Experimental characterization and Monte Carlo simulations of the dose enhancement on the millimeter scale of PAGAT infused with gadolinium
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-05-03)
This study reports on the determination of the K-edge dose enhancement factor achieved in a polymer gel dosimeter based on acrylamide, known as PAGAT, infused with a high concentration of a clinical gadolinium-based compound. ...
Validation by Molecular Dynamics of the Major Components of Sugarcane Vinasse, On a Surface of Calcium Carbonate (Calcite)
(MDPI AG, 2021-04-18)
There is ongoing interest in the alcohol industry to significantly reduce and/or add value to the liquid residue, vinasse, produced after the distillation and rectification of ethanol from sugar cane. Vinasse contains ...
Dose-response of Fricke- and PAGAT-dosimetry gels in kilovoltage and megavoltage photon beams: Impact of LET on sensitivity
(Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica, 2021-04-07)
Purpose: Dosimetry of ionizing radiation quantifies the energy deposited by an incident beam to the medium. This study presents the relative response of two types of gel dosimeters describing their differences by estimating ...
Reverse circulation in Bahía Santa Elena, North Pacific of Costa Rica
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-02-10)
This work describes the water circulation of Bahía Santa Elena using velocity fields and hydrographic data obtained from a ship-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and a vertical profiler Conductivity–Temperature–Depth ...
Synthesis of a metal chelating monomer for radiation polymer dosimetry
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-03)
To enhance the performance of polymeric dosimeters it is necessary to design novel formulations considering the mechanisms that register the absorbed dose (e.g. induced polymerization) and the readout method. The combination ...
Considerations for functional food design based on starch-protein interactions: a systematic review
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021-03-26)
This systematic review aims to discuss the considerations in the design of starch-based foods from protein interactions, according to their functional, technological, and nutritional effects. Thereof, a systematic search ...
