(2020-04-22)The proposed project focuses on the issue of inaccurate temperature control in a critical environment. Currently, there are two options with respect to radiation testing, in house radiation testing, or traveling to third ...
-
(2016-12-13)The purpose of this study is to quantitatively compare the accuracy of radiation transport finite element methods which use a contiguous support to those which use a discontiguous support of the energy domain. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The objective o f this dissertation is to investigate the physical and chemical mechanisms involved when ionizing radiation interacts with biological m olecules in aqueous solution. Polyuridylic acid has been selected as ...
-
(2009-05-15)As radiation specialists, one of our primary objectives in the Navy is protecting people and the environment from the effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Focusing on radiological dispersal devices (RDD) will ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Two types of radiation sources were developed and calibrated, a ('16)N source with an intensity of approximately 0.0035 Gray/hr (350 mrad/hr) and a set of five capture gamma sources with intensities of approximately 0.03-0.07 ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)This study examines the carcinogenic effect of HZE radiation and protective effects of different types of diets against colon carcinogenesis in a rat model. The effect of HZE radiation on health state and colon cancer ...

In vivo measurement system calibration using magnetic resonance imaging and Monte Carlo computations (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)A new method for calibrating in vivo measurement systems using magnetic resonance imaging and Monte Carlo computations is presented. The method employs the enhanced three-point Dixon technique for producing pure fat and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Numerical simulations were used to investigate natural convection and radiation interactions in small enclosures of both two and three-dimensional geometries. The objectives of the research were to (1) determine the ...
-
(2009-05-15)This dissertation presents a numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer in a channel with a backward-facing step. Flow was considered to be steady, incompressible, and laminar. The flow medium was ...
-
(2016-08-02)This thesis will compare the performance of the Challenge 1 unmanned surface vehicle when autonomously conducting a radiological survey of a bounded, obstacle free, convex polygon via a traditional raster scan versus a ...

Institute of Comparative Medicine. Tim Webb, graduate student in Veterinary Physiology. Current studies involve the effect of radiation upon the eyes & skin.
-
(2022-09-29)The detection of holdup in a nuclear material processing facility that utilizes glove boxes is both important and challenging. Being able to determine the position of holdup in a glovebox can help streamline the efficiency ...
-
(2021-05-03)A remote laboratory for radiation detection and physical security was developed and implemented to provide students and professionals with education and training in nuclear security. Beginning with a proof-of-concept remote ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A new model for an adult human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has been developed for use in internal dose estimations to the wall of the GIT and to the other organs and tissues of the body from radionuclides deposited in the ...

Skeletal Impacts of Continuous Low-Dose-Rate Gamma Radiation Exposure During Simulated Microgravity (2018-07-03)One of the greatest unknowns in human spaceflight is the effects of low-dose-rate galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). The majority of radiation studies deliver the total radiation dose expected on a 2-3 year mission in minutes. ...
