    • PET/CT shielding design comparisons 
      Coker, Audra Lee (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
      The objective of this project was to compare two different methods of calculating dose through lead-shielded walls in the PET/CT suite at Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas. The ultimate goal was to see which of the ...
    • Thermal signature reduction through liquid nitrogen and water injection 
      Guarnieri, Jason Antonio (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
      The protection of aircraft against shoulder fired heat seeking missiles is of growing concern in the aviation community. This thesis presents a simple method for shielding the infrared signature of a jet engine from heat ...
    • Uncertainty Quantification of Concrete Utilized in Dry Cask Storage 
      Kelly, Ryan Patrick (2013-05-01)
      The objective of this thesis is to quantify the uncertainty in radiation dose rate estimates outside of a used fuel dry cask storage unit due to the parametric variability of concrete composition and density. This requires ...
