BASED ON THE LASTEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN RADIATION DETECTION, A NOVEL IMAGING DETECTOR SITULTANEOUSLY RECORDING X-RAY IMAGING AT THREE SEPARATE ENERGIES IN PROPOSED. ACCORDING TO PRELIMINARY COMPUTATIONAL PREDICTATIONS THE DETECTOR IS EXPECTED TO HAVE EXCELLENT ENERGY SELECTION, EXCELLENT MEASUREMENT ACCURACY AND HIGH DETECTION SENSITIVITY. NEW DATA ANALYSIS APPROACH IS ALSO PREPOSED TO BEST UTILIZE T ...

N/A

A NOVEL TECHNIQUE IS PROPOSED USING A COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE LOW-FLUX, ISOTOPIC SOURCE AND MULTIPLE DETECTORS FOR SPECTRAL TRANSMISSION/SCATTERING RADIATION DATA TO OBTAIN CHARACTERISTIC SIGNATURES OF EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS. THE AMOUNT AND ENERGY OF SCATTERING DEPENDS ON THE DENSITY, COMPOSITION AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE MATERIAL, WHILE NEUTRON TRANSMISSION DEPENDS ON THE ATTENUATION CAPABILITY ...

N/A

FLAME RETARDANT FLEXIBLE POLYURETHANE FOAM FINDS WIDESPREAD COMMERCIAL USE AS A SEATING MATERIAL DUE TO ITS FAVORABLE COST, SUPPORT, AND RESILIENCE CHARACTERISTICS. HOWEVER, SMOKE AND TOXIC GAS EVOLUTION IN THE EVENT OF FIRE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO CREATE A FIRE RESISTANT COMPOSITE FOAM STRUCTURE WHICH WILL GENERATE NEGLIGIBLE QUANTITIES OF TOXIC FUMES WHEN EXPOSED TO FI ...
