Relationship of Meteorological Variables with the Concentration of Various Tree Pollen Types in Madrid (Spain) by Javier Chico-Fernández, Esperanza Ayuga-Téllez

“…To this end, a multivariate analysis was carried out using Spearman’s linear correlation coefficient between the concentrations in the Madrid atmosphere of six types of tree pollen (Cupressaceae, <i>Olea</i>, <i>Platanus</i>, <i>Pinus</i>, <i>Ulmus</i> and <i>Populus</i>) and each of the six meteorological variables: relative humidity, precipitation, temperature, wind, radiation and insolation. The meteorological parameters most correlated with pollen types, with monthly values, are temperature and insolation, followed by radiation and relative humidity. …”

Radiological safety assessment of sugar consumption in South Africa—a study of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K levels by Samuel Odumu Ogana John, Stephen Friday Olukotun, Stephen Friday Olukotun, Moses Mpofana Radebe, Manny Mathuthu

“…Annual effective ingestion dose from intake of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K, for infants (1–2 years), children (7–12 years), and adults (&gt;17 years) ranged from 0.28 to 0.69, 0.32 to 0.82, and 0.12 to 0.30 mSv/year, respectively, and the respective mean values are 0.40 ± 0.11, 0.45 ± 0.14, and 0.17 ± 0.05 mSv/year. 228Ra contributed the largest proportion to ingestion dose (46–67%), indicating potential radiation risk to bones. Lifetime cancer risk ranged from 1.25 × 10−8 to 4.95 × 10−8 for 226Ra, 1.95 × 10−8 to 4.77 × 10−8 for 228Ra, and 5.53 × 10−7 to 1.19 × 10−6 for 40K, with a total mean of 8.96 × 10−7 ± 2.31 × 10−7. …”

INFINITESIMAL FIELD SIZE HVL OF ISO 4037 NARROW SPECTRUM X-RAYS: SIMULATED RESULTS by Ngoc Thiem Le

“…This work presents Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) simulated values of HVL and their standard deviations for an infinitesimal radiation field size. The HVL values, calculated from simulated values of air kerma at a detector position for various radiation field sizes, were extrapolated to an infinitesimal field size for different ISO 4037 narrow spectrum X-ray beam qualities at two distances from an X-ray source. …”

Omnidirectional Dual-Reflector Antenna with GO Shaped Main Reflector for Pattern Control in the Elevation Plane: OADC Case by José R. Bergmann, Fernando J. S. Moreira

“…This paper presents a formulation for shaping the main reflector of an axis-symmetric dual-reflector antenna designed to offer an omnidirectional coverage with an arbitrary radiation pattern in the vertical plane. The subreflector is generated by an axis-displaced conic, and the main reflector is shaped to achieve a prescribed far-field radiation pattern. …”
