Beta particles have a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton and carry either a single negative (electron) or positive (positron) charge. As they…

Lead is the most widely used shielding material, because its ability to efficiently shield X-rays is superior to that of other materials owing to its high Z number, high density,…

One has to know how the gamma radiation interact with the material. Conceptually every photon can make partly permeant change in the material. This part will produce no heat as…

Though some farms still employ silos today, most dairy farmers have begun what is called flat storage, a method of storing silage on ground that is covered in plastic. It…

Abstract. The mobile phones (MP) are low power radio devices which work on electromagnetic fields (EMFs), in the frequency range of 900-1800 MHz. Exposure to MPEMFs may affect brain physiology…
