  1. 31. Theoretical design of an XRF system for environmental measurements of Mercury in fiber banks

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för elektronikkonstruktion

    Author : Runpeng Yu; [2020]
    Keywords : XRF detection system; MCNP modelling; Mercury; Fiber bank;

    Abstract : This thesis demonstrates the advantages of using the Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) system to quantify the mercury content in fiber banks at first. The Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code was then used to simulate the XRF system model with suitable parameters such as the input X-ray energy level, the detector material, and the environmental factor (water depth).

  3. 32. Smart Environment - Early Wildfire Detection using IoT

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Carl Hidestål; André Zreik; [2020]
    Keywords : Internet of Things; Wildfire; Forest fire; Narrowband-IoT; Particle detection; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Problems with extreme weather, such as drought, has increased due to greenhouse emissions. As one of the consequences to this, forest fires have emerged more frequently on a global level. This became obvious in Sweden, in the summer of 2018, which has been stated to have been the worst affected year of forest fires in modern time. READ MORE

  4. 33. Project on Radon Dosimetry

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för elektronikkonstruktion

    Author : Dongxue Guo; [2020]
    Keywords : Radon; detector; alpha particles;

    Abstract : The World Health Organization lists radon as one of the 19 most important substances that cause cancer. As a naturally occurring harmful gas, Radon mostly exist in rocks, making caves, mines, etc. However, since Radon gas has great ability to dissolve in water, radon can travel to anywhere. READ MORE

  5. 34. Lung Deposition of Airborne Particles - Resolved in a Single Breath

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Amalia Larsson Hurtig; [2020]
    Keywords : Aerosols; Airborne particles; Inhalation; Lung deposition; Respiratory tract deposition; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Exposure to airborne particulate matter has been declared to cause cardiovascular and respiratory disease as well as cancer. By understanding how the aerosol particles deposit in our respiratory tract, we can understand how the exposure to airborne particles affect our health. READ MORE

  6. 35. Prominent variable detection in lipid nanoparticle experiments : A simulation study on non-parametric change point analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Hongru Zhai; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Images as important sources of information, powered by the newest robotic microscopy technologies, make the volume of data available larger than ever before. From the images, hundreds of variables can be calculated. READ MORE
