Analysis of environmental radionuclides
by Povinec, P.
fromRadioactivity in the environment
The purpose of this book is to present a state of art summary of current knowledge of methods of assessment of radionuclides in the terrestrial and marine environments. It cover the traditional methods of radioactivity measurements such a radiometrics techniques, but also recent…
For decades, the surface-plasmon-polariton wave guided by the interface of simple isotropic materials dominated the scene. However, in recent times research on electromagnetic surface waves guided by planar interfaces has expanded into new and exciting areas. In the 1990's resea…
Contains 17 full biographies and 6 briefer accounts of most of the early women pioneers in the study of radioactivity.
First Published in 1991, this book offers a full, comprehensive guide into the aspects of radiation and how it affects our bodies. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of notes, diagrams, and references this book serves as a useful reference for Students of Radio…
This book lays the foundations for you to understand all that you always wanted to know about radioactivity. It begins by setting out essential information about the structure of matter, how radiation occurs and how it can be measured. It goes on to explore the substantial benef…
