In this work, a radiological technique which simultaneously measures soil bulk density and water contents accurately and quickly in a non-destructive manner at different depths of the soil profile of the major soil series of Central Southwestern Nigeria is developed. Undisturbed samples from Iwo, Ondo, Egbeda, Itagunmodi, Okemessi, Mamu, Origo and Jago

A Dual Energy Gamma-Ray Transmission Technique for Gold Alloy Identification.
An application of the dual energy gamma-ray transmission techniques to gold alloy identification is presented. The measurement by dual energy gamma-ray transmission is independent of thickness and density of a sample. Due to this advantage, golden accessories such as necklaces, earrings and rings can be assayed inspite of their various thicknesses and ...

Examination for Analysis of Minerals by Means of Dual Energy Gamma-ray Transmission Techniques.
For application of dual energy gamma-ray transmission techniques to practical mineral grade analysis, some problems including selection of gamma-ray energies, influence of sample thickness and main causes of errors in measurement have been examined.The relationships between the R-values (the ratio of mass attenuation coefficients for low and high ...

WATER CONTENT AND BULK DENSITY CHANGES IN A SOIL PEDON MEASURED WITH DUAL ENERGY GAMMA-RAY TRANSMISSION [PDF]
Water contents and bulk densities were measured in a soil pedon with a gamma-ray transmission technique utilizing 137Cs and 241Am. By alternating the sources for each scan down the soil profile, both bulk density and water content were determined in 1-cm increments in the top 10 cm of the pedon.
