222Rn daughters influence on scaler mode of the ARGO-YBJ detector

, 2011
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is a full coverage air shower array; its lowest energy threshold is reached using the "scaler mode technique". Working in this mode, the signals generated by any particle hitting each cluster are put in coincidence every 150 ns ...

Photons as Working Body for Photovoltaic Devices: Conversion of Photon to Electron from a Simplified Perspective

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2026.
In this work two models to study the photovoltaic response of solar cells are reported. The first model considers the bandgap effect to quantify the conversion of photons into electrons that makes up the photocurrent in the maximum electrical output power condition. The second model quantifies photocurrent in the short circuit condition from the energy

Radon variability due to floor level in two typical residential buildings in Serbia

Nukleonika, 2020
It is well known that one of the factors that influence the indoor radon variability is the floor level of the buildings. Considering the fact that the main source of indoor radon is radon in soil gas, it is expected that the radon concentration ...

The Rapid Progress of Climate Change Requires Effective Concepts for Protecting People Indoors

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 17, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
As climate change progresses, society is increasingly exposed to extreme weather events. It is therefore necessary to adapt our buildings, housing infrastructure, and logistics to protect people and provide them with an appropriate living environment. ABSTRACT According to the latest forecasts from the United Nations, it is highly likely that we will ...

Characterising the Source of Radon Indoors

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 1984
Average indoor radon concentrations range over more than two orders of magnitude, largely because of variability in the rate at which radon enters from building materials, soil, and water supplies. Determining the indoor source magnitude requires knowledge of the generation of radon in source materials, its movement within materials by diffusion and ...
