Novel Technique for Ultra-sensitive Determination of Trace Elements in Organic Scintillators [PDF]
A technique based on neutron activation has been developed for an extremely high sensitivity analysis of trace elements in organic materials. Organic materials are sealed in plastic or high purity quartz and irradiated at the HFIR and MITR.

Assessment of natural radioactivity in bottled mineral water from Brazil
The approach taken in the WHO Guidelines for controlling radiological hazards in public water supplies has two stages. The first is an initial screening for gross alpha and beta activity to determine whether the activity concentrations are below levels ...

Detection of liquid xenon scintillation light with a Silicon Photomultiplier [PDF]
We have studied the feasibility of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) to detect liquid xenon (LXe) scintillation light. The SiPM was operated inside a small volume of pure LXe, at -95 degree Celsius, irradiated with an internal Am-241 alpha source.

A comparative study of different radiometric methodologies for the determination of 226Ra in water
An evaluation of various radiometric methods to analyze 226Ra in water has been employed on a set of 10 standard solutions of different concentrations in the range of 1–10 Bq/L−1. The analysis was carried out using well-established procedures by means of

Purification of Starch Granules from Arabidopsis Leaves and Determination of Granule-Bound Starch Synthase Activity [PDF]
Starch constitutes the most important carbon reserve in plants and is composed of branched amylopectin and linear amylose. The latter is synthesized exclusively by the Granule-Bound Starch Synthase (GBSS, EC 2.4.1.21).
