ABSTRACT The relevance of investigating atmospheric particulate matter (PM) in the school environment is related to its significant impact on the health of school‐age children. In this context, the present study focuses on the characterization of suspended atmospheric PM in eight elementary schools located in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro ...

Evaluating the Microstructure and Interaction of Bioaggregates in Concrete Using microCT
ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of x‐ray computed microtomography (microCT) to evaluate the incorporation of bioaggregates—specifically macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) endocarp and jute fibers—into cement‐based composites. MicroCT enables non‐destructive, three‐dimensional characterization of the internal microstructure, providing insights into ...

Evaluation of Some Parameterization Models for Photon Cross Sections in Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT
ABSTRACT Using multienergy CT with energy‐dispersive detectors and dual‐energy CT (DECT), traditional CT images can be combined to extract material parameters such as electron density (ρ e ) and effective atomic number (Z eff ). This study evaluates parameterizations for deriving ρ e and Z eff from CT numbers (HU) to generate new CT images.

ABSTRACT In this study, a method to analyze iron originating from heme using a combination of total reflection X‐ray fluorescence (TXRF) analysis and solid‐phase extraction is presented. In this method, heme in a sample solution was collected on a reverse‐phase solid‐phase extraction column filled with octadecyl bonded silica, and then the collected ...

Thickness Calculation of Pigment Layers and Gold Leaves Using XRF and MA‐XRF Data
ABSTRACT In this work, XRF and MA‐XRF data were used to estimate the thickness of Chromium Oxide (Cr₂O₃) pigment and gold leaf applied over Lead White (2PbCO3.Pb(OH)2). The thickness determination was based on the differential attenuation of the Pb‐Lα and Pb‐Lβ characteristic X‐rays, which allows correlating the overlying material layer with the Pb(Lα ...
