Studying Factors Affecting Indoor Gamma-radiation Dose using Mcnp5 Simulation Software-revisited: Adding Two More

Abstract:
The main factors that affect the gamma-radiation dose rate inside a room are defined in a simulation model. Some previously studied factors are the point of detection inside the room, the dimensions of the room, the thicknesses of the different parts of the room, and the density of the building material. The model is meant to ease the dose-rate estimation. Relative dose rates are calculated for different values of the different factors. The calculations are made using Monte Carlo n-particle simulation software. In this study two new factors are being added: the existence of a neighboring room and the split of a wall into two portions.

Transcription Elongation Factors
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...

Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...
Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
