X-ray production can occur via two methods: Bremsstrahlung and characteristic x-rays. Bremsstrahlung x-rays are produced when a charged particle like an electron is deflected by an atomic nucleus, losing kinetic energy which is converted to a photon. Characteristic x-rays are emitted when electrons fall from higher to lower orbital shells within an atom. Collimators are used to reduce the size and shape of the x-ray beam, minimizing irradiated tissue volume within a patient and improving image quality by reducing scattered radiation reaching the film. The main interactions between x-rays and matter are coherent scattering, Compton scattering, and photoelectric absorption.
X ray production (Emission and Filtration)Edonna Jim
X-rays are produced when high-energy electrons interact with and decelerate in the anode target. This produces both characteristic x-rays from electron shell interactions and bremsstrahlung x-rays from electron deflection by atomic nuclei. The x-ray emission spectrum consists of discrete characteristic lines and a continuous bremsstrahlung spectrum ranging from zero to the peak tube voltage. Added and inherent filtration are used to filter out lower energy x-rays, hardening the beam for better tissue penetration and reducing patient dose from less penetrating x-rays. The quality and quantity of the x-ray beam are controlled respectively by adjusting the tube voltage and milliamperes.
This document provides an overview of the history and properties of dental radiography. It discusses how Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of x-rays in 1895 built upon prior work in electricity and magnetism. It then summarizes key developments in dental radiography, including Dr. C. Edmund Kells performing the first dental x-ray in 1899. The document also outlines the electromagnetic spectrum and defines x-rays as weightless energy packets that travel in straight lines. It describes the physical, chemical, and biological properties of x-rays and their interaction with matter, such as their ability to penetrate tissues and induce ionization.
The document discusses the spectrum of X-rays obtained from a Coolidge tube. It can produce either a continuous spectrum or characteristic lines depending on the conditions. A continuous spectrum results from low-energy electrons hitting the target. The shortest wavelength is determined by the tube voltage, not the target material. Higher voltages produce shorter wavelengths and more intense X-rays across all wavelengths. The maximum intensity occurs at a specific wavelength that shifts to shorter wavelengths with increasing voltage.
X-ray production involves an electron filament cathode that undergoes thermionic emission to produce electrons. These electrons are accelerated towards a tungsten anode target, where they either produce characteristic x-rays through electron shell interactions or bremsstrahlung x-rays through deceleration. The mAs controls the quantity of electrons and x-rays by determining the current to the x-ray tube filament, while the kVp controls the quality and energy of electrons and x-rays by determining the kinetic energy of electrons traveling from cathode to anode.
Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays in 1895 while studying cathode rays. He observed that a mysterious type of radiation was produced when electrons interacted with glass that could pass through objects and be detected outside the tube. X-rays are produced when high-energy electrons generated by an x-ray tube strike a metal target. They have properties such as being invisible, having no mass, and being able to pass through soft tissue but be absorbed by bone and metal. X-rays are used in medical imaging due to these properties allowing visualization of internal structures.

An x-ray machine produces x-rays through two processes when high-energy electrons hit a heavy metal target such as tungsten:
1) Bremsstrahlung occurs when the electrons are decelerated upon impact, producing a spectrum of photon wavelengths below the electrons' initial energy.
2) K-shell emission occurs when an electron is ejected from the target atom's inner shell, causing a higher-energy electron to fill the vacancy and emit a photon of a single wavelength unique to each element.
The document discusses x-rays and their production. It explains that x-rays have wavelengths between 0.01 to 10 nm and are produced when high energy electrons interact with atoms. Bremsstrahlung x-rays are produced when electrons are slowed by atoms, while characteristic x-rays are emitted when electrons knock inner shell electrons out of atoms and higher shell electrons fall to fill the vacancy. The document also discusses nuclear physics concepts like atomic and mass numbers.
1) Light has both particle and wave properties. It can behave as particles called photons, with energy determined by Planck's constant and wavelength or frequency.
2) The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from gamma rays to radio waves, ordered by decreasing wavelength and increasing energy.
3) Different regions of the EM spectrum, such as visible light, x-rays, and infrared waves, have distinct applications including vision, medical imaging, heating food, and more due to their energy levels and ability to penetrate or be absorbed by matter.
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation similar to but with shorter wavelengths than visible light. They are produced in an x-ray tube, which contains a cathode and anode that are charged oppositely; electrons accelerated by the voltage difference between the electrodes impact the anode, producing x-rays. The x-ray film used to detect x-rays consists of an emulsion containing light-sensitive crystals of silver halides.
X-rays can interact with matter through various interactions such as coherent scattering, photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, pair production, and photodisintegration. The photoelectric effect and Compton scattering are the most important interactions for diagnostic x-rays. The photoelectric effect accounts for about 75% of interactions and results in the emission of characteristic x-rays. Compton scattering accounts for about 20% of interactions and scatters x-rays without energy loss, producing scatter radiation. The interaction that occurs depends on the photon energy and the atomic number of the absorbing material.
The document discusses x-ray production in an x-ray tube. Electrons are emitted from a cathode and accelerated towards an anode. When electrons interact with the anode target, most of their energy is released as heat but 1% is released as two types of x-rays: characteristic x-rays of specific energies that are dependent on the target material, and bremsstrahlung x-rays that form a continuous spectrum. The x-ray emission spectrum contains peaks from characteristic x-rays and a curve from bremsstrahlung x-rays, and factors like voltage, current, filtration affect the spectrum's intensity and average energy.
X-rays are produced when fast moving electrons are suddenly stopped upon impacting a metal target, converting their kinetic energy into X-rays (1%) and heat (>99%). An X-ray tube contains two electrodes sealed in a glass envelope: a cathode with a heated tungsten filament for thermionic emission of electrons, and an anode target of tungsten. Electrons bombard the target at nearly half the speed of light. Increasing the tube voltage or current independently increases the number and energy of X-rays produced via characteristic radiation lines and continuous Bremsstrahlung spectrum, shifting the spectrum to higher energies important for medical imaging.
This document summarizes the production of x-rays. It describes how x-rays are produced when electrons are accelerated toward a metal target in an x-ray tube. The tube contains a cathode that emits electrons and an anode, made of tungsten or similar high atomic number metal, that absorbs the electrons. When electrons strike the target, they cause two types of x-rays to be emitted - bremsstrahlung and characteristic x-rays. Bremsstrahlung x-rays are produced when electrons are deflected by the target's nuclei, while characteristic x-rays are emitted when electrons fill vacancies left by ejected inner shell electrons. The document also discusses components of the x-ray
The x-ray tube is a key component of x-ray imaging systems. It contains a cathode that emits electrons and an anode that produces x-rays.

Modern tubes use rotating anodes to dissipate heat and produce a line-focused beam from the angled target, forming a small, effective focal spot. This design provides good resolution but can cause non-uniform intensity and extrafocal radiation from electrons missing the target.

This document provides an overview of radiation and ionizing radiation. It defines radiation as energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particulate matter that travels through the air. It describes the basic particles that make up atoms - protons, neutrons, and electrons - and how atoms are composed. Unstable atoms emit radiation as they seek stability. There are various types of ionizing radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, x-rays, and neutrons. Radiation exposure and dose are quantified, and biological effects of radiation at both the cellular level and for the human body are discussed. Controls for radiation include time, distance, and shielding to reduce exposure. Monitoring programs are also outlined.
There are three main types of interactions that occur when radiation interacts with matter: excitation, ionization, and radiative losses. Charged particles like electrons and alpha particles lose energy primarily through excitation and ionization of atoms in materials. The amount of energy deposited per unit length is known as linear energy transfer (LET). High LET radiations are more damaging than low LET radiations. When x-rays and gamma rays interact with matter, the main interactions are Rayleigh scattering, Compton scattering, and photoelectric absorption. Compton scattering is the predominant interaction for diagnostic x-rays, while photoelectric absorption dominates at lower energies.
Radiation can be ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules and includes alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, x-rays, and neutrons. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize but can excite electrons. Exposure to ionizing radiation can lead to cellular DNA damage and increased cancer risk over time depending on dose. Acute radiation sickness occurs above 100 rads while long term effects like cancer have no threshold. Occupational exposure limits aim to keep annual whole body dose below 5 rem (50 mSv) per year. Common sources of natural background radiation include radon gas and cosmic rays.
Radiation can be ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules and includes alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, x-rays, and neutrons. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize but can excite electrons. Exposure to ionizing radiation is measured in units of sieverts which account for the biological effects. Acute exposure can cause immediate effects while long term low dose exposure increases cancer risks. Exposure limits aim to prevent harm from occupational and environmental sources of radiation.
This document provides an overview of radiobiology and radiation biology. It begins by defining radiobiology as the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living systems. It then discusses the initial interactions of radiation with matter on an atomic level and how this can lead to molecular changes in cells and organisms over time, potentially resulting in injury or death. The document further explores the composition of matter, types of radiation including ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, radiation measurements, and concepts such as linear energy transfer and relative biological effectiveness. It also examines the sequence of radiation injury and key related terms.

Deep Shah presented on ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, ionizing them. There are three main types of radioactive decay - alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha particles emit helium nuclei, beta particles emit electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation similar to gamma rays but are emitted by electrons rather than the nucleus. While ionizing radiation can be hazardous, it has important medical uses such as radiation therapy to treat cancer.

The rest of the document discusses molecular spectroscopy, deviations from Beer's law, and applications of using spectrophotometry and Beer's law to determine equilibrium constants.
Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy uses the same apparatus as atomic absorption spectroscopy but measures the emitted radiation from excited atomic species rather than absorbed radiation. It can determine the concentration of elements present using either line sources like lasers or hollow cathode lamps, or continuous sources like xenon arc lamps. Interferences can occur from chemical reactions interfering with atomization, ionization of analytes, overlapping spectra from other elements or molecules, and background emission or scattering. These issues can be addressed through techniques like chemical separation, modulation of the detector, and background correction methods.
This document provides an introduction to fundamentals of spectroscopy. It discusses various types of spectroscopy including UV-visible, infrared, Raman, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The key topics covered are the electromagnetic spectrum, principles of absorption and emission of radiation, Beer-Lambert's law, instrumentation, applications of different spectroscopic techniques, and pioneers in the field of spectroscopy.
The document discusses various topics related to radiation and nuclear physics, including:
1) The inverse-square law and how radiation intensity decreases with distance from the source. An experiment is described to demonstrate this.
2) Different types of ionizing radiation like alpha, beta, gamma rays and their properties. Experiments with shielding materials like lead are proposed.
3) Natural and medical sources of radiation and how they contribute to typical human annual radiation doses. Most exposure is from natural background sources like radon.
4) Nuclear reactions like alpha decay, neutron capture, and beta decay are explained. Isotopic notation and how the element changes during these reactions is also covered.
Radiation can be ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules and includes alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, x-rays, and neutrons. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize but can excite electrons. Radiation is quantified by activity (disintegrations per second), exposure (energy deposited in air), absorbed dose (energy absorbed per mass), and biologically equivalent dose. Different types of ionizing radiation interact differently with tissues depending on their mass and charge. Acute radiation exposure can cause sickness and death while long-term effects include increased cancer risks and organ damage.
This document discusses radiation health and safety. It covers definitions of radiation, sources of radiation exposure including natural background radiation and medical uses, biological effects of radiation exposure, and methods of radiation monitoring, prevention and regulation. Radiation can come from external sources like X-rays or internal sources from ingesting or inhaling radioactive materials. Exposure is measured in units like the rad, rem and sievert which account for different types of radiation and their effects on tissues.
This document discusses atomic theory and electromagnetic radiation, including x-rays. It provides an overview of the atomic structure, including protons, neutrons, and electrons. It describes the electromagnetic spectrum and different types of ionizing radiation. X-rays are used in diagnostic imaging like radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography, and CT scans. Proper protection methods are needed to reduce radiation exposure for patients, staff, and the public.
Radiation interacts with matter through various mechanisms depending on the type of particle. The most common interaction mechanisms are ionization and scintillation. Particles can interact elastically through scattering or inelastically by exciting the target. Electrons interact via ionization, while photons interact via the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, or pair production depending on their energy. Understanding these interaction mechanisms is necessary for building radiation detectors.
The document discusses projectile motion, which is two-dimensional motion under constant acceleration. Projectiles follow a parabolic trajectory due to gravity acting downward. The horizontal and vertical motions can be analyzed separately, with the horizontal motion having constant velocity and the vertical following equations for constant acceleration. Key aspects include calculating the maximum height, range, and landing location of a projectile given initial velocity and angle.

SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) is a nuclear medicine technique that produces 3D images of organ function. It involves injecting a radioactive tracer that emits gamma rays, which are detected by a gamma camera as it rotates around the body. The detected gamma counts are used to construct 2D images from different angles and reproject them into a 3D image. SPECT provides functional information about organs and tissues, and is commonly used for heart, brain, and tumor imaging. While its resolution is lower than PET, SPECT remains an important clinical imaging modality.
The document discusses the Compton effect, where X-rays scatter off electrons. When X-rays interact with electrons at rest, the scattered X-rays exhibit lower frequencies than the incoming radiation. This was studied by Arthur Compton in 1926 and provided evidence for the photon theory of light. The document presents the assumptions of the Compton effect and a figure showing the interaction. It then derives the Compton scattering equation using conservation of energy and momentum, showing that the wavelength of the scattered photon increases relative to the incoming wavelength based on scattering angle.
This document discusses the photoelectric effect and provides an overview of key concepts and experimental results. It introduces the photoelectric effect as the ejection of electrons from a metal surface when light shines on it. Experimental results showed that increasing light intensity increases the number of ejected electrons but not their velocity, and that there is a threshold frequency below which the effect does not occur. Einstein's explanation was that electrons absorb entire photons at once, and his photoelectric equation relates the photon's energy to the kinetic energy of the ejected electron.
The sol gel method is a process for synthesizing nanoparticles that involves dissolving a compound in a liquid to bring it back as a solid in a controlled manner. It allows mixing at an atomic level and results in small, easily sinterable particles. The key steps are hydrolysis and condensation of precursor molecules to form a sol, which then undergoes gelation and aging before drying to form the final product. The method offers advantages like precise size control and doping but is also substrate dependent and time consuming.
Thermodynamics deals with bulk systems and their observable properties like temperature, pressure, and volume, without regard to microscopic structure. It measures these properties for systems that can be open, closed, or isolated by boundaries that may allow the transfer of energy and mass. The document introduces key thermodynamic concepts like state, property, process, and system and surroundings.
1. The document describes how to identify an unknown specimen using powder X-ray diffraction by comparing the specimen's diffraction pattern to standard patterns in the JCPDS database.
2. The identification process involves finding the three strongest peaks in the unknown pattern, locating them in the Hanawalt Search Manual index, and comparing relative intensities and all d-spacings to potential matching patterns.
3. For a single-phase specimen, once a match is found the identification is complete. For multi-phase specimens, additional peaks must be considered to distinguish between potential matching patterns.
The document discusses diffractometers and errors that can occur when using them to measure diffraction patterns. It describes common sources of error such as misalignment, use of a flat specimen, absorption in the specimen, and displacement of the specimen. It explains how errors can be reduced using analytical methods like extrapolating the lattice parameter or resolving diffraction peaks. Specifically, it outlines Cohen's analytical method which minimizes random errors by fitting sin^2θ values to linear equations to determine the true lattice parameter.
Simultaneously integrated boost (SIB) allows different doses to be delivered simultaneously to the planning target volume (PTV) and gross tumor volume (GTV), reducing the number of fractions needed. SIB provides a greater biological effective dose while allowing individual dose optimization to both targets in a single plan, overcoming limitations of conventional fractionation. An institutional study compared SIB to conventional 3D conformal radiation therapy in 30 patients with brain, breast, or bladder cancer, finding SIB reduced maximum doses to targets and organs at risk while shortening treatment duration by about a week.
This document reviews techniques for total skin electron beam (TSEB) therapy. It discusses the equipment needed, including a linear accelerator capable of producing large, uniform electron fields at an extended source-to-skin distance. The Stanford technique is described as delivering radiation using six dual electron fields while the patient rotates, allowing treatment in a small room. High dose rates of 2500-3000 cGy/min are recommended to reduce treatment time. Dose prescription for TSEB therapy typically involves delivering 27-40 Gy over 9 weeks at 4 days per week.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
