Design and testing of optimal personal protective equipment for high energy radiation on earth and beyond
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
This study incorporates an experimental and an associated modeling investigation of human protective shielding methodologies for two extreme environments: first responders or military personnel in the case of nuclear or radiological incidents (360...
Discrete NaI(TI) crystal detector optimization for small animal SPECT molecular imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
discrete crystal SPECT detectors was under performance evaluation in our laboratory for SPECT molecular imaging. The CT component consists of a CCD x-ray detector and a micro-focus x-ray source (40 [mu] m focal spot). MicroSPECT performance was assessed...

Voxel based beta particle dosimetry methods in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Radionuclide therapy cancer agents require dose information to determine efficacy in preliminary animal studies. Patient specific techniques for ...
Modeling of molecular and particulate transport in dry spent nuclear fuel canisters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
There are two important phenomena associated with the depressurization of a dry spent nuclear fuel canister after the formation of a through-wall pinhole breach. The first phenomenon is the release from the canister of any ...
