Following exposure to aerosols of depleted uranium (DU), biological samples show the presence of a synthetic mixture of natural uranium and DU. By partitioning the uranium in the 24-h urine sample along the isotopic fractions of natural uranium and DU, one can study the kinetics of these subpopulations independently. A linear model is ...

The oxidation states of uranium in depleted uranium (DU) particles were determined by synchrotron radiation based mu-XANES, applied to individual particles isolated from selected samples collected at different sites in Kuwait. Based on scanning electron microscopy with X-ray microanalysis prior to mu-XANES, DU particles ranging from submicrons to several ...

Different methods of solid flux welding are reviewed and the possibility of monitoring weld quality by acoustic emission is discussed. Phenomena which account for acoustic emission during welding are identified. Characterization of acoustic emission with ...

or when DU burns, DU oxide dust is created. DU exposure may occur from inhalation or ingestion of DU dust, contamination of wounds with DU dust, or from embedded DU munitions or...

Calculations of radiative losses in a thermonuclear plasma for impurity C,O,Fe, Mo ions are carried out to take into account the effect of the injected neutral beams on the radiation of impurity ions. Data on the magnification ratio of radiative losses du...

The purpose of this study is to define which Resource Type is applicable to the Province of Quebec and its law enforcement. This report will take into account the levels of police services that the municipal police forces in Quebec and the Surete du Quebe...

This report studies the energy accounting in the building trade, in France, for the year 1994. The energy consumption, in residential and tertiary sectors are given. The evolution of different polluting emissions in building industry are given. The differ...

The analytical method presented herein, developed through the Flood Control Channels Research Program, is intended for use to estimate channel dimensions for preliminary design studies. It accounts for the movement of sediment and for varying roughness du...

Depleted uranium (DU) has become a soil contaminant of considerable concern in many combat zones and weapons-testing sites around the world, including locations in Europe, the Middle East and the USA, arising from its dispersion via the application of DU-bearing munitions. Once DU is released into the environment its mobility and ...
