Design and Construction of Multichannel Analyzer Using ADC Sound Card for Gamma Spectroscopy
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Abulfazl (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the applications of signal digitization is its use in nuclear spectroscopy and in particular gamma ray spectroscopy. Parameters such as pulse amplitude and formation, pulse shrinkage correction or reduction, and pulse sampling are performed by the amplifier circuit and MCA. Such algorithms have advantages such as real-time pulse height analysis, high flexibility and significant cost reduction.Therefore, in this project, an attempt has been made to design a pulse analyzer system using electronic circuits and a computer ADC sound card. Optimal system will detect, amplify and shape the detector input signal, reduce the effect of pulse accumulation, count the number of pulses, and so...
Evaluation of the Possibility of Diagnosing Female Gynecologic Cancer using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)Spectroscopy of Hair and Nail
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Hosseini, Abulfazl (Supervisor) ; Salimi, Ehsan (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, indirect methods of cancer detection that utilize changes in trace element levels in various parts of the body, such as hair and nails, have garnered significant attention from researchers.The primary objective of these methods is to identify alterations in trace element levels that serve as biological markers in the presence of disease. While direct examination of affected organs remains the gold standard for cancer diagnosis, it is often expensive, time-consuming, inconvenient, and associated with potential side effects. Therefore, if the effectiveness of this approach is validated, it could serve as a cost-effective, non-invasive, safe, and early diagnostic method in...

Abstract
Noise analysis techniques including Feynman-α (variance-to-mean) and Rossi-α (correlation) have been simulated by MCNP computer code to calculate the prompt neutron decay constant (α0), effective delayed neutron fraction (βeff) and neutron generation time (Λ) in a subcritical condition for the first operating core configuration of Tehran Research Reactor (TRR). The reactor core is considered to be in zero power (reactor power is less than 1 W) in the entire simulation process. The effect of some key parameters such as detector efficiency, detector position and its dead time on the results of simulation has been discussed as well. The results of proposed method in the current study are...

Abstract
The nitrate-citrate gel exhibits auto-catalytic behavior, which can be used to synthesize nanocrystalline YIG powders. In this study, yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12) nanocrystalline powders were prepared by a sol-gel auto-combustion process. The influence of metal nitrates to citric acid molar ratio (MN/CA) of the precursor solution on the combustion behavior and crystallite size of synthesized powders was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal analyses (DTA/TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that with increasing MN/CA value, the combustion rate increases and the single-phase YIG forms at a higher temperature. The crystallite size of the single phase YIG...

The tests are conducted in four different stress ratios between 0 and 1. At first step, plates with similar cracks and geometries have been prepared. Then the glass/epoxy patches have been attached to the cracked plates using Araldite 2015 adhesive. Fatigue load has been applied to three cases of samples including non-patch, one-side patch and two-side patch, where in all stress ratios the maximum force is considered constant.

Abstract
Nanocrystalline Y3-xMMxFe5O12 powders (MM denotes Misch-metal, x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) were synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method. Magnetic properties and crystalline structures were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and a scanning electron microscope. The XRD patterns showed that the single-phase garnet of Y3-xMMxFe5O12 was formed at x values ≤ 1.0. The saturation magnetization of powders increased with decreasing MM content and reached the maximum value at Y3 Fe5O12. The crystallite size of powders calcined at 800°C for 3 h was in the range of 38-53 nm. © 2008 American Ceramic Society

Abstract
In the present paper, neutron spectrum is reconstructed using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Modified Least Square (MLSQR) methods. The detector's response (pulse height distribution) as a required data for unfolding of energy spectrum is calculated using the developed MCNPX-ESUT computational code (MCNPX-Energy engineering of Sharif University of Technology). Unlike the usual methods that apply inversion procedures to unfold the energy spectrum from the Fredholm integral equation, the MLSQR method uses the direct procedure. Since liquid organic scintillators like NE-213 are well suited and routinely used for spectrometry of neutron sources, the neutron pulse height distribution is...
