The REWARD project aims for developing a novel Real Time Wide Area Radiation Surveillance System. The mobile sensing units for radiation detection and monitoring are based on the integration of a gamma and neutron detector. For both detectors novel solid-state detector technologies are exploited. The units are planned to be connected to a command and control center via secure communication infrastructure...
We investigate the charge collection efficiency of specially designed charge multiplication silicon strip detectors produced by MICRON in Liverpool under the framework of the CERN RD50 collaboration. Charge collection measurements are performed before and after proton and neutron irradiation to fluences of 1×1015 and 5×1015 1 MeV neq/cm2. Charge multiplication structures on these devices include varying...
Involving information and communication technology in health solutions has shown to raise satisfaction for both health care providers and patients. Several research works have been focusing on this issue, since it appears to be the suited solution for reaching an economically and socially viable solution to the increasing number of chronically ill patients which is currently stressing the healthcare...
Mobile telemedical applications are of crucial importance today as they do offer the potential to improve the quality of the health care related services. It has been proven that the leading cause of several illnesses and diseases are stress and the lack of fitness practices. Based on that, a system capable of estimating and monitoring both stress and fitness levels without a physical consultation...
In general, the results suggest communication technology is a strong predictor of exposure in mobile phone epidemiological studies. Different technologies can have a strong impact on the actual exposure, such as a factor >100 between GSM and UMTS. The same methodology can be applied to determine the relative daily exposure of specific tissues for specific mobile phones in specific networks when...
In this work maximum concentrations of the impurities hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide in synthetic wood gas for operation of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) at different working temperatures and flow conditions are reported. Additionally, an analysis of the influence of the impurity concentrations during the heating up and cooling down phases of the SOFC is given. The paper also deals with wood...
In the frame of this part of the EUREKA project BASEXPO the relation between the specific absorption rate and the electric field strength is investigated for real life exposure conditions arising next to common RF sources, e.g. mobile communication base stations. The first results show that the deviation of the whole body specific absorption rate for heterogeneous exposure conditions from the plane...
Dosimetric compliance tests are extremely time-consuming, especially since all configurations with every accessory must be evaluated. Faster SAR measurement techniques are desirable, e.g., for evaluation of the worst-case configuration or pre-compliance testing. This paper presents a novel dosimetric assessment system satisfying the requirements of precompliance, production line testing and rapid...
