The use of epidote in fission track dating was abandoned since the beginning of the 1980s due to difficulties like absence of a standard etching procedure, obtainment of different closure temperatures and the percentage ...

Manual identification of fission tracks has practical problems, such as variation due to observer observation efficiency. An automatic processing method that could identify fission tracks in a photomicrograph could solve ...

The external detector method (EDM) is a widely used technique in fission track thermochronology (FTT) in which two different minerals are concomitantly employed: spontaneous tracks are observed in apatite and induced ones ...

Along the years, etching for fission tracks was a major issue in the development of the epidote fission track dating. It was not a consensus in the scientific community. As an attempt to mitigate it, we present a novel ...

Choice-based conjoint is a popular technique for characterizing consumers' choices. Three eye-tracking studies explore decision processes in conjoint choices that take less time and become more accurate with practice. These ...

A low-cost circuit was developed for stable and efficient maximum power point (MPP) tracking in autonomous photo voltaic-motor systems with variable-frequency drives (VFDs). The circuit is made of two resistors, two ...
