Plastic scintillators are widely used as particle detectors in many fields, mainly, medicine, particle physics and astrophysics. Traditionally, they are coupled to a photo-multiplier (PMT) but now silicon photo-multipliers ...

Electroporated and dried apples were characterised in terms of physical properties, such as sorption profile and mechanical test, in order to understand the treatment effects. Thermodynamic relationship between water ...

We report the assembly and testing of a preamplification and amplification system for pulses produced by gaseous radiation detectors commonly used in Mössbauer spectroscopy. The system is composed by a pair of commercial ...

Palladium electrocrystallization on Ti film is studied through theoretical models of nucleation and growth. At the applied potential + 0.1 V, palladium electrodeposition followed a mechanism through these steps: adsorption, ...

Fabricating aluminium surfaces with superhydrophobic and ice-repellent properties present nowadays a challenging task. In this work, multifunctional structures are manufactured by direct laser writing and direct laser ...
