Radiation response issues for infrared detectors

Researchers describe the most important radiation response issues for infrared detectors. In general, the two key degradation mechanisms in infrared detectors are the noise produced by exposure to a flux of ionizing particles (e.g.; trapped electronics and protons, debris gammas and electrons, radioactive decay of neutron-activated materials) and permanent damage produced by exposure to total dose. Total-dose-induced damage is most often the result of charge trapping in insulators or at interfaces. Exposure to short pulses of ionization (e.g.; prompt x rays or gammas, delayed gammas) will cause detector upset. However, this upset is not important to a sensor unless the recovery time is too long. A few detector technologies are vulnerable to neutron-induced displacement damage, but fortunately most are not. Researchers compare the responses of the new technologies with those of the mainstream technologies of PV HgCdTe and IBC Si:As. One important reason for this comparison is to note where some of the newer technologies have the potential to provide significantly improved radiation hardness compared with that of the mainstream technologies, and thus to provide greater motivation for the pursuit of these technologies

Analisis Jumlah Trombosit Dan Leukosit Pada Pasien Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) Di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Kabupaten Barru

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a chronic fever disease caused by infection with the dengue virus which is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Laboratory abnormalities that are often found in DHF patients are thrombocytopenia and leukopenia. This study aims to determine the results of examination of platelet and leukocyte counts in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients. This study used a descriptive design with the population being all dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients at the Barru District General Hospital. The sample consisted of 30 DHF patients whose platelet and leukocyte counts were checked using a hematology analyzer for 3 consecutive days of hospitalization. The sampling technique in this research is the purposive sampling method. The results of the study showed that there were 30 DHF patients consisting of 14 (47%) men and 16 (53%) women with the highest age found `DHF being 8 - 12 years old, 10 people (33.33%). On the first day of hospitalization, 29 people experienced thrombocytopenia and 1 person had normal platelets. On the second day of hospitalization, 25 people experienced thrombocytopenia and 5 people had normal platelets. On the third day of hospitalization, 11 people experienced thrombocytopenia and 19 people had normal platelets. On the first day of hospitalization, 17 people experienced leukopenia, 11 people had normal leukocytes and 2 people had leukocytosis. On the second day of hospitalization, 8 people experienced leukopenia and 22 people had normal leukocytes. On the third day of hospitalization, 3 people experienced leukopenia and 27 people had normal leukocytes. This study shows that the majority of DHF patients experience thrombocytopenia while the platelet count tends to be normal.Demam berdarah dengue (DBD) adalah penyakit demam menahun yang disebabkan oleh infeksi virus dengue yang ditularkan melalui gigitan nyamuk Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus.

Regional-scale hydrological modelling using multiple-parameter landscape zones and a quasi-distributed water balance model

Regional-scale catchments are characterised typically by natural variability in climatic and land-surface features. This paper addresses the important question regarding the appropriate level of spatial disaggregation necessary to guarantee a hydrologically sound consideration of this variability. Using a simple hydrologic model along with physical catchment data, the problem is reconsidered as a model parameter identification problem. With this manner of thinking the subjective nature as to what to include in the disaggregation scheme is removed and the problem reconsidered in terms of what can be supported by the available data. With such an approach the relative merit of different catchment disaggregation schemes is viewed in terms of their ability to provide constrained parameterisations that can be explained in terms of the physical processes deemed active within a catchment. The outlined methodology was tested for a regional-scale catchment, located in eastern Australia, and involved using the quasi-distributed VIC catchment model to recover the characteristic responses resulting from the disaggregation of the catchment into combinations of climate, soil and vegetation characteristics. A land-surface classification based on a combination of soil depth and land cover type was found to provide the most accurate streamflow predictions during a 10-year validation period. Investigation of the uncertainty associated with the predictions due to weakly identified parameters however, revealed that a simpler classification based solely on land cover actually provided a more robust parameterisation of streamflow response. The result alludes to the hydrological importance of distinguishing between forested and non-forested land cover types at the regional-scale, and suggests that given additional information soil-depth / storage considerations may also have proved significant. Improvements to the outlined method are discussed in terms of increasing the informative content available to differentiate between competing catchment responses.</p> <p style='line-height: 20px;'><b>Keywords:</b> regional-scale, spatial variability, disaggregation, hydrotype, quasi-distributed, parameterisation, uncertaint
