CO2 and Radon Emissions as Precursors of Seismic Activity

AbstractThis paper reports a review on the relationship between seismic activity and the emissions of CO2 and radon. Direct, indirect and sampling methods are mainly employed to measure CO2 flux and concentration in seismic areas. The accumulation chamber technique is the mostly used in the literature. Radon gas emission in seismic areas can be considered as a short-term pre-seismic precursor. The study and the measurement of radon gas activity prior to earthquakes can be performed through active techniques, with the use of high-precision active monitors and through passive techniques with the use of passive detectors. Several investigators report models to explain the anomalous behavior of in-earth fluid gasses prior to earthquakes. Models are described and discussed

Radioluminescence properties of the CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dot nanocrystals with analysis of long-memory trends

This paper reports radioluminescence properties of the CdSe/ZnS quantum dots. Three quantum dot samples were prepared with concentrations 14.2 × 10−5 mg/mL, 21.3 × 10−5 mg/mL and 28.5 × 10−5 mg/mL, respectively. The ultraviolet induced emission spectra of CdSe/ZnS dots exhibited a peak at 550 nm ranging between 450 nm and 650 nm. Discrepancies observed between 250 nm and 450 nm were attributed to the solvent and cuvette. The absolute efficiency calculated from random fractional-Gaussian luminescence segments varied. Long-memory fractional-Brownian segments were also found. The quantum dot solution with concentration of 21.3 × 10−5 mg/mL exhibited the maximum absolute efficiency value at 90 kVp. The CdSe/ZnS dots have demonstrated potential for detection of X-rays in the medical imaging energy range
