The gamma ray attenuation method (GAM) has been used with success in soil science since
the fifties of the last century. Several soil properties can be measured directly or indirectly in …

In this paper, the EPICS2017 photoatomic database was used to evaluate the photon mass
attenuation coefficients and buildup factors of soils collected at different depths in the …

This study involved the preparation of natural rubber-based composites incorporating
varying proportions of heavy metals and rare earth oxides (Sm2O3, Ta2O5, and Bi2O3). The …

In this work, the gamma mass attenuation coefficient is investigated experimentally and
theoretically for soil and oil-soil samples have been collected from different locations of …

In this paper, alloy samples consisting of (Pb, Sn, Cu) were prepared in different proportions.

Abstract Purpose Political tensions in Iraq have made attention to environmental issues not
a priority for the authorities. Therefore, the influence of Kirkuk and Erbil refineries on …

In this paper, we present in details a method for determining the soil density of disturbed
samples. The mass attenuation coefficient was also evaluated by using the relation between …

The study of radiation interaction parameters in complex materials (eg, soils) has gained
great importance in the last decades. However, few studies have directly addressed in detail …

The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), effective atomic number (Z eff), and effective
electron density (N eff) values of soils in mangrove forests across the Philippine islands …

In this work, Lead Borate glass system doped with sodium is prepared and fabricated using
the melt-quenching technique. The glasses are prepared based on the empirical formula of …
