Exposure time-window

To verify the modelling of the data eolleetion process, calculations of SAT 4, in the entrance window of the XRII was compared to measurements of RNR p oj in stored data as function of tube potential. The images object was a steel cylinder 5-mm) with a glass rod 1-mm) as defect. X-ray spectra were filtered with 0.6-mm copper. Tube current and exposure time were varied so that the signal beside the object. So, was kept constant for all tube potentials. Figure 8 shows measured and simulated SNR oproj, where both point out 100 kV as the tube potential that gives a maximum. Due to overestimation of the noise in calculations the maximum in the simulated values are normalised to the maximum in the measured values. Once the model was verified it was used to calculate optimal choice of filter materials and tube potentials, see figure 9.

Quantitative Photolysis. Photolysis experiments were performed by exposing samples to a 450 Watt medium pressure mercury lamp. A shutter was placed between the samples and the lamp so that the exposure time could be accurately controlled. Unless otherwise stated, the samples were placed 4 inches from the lens. Filters (254 nm, 280 nm and 366 nm) when used, were placed immediately in front of the shutter. Sample holders were available for 1" x 1" quartz plates, NaCl windows and quartz UV cuvettes, and samples of each type were utilized. 

Although SEMs or ESEMs are very powerful in imaging nanoscale materials or particles, caution should be taken to avoid electron beam damage to specimen. This is particularly important when a nanomanipulation system with a force measurement device is to be used to characterise the mechanical properties of particles. Ren et al. (2007, 2008) identified that such damage depended on the electron dose and exposure time, as well as the type of materials under test, and it is extremely important to find a time window in which the damage is negligible to obtain reliable mechanical property data. 

The combination of the health-relevant time-window and the toxicokinetic properties of the agent of interest determine the optimal exposure assessment strategy. Dioxin, a contaminant of chlorophenoxy herbicides and fungicides, has a relatively long biological half-life, estimated at about seven years and is measurable in serum. Serum measurements of dioxin are therefore relatively stable, and simple first-order kinetics have been used to back-estimate serum dioxin levels on the basis of an occupational history. Such exposure data have been used quite successfully in epidemiological analyses of cohorts of pesticide producers (Hooiveld et al, 1998). 

These factors illustrate the complexity of exposure assessment for epidemiology. The need to consider both the health-relevant time window and the biological...
