Principles of methods

In the 13 radiodecay chain there are, between Ra and Pb, three alpha decays and two beta decays taking place within a reasonably short time span compared to the half-lives of Ra and Vb (Table 11-11). When a radioactive daughter has a short half-life compared to the parent, so-called secular equilibrium is achieved when parent and daughter remain together. Mathematically this relationship is expressed  

Thus in secular equilibrium the ratio ol the number of atoms to the half-life is a constant, i.e., the shorter the half-life the faster the decay rate, since the rate of decay. 

In practical terms, this means that the longer the half-life, the larger the amount of substance needed to make a quantitative determination by means of its radioactivity. 

When the alpha particle expends its energy in a p-n junction of a silicon diode, a bundle of electrons is lifted into the conducting band. When these electrons are recorded we talk of a solid state detector or surface harrier detector. 

The thermoluminescent dosimeter is a special phosphor, such as CaS04 doped with Dy, with the ability to trap electrons between the conducting and the valence bands. These trapped electrons will return quickly to the valence band when the phosphor is heated, producing a light pulse that can be recorded with a photomultiplier tube.

It is attempted to present easily comprehensible plain text with minimum equations. Number of figures is limited just to exemplify the backgrounds of the written information The recoimnendations of general literature sources like the reviews and books are preferred over citations of specific publications. On the other hand, a tribnte is paid to the scientists who stood at the cradle of methods discussed in this chapter and their inceptive, introductoiy works are quoted. Representation of applications of particnlar procedures is restricted to a few typical examples. The aim is mainly to illnstrate the principles of methods. Nnmerous cross references among sections are introduced to facilitate readability of chapter.

Method validation and method transfer are distinct processes. Method validation certifies that the method performs in the manner for which it was developed and is the responsibility of the method development laboratory. Method transfer, on the other hand, is the introduction of a validated method into a designated laboratory so that it can be used in the same capacity for which it was originally developed. Accordingly, method transfer criteria should be based on the SOPs which are unique to the designated laboratory. For the essential principles of method transfer, cfr. ref. [69]. Interlaboratory transfer of HPLC methods has been reported [70]. Inter technique validation is equally important. Both in R D and in a production environment, the change from one technology to another must be totally transparent. A sample concentration obtained by a method in one laboratory must be the same as that obtained by another method in another laboratory. 

The verification will be iteratively called in the development cycle of ISO 26262 and change only in the level of abstraction in its scope, but the basic activities and the principles of methods remain similar. ISO 26262 describe the process iterations and the application in the different level of abstraction as follow ... 

Essentially there are three methods by means of which transport numbers may be determined, viz. (i) the method due to Hittorf (of which there are several modifications), (ii) the moving boundary method (of which, again, there are several forms) and (iii) methods based on measurements of the e.m.f. s of concentration cells. The principles of methods (i) and (ii) will be considered here, the e.m.f. determination being discussed in a later chapter dealing with the application of e.m.f. measurements.
