Ultrasound radiation detection

In a similar work, ultrasound radiation was used to prepare EU2O3 doped in zir-conia and yttrium-stabilized zirconium (YSZ) nanoparticles [83]. Europium oxide was also coated sonochemically on the surface of submicron spherical zirconia and YSZ, which were fabricated by wet chemical methods. Time decay measurements of the doped and coated materials were conducted using a pulsed laser source. Lifetimes < 1.1 ms radiative lifetime of the Eu+ ions were detected for the doped and coated as-prepared materials. When the doped and coated samples were an-... 

The technique involves evaluating reflection (echo) and transmission characteristics of an ultrasound radiation, when crossing layers of different density, which present different acoustic impedance. Illumination intensity of different zones using echography is proportional to the density of the crossed structures, thus, the technique detects the presence... 

By contrast, ultrasonic probes have the advantage over ultrasonic baths in that they deliver their energy on a localized sample zone, thereby providing more efficient cavitation in the liquid. Also, they are not subjected to any exhaustion restrictions, so they are much more suitable for use in analytical chemistry than are ultrasonic baths. However, probes tend to uncouple as a consequence, cavitation occurs only at the radiating surface and only marginal ultrasound intensity can be detected elsewhere in the surrounding liquid. 

All of the methods which involve radiation force measurement have been extensively used to calibrate diagnostic ultrasound systems with acoustic intensities of only a few milliwatts per square centimeter for which radiation balances are readily applicable. An accuracy of 2% has been quoted and acoustic powers as low as 10 pw have been detected. Less commonly it has been used for therapeutic systems at much higher energy with outputs of the order of several watts, although in this case the accuracy is somewhat lower [17].

Active ultrasound uses a source of sound radiation, which is appHed to a process sample, with a detector placed such that modification to the signal can be detected and related to changes in the sample. Signal attenuation, velocity measurements and wavelength selective absorption provide the means of probing the sample. This approach promises to provide both chemical and physical information but as yet has not been used extensively. A number of on-line polymer-related studies have been reported in which polymer flow behaviour, viscosity, blend characterisation, and foaming-process monitoring have been examined [19]. 

The aim is to measure the amount of cracking between the rebars before it becomes apparent at the surface. It should be noted that this can be a very dynamic situation. Figure 3.4 shows the way that cracks propagate between corroding bars. The horizontal cracks are detected be a hollow sound when the surface is hit with a hammer or a chain dragged across the surface . It can be detected from the effect on its physical properties associated either with the presence of a layer or air in the concrete or the phase change from concrete to are to concrete, when subjected to radiation or ultrasound. 

To overcome the weaknesses of urodynamics in children and the invasiveness and the radiation burden of VCU, several articles have been published recently describing various measurements and calculations in an attempt to detect nonneurogenic bladder-sphincter dysfunction by bladder ultrasound ...
