Six plutonium-containing particles stemming from Runit Island soil (Marshall Islands) were characterized by non-destructive analytical and microanalytical methods. Composition and elemental distribution in the particles were studied with synchrotron radiation based micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray detector and with wavelength

We have investigated the oxidation/reduction behaviour of dome-shaped three-dimensional islands of Ge on Si(001) grown by UHV-CVD at 620°C. The oxidation was done by exposing the surfaces to a steam of H2O in N2. The reduction was done in H2, which at T

Focusing on the case of Tanzania, this study highlights the role of religious institutions in building national unity and consolidating democracy in the multi-religious contexts of Sub-Saharan Africa. In recent years cooperation along inter- and intra-religious lines has been strongly encouraged as a way of coping with tensions evident in the society. The case of the Inter-Religious Council for Pe

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on the working postures and movements of a cashier when two different locations of the scales (one to the left of the cashier, the other under the conveyer belt in front of the cashier) were used in a grocery checkout system. Two cashiers (of average stature and short stature) were videotaped while working, in both sitting and standing working posi

Design aesthetics concerns the study of the way the features of a product are perceived by an observer. This paper shows that the moment of perception can be advantageously described with the help of results from affective neuroscience. It also shows, among other things, that the affective state of an individual is always prior to a later, slower, conscious cognition, and that it influences judgme

Decision analysis concerned with investments in fire safety is discussed. Particular attention is directed at the treatment of uncertainty, the evaluation of consequences, and the choice of a decision rule for use in this context. An approach involving use of a decision rule based on the principle of maximizing expected utility, together with a complementary evaluation of the decision alternatives
