    Abstract: Mechanical, acoustical, and neurophysiological investigations in music, acoustics, and auditory perception repose on the Pythagorean string ratio theory of musical pitch intervals (6th century B.C). Recently, the mechanical validity of the string ratio theory and its psychological import have been challenged and denied on grounds of invariance. In ... Show More

    Abstract: A radiation dosimeter is a device that measures exposure to ionizing radiation. It is used for human radiation protection as a measurement of dose in both medical and industrial processes. This study aimed to identify and highlight the new technology in the types of radiation dosimeters. The study comprises a personal selection of recent reports fr... Show More

    Abstract: Description of mathematical model for the fringe fields in photo detectors based on microchannel plates (MCP) is given. Normally the fringe field calculation requires complex and time-consuming computations using three-dimensional commercial codes. The original semi-analytic model suggested in the paper. This model is based on the mapping procedure... Show More
