AI Article Synopsis
- An internal consistency test was conducted to evaluate the calculation of coincidence-summing correction factors F for volume sources, using exact equations from three ideal measurement configurations.
- The test was performed on 33 sets of F values submitted by 21 different teams, with most sets passing the evaluation.
- However, the results from the quasi-point source approximation did not pass, revealing a qualitative indication of bias in the calculated values of F.
Article Abstract
An internal consistency test of the calculation of coincidence-summing correction factors F for volume sources is presented. The test is based on exact equations relating the values of F calculated for three ideal measurement configurations. The test is applied to a number of 33 sets of F values sent by 21 teams. Most sets passed the test, but not the results obtained using the quasi-point source approximation; in the latter case the test qualitatively indicated the magnitude of the bias of F.

Dealing with radioactive waste, particularly from various industrial processes, poses significant challenges. This paper explores the use of lithium aluminate borate (Li-Al-B) glass matrix as an alternative method for immobilizing radioactive waste, focusing specifically on waste generated in tin smelting industries, known as tin slag. The study primarily concentrates on transforming tin slag, a byproduct abundant in Natural Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM), into a stable and safe form for disposal.

Background: With the increasing implementation of patient online record access (ORA), various approaches to access to minors' electronic health records have been adopted globally. In Sweden, the current regulatory framework restricts ORA for minors and their guardians when the minor is aged between 13 and 15 years. Families of adolescents with complex health care needs often desire health information to manage their child's care and involve them in their care.
