—The paper summarizes the results of studies by the authors of the gas-discharge method for the fast remote registration of alpha and beta radioactive contaminants on the surfaces of a complex profile and in limited volumes of workplaces of radiation-hazardous objects. Specific features of technical solutions ensuring the detection stability of alpha and beta radiation with the help of a gas-discharge counter open to the air are considered. The design variants and main characteristics of search devices are given that allowing quickly (less than 3 seconds) detecting spot and distributed alpha-radioactive contamination at distances of about 50 cm. The design and operation modes of the portal pedestrian radiation monitor recording small alpha and beta radioactive contamination on clothes and open parts of a person's body are shown.

: Living tissues are highly heterogeneous, with very specific properties; and in order to determine the interactions between electromagnetic fields generated by different sources to which we are exposed, it is imperative to be able to calculate the induced electromagnetic currents and to find out the resulting reactions. To apprehend the field nuisance on people’s health, this paper highlights some of these effects from a simulation study of biological tissues (muscle sample) subjected to the electromagnetic field created by a 440 kV HV line. Induced currents in these tissues and their effects on blood microcirculation will be emphasized.

— Legislative and regulatory reforms in the telecommunications sector of Pacific Small Island Developing States (“SIDS”) stands out from the wider Asia Pacific region. Samoa was the first of the Pacific SIDS to undergo telecommunications reform. With the enactment of Samoa’s first Competition and Consumer Act (2016) (“the Act”), this article presents our preliminary findings from initial evidence exploring the interface between competition law and telecommunications reform in Samoa, following commencement of the Act in 2017, effectively repealing the Fair Trading Act 1998 and the Consumer Information Act 1989. It also seeks to understand the effective approaches to help redress regulatory and legislative compliance issues in the telecommunications sector. Key lessons from this research will be pivotal for the Telecommunications and Competition law makers in both Samoa and the Pacific SIDS. Research in this area will further address this gap in the literature and present credible evidence to build up a knowledge base about the role of competition law in Samoa telecommunications reform whilst contributing to the discourse of competition law and telecommunications reform in the Pacific SIDS region.

The phenomenon of eutrophication of water bodies and specially the lakes, demand the proper investigation of the physical, chemical and biological factors that influence these ecosystems. The aim of this study is to construct a fuzzy logic system with the most suitable fuzzy decision rules in order to predict the ecological state of our study case.

The objective of this study was to select the best fly ash material which can replace river bed sand to fill underground coal mine voids. To achieve the objectives, this study examined the suitability of seven numbers of Indian fly ashes for filling in the underground coal mine voids based on their physicochemical, morphological and mineralogical characteristics. The physical properties such as bulk density, specific gravity, particle size distribution, specific surface area, porosity, moisture content, pH etc. have been determined. The chemical and mineralogical properties were also determined in the laboratory by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) studies. From the chemical characterization it is found that the fly ash samples are enriched predominantly with silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and iron oxides (Fe2O3) along with a little amount of CaO and all the seven fly ash samples tested fall under the class F fly ash category. In addition to these, the fly ash samples also contain some trace elements in negligible amount. The mineral phases identified in the fly ash samples are quartz, mullite, magnetite, and hematite. The particle morphological analysis revealed that the fly ash particles are almost spherical in shape which would favor hydraulic pipeline transport to mine void filling areas. From the particle size and shape point of view the fly ashes tested may be considered as an alternative to conventional mine void filling material. Keywords— Fly ash, material characterization, mine void filling, specific gravity, density
