It was attended by 181 participants from 28 countries and 6 international organizations. It was the objective of the Symposium to bring together experts from the various scientific disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and mathematics, and to survey their experience in the assessment of radio­ active body burdens in man and the resultant radiation doses. In most in­ vestigations of internal contamination the errors in the physical measure­ ments are smaller than the errors associated with the interpretation of measurements. For this reason special emphasis was laid in this meeting on the interpretation of measured data. The 67 papers and the discussions which they stimulated are published in these Proceedings produced in two volumes. Volume I includes all papers which deal with problems generally common to many isotopes: in- vivo counting, bioassay techniques, sample counting and analysis of data. Volume II includes those papers concerned with radioisotopes of specific elements: caesium, radium, radon, strontium, tritium, thorium, uranium, plutonium and rare earth elements. These Proceedings should prove invaluable to all radiation protection services entrusted with the physical surveillance of internal radiation ex­ posure of man. They should complement the studies of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and assist the work of the Organizations that jointly organized the meeting. The three Organizations wish to express their appreciation to the Govern­ ment of the Federal Republic of Germany for its generous invitation and to the scientists who contributed the valuable new information. EDITORIAL NOTE The papers and discussions incorporated in the proceedings published by the International Atomic Energy Agency are edited by the Agency's edi­ torial staff to the extent considered necessary for the reader's assistance. The views expressed and the general style adopted remain, however, the responsibility of the named authors or participants. ■ For the sake of speed of publication the present Proceedings have been printed by composition typing and photo-offset lithography. Within the lim i­ tations imposed by this method, every effort has been made to maintain a high editorial standard; in particular, the units and symbols employed are to the fullest practicable extent those standardized or recommended by the competent international scientific bodies. The affiliations of authors are those given at the time of nomination. The use in these Proceedings of particular designations of countries or territories does not imply any judgement by the Agency as to the legal status of such countries or territories, of their authorities and institutions or of the delimitation of their boundaries. The mention of specific companies or of their products or brimd-names does not imply any endorsement or recommendation on the part of the Inter­ national Atomic Energy Agency. CONTENTS OF VOL.

FOCHIN MEDICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL MEDICAL SCHOOL, LONDON, ENGLAND Abstract — Résumé — Аннотация — Resumen FORMULATION OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE RADIATION EXPOSURE OF TISSUES AND THE EXCRETION RATE OF NUCLIDES. The organization of protection against undue occupational exposure to internal radiation involves several processes: 1 1. Decisions as to the highest dose-rates, for the body or for particular'organs-, that can be regarded as permissible; 2. Estimation, for all relevant nuclides, of the intakes, and of the body burdens, which would cause any such dose-rates to be reached or sustained; ' 3. Monitoring of exposed individuals to determine what fraction of a permissible body burden of any nuclide is retained in the body. Techniques of monitoring by whole-body counting, or by data on excretion or exhalation rates, are relevant to the Symposium. Several major problems are involved: (a) For most radionuclides, insufficient metabolic data are available to link tissue dose-rates either with body burdens or with excretion

    Indira Gandhi National Tribal University Amarkantak 484887 (M.P.) Faculty of Technical, Vocational Education & Skill Training Notes B.Voc. theatre, Stagecraft, Film Production & Media Technology Subject : - Basic Audio Video Production Unit 1 What is Cinematography ? Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling. Anyone can set a camera on a tripod and hit record, but the artistry of cinematography comes in controlling what the viewer sees (or doesn’t see) and how the image is presented. Film is a visual me- dium, and the best-shot films are ones where you can tell what’s going on without hearing any of the dialogue. With some basic knowledge of composition and scene construction, you can plan scenes using this visual language. Learn how different shots work together to form a clear, cohesive narrative and how to compose each shot in a way that is visually pleasing for the viewer. Understanding these simple rules will help make your films more thrilling and engaging. Basic Rules of Composition There are some simple cinematography techniques that will have a great impact in making your videos look more professional. The Rule of Thirds is a technique of dividing the frame up into a 3x3 grid, splitting your frame into nine boxes. Our natural impulse is to put our subject dead center, but a centered subject will look like they’re caught in a spotlight, and by dropping them in the center of the frame, it gives them nowhere to go. Instead, by positioning your action in any of the four vertices where those nine boxes meet, you create a balance in your composition that feels more natural.

  • Videography Terminology Continuity
    Videography Terminology Continuity This is an important concept to keep in mind during recording of video/audio and later in post-production. Continuity means that if something is in one position or state-of-being in one shot, it needs to be the same way in the next shot unless it has purposely been changed for storytelling purposes. Some examples of lack of continuity are changes in a subject’s clothing, hair style, body position, or position of objects on the set between two shots that are supposed to be occurring within the same time frame. Another example is when in one shot a subject is traveling in one direction, but in the next shot the movement is in the opposite direction. Continuity changes can also occur with audio if scenes are shot in different locations or at different times but are supposed to be occurring in the same location. Framing Your Shot Rule of thirds: Divide the image in the viewfinder into horizontal and vertical thirds like placing a tic-tac-toe grid over it. Place a key part of the image on one of the intersecting points. This keeps the picture interesting and creates a pleasingly balanced image. Head room: The space between the top of the head and the upper edge of the picture or television screen. Breathing room: The space in front of a person’s face when recorded in profile. Classroom Video Production: Videography Terminology © KET 2015 1 Lead room: The space in front of a moving object or person. Types of Shots Wide shot (WS): A shot taken from a distance to show a landscape, building, or large crowd, such as the view of New York City from the Ellis Island.

  • Camera Angles and Definitions
    Camera Angles and Definitions Framing What’s included and excluded in an individual shot. Extreme wide shot A shot in which figures appear small in the landscape. Often used at the beginning of a film or sequence as an ‘establishing shot’ to show where the action is taking place. Can also be used to make a person appear isolated or small. Wide Shot A shot in which a figure can be seen from head to toe. (tighter than an extreme wide shot) Mid Shot Shows the figure from approximately head to waist. In a mid shot, you can easily recognize an individual but you can also see what they are doing with their hands. Close-up Head and shoulders, enabling you to easily see facial expressions, which gives the audience a better impression of what your characters are thinking and feeling. Extreme close-up From just above the eyebrows to just below the mouth, or even closer: used to emphasize facial expression or to make the subject appear threatening. Over-the-Shoulder Shot A shot in which we see a character or main object over another’s shoulder, often used in interviews or dialogues. Depth of field - This refers to how much of the shot seems to be in focus, in front of and behind the subject. Two Shot Any shot with two people in it. (not necessarily the same person twice as pictured here, unless part of the plot) Point of view shot - A shot from a character’s point of view Reaction shot - A shot showing a character’s expression as they react to something Wide-angle shot (taken with a wide-angle lens) - This has the effect of seeming to exaggerate perspective.
