  • Evolution of a Hand-Held Device for Homeland
    EVOLUTION OF A HAND- HELD DEVICE FOR HOMELAND SECURITY PURPOSES Presented at INMM 46, 2005, Paper 251 Markku Koskelo, William R Russ and Stephen Croft Canberra Industries, Inc. 800 Research Parkway Meriden, CT 06450, USA. Regis Lacher Canberra Aquila, Inc. 8401 Washington Place NE Albuquerque, NM 87113, USA. ABSTRACT Over the course of the last two and a half years, Canberra has designed and launched a Hand-Held Radioisotope Identification Device (HHRIID) called InSpector 1000 for use in many fields. The primary requirements (usability, reliability, portability) were taken into account with the intent of addressing the specific needs of field health physics applications. In an effort to address the growing need of Homeland Security type applications for specialized instrumentation, Canberra has already made several improvements to the original design and a further effort to “ruggedize” the instrument for harsh environments is underway. This paper describes Canberra’s development activities of the “Ruggedized” InSpector 1000 to date and the results obtained with the prototypes so far. 1. Introduction Many of the current handheld radionuclide identification devices were originally designed to meet the 1989 version of ANSI standard N42.17A1. It was expedient to use them in Homeland Security applications because they were available. Canberra’s InSpector 1000 was originally designed to meet the same standard as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommendation for HHRIID. In 2003, ANSI published a new standard, ANSI N42.342 specifying the performance requirements for radionuclide identifying devices used in Homeland Security. The release of this standard has led to the commencement of new initiatives to modify existing radionuclide identification devices to comply with its specifications.

Whereas no one can doubt the best intentions of the translator and the publishers in making this title accessible to an English speaking audience, the editing and digitization process of this book (carried out by the DILP Team) has revealed issues in the quality of translation. Based upon this fact, the DILP team has taken the liberty to make grammatical corrections to make the text more readable and less ambiguous; spelling mistakes and typographical errors have also been corrected and an attempt has been made to improve the highly non-standard use of transliteration of Arabic names and terms.

  • Tracey Emin's Interest in Mysticism Renee Vara March 1, 2002
    Fine Arts March 2002 Tracey Emin's Interest in Mysticism Renee Vara March 1, 2002 The only thing I am, really-well read in… is mysticism: moving into other dimensions through the understanding of time and space, whether its levitation or astral projection. It's the only thing I have ever studied with any interest… -Tracey Emin, 1997 She is the messenger and her medium is herself: the biographical details of her working class background, her experiences as a sick child, her fear of ghosts, her musings over love, and her triumph as one of the most recognized artists in England. Tracey Emin's celebrity now reaches outside the inbred world of the Young British Artist phenomenon. Since her achievement of being short-listed for the 1999 Turner Prize, Emin has found an audience that transcends art world boundaries. Even as she utilizes the highly personal and private voice of a contemporary female artist in much of her work, Emin elsewhere appropriates the decidedly feminine performance strategies of the Victorian clairvoyant, who was permitted to transgress the gender boundaries of English society by ‘being a lady.’ Manifested in all its rules of propriety, being a lady was a persona characterized by personal passivity and formalized rituals of interpersonal decorum. Acting as such, Emin is able to ‘channel’ the power of a female voice to create a unified oeuvre – using her interest in late 19th and early 20th century manifestations of the paranormal to define a universal, and gender-less, soul. Emin’s performance of esoteric rituals, and their incorporation into a complex media matrix, reflects the philosophical theories and thoughts historically associated with mysticism.
