Marker studies of nickel silicide formation
… silicon has been investigated using 31Si radioactive tracer and inert marker techniques. Samples were prepared by vacuum deposition of thin films of nickel and silicon, followed by thermal annealing to effect silicide growth. The radioactive tracer investigation of Ni2Si showed nickel to …

Determinação experimental do coeficiente de reaeração, em rios e canais abertos, com o emprego de traçadores
… is determined experimentally using Tsivoglou's radioactive tracer method. The technique employed involves the use of an inert radioactive gas, Kr-85, as a tracer for oxygen, tritiated water, HTO, to correct for dispersion and dilution of tracer, and a fluorescent tracer, Amidorodamina G.E., with …

Modelagem hidrodinâmica de decantador primário de esgotos utilizando-se a técnica de traçadores
… evaluation of parameters obtained by the use of tracers. The technique employed in obtaining the data consisted in the injection of radioactive tracer (Brome-82) as well as fluorescent tracers (Amidorodamine G-Extra, Rodamine B, Eosine and Uranine). The experimental results were compared with the …

Functional lung imaging in humans using Positron Emission Tomography
… Emission Tomography (PET). In this technique, a radioactive tracer, nitrogen-13, is dissolved in saline solution, and injected into a peripheral vein. By analysis of the tracer kinetics through the lung, measured using PET, a three-dimensional image of perfusion and ventilation can be generated. …
