“…Those electrons when leaving the nucleus produced gamma rays; either those electrons permutated to be gamma ray's energy or fresh gamma rays could be produced. Hence, many scientists discovered terrestrial gamma-ray flashes in the air [Doğru et al, 2005;Dwyer & Smith, 2012] when electrons are also present. The authors have graphically illustrated the above proposed gamma-ray flashes production mechanism in Figure 3.…”

Oxygen has been shown able to be released from aqueous water when the water flows through magnetic fields. Such a production process is called magneto synthesis and it is successful when the principle of induced current took place. Oxygen produced from this newly discovered process possessed properties differently when compared to the photosynthesis process. This study can be made when the magneto synthesis process was carried out closed to the saturation point of oxygen dissolution equilibrium in aqueous water. At the saturation point, the exchange of oxygen atoms or molecules between these two processes has happened. This interchange state allowed a unique single steep-drop characteristic to be observed. The single steep-drop characteristic of the magneto synthesis process provides two pieces of evidence on the properties of oxygen; they are heavier by mass and higher by oxidative power. The unique properties as discovered are supported by Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory. In this matter, gamma-ray flashes are thought to produce when the hydrogen-electron pairs are formed. A mechanism where gamma-ray flashes could be produced was proposed and sufficient evidence for gamma-ray flashes to occur was outlined. The gamma-ray flashes are the clue in the inter-permutable between the mass and energy. This is the clue to let the special relativity theory take a place.

“…Taking into account that radon varies depending on the porosity of the walls and the ventilation habits inside a building, there is a heterogeneous distribution in constructed homes that is difficult to theorize. Because of these fluctuations, it is not advisable to perform rapid radon measurements to obtain reliable data and to know whether it is necessary to implement anti-radon solutions [5,23].…”

An Internet of Thing Architecture Based on Message Queuing Telemetry Transport Protocol and Node-RED: A Case Study for Monitoring Radon Gas

This work aims to monitor air quality in places where humans spend most of their time, such as workplaces and homes. Radon gas is a naturally occurring, colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that accumulates in enclosed spaces. It is a radioactive element produced by the decay of its natural parent elements, uranium and thorium, which is harmful to our respiratory system when inhaled. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the key to the problems of contemporary life; we are witnessing an emerging connected world, and these architectures have the potential by using sensors to take data from the physical world, transfer it over the network and store it for further decision making or action. The proposal of this work is based on a radon sensor connected to an IoT device, the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol (MQTT), the Node-RED for managing data flows and a database management system on a web server. The information collected by the sensor is sent by the IoT device to be processed by Node-RED. The obtained data is stored in a database to be represented on a web server. Therefore, this work includes a case study where the technologies involved in the indoor radon gas monitoring system are presented. It is a way to perform radon gas measurements automatically. The final application would allow: displaying radon concentrations on a map with placemarks and updating the information in real-time. The database could record data from other radon sensors that any user wants to associate with this website.

Bu çalışmada amaç, Kahramanmaraş il sınırları içerisinden geçen Doğu Anadolu Fayının segmenti olan Gölbaşı-Türkoğlu üzerinde gama radyasyon doz hızını belirlemektir. İlaveten, söz konusu fay segmenti civarında yaşayan yekişkin insanlar için yıllık efektif doz eşdeğeri (YEDE) ve yaşam boyu kanser riski (YBKR) değerlerini hesaplamaktır. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda, fay segmenti üzerinde ölçüm alınacak lokasyonlar belirlenmiştir. Bu lokasyonların dış mekanlarında taşınabilir cihaz olan ASP2e kullanılarak direkt gama doz hızı ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Ölçülen gama doz hızı değerlerinin ortalaması 93,64 nGy/h olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, istasyon bölgelerinde yaşayan yetişkin insanlar için ortalamaYEDE ve YBKR, sırasıyla 0,11 mSv/y ve 0,40×10-3 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Mevcut çalışma kapsamında hesaplanan ortalama gama doz hızı, YEDE ve YBKR uluslararası kuruluşlar tarafından önerilen sınır değerlerin üzerindedir.
