About development of expert possibilities for consideration of equipment projects and technological decisions by D. J. Lobach

“…The purpose of the research described in the article is to formulate and substantiate the methodology for analyzing quantitative patterns of parameters of projects, devices, systems and technologies, that can be used for relative or rating comparison of projected, planned or applied investigated objects without using long-term experimental or operational data.The proposed approach to the analysis of quantitative patterns makes it possible to conduct a primary assessment of the advantages of innovative technologies, acomparative assessment of the safety of technical complexes, a targeted pre-operational assessment of equipment parameters, and to form planned distinctive parameters for the implementation of experimental and commercial technical projects.…”

A Drone-Based Approach for Radiometric Mapping of Gamma Radiation by Felipe Mamed, Alessandra Vaz, Ary Machado, Joana Batista, Jonathan Oliveira, Paulo Silveira, Paulo Iack, Paulo Barreto, William Henrique, Wallace Vallory

“…After processing the data collected by the drone, a dose profile was reconstructed, allowing for a satisfactory estimation of the location where the Cesium-137 source was positioned based on the radiation peak. Since specific patterns in the graphs, such as a sudden increase in dose rate in a particular direction, can indicate the presence of a source, we consider that this method can be employed as a useful strategy for the remote detection of radiation sources in various environments, offering a satisfactory approximation of the radiological conditions present in the analyzed environment. …”
