In this study the most stable isobar for some isobaric families (light and intermediate ) nuclei with mass number (A) equals to (15-30) & (101- 115) have been determined. This determination of stable nuclide can help to determine the suitable nuclide, which can be used in different fields. Most stable isobar can be determined by two means. First: plot mass parabolas (plotting the binding energy (B.E) as a function of the atomic number (Z)) for these isobaric families, in this method most stable isobars represent the lowest point in mass parabola (the nuclide with the highest value of binding energy). Second: calculated the atomic number for most stable isobar (ZA) value. Our results show that there is only one stable nuclide for isobars with odd mass number (A) (one mass parabolas), while for nuclides with an even mass number (A) there is more than one stable nuclide (two mass parabola). Also, our results show that nuclides representing the most stable isobars in the two methods, which used in this study practically, are the same nuclide.

In this work, a study of the relationship of the decay mode (alpha and beta) emission and the deformed shape of even-even nuclei in uranium -238 and thorium -232 series is presented. To achieve our purpose the quadrupole deformation parameter (β2) (which refers to the shape of nuclei) and eccentricity (e) (represented the radioactivity) have been compute for each nuclei which decay by (alpha or beta) particles emission in each series. The results of deformation parameter show that the deformation on the shape of nuclei (near from spherical shape) for nuclei which decay by beta particles emission is lower than the deformation on the shape of the nuclei which decay by alpha particles emission for two series. In addition, we shows that the effected of deformation parameter greeter than the effected of eccentricity by the type of decay (alpha & beta) emission. Finally, an empirical equation has been extracted from plotting deformation parameter as a function to eccentricity, which can be used to calculate the defamation parameter for any nuclei has eccentricity value.

In this work, the electric quadrupole moment (Qo) and deformation parameter (β2) have been studied for 38Sr isotopes which has neutron magic number (N=50). The aim of this work is to study the effect of electric quadrupole moment (charge distribution) on the deformation of the nucleus by calculating the deformation parameter depending on the value of electric quadrupole moment. Also electric quadrupole moment (Qo) and deformation parameter (β2) have been plotted as a function to neutron number to study the effect of neutron magic number (N=50) on them. The results show that the shapes of nuclei approach to spherical shape due to its charge distribution when the nuclei be closer to the neutrons magic number.

The aim of this work is to learn the relationship of the stability of (β) emitter isobars with their shape for some isobaric elements with even mass number (A=152 - 162). To reach this goal firstly the most stable isobar have been determined by plotting mass parabola (plotting the binding energy (B.E) as a function of the atomic number (Z)) for each isobaric family. Then three-dimensional representation graphics for each nucleus in these isobaric families have been plotted to illustrate the deformation in the shape of a nucleus. These three-dimensional representation graphics prepared by calculating the values of semi-axis minor (a), major (b) and (c) ellipsoid axis’s. Our results show that the shape of nuclides which is represented the most stable isobar in mass parabola are not spherical but they have some deformation in their shape, and need to emit a gamma ray to a chive more stable status and get spherical shape. The stable nuclides, which are determined from mass parabola, are different from the nuclides, which have less value of deformation.

Nowadays, the field of radionuclide treatment is enjoying an exciting stage and preparing for further growth and progress in the future. For instance, in Asia, the large spread of liver and thyroid diseases has resulted in several new developments/clinical trials using molecular radiotherapy (i.e. targeted radionuclide therapy). Iodine-124 has unique physical properties including long half-life that adding an advantage for pharmacokinetics and radiopharmaceutical analysis. One of its applications in nuclear medicine is in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The aim of the present work is to evaluate the production yield of 124I via calculated the excitation functions/stopping power for the reactionsnatTe(P, X)124I, 121 Sb(A, N)124I,natSb(A, X)124I and 123Sb(A,3N)124I in the energy range ( 3.87-62.95)MeV by using Mat-lab and SRIM programs.

This study aims to determine most stable isobar from some isobaric elements with mass number (A= 50-65 & 180-195). This aim achieved by, firstly: plot mass parabolas for these isobaric family, second: calculated the atomic number for most stable isobar (ZA) value. To plot the mass parabola, the binding energy (B.E) calculated from semi empirical formula for these isobars. The mass number (A) plotted as a function to the (ZA) for each range; we get a linear relationship between them. An empirical formula for the most stable isobar has been developed from this linear dependence. From the results, we can see that mass parabolas for isobaric elements with odd mass number (A) are different from the mass parabolas of even mass number (A) isobars, so there is only one stable nuclides for odd (A) while for even (A) there is more than one stable nuclide.

Atmospheric particles (total suspended particles, TSPs) mass samples (288) were collected by high volume samplers at nine sampling locations in Faisalabad, Pakistan from May 2012 to April 2013. These TSP mass samples were subjected to gravimetric and quantitative chemical analyses for determining trace elements (Pb, Cd, Ni, Zn, Cu, Fe) using atomic absorption spectroscopy and water-soluble cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+and K+, NH4+) and anions (Cl−, SO42−, and NO3−) by ion chromatography. The average TSP mass and elemental concentrations at all locations were found to be highest during the dry and lowest during the wet season. The crustal elements Ca, Fe, Mg, and Na were the largest contributors to TSP mass while elements of anthropogenic origin Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, and Zn had relatively lower concentrations and also showing a high spatial variation. The concentration of TSP and elements exhibited the maxima at the sampling locations characterized by intensive industrial and vehicular activities. The wind rose analysis and the UNMIX model applied to chemical speciation data both identified the same three primary sources of TSP: power plant/refinery, brick kilns, and roadways. The normalized dot product was successfully used to quantify the similarity between different source profiles extracted from UNMIX model. The coupling of UNMIX with wind direction analysis complemented each other and provided a complete assessment of source contributions and locations.

The most of the studies on disturbance rejection are covered with robust control methods, where this paper suggests a narrowed but a more simplified linear model based technique to assess the robustness of the controllers. In this paper presented, the problems originated from the disturbances are aimed to be obtained as far in advance as possible. The method used in this work reduces the iterative fine tuning time course between the non-linear simulation and the linear model;hence it enhances the authority over the design process and the designer's comprehension of the true linear model.
