| Abstract | The highly radiotoxic /sup 90/Sr cannot be determined by /spl gamma/-spectrometry as /sup 90/Sr and its daughter /sup 90/Y are both pure /spl beta/-emitters. Cherenkov radiation of the relatively high energy /spl beta/-particles from /sup 90/Y (E/sub /spl beta///sup max/=2.27 MeV) allows for discrimination or at least for strong suppression of the lower energy /spl beta/-emitters. The contribution of both may then be determined from /sup 90/Y if their ratio is known. Measurements of efficiencies with a silica aerogel radiator (n=1.055), show a steep dependence on the /spl beta/ end-point energy above threshold (E/sub /spl beta///sup th/=1.09 MeV). Possible contributions from /spl beta/-emitters other than /sup 90/Y in the sample may be detected by the shape of the pulse height spectrum. Using a multiwire proportional chamber in coincidence and plastic scintillation counters in anticoincidence reduces the background, so environmental activities down to about 1 Bq of /sup 90/Sr//sup 90/Y may be detected in a few hours of measurement of a thin sample (air filter or sediment). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
