Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract A formula is proposed for assessing the sensitivity of radioisotope γ-albedo analysis of quasi-binary media, such as coal. The sensitivity is investigated as a function of the γ energy and the composition of the quasi-binary medium. A model is outlined for optimizing the parameters of the method so as to minimize the errors.
