“…In the work context, appearance has often been analyzed as a form of aesthetic labor, but it is also a way through which gender boundaries are constructed. The way people dress is often a central part of doing a job (Chugh and Hancock, 2009; Rafaeli and Pratt, 1993; Schreuder, 1994). If one works, for instance, in the City of London, wearing a suit is part of creating a professional appearance (Waring and Waring, 2009).…”

The article uses media images of businesswomen to explore how Master of Business Administration students position themselves in relation to the businesswomen. Following feminist media studies, the article argues that subjects are "becoming" through media images. In order to explore subject formation processes through images, a business school setting, as a place that develops future leaders and that is dominated by men and masculinity, was chosen. The analysis of the interviews indicates that Master of Business Administration students position themselves in relation to the images of businesswomen by commenting on the appropriateness of dress based on the industry and by discussing that being sexually attractive is deemed unprofessional for women. While the subject positions that the Master of Business Administration students occupied were rather normative in nature, the article argues that images can be used as a helpful tool to allow reflection on normativity in relation to gender in leadership development. It is thereby possible to think about a displacement of norms by facilitating the use of alternative subject positions.

“…A fluence-weighted average energy of 30.8 MeV has been determined for the therapy beam (Jones et al 1992) with full build-up in A-150 plastic being achieved at ahout 17 mm (Schreuder 1994). Build-up caps of wall thickness 16 mm were manufactured from A-150 plastic, nylon (type 6) and polyethylene to fit over the aluminium shell housing the TEPC.…”

The evaluation of nylon and polyethylene as build-up material in a neutron therapy beam

In high-energy neutron beams a substantial amount of build-up material is required to irradiate biological samples under conditions of charged particle equilibrium. Ideally A-150 tissue-equivalent plastic is used for this purpose. This material is however not always readily available and hence the need for a substitute compound. The selected hydrocarbon should satisfy two requirements: the quality of the radiation on the distal side needs to be the same as that measured for A-150 plastic and the absorbed dose should remain consistent. A tissue-equivalent proportional counter operating at reduced pressure not only measures the absorbed dose accurately but provides a means for assessing the nature of a radiation field in terms of a secondary charged particle spectrum. Using build-up caps manufactured from nylon (type 6) and polyethylene, it is shown that the former is an acceptable substitute for A-150 plastic. The data further demonstrate that both the absorbed dose and the spectral character of the measured single-event distribution are altered when polyethylene is used and that these discrepancies are attributable to the higher hydrogen content of polyethylene.
