The two most commonly used types of dosimeters are direct reading dosimeters(DRD) and thermoluminescent dosimeters(TLD).... The DRD allows you to periodically check the amount of radiation you are receiving at any given moment. A quartz fibre within the dosimeter measures the radiation by moving along a scale and provides an indication of your exposure. 5, record 4, English, - direct%20reading%20dosimeter

Flour yield can be calculated as a percentage of clean tempered wheat fed to the first break rolls :(...) This yield value is very important to the miller since it tells him precisely how the mill is performing, and whether any corrections are required. Provided a mill has flour scales(to weigh the finished product) and a wheat scale, the clean tempered wheat yield can be calculated at regular intervals. Most millers keep a close watch on this yield to check if the yield of flour is consistent with a given supply of wheat to the first break rolls. 1, record 5, English, - weight%20of%20clean%20tempered%20wheat

The two most important ways of expressing yield are those based on raw wheat and clean tempered wheat.
