Overview

About

Maintained by Mark HogueCRAN page ↗

Estimate ideal efficiencies of aerosol sampling through sample lines. Functions were developed consistent with the approach described in Hogue, Mark; Thompson, Martha; Farfan, Eduardo; Hadlock, Dennis, (2014), "Hand Calculations for Transport of Radioactive Aerosols through Sampling Systems" Health Phys 106, 5, S78-S87, doi:10.1097/HP.0000000000000092.

Changes in 0.3.0

***2025-12-10*** Removed the McFarland bend method and made Zhang the default. This is because the McFarland model only worked with certain parameters before division by very low numbers occurred, causing a crash of the function. There were no parameter boundaries suggesting where the trouble might occur or when invalid results would occur that did not crash. Zhang was selected as the default because the only other alternative, Pui, is based on old studies in small glass tubes. So Pui is not relevant to modern radioactive particulate sampling, but is kept in the package because of ongoing use in some effluent sampling calculations.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("AeroSampleR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-aerosampler

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-AeroSampleR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-AeroSampleR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
