The nine already established lithological scored units of Area-2 have been separately characterized for the HP parameter. The Concentration-number (C-N) model and the log-log plots associated with fractal technique are proposed and applied as a new approach to map the measured equivalent uranium (eU), the equivalent thorium (eTh), and potassium (K%) and the computed HP of Area-2. The HP of Area-2 varies between a minimum of 0.06 and a maximum of 4.28 &#956;w/m3 with an average of 0.548 &#956;w/m3 and a standard deviation of 0.27&#956;w/m3. The highest observed HP values are related to the phosphatic environments represented by two lithological scored units A and B.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen En este estudio se utilizó la técnica de espectometría de rayos gamma para evaluar la producción de calor radiactivo (HP, por sus siglas en inglés) del área de Ar-Rassafeh Badyieh (Área-2), en Siria. Las nueve unidades establecidas, puntuadas con anterioridad, para el Área-2 se caracterizaron por separado para el parámetro HP. Como parte de un nuevo emfoque, se propone aplicar el modelo de número de concentración (CN) y los gráficos log-log asociados con la técnica fractal para mapear el equivalente medido de uranio (eU, por sus siglas en inglés), el torio equivalente (eTh, por sus siglas en inglés) y el potasio, (K%) además del HP calculado del Área-2. El HP del Área-2 varía entre un mínimo de 0.06 y un máximo de 4.28 &#956;w/m3 con un promedio de 0.548 &#956;w/m3 y una desviación estándar de 0.27&#956;w/m3. Los valores de HP más altos observados están relacionados con los ambientes fosfatados representados por dos unidades puntuadas litológicas A y B.]]></p></abstract>
