Photographic response to x-ray irradiation. III: Photographic linearization of beam-foil spectra.
In this paper models for the relation of specular density to incident (x-ray) intensity with uncertainties are applied to experimental data, indicating methods for the correction of additional effects. Linearization and error calculations are simplified by double linear interpolation, and the effect of this is quantified. Relative first-order intensities are determined directly. Secondary linea...
متن کاملThe r-Process and Chronometers
We have been examining the abundance distributions in metal-poor Galactic halo stars trying to identify, and understand, the signatures of the slowand rapid-neutron capture processes (i.e., the sand the r-process). Detailed studies have been made of the stars CS 22892–052 [1, 2] and HD 115444 [3]. In our latest work we have added to this list the metal-poor ([Fe/H] = –2.0) halo star BD +17◦3248...
متن کاملPhotographic response to x-ray irradiation. I: Estimation of the photographic error statistic and development of analytic density-intensity equations.
Formulations for specular optical density as a function of incident x-ray intensity are shown to be inadequate, theoretically and compared with available data. Approximations assuming low intensities, grain densities, or energies yield significant error in typical emulsions. Unjustifiable simplifications limit analysis and consequent results. The avoidance of assumptions leads to models for rou...
متن کاملBrown Dwarfs as Galactic Chronometers
Brown dwarfs are natural clocks, cooling and dimming over time due to insufficient core fusion. They are also numerous and present in nearly all Galactic environments, making them potentially useful chronometers for a variety of Galactic studies. For this potential to be realized, however, precise and accurate ages for individual sources are required, a prospect made difficult by the complex at...
متن کاملUncompensated Care: Hospitals' Responses To
This DataWatch examines the impact of hospital competition, the Medicare prospective payment system (PPS), and Medi-Cal selective contracting on the provision of uncompensated care by private hospitals in California during 1980-1989. It finds that hospitals subject to more intense competition and greater f iscal pressure f rom Medicare and Medi-Cal reduced their provision of uncompensated care ...
