X-Ray Physics or: How I Came to Stop Worrying and Love the Amersham

چکیده
The bremsstrahlung high-energy cutoff of strontium and yttrium decay processes is determined to be 2306 ± 37 keV. The linear relation of Moseley’s law for X-ray fluorescence is verified using rubidium, molybdenum, silver, barium, and terbium targets. The fluorescent X-ray emission energies of other known targets are also verified to generally within 3 standard errors for under 0.6% relative error. Finally, the metal compositions of an unknown alloy, a Chinese coin, and a modern dollar are tested; the alloy appears to be made primarily of tin and cerium, the coin appears to be made of zinc, silver, and tin, and the dollar seems to have too little metal content to obtain a fluorescence spectrum.

How Useful Are Early Economic Models?; Comment on “Problems and Promises of Health Technologies: The Role of Early Health Economic Modelling”
Early economic modelling has long been recommended to aid research and development (R&D;) decisions in medical innovation, although they are less frequently published and critically appraised. A review of 30 innovations by Grutters et al provides an opportunity to evaluate how early models are used in practice. The evidence of early models can be used to inform two types...

Emotional Regulation, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nucleus Accumbens
How does the brain control emotion? In this issue of Neuron, Wager et al. use a novel mediation analysis of neuroimaging data to show two independent pathways for the control of emotion by the prefrontal cortex: a path through the amygdala predicts a greater negative emotional response, and a path through the nucleus accumbens/ventral striatum predicts a greater positive response.
