Measurements with TRACER: Discussion of Results and Future Prospects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The individual energy spectra and relative abundances measured with TRACER, are compared with previous measurements in space and balloons, and with interpretations of air shower data. From the individual spectral slopes, we discuss constraints on models of cosmic-ray propagation through the galaxy. We also discuss the extrapolated high-energy abundances of the elements at the cosmic ray sources. The TRACER instrument is currently being refurbished for a second long duration balloon flight. The dynamic range of the measurement will then be extended to include the lighter cosmic ray nuclei, down to boron (Z = 5).

متن کاملSmall Hydro-Power Plants in Kenya: A Review of Status, Challenges and Future Prospects
Small Hydro-power Plants (SHP) are an important source of electricity in many countries. However, little is known about SHP in Kenya. This paper reviews the status, challenges in implementation of SHP and prospects for future development of SHP in Kenya. The paper shows that SHP has not yet fully utilized the available hydro-power potential. The challenges associated with SHP development should...
متن کاملCosmic ray nuclei at high energies: recent results from TRACER and future prospects
The first balloon flight of the TRACER instrument in 1999 led to a new measurement of the energy spectra of cosmic ray nuclei from Z=8 to Z=26 at energies from a few GeV/nucleon to several TeV/nucleon. We will present and discuss the results, compare them with other recent measurements and examine the implications for current cosmic ray propagation and acceleration models. Finally, we will comm...

17a-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17aP) hormone is a precursor of other steroid hormones and radioimmunoassay has already been used to measure it, but a simple and rapid "Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay" (ELISA) is described and validated here. A general procedure for prepara-tion of the acetylcholinesterase labelled steroid is described, which is applicable to any steroid. Use of acetyl...
