Transition rates were obtained from spectra for pure metallic samples of atomic number ranging from 22 to 27, measured with monochromatic incident X-ray beams from a synchrotron source. The experimental setup for this consisted of an energy dispersive spectrometer in a conventional 45–45 geometry, mounted in an evacuated chamber. Absorption, detector efficiency and multiple scattering were take...

We demonstrate a miniature microfabricated saturated absorption laser spectrometer. The system consists of miniature optics, a microfabricated Rb vapor cell, heaters, and a photodetector, all contained within a volume of 0.1 cm(3). Saturated absorption spectra were measured with a diode laser at 795 nm. They are comparable to signals obtained with standard table-top setups, although the rubidiu...

This study presents a preliminary data of occurrence of elemental concentration in medicinal plants i.e Apium graveolens (seed), Sida cordifolia (root), Solanum surattense (whole plant), Tribulus terrestris(fruit) and Withania somnifera (root) used in Ayurveda, using Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) following standard procedures. The elemental concentration i.e. Mn, Na, K, Cl, Ca, Cr, Co, C...

We find resolved interstellar O K, Ne K, and Fe L absorption spectra in the Chandra Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer spectrum of the low mass X-ray binary X0614+091. We measure the column densities in O and Ne, and find direct spectroscopic constraints on the chemical state of the interstellar O. These measurements probably probe a low-density line of sight through the Galaxy and we...

An interface is described to convert analogue data from the recorder or other output of a typical analytical spectrometer, or other instrument, to an amplified form suitable for feeding to the ADC of a microcomputer (BBC B+). The interface is simple and easy to construct, avoids complicated software, and can be used for a variety of applications. Excellent linearity was observed in transformed ...

Material and methods Eight genotypes of 4 most common SNPs localised in GPX1, GPX4, TXNRD2 and SEP15 were selected. Genotyping was performed in 93 affected and 186 unaffected matched BRCA1 carriers as well as on pairs matched 1:1 consisting of 108 breast, 50 ovarian and 105 prostate consecutive cancer patients and healthy controls. The following techniques for laboratory analyses have been appl...

steel slags are the by products of steel industries, which forms during reduction process of iron melting. the chemical composition of it changes depending to the melting procedure. its mineralogical composition also varies based on the cooling procedure. two different types of steel slag were used as absorbing bed for various concentrations of pb2+ ions in the form of lead chloride, and the co...
