DETECTOR RESOLUTION Resolution is a measure of the width (full width half max) of a single energy peak at a specific energy, either expressed in absolute keV (as with Germanium Detectors), or as a percentage of the energy at that point (Sodium Iodide Detectors). Better (lower FWHM value) resolution enables the system to more clearly separate the peaks within a spectrum. Figure 1.2 shows two spe...

We report the sum frequency generation (SFG) spectra of aqueous sodium iodide interfaces computed with the methodology outlined by Morita and Hynes (J. Phys. Chem. B 2002, 106, 673), which is based on molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated spectra are in qualitative agreement with experiment. Our simulations show that the addition of sodium iodide to water leads to an increase in SFG in...

Air-aqueous sodium halide solution interfaces are examined using vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy. Raman and ATR-FTIR (attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopies are also used to compare the effects of halide anions on the water structure of the bulk solution to that of the interface. The interfacial water structures for the sodium fluoride and chlor...

A large number of the presently running neutrino and dark-matter experiments use thallium-doped cesium-iodide CsI[Tl] crystals, sodium-doped CsI[Na] or sodium-iodide NaI[Tl] crystals. In present paper we calculate elastic inelastic cross sections for neutral-current supernova-neutrino scattering off $^{127}\mathrm{I}$ $^{133}\mathrm{Cs}$, relevant using CsI[Tl], CsI[Na], We study also folded wi...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of topical treatment of 12 episodes of severe life threatening haemoptysis from a pulmonary aspergilloma in 11 patients is reviewed. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on five white and six African-American patients of mean age 49 years. The underlying diseases were bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, or histoplasmosis. The patients were prospectively ...

2.1 Relationship between Oxidizing Power of Chlorine and Sodium Hypochlorite Many consumers are currently replacing chlorine with sodium hypochlorite as the oxidizing agent. In order to calculate how much sodium hypochlorite is required to replace the oxidizing power of chlorine, the following example is provided. If sodium hypochlorite is used to oxidize iodide in a solution of acetic acid, th...
