Validation of X-Ray Fluorescence-Measured Swine Femur Lead Against Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2001)
The aim of this study was to apply the technique of 109Cd-based K-shell X-ray fluorescence (XRF) bone lead measurements to swine femurs and to validate the concentrations obtained therefrom against an independent chemical ...
Mass and Metallicity of Five X-Ray-bright Galaxy Groups
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
We present ASCA X-ray observations of a sample of Ðve groups selected from a cross-correlation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with the White et al. optical catalog of groups. These X-rayÈbright groups significantly increase ...
Gravitomagnetism and the Clock Effect
(arXiv, 1999)
The main theoretical aspects of gravitomagnetism are reviewed. It is shown that the gravitomagnetic precession of a gyroscope is intimately connected with the special temporal structure around a rotating mass that is ...
Genetically Modified Crops and Household Labor Savings in US Crop Production
(AgBioForum, 2009)
In spite of widespread adoption, there is mixed evidence as to whether adopting genetically modified (GM) crops increases farm welfare. One possible reason for widespread adoption is the labor savings. Using a treatment ...
The Value of a New Biotechnology Considering R&D Investment and Regulatory Issues
(University of Missouri, 2015)
The prevalence of the products of biotechnology in Canada's canola industry is vast. More than 95% of Canada's seeded area is in herbicide-tolerant (HT) varieties, which are products of biotechnology. Overall, the industry ...
Teaching superfluidity at the introductory level
(arXiv, 2008)
Standard introductory modern physics textbooks do not exactly dwell on super-
fluidity in 4He. Typically, Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is mentioned in the context of an ideal Bose gas, followed by the statement that ...
A Fugitive Essence: The Public Radio Legacy of Alec Wilder
(1994-12)
Two central goals have motivated the scholarship contained
in this paper. The first of these is to provide an
account of an obscure series of radio programs produced for
public broadcast in the nineteen-seventies (a ...
Spin, acceleration and gravity
(American Institute of Physics, 2004)
The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler spacetime. We examine critically the ...
Gamma oscillations in the basolateral amygdala : biophysical mechanisms and computational consequences
(Society for Neuroscience, 2019)
The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BL) is thought to support numerous emotional behaviors through specific microcircuits. These are often thought to be comprised of feedforward networks of principal cells (PNs) and ...
