The metal vacuum envelope is grounded and can be made quite thick. Even radiation-tight designs are feasible. The tube ean be shipped ready-to-use with a bonded cable. 

Sources of radiation are all of lower than ideal intensity. One of the most commonly used is a mercury discharge in a quartz envelope, most of the higher-wavenumber radiation coming from the quartz rather than from the discharge plasma. 

In the presented work an algorithm for the primary radiation filter optimization has been developed and realized in the Mathcad envelope which provides a minimal detection limit of a critical element both at the given X-ray tube power and at the given maximal acceptable count rate. 

Outdoor air is generally less polluted than the system return air. However, problems with reentry of previously exhausted air occur as a result of improperly located exhaust and intake vents or periodic changes in wind conditions. Other outdoor contamination problems include contaminants from other industrial sources, power plants, motor vehicle exhaust, and dust, asphalt vapors, and solvents from construction or renovation. Also, heat gains and losses through the building envelope due to heat conduction through exterior walls, floor, and roof, and due to solar radiation and infiltration, can be attributed to effects from external sources.

Solar radiation may fall on outside walls or roofs, raising the skin temperature, and this must he taken into account. Most cold stores are huilt within an outer envelope which protects them from the elements and from direct sunshine. In cases where the insulation itself is subject to solar radiation, an allowance of 5 K higher outside temperature should he taken. Heat load must he estimated through all surfaces including piping, ducts, fan casings, tank walls, etc., where heat flows inwards towards the cooled system. 

A delay error shifts the position of zero delay with respect to the overall intensity envelope, resulting in a substantial reduction of overall contrast. The contrast may vanish entirely if the zero delay position coincides with a minimum. Therefore, there is a relation between the allowable delay error max and the spectral bandwidth Aoj of the detected radiation if the amplitude error of the fringe modulation is to remain small, i. e., (5max = A /AA. 

In (9.2), AEy is the bandwidth of the incoming radiation and Cei is the electronic absorption cross section. The exponential decay is modulated by the square of a Bessel function of the first order (/j), giving rise to the aforementioned dynamical beats. The positions of their minima and maxima (i.e., the slope of the envelope of the time-dependent intensity) can be determined with high accuracy and thus give precise information about the effective thickness of the sample. 

Let a small black body of area S and at temperature T2, completely enveloped by a hotter black body at temperature Tlr be considered. In this case, the net amount of heat transferred from the hotter to the colder body equals the algebraic sum of the radiations from the two bodies and is given by... 

The first question to ask about the formation of interstellar molecules is where the formation occurs. There are two possibilities the molecules are formed within the clouds themselves or they are formed elsewhere. As an alternative to local formation, one possibility is that the molecules are synthesized in the expanding envelopes of old stars, previously referred to as circumstellar clouds. Both molecules and dust particles are known to form in such objects, and molecular development is especially efficient in those objects that are carbon-rich (elemental C > elemental O) such as the well-studied source IRC+10216.12 Chemical models of carbon-rich envelopes show that acetylene is produced under high-temperature thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and that as the material cools and flows out of the star, a chemistry somewhat akin to an acetylene discharge takes place, perhaps even forming molecules as complex as PAHs.13,14 As to the contribution of such chemistry to the interstellar medium, however, all but the very large species will be photodissociated rapidly by the radiation field present in interstellar space once the molecules are blown out of the protective cocoon of the stellar envelope in which they are formed. Consequently, the material flowing out into space will consist mainly of atoms, dust particles, and possibly PAHs that are relatively immune to radiation because of their size and stability. It is therefore necessary for the observed interstellar molecules to be produced locally. 

What is the ultimate fate of the molecular material formed in the envelopes of carbon-rich stars as it heads out into space The dust grains will be processed only slowly by the interstellar radiation held and survive almost intact until they become part of an interstellar cloud. The survival of individual PAHs depends on their size the larger ones withstand radiation much better than do the smaller ones.115 By survival we are referring to the aromatic skeleton the interstellar radiation field will efficiently break H bonds and cause ionization so that unsaturated, ionized PAHs are likely to dominate those found in the diffuse interstellar medium. Such species have been suggested as a source of the DIBs.118,123 Small molecules photodissociate in the interstellar radiation field before the material becomes part of an interstellar cloud. 

Double-resonance spectroscopy involves the use of two different sources of radiation. In the context of EPR, these usually are a microwave and a radiowave or (less common) a microwave and another microwave. The two combinations were originally called ENDOR (electron nuclear double resonance) and ELDOR (electron electron double resonance), but the development of many variations on this theme has led to a wide spectrum of derived techniques and associated acronyms, such as ESEEM (electron spin echo envelope modulation), which is a pulsed variant of ENDOR, or DEER (double electron electron spin resonance), which is a pulsed variant of ELDOR. The basic principle involves the saturation (partially or wholly) of an EPR absorption and the subsequent transfer of spin energy to a different absorption by means of the second radiation, leading to the detection of the difference signal. The requirement of saturability implies operation at close to liquid helium, or even lower, temperatures, which, combined with long experimentation times, produces a...
