Calculation of resonance neutron absorption in two-region problems /the GAROL code/

GAROL computer program explicitly takes into account those effects which arise from neutron resonance overlap of an individual resonance absorber and of mixtures of different resonance absorbers. GAROL computes effective group cross-sections for the resolved resonances of a mixture of isotopes in a two-region cell

MARKETING SOYBEANS: A SURVEY OF SEASONAL PRICE AND PRICE VARIATION CHARACTERISTICS

The focus of this study is to review the seasonal structures of the soybean market for the period 1988 through 1999, and to suggest in broad terms the main management implications for those that seek to improve their marketing performance.Crop Production/Industries, Marketing,

Visual Analogue Scales: do they have a role in the measurement of preferences for health states?

Health state preference data are increasingly used to inform national health care resource allocation decisions. In such circumstances it is important to be confident that the data we provide to decision makers is fit for purpose. Whilst there are many unresolved issues in health state preference measurement, there are some areas of agreement on procedures that are inappropriate. The past ten years have seen the publication of a number of papers reporting substantive problems with the use of visual analogue scales to value health states. In this journal Torrance and colleagues reviewed this literature and concluded that Visual Analogue Scales have a limited but useful role in health state preference measurement. In this paper we critically review the arguments advanced by Torrance and colleagues and argue that it is increasingly clear that Visual Analogue Scales are not an appropriate method and that the time has come to accept that VAS should not be used for health state preference measurement

Ion-retarding lens improves the abundance sensitivity of tandem mass spectrometers

Ion-retarding lens which increases the abundance sensitivity of tandem magnetic-analyzer mass spectrometers measures isotopes of low abundance in mass positions adjacent to isotopes of high abundance. The lens increases the abundance sensitivity for isotopes lying farther from high abundance isotopes than the energy cutoff of the lens
