The Quantasyn, an improved quantum detector

Quantasyn provides absolute measurement of radiation flux in the range 1000 A to 4500 A and into the vacuum ultraviolet. This radiation detector cimbines the high quantum efficiency and inherent linearity of the silicon solar cell with the constant quantum response of the fluorescent organic compound liumogen

A compact spectroradiometer for solar simulator measurements

Compact spectral irradiance probe has been designed and built which uses wedge filter in conjunction with silicon cell and operational amplifier. Probe is used to monitor spectral energy distribution of solar simulators and other high intensity sources

Letter, William H. Seward to James Kelly, January 9, 1858

This letter, dated January 9, 1858, is from William H. Seward, an American politician who served as United States Secretary of State from 1861 to 1869 to James Kelly, a United States senator for Oregon from 1871 to 1877, and later Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. This note was found tipped into volume three, between pages 348-349 of Abraham Lincoln : A History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-manuscripts-nicolay-and-hay-documents/1019/thumbnail.jp

Letters, William H. Seward to Seth M. Gates, November 26, 1839

This handwritten letter, dated November 26, 1839, is written from William H. Seward to Seth M. Gates acknowledging the receipt of Gates\u27 letter of the November 23, 1839 and expresses regret that he has not been able to meet Gates during Gates\u27 visit to Washington. Seward goes on to state that he will give Gates\u27 recommendation for an appointment respectful consideration.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-manuscripts-original-manuscripts/1186/thumbnail.jp

ROSAT Observations of the Vela Pulsar

The ROSAT HRI was used to monitor X-ray emission from the Vela Pulsar. Six observations span 2-1/2 years and 3 glitches. The summed data yield a determination of the pulse shape, and X-ray emission from the pulsar is found to be 12 % pulsed with one broad and two narrow peaks. One observation occurred 15 days after a large glitch. No change in pulse structure was observed and any change in X-ray luminosity, if present, was less than 3 %. Implications for neutron star structure are discussed.Comment: To be publisned in the Astrophysical Journa

Cold Exposure Exacerbates the Development of Diabetic Polyneuropathy in the Rat

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and cold-induced nerve injury share several pathogenic mechanisms. This study explores whether cold exposure contributes to the development of DPN. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and controls were exposed to a room temperature (23°C) or cold environment (10°C). H-reflex, tail and sciatic motor, and sensory nerve conduction studies were performed. Analyses of sural nerve, intraepidermal nerve fibers, and skin and nerve nitrotyrosine ELISAs were performed. Diabetic animals exposed to a cold environment had an increased H-reflex four weeks earlier than diabetic room temperature animals (P = .03). Cold-exposed diabetic animals also had greater reduction in motor conduction velocities at 20 weeks (P = .017), decreased skin nerve fiber density (P = .037), and increased skin nitrotyrosine levels (P = .047). Cold exposure appears to hasten the development of DPN in the rat STZ model of diabetes. These findings support that further study into the relationship between ambient temperature and DPN is warranted
