The Pairing Effect In Nuclei And Isomerism, Robert Katz Sep 1953

The Pairing Effect In Nuclei And Isomerism, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Previous workers have shown from an analysis of the energetics of alpha and beta decay that the pairing energy of protons is greater than that of neutrons. It is here postulated that this effect is responsible for the absence of odd-proton isomers for 50

The speed with which the concepts of group velocity, phase velocity, and beats are grasped, integrated, and retained can be materially aided with the following simple demonstration apparatus.


Use Of A Simple Blowing Device To Facilitate Inspection Of Wheat For Internal Infestation, Max Milner, E. P. Farrell, Robert Katz Apr 1953

Use Of A Simple Blowing Device To Facilitate Inspection Of Wheat For Internal Infestation, Max Milner, E. P. Farrell, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

Enforcement of sanitary practices in the commercial handling of wheat, particularly with reference to insect infestation, requires a method of inspection of wheat for internal or hidden insect infestation which is reliable, yet rapid enough for routine use. A number of inspection methods have been developed for this purpose, and a review has been published (1) of those proposed up to two years ago. A rigorous evaluation of several of these techniques has been made recently (2).

The rapid inspection method suggested to the grain trade by the Food and Drug Administration (2), based on the results of an extensive …


Application Of The Polaroid-Land Process To Radiographic Inspection Of Wheat, Max Milner, Robert Katz, M. R. Lee, W. B. Pyle Mar 1953

Application Of The Polaroid-Land Process To Radiographic Inspection Of Wheat, Max Milner, Robert Katz, M. R. Lee, W. B. Pyle

Robert Katz Publications

At a time when the technique of X-ray inspection of grains for internal insect infestation, announced almost two years ago, appears to have gained considerable currency in industries handling and processing grain, there exists the general feeling that these industries would be more receptive to any technique which would even further simplify and expedite the radiographic inspection process. To this end Kansas State College and the Picker X-Ray Corporation have engaged in a cooperative study relating to the application of the Picker-Polaroid photographic process to the determination of internal infestation in grain. This process is based on the principle of …
