Under appropriate conditions, psychrometric wet elements of simple design can be highly reproducible in behavior. A temperature depression of 10 K can be reproducible from element to element within 2 mK. The properties of a wet element can be...
This PTR type standard 0.1-ohm resistor was made by Otto Wolff in Berlin. It was calibrated in 1898 at the PTR (Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt). Presumably it was then purchased with others by the Office of Weights and Measures, (precursor...

Electron scavengers; gas phase; ion-molecule reactions; methane; neutralization; pulse radiolysis
The pulse radiolysis of methane has been studied in the absence and presence of electron scavengers such as SF6 and CD3I and positive ion scavengers such as i-C4D10 in order to define the role of the intermediates H, C, CH, CH2, CH3, CH+5, and...
Electron scavengers; gas phase; ion-molecule reactions; neopentane; neutralization; pulse radiolysis
The pulse radiolysis of gaseous neopentane has been investigated in the absence and presence of electron scavengers (SF6, CD3I, CCl4). Deuterium labeling experiments show that the stable product molecules can be accounted for by (a) radical...
Punched paper tape from a radioactive decay experiment as descibed in the paper ""A Method for Obtaining Large Numbers of Measured Time Intervals in Radioactive Decay"" published in 1968 by Samuel B. Garfinkel and Wilfred B. Mann of the National...
A completely automatic apparatus has been developed for the preparative-scale purification of compounds by gas-liquid chromatography. A clock timer periodically activates a pump that injects a sample into the column. The recording potentiometer on...
