It is done! A New Era of Peace on the Korean Peninsula. The End of tensions on the Korean peninsula is now here Panmunjeom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification of the Korean Peninsula. During this momentous period of historical transformation on the Korean Peninsula...

I make Cabbage Kimchi once every ~2 months and I am a pro at it. I also make Kkakdugi, Chonggak-mu, Gat-Kimchi. etc.. Its actually very tasty, and good for your digestive system. btw Kimchi is not rotten cabbage, though it is preserved, much like sauerkraut. New Kimchi has next to no scent...

Maybe not completely, as no country wants to be without a bargaining chip. At any rate, I am increasingly encouraged by what I am seeing. The celebratory dish right now being served in Seoul is Hamheung style Naengmyeon with a wangmandu (giant mandu/dumpling) Both...

Positive thinking. It comes down to will power. N.Korea just took a gigantic step as did ROK. Probably arguably the largest step to reunification since the Korean War. Mark my words. What we are witnessing is the end of the Korean conflict in its entirety. Sometime in the next day or so the...

Today marks a historic day when Marshall Kim visited South Korea, directly meeting Pres. Mun JaeIn at Panmunjeom. The first time since 1953 a North Korean leader stepped foot on South Korean soil w7txGmt6tCY

Hearing about your case reminds me of several cases here in BC involving ICBC lawyers dismissing vaid injuries and playing much the same game you are describing. ICBC is has got to be the biggest racketeering gig going. I hope you are able to counter sue for misdiagnosis/malpractice and take...

I'm going to be sending the new 2"x2" probe to a specialist as IO now think there might be a problem with the probes sealing around the well or that the crystal is cracked. - Either way I have noticed an issue in the higher energy part of the spectrum that makes the higher energy resolutions...

More experimentation today, this time getting the side well to work properly. I'd been told by an ex harshaw employee via email that the well is thin enough to accept/pass through of 15KeV. Sure enough, he was right. Note how sharp the spectrum looks now.. Something worth noting here, the...

No, not OEM, actually there are several programs that are free to use all based on sound card usage. Also open source... 1# Theremino MCA (I use this one as it is the most commonly used) 2# PRA / Pulse Recorder and Analysis (Has very good Gaussian filters) I also use this one. 3# Intune...

So, I just got my Cs137 source by mail today. It's really weak, something in the neighbourhood of 0.2-0.3uCi.. The surface activity is only around 1300CPM. (that's around 3.9uSv/hr if you're using a LND7317 pancake probe). So, I had a bit of a discovery about how to get the best resolution...

Projector halogens (special bulbs) definitely mirror those used in studio photography. Very/resonably short lifespan for good colour gamut. All since replaced by plasma/HID or high output LED.

We had a small issue with the SSR (solid state relay) during the last launch. So we will be ordering a new one. We are kind of out of commission until the new one arrives from element14. I guess we'll also be looking for a load detector as well. It's lasted 25 launches, several clusters as...

I have 2 unused PMTs that don't have scintillation crystals yet, 2 NaI/Tl detectors, 1 CsI/Na 18mmx23mm which I home rolled, 1x plastic scintillation detector that is both Beta an Neutron sensitive. I am getting another scintillation detector soon. It will be a solid crystal. I am selling...

yeah. I was talking about colour output here not degrees K. The filament is around 2730-2760c operational temperature.

Not exactly. I have come to the realization that this probe is more suitable for gross counting low activity samples than conduct spectroscopy. However, I am still able to see the photopeaks of Am241 and the ones from Ra226 alright. but anything less than 30KeV has some trouble getting through...

Yes, wicked-lasers produced them for a while. They were kind of a gimmick. They consisted of a Projector Quartz Halogen bulb rated for 24V, overrun at ~29.4V provided by 7 Li-ion cells. The bulb was incased in a high-temperature Barium Titanate ceramic so as not to conduct the heat down the...

Just showing off a spectrum of am241 from my 10uCi. I also tried a 60uCi and a 160uCi source (which proved to be too much and saturated the ADC) Here we see in the first shot ... a very angular bin, done at 0.1x in the second shot, we see two peaks 59.54KeV and (69.77KeV Np237) and a...

Too bad the forum doesn't have enough space for HD quality videos... the video at 1080p looks far better and gives a really good idea how quickly the rocket is climbing. The entire flight from the launcher to engine burnout happens in under 1.2 seconds... :thanks: Just going to say...

2 movies from the recent launches. The failure video -- body tube shreds at ~2000ft, and the top of the tube continues into the cloud layer with the motor... the sensor in the cone was picked up 3km down the road. Sensor and cone climbed uncontrollably to just a hair over 4200ft at ~...

I received my early birthday gift from a fellow member of the Gamma Spectroscopy yahoo forums, a 2"x2" Harshaw (inline) NaI/Tl detector along with a single wire 14pin socket base from iRad labs out of Florida. The detector is a very heavy, well built (hermetically sealed) with MU liner, with...
