Jubilee of atomic emission analysis

A Biblical and Economic Analysis of Jubilee Property Provisions

© Association of Christian Economists Abstract: The focus of this paper is on understanding biblical relationships between God, the chosen people of Israel, and the Promised Land. That is done by examining the covenantal relationships between these three entities and considering the economic implications for property ownership, land use, and valuation that result. The objective is to determine ...

Atomic Emission and Quantum Mechanics

Atomic Squeezing under Collective Emission

Atomic squeezing is studied for the case of large systems of radiating atoms, when collective effects are well developed. All temporal stages are analyzed, starting with the quantum stage of spontaneous emission, passing through the coherent stage of superradiant emission, and going to the relaxation stage ending with stationary solutions. A method of governing the temporal behaviour of the squ...

Educational Multiwavelength Atomic Emission Spectrometer

A simple multiwavelength emission instrument utilizing a commercial grating monochromator, a fiber optic sensor to collect radiation from an acetylene-air flame, and a CCD detector, has been evaluated for pedagogical value in the undergraduate curriculum. Simultaneous determination of Na, Li, K, Rb at ppb level, and Ca, Sr, Ba at ppm level was achieved. The instrument is affordable, yet suitabl...

Overlapping Generations: The First Jubilee

Paul Samuelson’s (1958) overlapping generations model has turned 50. Seldom has so simple a model been so influential. Its “wow” factor, and the feeling of surprise at its originality and coolness have not paled with the years. The paper, in spite of its ripe age, still elicits wonder. Starting from the uncontroversial observation that “we live in a world where new generations are always coming...
