Abstract Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) plastic scintillator has been identified as potential self-vetoing structural material in low-background physics experiments. Radio-pure scintillating components have produced from PEN using injection compression molding technology. These will be used optically active holders to mount the Germanium detectors Legend -200 neutrinoless double beta decay expe...

PURPOSE Results of the MENTORED QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IMPACT PROGRAM℠ (MQIIP) on Ensuring Insulin Pen Safety in Hospitals, which was part of an ASHP educational initiative aimed at ensuring the safe use of insulin pens in hospitals, are described. METHODS During this ASHP initiative, which also included continuing-education activities and Web-based resources, distance mentoring by pharmacists w...

Background: Since psychological tests such as questionnaire or drawing tests are almost qualitative, their results carry a degree of uncertainty and sometimes subjectivity. The deficiency of all drawing tests is that the assessment is carried out after drawing the objects and lots of information such as pen angle, speed, curvature and pressure are missed through the test. In other words, the ps...

Abstract Detectors based on liquid argon (LAr) often require surfaces that can shift vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light and reflect the visible shifted light. For LAr instrumentation of LEGEND-200 neutrinoless double beta decay experiment, several square meters wavelength-shifting reflectors (WLSR) were prepared: reflector Tetratex® (TTX) was in-situ evaporated with wavelength shifter tetraphenyl b...

Advertised as “a computer in a pen”, the Fly Pentop computer (ref web site) hit the stores in the fall of 2005. One application of the pen is a four-function calculator that the user draws on a special kind of paper called “Fly paper”. The pen seems to know what numbers have been written and where on the paper the numbers lie, because after tapping on what was drawn (e.g. 5, +, 3, 7, =), the co...

This work reports the development and optimization of a rapid low-cost pen-on-paper plotting approach for fabrication paper-based analytical devices (PADs) using commercial writing stationery. The desired fluidic patterns were drawn on paper substrate with marker pens an inexpensive computer-controlled x–y plotter. For electrochemical PADs, electrodes further deposited second step pencils. effe...

Dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) micro- and nano-structures are referred to artificial muscles because of their specific continuous power and adequate time response. The bending measurement of an asymmetric, planar DEA is described. The asymmetric cantilevers consist of 1 or 5 μm-thin DEAs deposited on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates 16, 25, 38, or 50 μm thick. The application of a...

Grating is one of the widely used optical elements in modern optics, and grating constant determines many properties grating. The smart phone screen a regular Based on formula, this paper improves simplifies experimental device, measures through diffraction pattern reflected by normal grazing incidence laser pen. By comparing with theoretical value, it found that measured value good agreement r...
