In 1924, Walther Bothe and Hans Geiger applied a coincidence method to the study of Compton scattering with Geiger needle counters. Their experiment confirmed the existence of radiation quanta and established the validity of conservation principles in elementary processes. At the end of the 1920s, Bothe and Werner Kolhörster coupled the coincidence technique with the new Geiger–Müller counter t...

In order for solar and visible blind III-nitride based photodetectors to effectively compete with the detective performance of PMT there is a need to develop photodetectors that take advantage of low noise avalanche gain. Furthermore, in certain applications, it is desirable to obtain UV photon counting performance. In this paper, we review the characteristics of III-nitride visible-blind avala...

Various reports (l-5) have demonstrated that streptomycin inhibits the metabolic activities of the non-proliferating cells of susceptible strains of bacteria. This paper is an attempt to trace the mode of action of streptomycin with the object of determining what reactions vital to the cell are interfered with. Study of the mode of action of the antibiotics of therapeutic value should eventualI...

Combined presentation of the talks given by the two authors at the workshop " RHIC Physics and Beyond – Abstract. We report on work done in collaboration with Klaus Kinder-Geiger and John Ellis which aims at connecting the space-time structure of event generator simulations with observable output. Klaus Geiger was an important driving force in our search for understanding the dynamics of ultrar...

Recent studies revealed the effect of meteorological seasons on accuracy GPS positioning. The existing model is weak because it derived from a climate classification in which earth divided into latitudinal zones, and each zone does not have sufficient number International GNSS Service (IGS) sites as representative. Furthermore, prediction biased due to loading effects tectonic motion. Here, we ...
