Microprocessor crosstalk correction in multiple-detector gamma counters.

Abstract

A method for compensating for crosstalk between nuclear counters and its application to a multidetector gamma counter is described. The standardisation procedure employed measures the relative efficiency of each detector for a sample within that detector and for the same detector when the sample is located in each of the other detectors. Results with a 12-element detector system show that the stored calibration data obtained in this way can be applied successfully to correct the observed count rates for crosstalk as well as detector sensitivity differences when using gamma emitters having energies up to 1.3 MeV.

Data note system for capturing laboratory data.

The complexity of genome data limits the usefulness of traditional database management systems. The highly interconnected structure of genome data can be captured in a data representation language based on the mathematical formalism of graphs. We have tailored graphs for describing genome data and have developed a database management system, called the Data Note System, for developing small databases to capture data from genome laboratories. To simplify the use of the Data Note System, a series of tools with graphical user interfaces has been developed. The system is designed to be easy to install and use by novice database developers with a minimal amount of computer expertise. We describe the tools and present examples of their use. The system consists of a storage facility, a schema editing tool to simplify the design of small databases, and three tools for data entry and querying.
