Abstract
Abstract Statistical methods of estimation of the mean life-times of unstable particles from cloud chamber photographs are discussed (i) for decaying particles only, (ii) when non-decaying particles can be recognized.

On the Use of Subtraction Fields and the Lifetimes of Some Types of Meson Decay
The method of subtraction fields in current meson perturbation theory is described, and it is shown that it leads to finite results in all processes. The method is, however, not...
Time‐resolved fluorescence imaging of europium chelate label in immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization
Abstract Fluorescent lanthanide chelates with long decay times allow the suppression of the fast decaying autofluorescence in biological specimens. This property makes lanthanid...
Estimation of Admixture Proportions: A Likelihood-Based Approach Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Abstract When populations are separated for long periods and then brought into contact for a brief episode in part of their range, this can result in genetic admixture. To analy...
Non‐precipitating cumulus convection and its parameterization
Abstract This paper discusses the thermodynamic transports of heat, liquid water and (briefly) water vapour by non‐precipitating cumulus convection. It is shown that because of ...
Passage of Uranium Fission Fragments Through Matter
The ranges and rates of energy loss of the fission fragments of uranium are calculated on the basis of a model in which the charge of the fragment is obtained from its energy an...
