In this paper, we use evidence from our earlier review of surgical randomised controlled trials with a placebo arm to show that blinding in trials of interventional procedures is feasible.We give examples of ingenious strategies that have been used to simulate the active procedure and to make the placebo control indistinguishable from Arm Chair (se

A new methodology for determination of water of crystallization for uranyl nitrate samples using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray, and MCPN-5
The scanning electron microscope and its attached X-ray unit are valid tools for conducting surveys to determine whether or not the studied samples contain nuclear material.To verify their structure, ten solid uranyl nitrate specimens with various enrichment values (0.1 % to 1 %) were analyzed.The used samples have different numbers of hydrated wat
