Isotopes that are lighter than the stable < sup > 123 </ sup > Sb tend to decay by β < sup >+</ sup > decay, and those that are heavier tend to decay by β < sup >-</ sup > decay, with some exceptions.

The two groups are Emanuel Maxwell, who published his results in Isotope Effect in the Superconductivity of Mercury and C. A. Reynolds, B. Serin, W. H. Wright, and L. B. Nesbitt who published their results 10 pages later in Superconductivity of Isotopes of Mercury.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element ( that is, with the same number of protons in their atomic nucleus ), but having different numbers of neutrons.

Isotopes are distinguished by the atomic mass number ( total protons and neutrons ) for a particular isotope of an element, with this number combined with the pertinent element's symbol.

The least stable is < sup > 138 </ sup > Dy with a half-life of 200 ms. Isotopes that are lighter than the stable isotopes tend to decay primarily by β < sup >+</ sup > decay, while those that are heavier tend to decay by β < sup >−</ sup > decay, with some exceptions.

Isotopes of other elements are not so great a problem as they can be removed by chemical means.

Isotopes of unbinilium are predicted to have alpha decay half-lives of the order of microseconds.

Isotopes are often preferentially absorbed by biologically active tissue in the body, and can be used to identify tumors or fracture points in bone.

Isotopes with gaseous precursors solidify on the surface of the particles as they are produced by decay.

* Isotopes are nuclides having the same number of protons ; e. g. carbon-12 and carbon-13.

The other divisions and technical groups are: Accelerator Applications, Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology Technical Group, Biology and Medicine, Computational Medical Physics Working Group, Decommissioning, Decontamination & Reutilization, Education and Training, Environmental Sciences, Fuel Cycle and Waste Management ; Fusion Energy ; Human Factors ; Isotopes and Radiation ; Materials Science and Technology ; Mathematics and Computation, Nuclear Criticality Safety ; Nuclear Installations Safety, Operations and Power ; Radiation Protection and Shielding ; Reactor Physics ; Robotics and Remote Systems ; and Thermal hydraulics.

The owner refuses to give Homer a refund, but in his haste to leave Homer accidentally enters a room and discovers evidence that the Isotopes are moving to Albuquerque.

The crowd then takes notice that the hot dogs are even wrapped with " Albuquerque Isotopes " paper and are enraged.

Months later, he enters Moe's Tavern and is informed by Lenny and Carl that the Isotopes are in the playoffs, and have, so far, been playing well.

Isotopes are forms of the same element that have variable numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.

Isotopes of samarium are used in samarium-neodymium dating for determining the age relationships of rocks and meteorites.

Isotopes with atomic masses lower than the most abundant stable isotope, < sup > 158 </ sup > Gd, primarily decay via electron capture to Eu ( europium ) isotopes.

Isotopes of silver range in relative atomic mass from 93. 943 (< sup > 94 </ sup > Ag ) to 126. 936 (< sup > 127 </ sup > Ag ); the primary decay mode before the most abundant stable isotope, < sup > 107 </ sup > Ag, is electron capture and the primary mode after is beta decay.

The Marlins may have won the 2003 World Series, but up until playoff time, their Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes franchise was outdrawing the major league club most nights of the week.

" The " Isotopes " name is appropriate, since New Mexico has a number of well-known scientific / military facilities dealing with nuclear technology, such as Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and the Waste Isolation Pilot Project ( WIPP ), as well as hosting the Trinity test.

* Nuclides and Isotopes – 14th Edition, GE Nuclear Energy, 1989.

Isotopes were then explained as elements with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons within the nucleus.

Isotopes of bohrium have also been detected in the decay of heavier elements.

Isotopes heavier than < sup > 62 </ sup > Ni cannot be formed by nuclear fusion without losing energy.

Really, you are most indiscreet to drive him here yourself '', he said, frowning with displeasure.

Accidental war is so sensitive a subject that most of the people who could become directly involved in one are told just enough so they can perform their portions of incredibly complex tasks.

Now we must become vague, for we are approaching one of the nation's most guarded secrets.

These things are important to almost all Persians and perhaps most important to the most ordinary.

The men crying love poems in an orchard on any summer's night are as often as not the lutihaw, mustachioed toughs who spend most of their lives in and out of the local prisons, brothels, and teahouses.

The most effective political inventions seem to make maximum use of natural harbors and are aware that restraining breakwaters can play only a minor part in the whole scheme.

The most primitive feelings are rudimentary value feelings, both positive and negative: a desire to appropriate this or that part of the environment into oneself ; ;

Our most elemental and unavoidable impressions, he says, are those of being involved in a large arena of powers which have a longer past than our own, which are interrelated in a vast movement through the present toward the future.

they are the most valuable of commodities -- and the most salable, for their demand far exceeds supply.

True, ideas are important, perhaps life's most precious treasures.

Its ontological status is itself most tenuous because apart from individual men, who are its `` matter '', tradition, the `` form '' of society exists only as a shared perception of truth.

The ingredients of Faulkner's novels and stories are by no means new with him, and most of the problems he takes up have had the attention of authors before him.

nor is there need to add that among them are some of the most highly individualized and most successful of his characters.

The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

and, `` I do think that families are the most beautiful things in all the world '', burst out Jo some five hundred pages later in that popular story of the March family, which had first appeared when Henrietta was eight ; ;

By the same test predispositions destructive of human personality exercise their most sinister impact, with the result that men of good will are often trapped and nullified.

I assume that the number of readers of this anthology who regard themselves as morally perfect is small, and that most readers are willing to consider procedures by which they may gain more insight into themselves and better understanding of others.

This understanding, of course, may in its turn take many forms and some of these -- especially those most interesting to the student of comparative literature -- are essentially historical.

In this essay, we are, along with most historians, interested in the more general or more inclusive ideas, that are so to speak `` writ large '' in history of literature where they recur continually.
