What is now known as Wheatley Heights was mapped out as real estate sub-divisions of Wyandanch ( including Wheatley Heights Estates, and Harlem Park ) by Bellerose developer, William Geiger, ( as in Geiger Lake park and pool ) in 1913 following the development of the Long Island Motor Parkway.

In July 1945, the Town of Babylon accepted a deed from the owners of Geiger Lake property ( Wheatley Heights Estate, Inc .) located between Long Island Avenue and Grand Boulevard on the border between Wyandanch and Deer Park.

Geiger Memorial Lake was so popular that by 1948 " many houses " had been built on Elk Street on land with lake views.

The town spent $ 156, 000 refurbishing the Geiger Lake Pool in Wyandanch in the summer of 1989.

At the extreme southern edge of Reno the highway has a junction with the Mount Rose Highway ( Nevada State Route 431 ) and the Geiger Grade ( Nevada State Route 341 ), which connect the freeway with Virginia City and North Lake Tahoe.

In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the direction of physicist Ernest Rutherford, bombarded a sheet of gold foil with alpha rays — by then known to be positively charged helium atoms — and discovered that a small percentage of these particles were deflected through much larger angles than was predicted using Thomson's proposal.

Gamow solved a model potential for the nucleus and derived, from first principles, a relationship between the half-life of the decay, and the energy of the emission, which had been previously discovered empirically, and was known as the Geiger – Nuttall law.

The original operating principle was discovered in 1908 and Geiger counters remain popular instruments for use in radiation dosimetry, health physics, experimental physics, the nuclear industry, geological exploration and other fields, due to their robust sensing element and their relatively low cost.

It was not until 1928 that Geiger and Walther Müller ( a PhD student of Geiger ) developed the Geiger-Muller tube which could detect more types of ionizing radiation and it became a practical radiation sensor.

Once this improved sensor was available, Geiger counter instruments could be produced relatively cheaply because the large output pulse required little electronic processing to give a count rate reading, which was a distinct advantage in the thermionic valve era due to valve cost and power consumption.

John H. Geiger, who was Key West's first harbor pilot, which later became Audubon House and Tropical Gardens.

More work was published in 1909 by Geiger and Marsden and further greatly expanded work was published in 1910 by Geiger, In 1911-2 Rutherford went before the Royal Society to explain the experiments and propound the new theory of the atomic nucleus as we now understand it.

The initial discovery was made by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden in 1909 when they performed the gold foil experiment under the direction of Rutherford, in which they fired a beam of alpha particles ( helium nuclei ) at layers of gold leaf only a few atoms thick.

During a test of his equipment for measuring the east-west effect, Rossi observed that the rate of near-simultaneous discharges of two widely separated Geiger counters was larger than the expected accidental rate.

Later, after Explorer 3, it was concluded that the original Geiger counter had been overwhelmed (" saturated ") by strong radiation coming from a belt of charged particles trapped in space by the Earth's magnetic field.

Marlowe interrogates Brody further and pieces together the full story: Geiger was blackmailing Carmen and the family driver didn ’ t like it, so he sneaked in, killed him, and took the film of Carmen.

But Frankel's conciliatory attitude was bound to create for him enemies on both liberal and orthodox sides, and such was the case with Abraham Geiger and Samson Raphael Hirsch, respectively.

Prior to the 1998 – 99 season, the 76ers signed George Lynch and Matt Geiger, but a lengthy lockout delayed the start of the season, which was shortened to 50 games.

Hans " Gengar " Geiger ( 30 September 1882 – 24 September 1945 ) was a German physicist.

Geiger was born at Neustadt-an-der-Haardt, Germany.

He was one of five children born to the Indologist Wilhelm Ludwig Geiger, who was professor at the University of Erlangen.

In 1902, Geiger started studying physics and mathematics in University of Erlangen and was awarded a doctorate in 1906.

It was named after Hans Geiger who invented the principle in 1908, and Walther Müller who collaborated with Geiger in developing it further in 1928.

A Geiger counter at two of the harbor's public beaches shows 100 millirems / hour, 50 times the allowable dose.

Geiger never expressed himself in public about the Nazis.

This corresponds to a speed of around 0. 05 c. There is surprisingly small variation around this energy, due to the heavy dependence of the half-life of this process on the energy produced ( see equations in the Geiger – Nuttall law ).

* An ionization chamber / Geiger counter, mounted on the waveguide leading to the omnidirectional antenna nearer the body of the spacecraft, to measure the charged-particle intensity and distribution in interplanetary space and in the vicinity of Mars.

In 1994, he took the role of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger on CBS ' Chicago Hope for which he won an Emmy Award.

" Hans Geiger expanded on this work in a communication to the Royal Society with experiments he and Rutherford had done passing α particles through air, aluminum foil and gold leaf.

He wants Marlowe to deal with a blackmail attempt by a bookseller named Arthur Geiger on his wild young daughter Carmen.

In Geiger mode the photomultiplier gain is set so high ( using high voltage ) that a single photo-electron resulting from a single photon incident on the primary surface generates a very large current at the output circuit.

Christine Lahti joined in the second season as a talented cardiac surgeon with a feminist chip on her shoulder, vying with Geiger for the chief of surgery position.

The band consisted of Ed Sloan on lead guitar and vocals, Mitch James on bass guitar and backing vocals and Brian Geiger on drums.
