2 unusual facts about rays


David Olney

He moved to Nashville in 1973 and formed the band The X-Rays, which gained a reputation during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

High-energy X-rays

Interfaces and layers in complicated environments, such as the intermetallic reaction of ZINCALUME surface coating on industrial steel in the liquid bath.

Buddhist monk Lè Zūn has a vision of "golden rays of light shining down on 1,000 Buddha's", resulting in the creation of the Mogao Caves.

Akinori Iwamura

Midway through the 2008 season, Iwamura got a mohawk haircut, a style which soon spread to many of his teammates and Rays' manager Joe Maddon.

American Maid

She has also been revealed to be an operative (at least part-time) for the US government and had the former alias of Jeanine Smith during a mission with the Tick and Arthur to rescue Yank, a monkey made temporarily smart by cosmic rays, and subsequently kidnapped by the evil ruler Pineapple Pokopo.

Aquarium of the Bay

The Aquarium also has skates, bat rays and thousands of other animals including eels, flatfish, rockfish, Wrasse, Gobies, Kelpfish, Pricklebacks, Ronquil, Sculpin and Sturgeons.

Bat Country

The song's main influence comes from Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the title itself also comes from a line from the book in which Raoul Duke, the alter-ego pseudonym of Thompson himself, is on his way to Las Vegas while being affected by various drugs, and thus hallucinates, seeing huge bats and manta rays in the sky.

Bremsstrahlung

It is very similar to X-rays produced by bombarding metal targets with electrons in X-ray machines (as above) only it is produced by high speed electrons from beta radiation.

Bruce Harding

That same year, in an article on "Faceting Limits" in Gems and Gemology, the magazine of the Gemological Institute of America, he identified the effect of an observer's head blocking rays of illumination for the main facets of a number of gem materials, including diamonds.

Central Coast Rays

The Rays hosted the Melbourne Rebels in the inaugural ARC Grand Final, after coming from behind against the Perth Spirit in their semi-final, winning 27 to 19.

Champion Stadium

In April 2008, the Rays moved another series, this time against the Toronto Blue Jays, to Orlando.

Comet Hyakutake

Observations of comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) with the Chandra satellite in 2000 determined that X-rays observed from that comet were produced predominantly by charge exchange collisions between highly charged carbon oxygen and nitrogen minor ions in the solar wind, and neutral water, oxygen and hydrogen in the comet's coma.

Crookes tube

Eugen Goldstein thought he had figured out a method of measuring the speed of cathode rays.

It was used by Crookes, Johann Hittorf, Julius Plücker, Eugen Goldstein, Heinrich Hertz, Philipp Lenard and others to discover the properties of cathode rays, culminating in J.J. Thomson's 1897 identification of cathode rays as negatively charged particles, which were later named electrons.

Dan Wheeler

On July 28, 2007, Wheeler was traded back to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in exchange for third baseman Ty Wigginton.

During his time with the Devil Rays, Dave Eiland acted as a body double for Kevin Costner, who played a starting pitcher, in the 1999 film For Love of the Game.

David Whiffen

He was the first to successfully test the predictions of the underlying theory of Peter Debye, the Dutch-American theoretical physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1936 for his work on molecular structure, the theory of dipole moments in liquids and the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases.

Ernst G. Bauer

For the study of two-dimensional systems with repulsive or oscillatory interactions, his group developed LEED-diffractometry that allows the determination of critical exponents in chemisorbed layers with accuracy comparable to that achieved with x-rays in physisorbed layers.

Gregory M. Garibian

Even at a very young age he followed news in the world of physics and was very excited when in 1942 he learned about the Alikhanian brothers’ expedition to Mount Aragats (Armenia) in order to search for protons in cosmic rays.

Gulf Coast League Devil Rays

The Gulf Coast Devil Rays were a Gulf Coast League team from 1996 to 1998.

Gulf Coast League Rays

The Rays returned to the Gulf Coast League for the first time since the 1998 season, when they were known as the Gulf Coast Devil Rays.

Indian whiting

The interspinous membrane of the first dorsal fin, the individual soft rays and the caudal fin are also spotted, with the caudal fin heavily spotted.

Jason Pridie

Eight days later, the Rays traded Pridie along with Delmon Young and Brendan Harris to the Minnesota Twins for Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett, and Eduardo Morlan.

Kelly Shoppach

In the 2011 offseason the Rays signed former Red Sox teammates Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon.

Lorentz invariance in loop quantum gravity

Giovanni Amelino-Camelia then proposed that the mystery of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays might be solved by assuming such violations of the special-relativity dispersion relation for photons.

Mobula

Species of this genera are often collectively referred to as "Flying Mobula" or simply "Flying rays", due to their propensity for breaching, sometimes in a spectacular manner.

Nuclear electronics

Essential elements of such systems include fast detectors for charged particles, discriminators for separating them by energy, counters for counting the pulses produced by individual particles, fast logic circuits (including coincidence and veto gates), for identification of particular types of complex particle events, and pulse height analyzers (PHAs) for sorting and counting gamma rays or particle interactions by energy, for spectral analysis.

Oregon Convention Center

Each of the towers has a focal point artwork, with a colorful 40-foot long Chinese dragon boat suspended in the east tower, and Principia by Jones/Ginzel, a dramatic Foucault pendulum hanging over a gilded halo of rays and an inlaid fantasy solar system in the floor of the north tower.

Rays players who went on to the major-league level include Carl Crawford, Toby Hall, Jorge Cantu, Dewon Brazelton, Chad Gaudin, Matt Diaz, Jonny Gomes, and Seth McClung.

Radiography

In January 1896, on reading of Röntgen's discovery, Frank Austin of Dartmouth College tested all of the discharge tubes in the physics laboratory and found that only the Pulyui tube produced X-rays.

Ranjan Roy Daniel

T He carried out research in the H. H. Wills Physics Laboratory, headed by the Nobel laureate C. F. Powell, using nuclear emulsions exposed to cosmic rays at high altitudes.

Some of the former players honored on canvas include Hall of Famer Don Drysdale, Cy Young winner Pedro Martinez, NL ROY Eric Karros, potential Hall of Famer Mike Piazza, and former Rays outfielder Rocco Balldelli.

San Pedro Mountains Mummy

This first mummy was examined using X-rays which determined that it was the body of an anencephalic infant "whose cranial deformity gave it the appearance of a miniature adult."

Seal of Colorado

By statute, the seal of the state is two and one-half inches in diameter with the following devices inscribed thereon: At the top is the Eye of Providence or 'All Seeing Eye' within a triangle, from which golden rays radiate on two sides.

Semantic discord

Another example of semantic discord can be found in N-rays under Pathological science.

Sensei robotic catheter system

Use of robotic navigation for catheter ablation was also designed to allow Electrophysiology to perform most of the procedure without being exposed to X-rays (or radiation).

Seven rays

Another progressive rock band, Hawkwind, have a song about the seven rays titled Seven by Seven.

According to Alice A. Bailey and Benjamin Creme, the seven rays are focused to the Solar Logos, through Sirius, the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the Great Bear, and the seven major stars of the Pleiades form the "Galactic Logos," (the consciousness of the "Divine Being" of the Milky Way Galaxy), and have their ultimate origin within the mind of God.

Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor

The design of this sensor was based on an aperture array that had been developed in 1900 by Johannes Franz Hartmann as a means to trace individual rays of light through the optical system of a large telescope, thereby testing the quality of the image.

Sheet metal forming analysis

The basic idea of Photogrammetry is to look at points (coded and uncoded) from different directions and to calculate the 3D coordinates of these points from the images or point rays thus obtained.

Talagunda pillar inscription

Raghu’s brother was Kākusthavarman (c. 435-55) who "was like the sun and by means of rays (daughters) caused the lotuses of Gupta and other royal families to bloom in friendless, eagerness and love."
