Data Reduction and Error Analysis for Accurate Single Crystal Diffraction Intensities
TL;DR: In this article, a least squares analysis of peak profile widths is used to fit intersecting straight lines to the background profile near the peak limits, and a time-dependent scaling according to standard reference reflection intensities is based on least squares fitted scaling polynomials and may be weighted by anisotropic, intensity-dependent or scatteringangle-dependent factors.

Optical Observations of GRO J1655?40 in Quiescence. I. A Precise Mass for the Black Hole Primary
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported photometric and spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 in complete quiescence, which yielded an inclination of i = 6950? 008 and a mass ratio of Q = M1/M2 = 2.34? 0.08.

TL;DR: The procedures described in this report should assist a qualified medical physicist in either measuring a complete set of beam data, or in verifying a subset of data before initial use or for periodic quality assurance measurements.

Updated Galileo probe mass spectrometer measurements of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on Jupiter
TL;DR: Folkner et al. as discussed by the authors measured the mixing ratios of H2O, H2S, and NH3 in the deep well-mixed atmosphere of Jupiter and showed that the mixing ratio of NH3 increased with depth, finally reaching we ll-fixed equilibration levels at pressures far greater than the lifting condensation levels.
