His writing has been praised for bringing to life the traumatic events of American 20th Century history, like the Depression, World War II and Vietnam for the generations too young or too old to feel them. It was Doctorow's 1971 book, "The Book of Daniel," that established his reputation as a major American writer. The book was inspired by the Atom Spy Trials at the height of the McCarthy era.

The shielding of gamma radiation-at photon energies where the Compton scatter process is dominant- results in a transmitted beam that is largely composed of scattered photons. Since the scattering is performed principally by the electrons of the shielding medium, it is in principle sufficient to know the electron distribution, the differential scattering law, and the absorptive properties of the medium to completely define the transmitted beam. The electron distribution and the absorptive properties of the medium are space-dependent in an often complex way, with abrupt discontinuities at the boundaries separating materials. The dose buildup factor was determined for cobalt-60 and cesium-137.

The invention relates to a photographic processing method. A black and white silver halide photographic film is processed by first forming a transparent, acid inactive developer overcoating layer on the surface of the film. An image exposure is then made through the layer onto the film, and the overcoated film then immersed in alkaline water.
