does the composition the x-ray tube glass influence the average wave length of x-rays?
Nothing storebought can compare with that which you make yourselfMy grandmother made brisket the old Russian way, and I still do it that way myselfBrown the brisket in a heavy dutch oven or covered skilletMeanwhile, slice yellow onions, one for every pound of meat(yes, it is a lot of onionsthey cook down) When the meat is browned on both sides, throw in the sliced onions, add salt, pepper a little garlic powder, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 2 hoursYou don't need to add any more liquid, as the onions will give off plentyAfter 2 hours, put the meat on a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutesThen slice it thinly, against the grain, and put the slices back in the natural gravy that has formedCover again and let it simmer another couple of hoursYou will have the most tender, delicious brisket you can imagineIf you want, you can thicken the gravy, but I use it just the way it is, pouring a bit on the mashed potatoes I serve with it.
is it corned beef or just reg brisket? slow cook in water at a simmer till tender usually 3 to 4 hrs corn beef add pickling spice brisket use 1 pkg of dry onion soup mix use horse radish sauce served on the side bbq sauce for the brisket on the side
Briskets are done on the top of the stove, or in a slow cooker or crock pot, which is my methodI love the marinade that comes with the corned beef briskets sold in storesI haven't found an equal one in home madeI like the flavor of the store stuffBrisket (like stew meats) are from a tougher cut, and needs extra moisture and cooking timeSo, if you make it in the oven, keep adding water, and keep it covered.
YesAnything between the anode of the x-ray tube and the target will attenuate some of the beamIn general, the softer (longer wave length - lower energy) components will be more strongly attenuatedAny components in the glass such as lead will increase the attenuation of the beam, and again, attenuate the softer components by a greater amountAs an aside, in diagnostic x-ray units, a plate of aluminum is typically placed in the path of the x-ray beam to filter out the soft x-raysBecause soft x-rays are preferentially filtered out, if not blocked by the aluminum, they would be absorbed in the body of the patientThus, they would increase the radiation dose without contributing to the x-ray image.
