4Gamma secretase — is a multi subunit protease complex, itself an integral membrane protein, that cleaves single pass transmembrane proteins at residues within the transmembrane domain. The most well known substrate of gamma secretase is amyloid precursor protein,… …
5X-ray fluorescence — (XRF) is the emission of characteristic secondary (or fluorescent) X rays from a material that has been excited by bombarding with high energy X rays or gamma rays. The phenomenon is widely used for elemental analysis and chemical analysis,… …

7Induced gamma emission — In physics, induced gamma emission (IGE) refers to the process of fluorescent emission of gamma rays from excited nuclei, usually involving a specific nuclear isomer. It is analogous to conventional fluorescence, which is defined to be the… …
8Ionization chamber — An ionization chamber is a device used for two major purposes: detecting particles in air (as in a smoke detector), and for detection or measurement of ionizing radiation. An ionization chamber is an instrument constructed to measure the number… …
