Variations in 7Be concentrations in the atmosphere of Kuwait during the period 1994 to 1998
Abstract:
The Beryllium-7 (7Be) concentrations in the atmosphere of Kuwait, as found by gamma-ray measurements for 243 air filters collected over a five-year period, produced variable values ranging from 0.2 to 14.9 mBq/m3 with a behavior pattern which has oscillatory characteristics, with increased activities occurring in the summer months of each year. The annual levels of occurrence of 7Be were found to be correlate with the cyclic pattern resulting from the eleven-year temporal variations associated with the solar activity.

Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:
