Investigation on Comparative Optical Absorption and Luminescent Property of Cerium Doped Potassium Halide Single Crystals
The comparison of Optical absorption, Photoluminescence (PL), Thermoluminescence (TL) and other optical studies of X-ray irradiated Ce 3+ doped KBr and KI single crystals were discussed. Photoluminescence of these crystals exhibits characteristic Ce 3+ emission due to 5d-4f transition in both the studied material in addition to the host emission. Optical absorption and PL studies confirm the presence of Cerium ions in the trivalent state in both KBr and KI host .The characteristic emission due to Ce 3+ ions in the spectral distribution under optically stimulated emission and TL emission confirms the participation of Cerium ions in the recombination process in both host material. Trap parameters for the TL process are calculated and compared.

Body sculpturing.
Significant improvements in body contour can be accomplished by surgical procedures having reliable, predictable results. Similar to the modern sculptor of inanimate art forms, plastic surgeons have utilized new materials and devised new techniques to achieve aesthetic improvement of the face, trunk, and extremities. The goals of the surgical sculptor are perhaps more challenging than those of the pure artistic sculptor, not only because they must result in improved appearance but also because the surgeon is limited at all times by considerations of regional anatomy, the availability of viable tissue materials, and the safety of his patient.
