·
Feb.
12: two corrections for the X-ray notes:
-Page 1.10, Eq. 1.8, Tube energy
should read E=P*t=kVp*i*t (it was missing time- t);
-page 1.13, Eq. above 1.15, defining efficiency of
X-ray generation should read: 
(in notes it was reversed). This is a general
definition (not limited to Bremstrahlung).
