Acute Radiotoxicity of (Ha-La)140 for Rats and Mice. Part III. Effects of Height and Food Intake of Animals Treated with (Ha-La)140

Description: In the (Ha-La)140 experiments mice and rats were injected intraperitonially with toxic doses of radiobarium. The weight curves indicate that there was definite retardation of growth in mice and 2.25 uc/g and in rats at 1.98 uc/g.

The Clinical Physiology of Dogs Exposed to Single Total-Body Doses of X-Rays

Description: A rational approach to therapy for irradiation damage must be based upon knowledge of the nature of the damage. This study of clinical physiology of dogs exposed to singe doses of total body X-radiation was undertaken to provide such a basis for therapy and to provide a basis for descriptions of the effects of specific project hazards.

The Interference of Nickel in the Reduction of Uranium Solutions in the Jones Reduction: a Study of the Effects of Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminum and Sodium Ions upon the Reduction

Description: Nickel interferes seriously with the reduction of uranyl solutions in the Jones reductor. Nickel ion, if added after reduction of a uranium solution has no harmful effect upon the aeration and the titration with standard ceric sulfate solution.
