Absorption and Turnover Rates of Iron Measured by the Whole Body Counter

Description: Human iron metabolism has been extensively studied in the past twenty-five years with the radioisotopes iron⁵⁵ and iron⁵⁹. Before the availability of the whole body counter, however, iron absorption studies were performed by the indirect methods of fecal assay of unabsorbed radioiron, and estimation of red cell incorporation of absorbed tracer. The few long-term excretion studies performed required numerous assumptions, since human iron excretion was less well understood. Whole body counting pr… more

Determination of Cholesterol Digitonide with Anthrone

Description: A new colorimetric method for the determination of cholesterol has been investigated. It makes use of the relatively stable green color given by a purified digitonin precipitate with the anthrone reagent of Dreywood. Equal precision can be obtained with the new method using 1/10 or less of the quantity of material required for present colorimetric methods.

Future Program for the Cern PS and the Brookhaven AGS

Description: The alternating-gradient proton synchrotrons at CERN and Brookhaven are very similar in size, design and in their experimental use. For this reason, collaboration between the groups at CERN and Brookhaven has been close throughout the history of these two machines. For the most part this has taken the form of exchanges of visits of individual machine designers and of high-energy physicists. By 1962, however, it appeared that the reciprocal flow of information was not adequate and a more formal … more

The Influence of Radiation-Produced Defects on the Precipitation of Carbon in Iron

Description: Iron containing approximately 0.01 wt. % carbon was quenched from 700°C and irradiated in the BNL reactor at 57°C for various lengths of time. The rate of decay of the Snoek internal friction peak was observed at 57°C after irradiation. After a 4-hour irradiation the rate of decay of the peak was one order of magnitude faster than the rate of decay in an unirradiated specimen. Longer irradiation times up to 48 hours caused no further acceleration of the decay rate. This observation implies that… more

Internal Target System and Induced Radioactivity at the AGS

Description: When the Brookhaven AGS started operation in the summer of 1960 very little experience with targeting in strong focusing proton synchrotrons was available. While it was evident that targeting techniques would differ markedly from those used in weak focusing machines, only actual running experience would set the proper parameters for a truly satisfactory targeting system. It was, therefore, an advantage that temporary targeting devices were used initially. Work on a more permanent system was not… more

Measured Vibrational Frequency Distributions of Ni, V, Ti, and Ti.67-Zr.33

Description: The BNL cold neutron facility has been used to obtain inelastic scattering cross section data from three first-row transition elements, titanium, vanadium, and nickel, and a random binary alloy Ti.67-Zr.33. From the data, we have computed vibrational frequency distributions exhibit peaks corresponding to major critical points. A comparison of the distributions from the different samples leads to the following conclusions: 1) The shape of the frequency distributions of the b.c.c. metal (V) and f… more

Measurements of Neutron Resonance Parameters

Description: The subject of this paper is the experimental and technical aspects of the measurements of nuclear resonance parameters. I will confine my remarks to those reactions induced by low energy neutrons, i.e. neutrons of less than approximately 100 kilovolts. The bulk of these measurements have been performed by neutron time-of-flight techniques, and I will direct my attention to these techniques. The first half of this discussion will concern the apparatus with which these measurements are made; the… more

Recovery of U from Pyrolytic Carbon-Coated UC2 Spheroids

Description: 100% recovery of uranium from pyrolytic carbon-coated spheroids of uranium dicarbide has been accomplished by an aqueous electrolytic process at the small scale laboratory level. This result was obtained in a system which circulated 1 molar nitric acid through a thin bed of the spheres. The bed was supported between a glass frit and the anode, with which the bed was in contact. The anode was a spiral of platinum wire; the cathode was a grid of titanium wire. Current density was about 0.2 amp/cm… more

A Sublimation Pump

Description: During a visit to Professor H.G. Harb at the University of Wisconsin, it was apparent that he had succeeded in obtaining fresh, clean chemisorptive layers of titanium by sublimation and chat that this could be adapted into an effective high vacuum pump. Two previous techniques of obtaining a chemisorptive layer of titanium, namely catholic sputtering and evaporation from the liquid droplet, have been extensively investigated and reported. Each of these seem to have inherent difficulties in stab… more
