Experimental Usefulness of the Kangaroo Rat

Description: Abstract. The kangaroo rat is readily tamed and has certain characteristics that make it unique and of interest in highly specialized research programs. Studies were conducted on its ability to exist on a dried diet with only a bare minimum of water and that obtained from succulent plants. Hematological studies indicate that the kangaroo rat exhibits a different hematological distribution of cells than the mouse or rat. The lymphocyte constitutes 81.4% of the total leuokocytes. The hematocrit h… more

Measurement of Dynamic Surface Tension in Bubbling Systems

Description: The static and dynamic surface tension was measured for aqueous solutions of eleven surface-active agents for the purpose of studying the effect of surface tension upon boiling heat transfer. The surfactants were chosen from the Tween, Aerosol, and Hyonic series. Dynamic surface tension, at T = 90 deg C, was investigated by observing the volume and frequency for air bubbles forming from a submerged orifice. Static surface tension, at T = 100 deg C, was measured using a duNouy tensiometer. In al… more

THE PRINCIPLES AND MEASUREMENT OF FISSION-FRAGMENT TIMES OF FLIGHT

Description: Thesis submitted to University of Tennessee, Knoxville. A double time- of-flight apparatus constructed for measurements on fission fragments is described, and the theory and procedures for the measurements are outlined. The accuracy of the technique, limitations of the apparatus, and physical factors affecting the measurements are analyzed. 44 references. (D.C.W.)
