Fission Fragment Energy Deposition Efficiency

Description: Technical report describing how to estimate the energy deposition efficiency of the kinetic energy of recoiling fragments from nuclear fission in a chemically reacting system. Since it is not always possible to directly measure the deposition the report describes how to estimate through the aid of fission fragment range data.

A New Chlorophyll from Green Bacteria

Description: The green photosynthetic bacteria are characterized by the presence of either chlorobium chlorophyll (bacterioviridin)-65o or chlorobium chlorophyll-66o (numerical designation based on the position of the red-absorption peak in ether) z. Most strains of Chlorobium contain chlorophyll-66o which has its major red peak between 74 ° and 75 ° m/~ in FiFo. KATZ AND WASSINK z first reported an additional minor absorption peak at 81o mF for Chlorobium limicola in vivo and a corresponding minor peak at … more

The Biological Effects of heavy Cosmic Ray Particles

Description: Technical report investigates creating a microbeam of deuterons to simulate cosmic rays and the results of brain irradiation, irradiation of the eye, and irradiation of hair follicles of mice. The report's conclusion was that "astronauts exposed to heavy primary particles over a period of some weeks would be expected to develop gray hairs, but this is the only significant biological damage they would suffer."

The Solvent Extraction of Thorium by Thenoyltrifluoroacetone and the Influence of Aqueous Complexation by the Chelating Agent

Description: Technical report investigating the solvent extraction of thorium. The solvent extraction of thorium by the chelating agent, thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA), has proved to be a very effective tool for studying the complex ion chemistry of thorium. This study led to the establishment of the existence of aqueous complexation by the chelating agent.
