Mode Identification in the Iris-Loaded Waveguide of a RF Particle Separator

Description: The theoretical and practical aspects of the accelerating mode (TM01) in iris-loaded waveguides have been covered extensively in many reports and publications. The pulse shortening observed in linacs and the possible application of an iris-loaded waveguides as the deflecting structure for rf particle separators stimulated the interest in the nature of higher order modes. Some experimental results on higher order modes in iris-loaded waveguides are available in references. Results of studies don… more

Secondary Tetanus Antitoxin Responses in Mice Elicited Prior to Irradiation

Description: Secondary tetanus antitoxin responses were abolished in mice when sublethal radiation doses of 650 rads were delivered by short-term exposure 3 hr before the second injection of antigen. Nearly normal secondary responses were observed when the same radiation doses were delivered 4 days after antigenic stimulation, and sera were obtained 8 days later. Radiosensitivity of the seemingly radioresistart secondary antibody responses was demonstrated by ultimate repression of antitoxin titers when rad… more

Effects of Trichinella Spiralis Infection on Incorporation of Amino Acids into Serum and Hemoglobin

Description: Encysted Trichinella spiralis larvae incorporated carbon-14 from mice fed diets containing C14 -labeled glycerine and DL-alanine. In general, a higher level of C14 activity (C14 per gram of dry tissue) was found in muscle larvae than in muscle tissue. The presence of encysted Trichinella larvae in the muscles of 56-day and 180-day infected mice did not alter incorporation of C14 from these amino acids into infected muscle protein when compared with noninfected muscle. These experiments were ext… more

Thermal Conductance of Metallic Surfaces in Contact

Description: "Research in thermal contact resistance at MIT and advances made during the past year are summarized. The problem of predicting cortact resistance is examined in an analysis of a model for the contact which relates the geometry of actual surfaces in contact to the contact model, and a deformation analysis which relates the contact geometry to the load carried by the surfaces. Experimental procedures are described and are applied to two stainless steel surfaces in contact and to W and graphite s… more

Performance of Cesium Thermionic Diodes Operated in Series-Parallel Circuits

Description: S>Electrical power degradation from the operation of many series- parallel circuited cesium diodes in a thermionic reactor must be considered when a norflattened nuclear power distribution exists over the volume of the reactor core. This experimert measures the loss of power and efficiency due to unequal heat inputs to series- or parallel-connected diodes, and studies the operating characteristics of a multiple-diode system. The results are applied to a specific thermionic reactor configuration… more

PILOT EVALUATION OF VANADIUM ALLOYS. Bimonthly Report No. 8, November 18, 1962-January 17, 1963

Description: Experimental vanadium-niobium base alloys were fabricated to sheet from 200-gram arc-melted ingots. The composition V--60 wt% Nb--1 wt% Zr--0.075 wt% C had ultimate tensile strength values of 97,000, 77,000, and 20,000 psi at 1800, 2000, and 2400 deg F, respectively. On a density-corrected basis, the values up to 2000 deg F were the highest of all materials studied under this and the preceding programs. The V-40 wt % Nb-30 wt% Ta--1 wt% Hf alloy had higher 2400 deg F strength (25,400 psi) but l… more

The Function of Bridging Groups in Electron-Transfer Reactions

Description: Electron-transfer reactions involving bridged transition states are examined from the point of view of adiabatic electron transfer theory. One important function of the bridging group is to decrease the effective dipole moment of the charge system of the reaction ions. The effect on the activation energy is different for outer-sphere and inner-sphere reactions. Trends in the halide and hydroxide catalysis of isotopic exchange reactions of transition metal ions are discussed.

Crystal Structure of a Sodium Cobalt Molybdate

Description: The cobalt and molybdenum positions had been derived from a three-dimensional Patterson function based on complete data out to λ-1 sin θMo≈ 1. From the separation of the separation of the Mo atoms it was thought that the structure contained free, unlinked MoO4 -2 ions, and this, together with the observed density and analyses for Co and Mo, suggested that the composition was probably Co2(MoO4)3. The paucity of structural information on complex oxide systems and the interesting properties, both … more

The History of the Brookhaven Biology Department Mouse Colony No. 1 (Swiss-Bridge-Bagg-O'Grady-Walter Reed Strain) With Endemic Occult Cerebral Encephalitozoönosis and Colony No. 2

Description: Innes, Zemen, Frenkel, Borner and Wright (1962) described an outbreak of encephalitozoönosis of the central nervous system in mice, a summary of which is given below for an understanding of why this appendix may be of interest. When the paper was presented for publication, the editors of the journal decided to omit the history of our mouse colony. In our opinion, to understand (a) how this infection may have arisen and (b) may have spread, and still exist in some colonies, it is of prime import… more

Abscopal Effects of Localized Irradiation by Accelerator Beams

Description: The aim of this series of experiments was to evaluate the existence of abscopal effects of irradiation. No attempt was made towards the elucidation of mechanisms. Very early in the history of radiological research it was noticed radiation produces both local and general effects involving the entire body. Gauss and Lembcke introduced the term "Roentgenkater" (radiation sickness). They ascribed these "General Effects" to the circulation of toxic substances released from cells that disintegrated f… more

BURNOUT CONDITIONS FOR SINGLE ROD IN ANNULAR GEOMETRY, WATER AT 600 TO 1400 PSIA

Description: Tests were run to determine burnout conditions for sn electrically heated rod in a circular tube with an annular flow path for the upward water flow. The conditions correspond to those which might exist in a reactor core. The burnout results for the basic test geometry (straight concentric annulus) showed that a plot of burnout heat flux vs quality is a straight line with a negative slope, and that the burnout heat flux is increased by a decrease in flow or an increase in pressure, while the hy… more

Porosity gain from increase in core radius and fuel mass in Tory II-C

Description: A set of calculations has been done to determine the amount by which the volume of solid material in a Tory II-C core can be reduced with respect to the total core volume. Three separate problems were studied. In each case, some change was made which by itself would increase the K[sub eff] of the reactor. Then, in order to keep K[sub eff] unchanged, a certain amount of core material was removed. The calculations were done by means of the one-dimensional neutronic diffusion code ZOOM. The base p… more

Elimination of Phases the Life Cycle of Leukemic Cells From in Vivo Labeling in Human Beings With Tritiated Thymidine

Description: Our earlier in vitro studies have suggested that malignant tumors may not produce new cells more rapidly than normal cells are produced in the "steady state" equilibrium. Obviously tumors of all typed represent a diversion from "steady state" production with a net gain in mass of tissue. However, the increase in mass is not necessarily constant and may fluctuate in the natural history of the disorder. DNA labeling with tritiated thymidine had made it possible to characterize normal "steady stat… more

A DISCUSSION AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CURRENT LITERATURE CONCERNING VAN ALLEN BELTS FOR USE IN SNAP SPACE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Description: Discussion of theories on particle motion in electric and magnetic fields precedes examination of theories on the source of the inner and outer Van Allen belts. Theories for the inner belt propose solar cosmic ray injection and galactic cosmic ray injection as the source of the protons. Neutron albedo is particularly examined but seems to be unaccountable for the proton belt. Neutron albedo and injection from the sun are also considered as possible sources of the electrons in the outer belt. Fl… more

Preliminary report on CX-2 N-inner fuel tube number 1055-8

Description: The real cost of metallurgical examination of irradiated fuel elements is several times that of fuels before irradiation. Since post-irradiation study is necessary to determine the performance of prototype fuel designs in a reactor environment, complete physical characterization before irradiation provides an economical and efficient basis for comparing experimental data. Without such comparative study, unexpected damage to fuels in the reactor would be difficult, if not impossible, to interpre… more
