The Effect of Chronic Gamma Radiation on the Production of Somatic Mutations in Carnations

Description: Chronic gamma radiation from a Ce60 source has been found to be effective in producing genetic mutations of endosperm characters in maize. Also, that the mutation rate increased more sharply than the increase in dose rate, giving an exponential relationship when mutation rate was [illegible] against dose rate. It was desired to test this finding with another organism also to study mutations in somatic rather than germinal tissue. Carnations were chosen for this study. It was thought that somati… more

A Bond-Cell Method for Complex Molecules and Metals

Description: This technical report introduces "some approximations into the basic quantum mechanical theory" so that the theory of the covalent bond and the molecular orbital method "can be combined into one which will yield quantitative rather than qualitative binding energies and cohesive energies and also distinct energy levels and band structure." This approach will provide a common method "suitable to both solid state physicists and physical chemists, for calculating the energy levels in metals and com… more

Isotope Effects on Intermolecular Interactions and Isotopic Vapor Pressure Differences

Description: From summary: "The isotope effect on the van der Waals interaction resulting from vibrational excitation terms has been discussed in great detail to show that it is a zero-point energy effect. Interaction between rotational, transistional, and vibrational motion in the condensed phase has been also discussed in detail in terms of a very simple model. By use of approximation methods, the order of magnitude of these effects is demonstrated and it is shown that consideration of them is of importan… more

Free Radicals Formed on u.V. Irradiation of o-Nitrobenzaldehyde

Description: This technical report describes the chemistry process of photolysis which was carried out within a Varian 4500 EPR spectrometer. Through this process, it was found that free radicals form both in a powder and in solutions of o-nitrobenzaldehyde. It was found that the formation of free radicals on irradiation of substituted nitrobenzenes was specific for compounds which undergo the photoinduced rearrangement to nitrosocompounds. The report then details the process undertaken to identify the free… more

The Somatic Mutation Theory of Aging: Its Application in Irradiated and Non-Irradiated Livers of Mice

Description: From introduction: "The somatic mutation theory of aging proposes an increased frequency of somatic mutation sin tissue cells with age. The present series of experiments concern themselves with the expression of these mutations in the irradiated and non-irradiated livers of mice and their place in the aging phenomenon. In this work visible chromosome aberrations are the somatic mutations recorded as an index of genetic change."

Equations for Bilateral Heat Transfer to Fluids Flowing in Concentric Annuli

Description: Abstract: "Theoretical equations have been derived for calculating heat transfer coefficients for fluids flowing through concentric annuli for the following two cases: (A) constant and equal heat fluxes from both walls, and (B) constant, but unequal, heat fluxes from the walls, with equal wall temperatures at a given axial position along annular channel. In the derivations, the conditions of fully-established flow, and independence of physical properties with temperature variation across the fl… more

A Needle in a Haystack

Description: Abstract: "Production of [rho]'s and [omega]'s in [pi]- + p and p + [letter p with a bar over it] interactions is discussed. The [rho] is presumably a J = 1-, 1 = 1 state and thus can decay into 2[pi]'s via a strong coupling. The [omega] is probably J = 1-, 1 = 0 which can also decay into 2[pi]'s via electromagnetic coupling. A theoretical description of this situation is presented in terms of coupled time-dependent Schroedinger equations which mix [rho] and [omega] states that are assumed to b… more
