Neutron Activation Analysis: Clinical and Biological Studies of Manganese

Description: A strong motivation for metabolic investigations of essential metals lies with the simple fact that these elements are primordial metabolites and building blocks of living matter, a truism largely forgotten today. Among them, the metals of the first transition group display high physical and chemical flexibility: They can concomitantly coordinate natural or artificial ligands; they can regulate electron and proton transport; they can act as catalysts or as cofactors to catalysis.

Manganese Poisoning - New Insights

Description: The heavy metal intoxications involving the brain may be divided into two groups: One, in which the offending metal is clearly a poison, such as mercury or lead; and a second, in which the offending agent is normally an essential constituent of the body. The latter category would include manganese poisoning, copper poisoning (or Wilson's disease) and, if some recent data are valid, Huntington's chorea, in which iron seems to have been implicated. Our interest in the second category of diseases … more

Spert III Spun Cast Pipe Experience

Description: Centrifugally cast stainless steel piping was selected for the primary piping of Spert III, a 2500-psi, 650 deg F water moderated and cooled nuclear reactor system, because of the significant cost advantage of using cast piping and because of favorable results from metallurgical examinations of the material. Essentially no operating experience was available at that time on the performance of cast piping in elevated pressure and temperature service. Presented are a brief history of operational e… more

Vapor-Liquid Equilibria for Aqueous Sulfuric Acid

Description: The composition of the vapor phase over sulfuric acid has not been measured experimentally because of the low volatility of H{sub 2}SO{sub 4}. A method is described for calculating the partial pressures of H{sub 2}O, H{sub 2}SO{sub 4}, and SO{sub 3} based upon liquid-phase partial-molal thermodynamic quantities. Tables and graphs are provided which give the above partial pressures from -50 to 400 C at thirty-six compositions between 10 and 100 weight-percent acid.

Light-Droven Cytochrome Reactions in Anacystis and Euglena

Description: The basic similarity in cytochrome physiology between Anacystis nidulans ad Euglena gracilis, strains Z, is impressive in view of their gross dissimilarities in size, structure, and pigment content. We have investigated the cytochrome reactions by sensitive spectrophotometric methods in order to gain some insight into the patterns of energy transfer from the various light receptors to the reaction centers involved in the two photochemical reactions of green plant photosynthesis and also to eluc… more

Effect of Long-Range Interactions on Order

Description: Harrison and Paskin (HP) have calculated the ordering energy of β-CuZn using recent theoretical techniques of treating electron screening and Mott's polar model of an alloy. Good agreement is obtained between the calculated total energy of the order-disorder transformation and specific heat measurements. A consequence of the HP calculation is that the ordering energy is long-range and oscillates in sign. Walker and Keating recently measured the neutron diffuse scattering of β-CuZn above the cri… more

Fabrication Development of U-Mo-UO$sub 2$ and U-Mo-UC Dispersion Fuels for the ENRICO Fermi Fast-breeder Reactor

Description: The fabricability of dispersion fuels using UO/sub 2/ or UC as the dispersoid and uranium combined with 10 to 15 wt% Mo as the matrix was investigated. Cores containing l7.8 wt% UO/sub 2/ dispersed in U-- 15 wt.% Mo were successfully fabricated to about 80% of theoretical density by cold pressing at 50 tsi, sintering at 1100 deg C, and cold coining at 50 tsi. Comparable results were obtained with UC as the dispersoid. Core fabrication results varied greatly with the type of matrix powder used. … more

Past Analogue Multipliers with Field-Effect Transistors

Description: The solution time of analogue multipliers using field-effect transistors is investigated. This time is ultimately limited by the charging time of the field-effect transistor junction. In typical devices suitable for analogue multiplication the charging time is found to be about 10-20 nsec less than one percent. A four quadrant pulse amplitude multiplier circuit is described, whose solution time is equal to the field-effect transistor charging time.

Pump Loops Used for Materials Testing in High Temperature Aqueous Solutions and Slurries

Description: Pump loops designed to operate at temperatures and pressures to 320 deg C and 2000 psia are described. The loops were used to circulate uranyl sulfate solutions and aqueous thoria slurries in out-of-pile tests for the aqueous homogeneous reactor program. As this phase of the aqueous homogeneous reactor program was completed, the loops were converted for use in studies of materials of interest to other types of reactors. Solutions or slurries are circulated in the loops by means of a 100-gpm can… more

The Use of Low Energy Radioactive Isotopes in The Examination of Paintings on Thin Supports

Description: The importance of the examination of paper and textile supported art objects by means of low energy X-rays has been ably discussed in the preceding papers of this session. The apparatus used for such radiography, however, has tended to be both expensive and confined to laboratory use. A lack of mobility arises from the weight and size of X-ray apparatus and the fact that its installation frequently requires shielding and special electric power lines. An inexpensive radiographic apparatus that r… more

High Pressure Research at Low Temperatures

Description: Two principle reasons exist for the extension of high pressure research to temperatures near absolute zero. First, the comparison of certain data with theory (such as the pressure-volume relationship) is more meaningful if the effects of thermal vibrations can be ignored. Second, there are phenomena which can be studied only at low temperatures. These include superconductivity, the properties of solid helium and other inert gases, some electronic phenomena, etc.

Transistorized 10-Mc Decade Scaler

Description: This scaler was designed to replace an obsolescent tube design that was in general use at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore. The new design, using solid state devices and printed circuit modules, allows two complete scalers in one frame to occupy the same rack space as the tube design. Switches in the input circuits of the new scaler change input impedance and sensitivity for operation with either tube or transistor circuits. The use of transistors has greatly increased reliability, an… more
