Antibody Formation by Transplanted Bone Marrow, Spleen, Lymph Node and Thymus Cells in Irradiated Recipients

Description: The role of the marrow as a site for antibody formation has been considered for many years. In 1912 Ludke reported the appearance of antibody in cultures of marrow cells obtained from previously immunized rabbits. Specific agglutinins for killed typhoid bacilli and lysins for ox red cells and sheep red cells were detected in the culture media 2 to 5 days later. However, the cultured cells failed to produce antibody when these antigens were added to the media. Similar findings by Reiter, Przygod… more

Bromine Exchange in Graphite-Bromine Lamellar Compounds

Description: A kinetic study of the exchange of normal and radioactive bromine in graphite-bromine lamellar compounds has been made at temperatures of 30° to 50°C. Natural and synthetic graphite powders were investigated. Two alternative mechanisms for the exchange, volume diffusion and surface exchange, were considered. The data were in better agreement with the diffusion mechanism. Diffusion coefficients of 10 -9 to 10 -8 cm2/sec and an activation energy of 11 to 14 kcal/mole were calculated for the natur… more

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

Fluorimetric Assay of α-Chymotrypsin

Description: The enzymolysis by α-chymotrypsin of the substrates, N-acetyl-L-tryptophane ethyl ester and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester, was followed by means of fluorescence whose intensity increased fourfold and threefold per mole respectively as substrate was transformed into amino acid. The assay by fluorescence was several orders of magnitude more sensitive than the assay by differential absorption spectra of these substances and was in agreement with it in those concentration regions where both metho… 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

An Isochronal Differential Microcalorimeter

Description: An isochronal differential-type microcalorimeter has been designed and constructed. As a result of its simple design it is very easy to handle the samples and assemble the calorimeter. Important to the operation of the calorimeter is a program, also working on the differential principle, that provides linear temperature rise of the samples. This calorimeter is used to measure very small energy releases such as those found in precipitation, stored energy, etc. It is demonstrated that the calorim… more

A Re-Analysis of Short-Range Order in Cu3Au

Description: Cowley's measurements of the short-range order parameters, αi, in Cu3Au at T=405°C have been re-evaluated taking into account the effects of thermal vibrations and static displacements due to differing atomic sizes. The separate corrections for the thermal vibrations and the first-neighbor atomic size factor are found to be quite large, demonstrating their importance in the usual experiments. When combined, the corrections in this case largely cancel, and only the values of α1 and α3 are apprec… more

Wave Functions for Quadrupole Antishielding Factors

Description: The purpose of this paper is to present tables of the perturbed wave functions which have been recently obtained in a calculation of the quadruple antishielding factors γ∞ for the Mn+2, Fe+3, Ga+3, and Ag+ ions. The wave functions v'1(nℓ-ℓ) which are tabulated represent the effect of the perturbation due to a nuclear quadruple moment Q on the wave functions of the outermost electrons of the ion core.

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.

The Strontium-Strontium Hydride Phase System

Description: Technical report. From Abstract : "The Sr-SrH2 phase diagram was studied by thermal analysis, chemical analysis of equilibrated phases and X-ray diffraction. The maximum solubility of SrH2 in strontium metal is 38 mole % at the peritectic temperature of 880°C. Strontium metal undergoes an allotropic transformation at 555°C and melts at 768°C. A second transformation was found, at about 240°C, in samples containing hydrogen. Strontium hydride was found to have an allotropic transformation at 855… more

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

Studies of the Rapid Beam Ejector at the Cosmotron

Description: For an experiment to measure the magnetic moment of the Λ hyperon, it was necessary to extract the external beam of the Cosmotron with maximum efficiency and with minimum time duration. To accomplish this end, the standard external beam of the machine was supplemented with the Rapid Beam Ejector. It was found that, unfortunately, the ejection efficiency of the beam was less than normal when the RBE was used. Measurements of the ejection efficiency were made by irradiating polyethylene foils at … 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

The Calculation of Zero-Point Energies of Molecules by Perturbation Methods

Description: Two methods are proposed for calculating zero-point energies of molecules. The first makes use of the fact that one can easily write down the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian for a vibration system. The zero-point energy can then be obtained by a perturbation scheme without solving the secular equation. The second method requires a knowledge of the normal modes and frequencies of a reference molecule, but then enables one to calculate isotope effects by a perturbation scheme. The methods are appl… more
