The Use of Radioactive isotopes to Ascertain the Role of Root-Grafting in the Translocation of Water, Nutrients, and Disease-Producing Organism Among Forest Trees

Description: The translocation of water nutrients and disease agents within and between forest trees was studied by tracing the movement of poisons RbCO3 and spores labeled with Ag1101131 precipitate. The rate and relative amounts of translocation were determined by examining trunks and leaves for radioactivity at given time intervals. Data are presented graphically.

Structural Alterations in the Tissue Sections Associated with Embedding Following Freeze Drying

Description: Various types of tissue distortion and structural artifacts which occur in stained microscopic tissue sections are usually referred to as "fixation artifacts." These include, among other effects, shrinkage of cells (e.g. crenation of red cells, shrinkage of blood plasma away from vessel walls, and shrinkage of groups of cells producing microscopic empty spaces between structures within the tissue section. On the other hand, swelling and even rupture of cells (e.g. homolysis of red cells) is al… more

Thiomethyladenosine

Description: The mechanism of thiomethyladenosine accumulation in yeast was studied by attempting to substitute homocysteine methylmercaptane methylmercaptoethanol and methylome captopropionaldehyde for methionine as a specific precursor. Negative results militate against transmethylation as the underlying mechanism. Tracer studies with methyl-C14- and and S35-labeled methionine suggest transthiomethylation with intermediate formation of a thetin-like compound tentatively termed methionyladenosine. The occu… more

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Project. Progress Report for March 15, 1951 to September 1, 1951. Steady State Transients in Nuclear Resonance and the Nuclear Relaxation time. T2, for Hydrocarbons

Description: The Bloch formulation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is applied to a repeated pulsing of the external electromagnetic field H1. The steady-state solution is shown to predict the existence of sidebands, a mirror signal, and magnetic field inhomogeneity effects. All of these effects ae shown to be verified experimentally, thus strengthening the ap0plicibility of the Block formulation to transient problems. The solution given was used to determine T2 from the observed transient signals for liquid h… more

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Project. Progress Report III for 1 September 1951 to 15 March, 1952. Determination of the Accuracy of the Infinitely Repeated Pulse Method and the Observed Effects of Molecular Self Diffusion in Liquids

Description: The range of measurements of nuclear magnetic resonance by the infinitely repeated pulse method is higher than the slow passage method of Bloch. As the measurements approach 10-1 seconds the effect of viscosity or self diffusions becomes important. For liquid hydrocarbons this effect is such as to make the previously measured values for liquid hydrocarbons subject to severe revision. Several possibilities have recently become apparent for making this improvement.

Corrosion Product Activation and Transport in the S1C Primary Coolant System

Description: A model was developed to describe insoluble corrosion product activities and transport in systems where corroding sources are preactivated by exposure to high neutron fluxes. Equations were developed which keep the number of arbitrary constants to a minimum and define these constants so that they would be functions of the system conditions (velocity, Reynolds number, temperature, etc.). A sample calculation for water activity from 5.3 year cobalt 60 is given. The time dependent build up of inso… more

14-Year 113Cd

Description: The half lives of Cd/sup 113m/ and Cd/sup 115m/ have been redetermined to be 14 sintering time 2 years and 44.2 sintering time 0.5 days, respectively. The ratio of Cd/sup 113m/Cd/sup 115m/ yields from thermal-neutron fission of U/sup 235/ is 0.27 sintering time 0.03, and the ratio of (n, ) formation cross sections is 0.31 sintering time 0.03. Combination of these ratios with literature values for the Cd/sup 115m/ fission yield and (n, ) formation cross section gives (1.9 sintering time 0.2) x 1… more

Cost of Containment Features for Boiling Water Reactors for Argonne National Laboratory

Description: An analysis of the cost of containment features for nuclear power plants utilizing boiling water reactors was made. The two plants chosen for comparison were the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor at ANL and a hypothetical large scale nuclear power plant with an electrical capacity of 180 Mw. In order that a cost analysis could be made for the plant designs general arrangement drawings were prepared for each of the alternate arrangements considered.

The Armour Dust Fueled Reactor (ADFR). Final Report Covering the Period February 21, 1958 to February 21, 1959

Description: Dust circulation studies were conducted in a 2-in.diam. glass tubing loop, 5 x 5 ft, at gas velocities of 100 and 150 fps. Most of the studies were done with Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ in air, but some were done with U0/sub 2/2 in N/sub 2/ . Two-group criticality calculations for a graphite-reflected and moderated U/ sup 235/ burner gave approximate values of core size and fuel concentration. Investigation of axial variations in fuel density indicate that the axial neutron flux and power distributions d… more

Mass Transfer by High Temperature Liquid Sodium. Interim Progress Report 2

Description: Experiments were carried out in thermal convection loops in which sodium was induced by thermal convection to flow past a number of accurately weighed corrosion specimens located at close intervals throughout the entire temperature range existing within the loop. The specimens were accurately weighed prior to and following the test, and the weight changes were used as a measure of local mass transfer. Operating conditions, dimensions, materials, and temperature distributions are tabulated. (For… more

Department of Chemical Engineering Progress Report for September 1, 1957 Through June 30, 1958. Part I. Thermal Conductivity of Deuterium Oxide

Description: The thermal conductivity of heavy water was found to vary from 0.345 at 105 deg F through a maximum of 0.375 at about 265 deg F to 0.371 at 339 deg F. The conductivity was determined by a steady-state method in a cylindrical apparatus having an over-all length of 11.35 inches and a liquid layer about 0.061 inch thick. A temperature drop of approximately one degree Fahrenheit across the liquid was maintained. The temperature drop was measured with thermistors. The apparatus was calibrated with l… more

A Set of Basic Circuits : Report No. 86

Description: Most of the problems in present logical circuits for computers arise from the fact that the AND and OR circuits are non restoring in nature. Each circuit may contribute a level shift due to tolerances within the circuit or to external load differences. A set of circuits presented which represents a somewhat different view point. Every circuit restores the output signal to a standard condition. In general, rather than placing diode logic or level changing resistors after emitter follower inputs,… more
