Molecular Geometry and the Vapor Pressures of Isotopic Ethylenes: Chemical and Structural Isomers

Description: The theory of isotope effects on vapor pressures for systems with large quantum effects, as manifested by the cross-over phenomenon and deviation from the rule of the mean, is illustrated by the large body of experimental data on the isotopic ethylenes which has recently become available. An effect of molecular geometry was found, viz. a difference in vapor pressures of cis-, trans- . and gemdideuteroethylenes. This was shown to be related to the hindered rotation about the C=C axis in the liqu… more

The Ultraviolet Sensitivity of Frozen Phage

Description: Recent reports (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) suggest that the crystalline structure of ice permits unusual forms of energy relationships and that the structured state of water may be of importance in the whole cell. A number of biologically interesting compounds show significantly altered responses to the excitation energy of ultraviolet light in ice as compared to the liquid state. This paper describes the effect of a change in phase state on a biologically active nucleoprotein, a bacteriophage particle. Ph… more

Radiation Damage in Graphite. II. Consecutive and Steady State Reactions of Interstitial Complexes

Description: Periodically irradiated and annealed graphites show property changes that are markedly different from the changes after the first irradiation and anneal. Evidence is presented indicating the existence of consecutive reactions between interstitial complexes that lead to steady state concentrations of the intermediate species in a chain. The steady state concentrations result in dimensional recoveries and stored energy releases that do not increase with irradiation as they do in continuously irra… more

Mechanisms of Liquid Metal Corrosion

Description: The driving force for liquid metal corrosion is the equilization of chemical potential for dissolution of all solid surfaces in contact with the liquid. In any practical system, this is an impossible goal; therefore, one observes several mass transfer processes.

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

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.

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

Reflections on Pools

Description: A pool of material in steady-state turnover is a collection of identical molecules from which deletions are made at a constant rate, along with simultaneous addition of new identical molecules at the same rate, the total pool size remaining unchanged. It is of interest to consider what may be expected in the way of such pools among the various chemical species which can be isolated from biological systems. It is clear what the model requires, i.e. any molecule belonging to the pool must have as… 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

A Time-Shared Computer Data Collection System at the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor

Description: The increasing complexity of the data of nuclear physics has led to widespread interest in the possibility of utilizing a digital computer for on-line data collection. Through the combined efforts of the Instrumentation Division and the Neutron Physics group at Brookhaven such a system has been placed into operation. Several features of this system are believed to be unique and of interest to research groups centered about a major facility like a reactor or an accelerator.

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

Perturbation Techniques for the Deflecting Mode

Description: The descriptive parameters of a waveguide with smooth or periodic structure are most easily measured in a waveguide section of suitable length which is transformed into a resonant cavity by placing short circuits at both ends. Measurements of dispersion diagram, phase velocity, group velocity, voltage attenuation coefficient, shunt impedance, field configuration, etc. all involve some form of perturbation technique. The introduction of a perturbing object in a resonant cavity changes the stored… more

The Nature of the Hydrogen Bond in the Bifluoride Ion

Description: We undertook the present diffraction study of the bifluoride ion in sodium acid fluoride and the present refinement of the earlier data on potassium acid fluoride with the hope of obtaining more accurate information not only on the position of the hydrogen atom, but also on the vibrations of the ion. We felt that it would be through the combination of information on the motions of the system from diffraction and spectroscopic studies that the question of the symmetry of the ion could be settled… more

Lens Opacification in Mice Exposed to Monoenergetic Fast Neutrons

Description: Early effects obtained with monoenergetic fast neutrons in mice have been described elsewhere. Emphasis in this report will be placed on the late effects of lens opacification (cataractogenesis), particularly during the period soon after irradiation with low or fractionated doses of neutrons at two energy levels, or X-rays. Considerations will also be given to the influence of age at time of irradiation upon the induction of lens opacities. Both studies are continuing, with periodic slit-lamp m… more

RBE of Monoenergetic Fast Neutrons: Cytogenetic Effects in Maize

Description: Investigations on the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of densely ionizing radiations (with high LET, rate of linear energy transfer) are of importance in both fundamental and applied radiobiology. In the latter, they serve as a basis in setting permissible exposure levels for types of radiation about which little long range experience is available. Some of the best RBE studies have been done on chromosomal aberrations. The difficulty is determining RBE on the basis of chromosomal exchan… more

Reutilization of DNA-Thymine, and Conversion of RNA-Pyrimidines for DNA-Thymine, in Normal Rat Bone Marrow Studies with Tritiated Nucleosides

Description: If one injects into an animal H3-thymidine, 50% of it is incorporated into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), within approximately 30 to 45 minutes, while the rest is catabolized. A storage of H3-thymidine for later incorporation into DNA does not occur, on the basis of available evidence. Once incorporated, the label remains bound to DNA until cell death and no unequivocal evidence has as yet been presented to indicate metabolic renewal or intracellular turnover of the DNA molecule. The loss of labe… more

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.

Use of Neutron Irradiations in the Brookhaven Mutations Program

Description: In brief, these facilities consist of a 250 KvP X-ray generator; two areas of a research reactor, one a well thermalized unit of moderate capacity and a larger area with a mixed thermal and fast neutron distribution, all of which are used for brief, acute exposure. A 10 acre field, currently with almost 4000 curies of cobalt 60, serves to irradiate entire plants for either short or long periods of time. Recently, the flux density of the thermal column was increased by a factor of 5 over the ori… more
