We call for the promotion of faculty innovation & entrepreneurship (I&E), across disciplines, and its recognition in promotion and tenure processes– thereby enabling universities to better serve as a talent and idea engine for the Nation’s innovation economy, and evolve and respond in a time of enhanced societal needs and...
Refractory inclusions from Kaba (CV3) chondrite were studied by
instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and electron probe
microanalysis (EPMA). The inclusions observed cover a wide range of
chemical patterns, mineral assemblages and textures, indicating the
complexity of early solar nebular conditions. The elemental
abundances normalized by Cl chondritic abundances vary...
Instrumental and radiochemical neutron activation analyses supported by electron microprobe mineral analyses (Paul Warren, University of New Mexico) and petrographic observations are presented for approximately forty individual clasts separated from the Kapoeta howardite. These clasts are classified into eucritic, cumulate-like, mafic (plagioclase ± olivine-bearing pyroxenites), pyroxenite, polymict and/or metal-rich and...
Major and minor minerals have been separated from
three L-6 chondritic meteorites (Alfianello, Colby (Wisconsin),
and Leedey). Olivine, hypersthene, diopside, feldspar,
troilite, chromite, phosphate minerals, and metallic
minerals were analyzed for major, minor and trace elements
using instrumental neutron activation analysis and radiochemical
neutron activation analysis techniques. Concentrations
df the...
Few discoveries of any importance have been the result of a moment's happy coincidence; rather have they been the fruit of many hours of tedious thought and experiment. This is especially true in the realm of organic chemistry. Here, where progress is made only by the most painstaking experimentation, extensive...
Studies were undertaken to determine the extent and rate of
binding of Hg-203 labeled phenylmercuric acetate and mercuric ace
tate in rat kidney and liver slices and their subcellular fractions
after 37°C incubation of the slices in Krebs-Ringer -phosphate solutions
containing the mercurials at 10⁻⁴ molar. A fast and parallel...
While the d⁰ transition-metal POMs of Group V (V⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺, Ta⁵⁺) and Group VI (Mo⁶⁺, W⁶⁺) have been known for more than a century, the actinyl peroxide POMs, specifically those built of uranyl triperoxide or uranyl dihydroxidediperoxide polyhedra, were only realized within the last decade. While virtually every metal on...
