The total kinetic energy (TKE) in the fast neutron induced fission of 237Np was measured for neutron energies from En = 2.6 – 45.7 MeV at the LANSCE- WNR facility. The postTKE release decreases non-linearly with increasing incident neutron energy and can be represented as TKE(MeV) = (169.365 ± 1.551)...
A tracer method utilizing stable activable tracers (involving rare earth nuclides with short-lived t[subscript 1/2] < 1 day} activation products) for tracing fluid bound substances in fresh water is explored. Simulated laboratory studies showed these tracers (Dy and in) when chelated with diethylenetriamine2entaacetic acid a7i1W to be stable ( <20%)...
The cocondensation reactions of molybdenum trioxide vapor with
tetraalkoxysilanes, trimethylalkoxysilanes, and hexamethyldisiloxane
at -196°C were investigated. The products from the metal vapor
reactions of tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, and tetrapropoxysilane
were characterized as molybdenum(VI)dioxodialkoxy compounds. The isolated compounds were found to be polymeric in the
solid state by bridging through alkoxide groups....
Fluorescence of adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, and uracil
has been detected at room temperature in neutral aqueous solution
using a digital signal accumulation technique and right angle fluorescence
detection from solutions with absorbances between 0. 4 and 0. 7.
The quantum yields are respectively 2.6 x 10⁻⁴, 3.0 x 10⁻⁴,...
The spectrophone method for the study of vibrational relaxation
has been claimed to possess a distinct advantage over the more commonly
used ultrasonic techniques in that it permits the relaxation of
the various infrared-active vibrational modes in a polyatomic molecule
to be studied separately. A discussion of the rate equations...
The 3-cyclohexenyl carbinyl carbene species was formed by the
thermal decomposition of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone sodium
salt and by oxidation of the hydrazone. Several oxidizing agents
were studied. The products were investigated under aprotic and
protic conditions and at various temperatures. The diazocompound
was formed as an intermediate and found to...
