Creator:: Lappenbusch, William L.
Abstract:: More than 2,000 male newts were collected during the summer and maintained unfed at 10°C both pre- and post-irradiation. Exposures ranging up to 30 kR were given with 300 kVp X-rays and ⁶⁰Co gamma rays. Half of the newts were injected (I. P.) with 15 g DMSO/kg (the maximum sublethal...

Creator:: Valett, Bryan Batson
Abstract:: The uptake, retention, and distribution of ⁶⁰Co, ⁶⁵Zn, ⁸⁵ Sr, and ¹³¹I was examined in the Rough-Skinned Newt (Taricha granulosa). Each of these radionuclides is a possible contaminant of the freshwater environment and, thus, is of importance in radioecology. The newts were maintained singly at 10° C in an unfed...

Creator:: Lei, Wayne
Abstract:: A study was performed to assess the uptake and retention patterns of cesium-134 in the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller. To furnish a realistic source of contaminated food for the voles, wheat seedlings were raised in hydroponic solutions to provide radiocesium labeled wheat clippings. The hydroponic system was designed to...

Creator:: Whitfield, Stephen Curtiss
Abstract:: The testes of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus Miller) exhibited a high affinity for selenium relative to other selected tissues. Uptake of selenium-75 in the testis-epididymis complex was delayed relative to uptake by the whole body, kidney, and liver. This pattern of uptake suggested that selenium was metabolically incorporated into...

Creator:: Campbell, Carol Lee
Abstract:: This was a study designed to determine the occurrence of recovery from radiation damage in Taricha granulosa. Irradiation with either gamma or x-ray sources in the range of 96-10,000 rads was given. (The mean or median survival times were determined.) Doses were fractionated and the survival times for the same...

Creator:: Keizer, Philip John
Abstract:: Blood, liver, kidney, femur, and ovaries were assayed from female Wistar rats following oral administration of uranyl nitrate. Three uranium concentrations were studied for six time periods ranging from 4 hours to 240 hours following gavage. Uranium burdens of tissues were determined by neutron activation and delayed fission neutron counting...

Creator:: Manes, Jasper Damon, Jr.
Abstract:: Iodoacetic acid and diphenylamine were used in this study to elucidate the mechanisms of resistance of Micrococcus radiodurans to radiation. This organism, a gram positive, non-spore forming, salmon-pink, tetracoccus has a LD₅₀ of 213,000 R when grown in the absence of radio-modifying agents. M. radiodurans, when grown in media containing...
