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...
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...
A continuous amperometric monitor for aqueous sulfite solutions
has been developed employing the electro-oxidation of sulfur (IV)
in 0. 1 M sulfuric acid at a glassy carbon test electrode. The monitor
employs a hydrodynamic flow cell, in which the solution stream
enters the cell through an orifice impinging on the...
The concentration of chlorophyll in natural bodies of water is
commonly determined as a means to rapidly estimate the phytoplankton
biomass. The literature gives numerous warnings, however, as to the
problems involved with accurately determining chlorophyll
concentrations. The author's work at Crater Lake, Oregon enticed him
to explore critically the...
