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...
Coded metrics that compare representations of structures within the human body to evaluate their similarity are considered useful for planning radiation therapy on cancer targets. However, existing metrics fail to take into account the dose of radiation that will be received by both the target, and surrounding non-target tissue, during...
A new x-ray source capable of operating at up to 80
watts has been designed and developed, and put to use with
the Oregon State University Cylindrical Electrostatic
Analyzer. The new source produces over four times the
photoelectron intensity of its predecessor, from gaseous
samples, and accommodates a wider selection...
A nonflame method for atomic absorption spectroscopy is
described. A helical tungsten filament from a commercially available
6-V, 4-A light bulb, heated to :incandescence in an argon atmosphere
is used to atomize 2-μl aqueous samples for metals analyses. Studies
of two hollow cathode lamp tungsten filament orientations, a
modulated light...
Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant drug approved by the FDA for the prevention of organ transplant rejection. However, the use of this drug is hindered by its narrow therapeutic window and extreme insolubility in water. Due to these properties, the currently used tacrolimus preparations must be administered once or twice daily...
Eight layered gabbro samples from two layered complexes, two
xenoliths, one basalt from a hot brine area and a standard basalt rock
(BCR-1) were analyzed by RNAA (radiochemical neutron activation
analysis) for 14 trace elements, Au, Ni, Co, Ag, Sb, Se, Zn, In, T1,
Rb, Cs, U, Ba and Sr....
An approach to the generation of polyketides was investigated,
which involved ozonolysis of 6, 7 cyclopenteno -1> 4, 5, 8 -tetrahydromethoxy-
3-methylnaphthalene (26), to produce what is believed to be
polyketide 27. Compound 26 was formed by the following sequence:
Die ls -Alder addition of 1, 2 -dim.ethylenecyclopentane and 2...
Phospholipids and cerebrosides of the normal chick sciatic
nerve were extracted by Folch procedures and separated with silica
gel thin-layer chromatography using various chloroform-methanol
solvents. The subsequent chemical assays were expressed as a function
of the developmental stages of the chick from 15 days of incubation
to 7 days after...
