Effects of fractionated radiation doses on survival times of the newt (Taricha granulosa)

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...

The uptake and retention of cesium-134 in Microtus canicaudus Miller

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...

The site of action of radio-lethal compounds on Micrococcus radiodurans

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...
