Pelargonium graveolens Ait., rose geranium, contains several oxygenated monoterpenes, most of which are related to each other structurally. In this work, the metabolism and interconversions of these terpenes was investigated. A chromatographic analysis of geranium oil was performed initially for the purposes of identifying the terpenes and determining which chromatographic...

The primary goal of this study is to access the processes that alter primary melts after segregation from a mantle source and ultimately form petrologic Layers 2 and 3 of the Ocean Crust. Mineral, melt inclusion, and whole rock chemical compositions are utilized to further the understanding of 1) the...
Thiamine (vitamin B₁) is required by all living organisms for carbohydrate metabolism and synthesis of amino acids. Thiamine deficiency is responsible for several related classes of early life stage mortality disorders in salmonines, including Thiamine Deficiency Complex (TDC) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, Cayuga Syndrome in the Finger Lakes, and...

To distinguish americium-241 in human lungs from
translocated activity in the tracheobronchial lymph
nodes (TBLN), two intrinsic germanium detectors were
collimated with 0.3-cm lead sheeting.
A tissue-
equivalent phantom containing either 620 nCi (22.9 kBq)
in the lungs or a 2200 nCi (81.4 kBq) TBLN point source
was counted; as...
