Geothermal Resource Investigations: Imperial Valley, California. Site location report, deep geothermal test well

Description: Data for use in siting a deep geothermal test well in the East Mesa area of Imperial County, California are summarized. The data relate to a geothermal anomaly known as the Mesa anomaly. It is concluded that the thermal feature forming the Mesa anomaly is a manifestation of a sizable convective hydrothermal system embracing an area of about 19 square miles and a considerable volume of saturated sediment in the Salton trough. The upper surface of the thermal feature between depths of 200 and 1,0… more

Liquid metal bearings technology for large, high-temperature, sodium rotating machinery. Development and test of high-temperature proximity probe for use in liquid sodium. Fourth topical report

Description: An inductance-type, proximity-probe system for measurement of bearing film thicknesses and shaft orbits in high-temperature, liquid-sodium environment has been developed, built and tested. The probe system is designed to operate at temperatures up to 1200/sup 0/F and gap range of 0.004'' to 0.080'', with good linearity over about three-quarters of the range, when using probe pairs connected in push-pull. The probes were tested extensively in both gas and sodium environments, culminating in a 68… more

SPECIFIC PROTONATION OF THE CARCINOGEN 7, 12-DIMETHYIBENZ [a]ANTHRACENE AND CHARGE LOCALIZATION IN THE a-COMPLEX

Description: In the class of the polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons, the concept of localized charge in a {sigma}-complex, e.g., the carbonium ion formed by addition of a proton or other electrophile to an aromatic ring, has so far received experimental evidence only in the case of anthracene. The ultraviolet spectrum of this compound in sulfuric acid is similar to that of the benzhydryl cation. Ph{sub c}C{sup +}Me. This result implies the protonation of anthracene at one meso-carbon atom and the localizat… more

PHOTOCHEMICAL COUPLING OF BENZO [a]PYRENE WITH 1-METHYL-CYTOSINE;PHOTO-ENHANCEMENT OF CARCINOGENICITY

Description: Irradiation of the carcinogenic benzo[a]pyrene (I) with 1-methylcytosine hydrochloride IIa (molar ratio 1:10) at 3500 {angstrom} in methanol-acetone produces the 6-(1-methylcytos-5-yl)-benzo[a]pyrene (III). The structure of the product shows the hydrocarbon bound through the most active 6-carbon atom to the nucleophilic 5-position of the base. In the second part, the possibility of observing carcinogenic effects on the mouse skin from non-carcinogenic hydrocarbons under the action of UV light i… more

Mechanism Op Action Op P-Hydroxybenzoate Hybrozylase Frompseudomonas Putida. Iii. The Enzyme-Subtrate Complex

Description: The mechanism of action of p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida, strain M-6, has been investigated. The aromatic substrate analogues, benzoate, p-fluorobenzoate, p-chlorobenzoate, p-nitrobenzoate, p-aminobenzoate, and 6-hydroxynicotinate, are found to be competitive inhibitors. This finding differs from the previously reported noncompetitive behavior in a different buffer system. The optical activity of the enzyme-inhibitor complex is studied. From the kinetic and circular dich… more

An Analog Method for Measuring the Longitudinal Coupling Impedance of a Relativistic Particle Beam With Its Environmnet

Description: The stability of a coasting beam against self-bunching (negative mass instability) may be expressed in terms of a beam coupling impedance. The impedance has contributions from self-fields, wall impedance, and curvature effects. This paper describes procedures for measuring the wall and curvature contributions to the coupling impedance by means of an analog in which the beam is replaced by a conductor propagating a TEM-like mode. Conditions are derived under which the measurements are valid, var… more

THE EFFECT OF RIFAMPICIN, AND TWO DERIVATIVES, ON CELLS INFECTEDWITH MOLONEY SARCOMA VIRUS

Description: It is shown that rifampicin, and especially its relative dimethyl-N-benzyl-N-desmethyl rifampicin, can inhibit focus formation by Moloney sarcoma virus on BALB/3T3 tissue cultures. At a dose level of 10 {micro}g/ml DMB appears to totally inhibit focus formation while reducing virus replication by at least a factor of fifty and cell proliferation by only a factor of three. These observations, taken together with those of others, suggest a role for the hybrid RNA-DNA dependent DNA polymerase and … more

Dissipation of the reactor heat at the Savannah River Plant

Description: The effluent cooling water from the heat exchangers of the Savannah River nuclear reactors is cooled by natural processes as it flows through the stream beds, canals, ponds, and swamps on the plant site. The Langhaar equation, which gives the rate of heat removal from the water surface as a function of the surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed, is applied satisfactorily to calculate the cooling that occurs at all temperature levels and for all modes of water fl… more

Waukegan Station plume

Description: In a previous report on effects of thermal discharges from power plants into the Great Lakes, we stressed the need for a statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal pattern of the thermal plume. The plume pattern is recognized as stochastic in nature and requires statistical analysis. A single realization of the Waukegan Station plume is studied with emphasis on its information content. Areas between isotherms at various depths are computed together with volumes of water in given temperatu… more

Radioecological studies related to the BANEBERRY event

Description: On December 18, 1970, at 7:30 a.m., PST, a venting occurred at the Nevada Test Site in conjunction with the Baneberry test. The Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL) Bio-Medical Research Division and the University of Utah responded to this event by activating their jointly operated air-sampling network and by gathering forage, milk, and animal samples. These data are used to calculate the dose to humans from inhalation, submersion, and food-chain contamination; food-chain contamination calculati… more
