Report for General Research August 7 to October 30, 1950

Description: Investigation of the physical and chemical properties of polonium important to its behavior and for the improvement of the quantity and quality produced is being continued. A sample of polonium is approximatelyf 1 x 10{sup 9} disintegrations per minute was counted in a Logac for 250 days in order to determine the half life. A statistical treatment of the results gave a half life of 138.3562 {+-} 0.446 days. Combined with previous calorimetric determinations a new grand mean of 138.3975 {+-} 0.0… more

Measurements of an Iron and Borated Water Shield in the Lid Tank : Experiment 10

Description: The following report measures a shield mockup in three regions: the first made almost entire of iron; the second, transition, region is made of various thicknesses of B4C; and the third region was borated water. The iron samples used in the experiments were made in the form of rectangular plates and place in the lid tank; however, the plates were not completely flat and created a water gap that was measured in this report.

Formulas for Source, Doublet, and Vortex Distributions in Supersonic Wing Theory

Description: Report presenting the formulas of supersonic wing theory for source, doublet, and vortex distributions, and a systematic presentation is provided which relates these distributions to the pressure and to the vertical induced velocity in the plane of the wing. Care must be used in treating the singularities involved in the analysis and that the order of integration is not always reversible. Certain special applications are included to illustrate the concepts presented.

Synthesis and purification of alkyldiphenylmethane hydrocarbons 1: 2-methyldiphenylmethane, 3-methyldiphenylmethane, 2-ethyldiphenylmethane, 4-ethyldiphenylmethane and 4-isopropyldiphenylmethane

Description: From Summary: "The syntheses of five alkyldiphenylmethane hydrocarbons, 2-methyldiphenylmethane, 3-methyldiphenylmethane, 2-ethyldiphenylmethane, 4-ethyldiphenylmethane, and 4-isoropyldiphenylmethane are described. The preparation of these hydrocarbons was based on the reaction of the appropriate arylmagnesium halides with benzaldehyde to yield the corresponding alkylbenzhydrols, which were subsequently converted to the hydrocarbons by hydrogenolysis."
