Synthesis of (plus or minus) [5-{sup 3}H] N'-Nitrosoanatabine, a tobacco-specific nitrosamine

Description: Tobacco-specific N'-nitrosamines (TSNA) are a unique class of systemic organ-specific carcinogens. The TSNA are formed by N-nitrosation of nicotine and of the minor tobacco alkaloids after harvesting of tobacco and during smoking. The N-nitrosation of anatabine leads to N'-nitrosoanatabine (NAT; 1-nitroso-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,3'-bipyridyl) which requires in-depth assays in laboratory animals other than the rat. Furthermore, delineation of its tissue distribution and metabolism is needed for str… more

[3H]Azidodantrolene photoaffinity labeling, synthetic domain peptides and monoclonal antibody reactivity identify the dantrolene binding sequence on RyR1

Description: Dantrolene is a drug that suppresses intracellular Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum in normal skeletal muscle and is used as a therapeutic agent in individuals susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. Though its precise mechanism of action has not been elucidated, we have identified the N-terminal region (amino acids 1-1400) of the skeletal muscle isoform of the ryanodine receptor (RyR1), the primary Ca2+ release channel in sarcoplasmic reticulum, as a molecular target for dantrolene usin… more

Assessing Groundwater Model Uncertainty for the Central Nevada Test Area

Description: The purpose of this study is to quantify the flow and transport model uncertainty for the Central Nevada Test Area (CNTA). Six parameters were identified as uncertain, including the specified head boundary conditions used in the flow model, the spatial distribution of the underlying welded tuff unit, effective porosity, sorption coefficients, matrix diffusion coefficient, and the geochemical release function which describes nuclear glass dissolution. The parameter uncertainty was described by a… more

Beam based alignment at the KEK accelerator test facility

Description: The KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) damping ring is a prototype low emittance source for the NLC/JLC linear collider. To achieve the goal normalized vertical emittance {gamma}{var_epsilon}{sub {gamma}} = 20 nm-rad, magnet placement accuracy better than 30 mm must be achieved. Accurate beam-based alignment (BBA) is required. The ATF arc optics uses a FOBO cell with two horizontally focusing quadrupoles, two sextupoles and a horizontally defocusing gradient dipole, all of which must be aligne… more

Characterization of Detonation Wave Propagation in LX-17 Near the Critical Diameter

Description: A new Detonation Profile Test (DPT) was developed to measure simultaneously the detonation wave breakout profile and the average detonation velocity at the breakout surface. The test evaluated small cylindrical samples with diameter up to 19.08 mm and length up to 33 mm. The experiment involved initiating a LX-17 cylindrical specimen and recording the wave breakout using a fast streaking electronic camera. The initiation was done using a PBX-9407 pellet (1.630 g/cm{sup 3}), which has a Chapman-… more

Iron Phosphate Glasses: An Alternative for Vitrifying Certain Nuclear Wastes

Description: A high priority has been given to investigating the vitrification of three specific nuclear wastes in iron phosphate glasses (IPG). These wastes, which were recommended by the Tank Focus Area (TFA) group of Hanford, are poorly suited for vitrification in the currently DOE-approved borosilicate (BS) glasses. They include (1) a sodium bearing waste (SBW) at INEEL, (2) a high chrome waste (HCW) at Hanford, and (3) a high sodium/sulfate waste (HSSW), also known as low activity waste (LAW) at Hanfor… more
