Studies with Colloids Containing Radioisotopes of Yttrium, Zirconium, Columbium, and Lanthanum: 1. The Chemical Principles and Methods Involved in Preparation of Colloids of Yttrium, Zirconium, Columbium, and Lanthanum

Description: For a number of investigations, including fundamental studies of radiation effects on living tissues and therapeutic utilization of radioisotopes, it is valuable to have methods for the selective localization of radioisotopes in certain tissues. Finely dispersed anhydrous chromic phosphate has been found useful by Jones, Wrobel, and Lyons in selectively irradiating the liver and spleen with p{sup 32} beta particles. The present studies, reported in this and the following communication, are conc… more

Studies with Colloids Containing Radioisotopes of Yttrium, Zirconium, Columbium and Lanthaum: 2. The Controlled Selective Localization of Radioisotopes of Yttrium, Zirconium, Columbium in the Bone Marrow, Liver and Spleen

Description: Several workers have shown that certain colloidally dispered materials are removed from the blood stream by the liver and spleen. Jones, Wrobel, and Lyons have utilized suspensions of anhydrous chromic phosphate for the selective irradiation of the liver and spleen with p{sup 32} beta particles. Gersh demonstrated that colloidal calcium phosphate is taken up by the liver and spleen. He stressed the failure of bone marrow phagocytes to take up this colloid in rats and dogs (though he referred to… more

Performance of Experimental Turbojet-Engine Combustor 1: Performance of a One-Eighth Segment of an Experimental Turbojet-Engine Combustor

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a one-eighth segment of an annular combustor suitable for use as a component of an experimental turbojet engine. Due to the small space available for the combustor, a special design involving a minimum of obstructions in the combustion chamber was created. Results regarding the temperature-rise efficiency, total-pressure loss, and exhaust-gas temperature variation for several simulated engine operating conditions are provided.

Flight Tests to Determine the Drag of Fin-Stabilized Parabolic Bodies at Transonic and Supersonic Speeds

Description: Report presenting testing on parabolic bodies of revolution of two fineness ratios in the transonic and supersonic range. One had a body fineness ratio of 7.87 and one had a ratio of 12 and were tested under different Mach number ranges. Experimental results and drag estimates of various portions of the body are provided.
