Fixation of Carbon Dioxide by Barley Roots (open access)

Fixation of Carbon Dioxide by Barley Roots

The uptake of carbon dioxide by plant roots preparations has been demonstrated by various authors. In addition to confirming the fact of fixation, I have investigated the effect of a number of factors involved and the compounds in which the absorbed carbon appears, using carbon-14.

Calculation of Shielding for Mark II Accelerator

The proper roof thickness to correspond with a given side wall thickness has been estimated fro experience with the 184 feet cyclotron, which has indicated that a roof of about 1 1/2 feet should accompany a wall of 5 feet, and a roof of 4 feet should accompany a wall of 15 feet. For the roof area involved, this should bring about the condition that down-scattered neutrons in the working areas are but a small fraction of the neutrons coming through the side walls.
