An apparatus and method for injecting a substance, such as a radiopharmaceutical, into the bloodstream of a subject is described. The apparatus comprises an injection means, such as a servo controlled syringe, a means for measuring the concentration of that substance in the subject's bloodstream, and means for controlling the injection in response to the measurement so that the concentration of the substance follows a predetermined function of time. The apparatus of the subject invention functions to inject a substance into a subject's bloodstream at a rate controlled by an error signal proportional to the difference between the concentration of the substance in the subject's bloodstream and the predetermined function.

Super-smooth rounded or formed articles made of thermoplastic materials including various poly(methyl methacrylate) or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers are produced by immersing the articles into a bath, the composition of which is slowly changed with time. The starting composition of the bath is made up of at least one solvent for the polymer and a diluent made up of at least one nonsolvent for the polymer and optional materials which are soluble in the bath. The resulting extremely smooth articles are useful as mandrels for laser fusion and should be useful for a wide variety of other purposes, for example lenses.

A multiple growth run with three 10 cm cartridges was carried out with the best throughput rates and time percentage of simultaneous three-ribbon growth achieved to date in this system. Growth speeds were between 3.2 and 3.6 cm/minute on all three cartridges and simultaneous full-width growth of three ribbons was achieved 47% of the time over the eight-hour duration of the experiment. Improvements in instrumentation and in the main zone temperature uniformity have been two factors that have led to more reproducible growth conditions in the multiple ribbon furnace. Factors influencing ribbon quality are being investigated through the study of the effect of ambient gas species and concentrations on material properties. Growth of ribbon with the cold shoes characteristic of the high-speed systems has shown that the properties of this ribbon respond to ambient changes in much the same way as when no cold shoes are present. The best cell efficiencies attained for 10 cm wide ribbon grown with cold shoes are still below those obtained without cold shoes (10 to 11% versus 12 to 13%, respectively). It has also been shown in these experiments that meniscus CO/sub 2/ and quartz introduced in the melt (contained in graphite crucibles) are …

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.
