From abstract: "Isotopic assays have been made on the chromium in samples from fourteen different chrominiferous minerals from different geographic and meteoritic sources. The results of the assays indicate that it is not possible to unequivocally state that variations in isotopic compositions have been observed."

From abstract: "Using the high energy limit of the exact Coulomb wave function for the outgoing electron, the differential cross section, correct to three orders in aZ, is calculated for the K-shell photoeffect. An analytic expression, exact in aZ, is obtained for the differential cross section for the special case in which the electron emerges in the forward direction."

The report discusses the function R of n variables, special values of parameters and variables, relations between associated functions, differential relations, Euler-Poisson equations, integral representations, and elliptic integrals.

From introduction: "A nuclear quadrupole interaction may occur simultaneously in conjunction with an anisotropic magnetic shift in a variety of solids. The non-cubic pure metals, in particular the hexagonal close-packed ones, afford a considerable number of examples, some which have already been studied. Among the latter may be listed Ga, In, and Te, and the list of possibilities must include Ti, Zr, Hf, Lu, Sc, and La, and perhaps others. Nuclear magnetic resonances in intermetallic compounds may also be expected to exhibit these combined effects. The cubic Laves phase compounds of the MgCu2 type have provided a number of examples, principally involving Al[^]27 nucleus. transition metal borides and beryllides, as well as other hexagonal and tetragonal intermetallics may also be included in this category. Finally, the nuclear magnetic resonance of the halogen nuclei in the paramagnetic chlorides, bromides, and iodides of transition metals will in general reflect the presence of both types of interaction. In the following section the theory for these combined effects is considered in some detail..."

From introduction: "...In this work, reduction of the niobium(V) halides was observed, and the reaction products were characterized. Illucidation of the pyridine oxidation products has permitted an interpretation of the reaction mechanism in terms of the two-electron reduction of niobium(V) by the pyridine molecule."

From abstract: "The self-diffusion coefficient of yttrium in yttrium oxide has been determined for polycrystalline Y2O3 in the temperature range 1400 to 1800°C. Radioactive Y-91 was deposited on sintered specimens of 94 to 97% theoretical density. The specimens were annealed under vacuum and sectioned. The following equation describes the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient over the range studied: D = 2.41 x 10[^]-4 exp (-43,900/RT) cm[^]2/sec."

From abstract: "The transference number of the chloride ion was determined in pure fused MgCl2, CaCl2, SrCl2, and BaCl2 utilizing radioactive chloride ions in a porous quartz membrane cell."

From abstract: "Recently a general chemical method for the analysis of mixtures of alcohols appeared, using pyridine catalyzed acetylation and second order kinetics to determine the amount of the faster reacting component. The use of 0.25M isobutyric anhydride in pyridine containing 0.0025M perchloric acid as catalyst promotes the rate of the reaction and diminishes the time necessary to perform an analysis. A mathematical treatment of the data and kinetic plot reduces the number of kinetic points to only four or five. The mixtures are primarily composed of isomers."

Technical report describing and evaluating the the three experimental methods for obtaining equation of state data at low temperatures; (1) approximate measurement of the PVT relationship by a piston-displacement technique, (2) the measurement of a heat capacity at constant volume as a function of molar volume and temperature, and (3) direct measurement of the pressure variation of the elastic constants using ultrasonic techniques. X-ray methods also might be applicable.

From abstract: "To investigate the deviation of the internal conversion coefficients of E2 transitions from theoretical computations and their dependence on nuclear deformation, the total internal conversion coefficient of the 121.8-kev 2+-0+ transition in ellipsoidal Sm152[over]90 was measured to be 1.135 ± 0.010 with a high accuracy coincidence-sum method. The K-shell to total internal conversion ratio was determined to be 0.588 ± 0.003 with a [beta] spectrometer...The experiment revealed no deviation from theory nor indications of strong dependence on nuclear deformation; it therefore did not confirm recent beliefs in this regard. The details of the coincidence-sum method were described. The K electron to total electron capture ratio, from Eu152 to the 1.53 Mev state in Sm152 was also measured to be 0.79±0.02."

From abstract: "Bis(di-n-hexylphosphinyl)methane, HDPM, [(C6H13)2P(O)]2CH2, has been studied as an extractant for a variety of metals. HDPM was evaluated as an extractant for uranium(VI) and compared with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide, TOPO, (C8H13)3PO. In nonpolar solvents, HDPM forms a polymeric-like substance with compounds of uranium(VI). Viscosity measurements indicate that the molecular weight of this polymeric-like substance is about 100 times greater than the corresponding complex with TOPO. Polymer formation occurs only when nonpolar solvents are used as diluents for HDPM and is easily avoided by using polar solvents such as 1,2-aichlorobenzene. HDPM forms 1:1 and 2:1 complexes with uranium(VI) nitrate. Equilibrium constants for these complexes as well as that for the 2:1 TOPO complex were calculated and it was shown that the over-all constant is at least ten times larger for the HDPM complex than for the TOPO complex. The effect of concentration of various mineral acids, extractant concentration, temperature, and diluents on the extraction of uranium are discussed."

From introductory paragraph: "The factors which control the properties, and hence the utility, of an alloy are microscopic in nature. These factors are controlled by controlling the composition and past history of the material. control of the composition of the alloy determines for the most part the number and types of phases which will be present, while control of the past history of the alloy determines the grain size and degree of crystalline perfection within the grains. Since the electrical, mechanical, and many of the physical properties of a metal are highly sensitive to the degree of crystalline perfection, it is worthwhile to explore the nature and role of crystalline imperfections."

From summary: "A proposed metallurgical procedure for reporocessing Th-U233 fuel has been outlined. Some basic experimental data pertinent to the proposed process which has been published elsewhere has been reviewed and some new data presented. In the dissolution of thorium-uranium alloy in magnesium the data show that protactinium precipitates with the uranium and cerium remains in the magnesium-rich solution. It is expected that yttrium, other light rare earth elements, the alkali and alkaline earth metals will also concentrate in the magnesium-rich solution while iron, chromium, zirconium, molybdenum, niobium and the more noble metals will concentrate in the uranium-rich phase."

From abstract: "The beta spectrum of Na22 has been examined using an intermediate-image beta-ray spectrometer operating at 2 1/2% transmission and 2.4% resolution. Five separate determinations of the maximum energy and of the slope of the form-factor plot were made. One determination was made using a charge-discriminating baffle inserted in the spectrometer. The unweighted mean of the five values for the maximum energy is 547.4 ± 1.0 kev. The unweighted mean of the five values for the form-factor slope is 0.023 ± 0.006 1/mc2."
