Thermal Conductivity of Metal Interfaces (open access)

Thermal Conductivity of Metal Interfaces

The coefficients of thermal conductivity of aluminum-bismuth metal-to-metal bonds, and of aluminum and bismuth surfaces in contact under pressure, were measured.

Calculation of Shielding for Mark II Accelerator (open access)

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.

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.

Pile Neutron Production Field Curves Calculated Using the UCRL Differential Analyzer (open access)

Pile Neutron Production Field Curves Calculated Using the UCRL Differential Analyzer

A set of 69 pile yield curves for the production of plutonium, americium, and curium isotopes in a neutron flux of 5 x 10<sup>14 cm<sup>-2 sec<sup>-1 is given. The differential analyzer of the University of California Radiation Laboratory was used in obtaining the curves. The curves are given also on log-log plots for comparison.
