Cross Section Measurements in Praseodymium-141 as a Function of Neutron Bombarding Energy (open access)

Cross Section Measurements in Praseodymium-141 as a Function of Neutron Bombarding Energy

Using the parallel disk method of activation analysis, the (n,2n) reaction cross section in 141-Pr was measured as a function of neutron energy in the range 15.4 to 18.4 MeV. The bombarding neutrons were produced from the 3-T(d,n)4-He reaction, where the deuterons were accelerated by the 3-MV Van de Graff generator of the North Texas Regional Physics Laboratory in Denton, Texas.

Memory Consolidation in Avoidance-Conditioned Goldfish: Changes in Brain Protein-Synthetic Patterns (open access)

Memory Consolidation in Avoidance-Conditioned Goldfish: Changes in Brain Protein-Synthetic Patterns

Three groups of goldfish were prepared; naive, avoidance-conditioned and pseudo-conditioned animals.

The Representation of Satan in the Fiction of Samuel L. Clemens (open access)

The Representation of Satan in the Fiction of Samuel L. Clemens

Unable to rationalize man's interpretation of God, Clemens took a different view of Satan. He wrote four minor pieces that illustrate his attitudes toward Satan. He began to act as a pen for the narrator, Satan. Clemens allowed his Satanic characters freedoms that he would not allow other characters, and opinions that he restrained from writing as his own. But an older Clemens tossed convention aside as he assumed Satan's identity and wrote imaginative and unrestrained ideas on God, Satan and man.
