Studies on the Experimental Pathology and Biochemistry of the Pulmonary Granulomatosis of Beryllium Workers. Section II, Consolidated Progress Report. Supplement: a Review of the Physical Chemistry of Beryllium

The status of research is reviewed in a study of pulmonary granulomatosis in beryllium workers. Equipment for use in dust exposure studies is described. Preliminary results are reported from studies on the tissue distribution and pathological effects of beryllium dust in rats; the physical chemistry of solutions of beryllium salts; the effects of beryllium on enzyme systems, and the effects of ascorbic acid on beryllium excretion.

Grüneisen's Law and the Fusion Curve at High Pressure (open access)

Grüneisen's Law and the Fusion Curve at High Pressure

A method to determine the correction to Grüneisen's law corresponding to the effect of the electrons at high pressure. It is assumed that the lattice contribution to the pressure is small and that the equation of state of the solid can be approximated by results of the statistical Thomas-Fermi atom model for the electron pressure.

A Method for Monochromatizating and Precise Point Focusing of X-Rays and its Application in Low Angle Diffraction Studies (open access)

A Method for Monochromatizating and Precise Point Focusing of X-Rays and its Application in Low Angle Diffraction Studies

A principle for bending crystals with a minimum of strain so that they will focus x-rays and gamma-rays accurately to a point is explained. Detailed calculations are made of the aberrations in the foci resulting from various applications of the principle. the application of the principle in making a point focusing monochromator for low angle x-ray diffraction studies is discussed, and theoretical and experimental determinations of the reflection coefficient of the crystal are compared. A few experiments in low angle diffraction from biological materials using the new monochromator are described, and the results are compared with those obtained using other instruments.
