Detection of Airborne Beryllium Dust : Monthly Report Covering the Period from May1 to June 1, 1955

During this period a prototype gamma ray detection system was assembled and data was obtained on samples of beryllium salts on filter paper under a variety of conditions. Ordinarily either a scaler-register combination or the CRM-recorder combination would be sufficient for obtaining data. Both units have been used here in order to utilize the particular advantages of each system. The scaler-register unit was employed for obtaining precise data over short intervals while the CRM-recorder was used to maintain a check on stability over longer intervals of time.

Spectrophotometric Determination of Cerium with Tiron (open access)

Spectrophotometric Determination of Cerium with Tiron

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of cerium with Tiron (disodium-1,2-dihydroxybenzene-3,5disulfonate) was applied to the determination of cerium in samples which contain uranium and zirconium. The cerium-Tiron complex in solutions of pH 8 or greater exhibits an absorption maximum of 500 mu . This reagent does not react with any other lanthanide element. The interference of iron, uranium, and zirconium was eliminated by extracting these interfering elements with a solution of trioctylphosphine oxide in cyclohexane. (auth)

On the Generalized Overrelaxation Method for Operator Equations (open access)

On the Generalized Overrelaxation Method for Operator Equations

"In Householder, using Weissinger's identity , obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the c onvergence of the Seidel method for the solution of finite matrix equations of the form (D-S-S*-F)u = f. The same coniditions were also obtained by Krein and Prozorovakaya for an analog of the Seidel method for the operator equations of the form (D+S+S*)u = f in a Hilbert space. The purpose of this article is to extend the result of the above authors to the generalized overrelaxation iterative method for the solution of a wider class of of operator equations in a Hilbert space."
