Abstract: Exposure of Sprague Dawley white rats to single doses of 900 kvp X radiation demonstrated a medium lethal dose of 600 r which was not markedly dependent upon sex, weight, or, in the case of females, stage of the estrous cycle at the time of irradiation. Deaths within 30 days were most frequent between the fourth and eighth, and between the tenth and fifteenth post- irradiation days, indicating the existence of at least two processes leading to death in the "acute" period.

Report presenting an investigation in the 18- by 18-inch supersonic tunnel to determine design conditions for optimum performance of shock diffusers at Mach number 1.85 with a series of projecting single-shock cones with varying angles. Each cone was tested with a curved and a straight diffuser-inlet section. The effect of angle of attack was investigated for several configurations.

Report presenting an investigation in the 18- by 18-inch supersonic tunnel to determine the total-pressure recovery obtainable at Mach number 1.85 with a shock diffuser with projective cones designed to produce two oblique shocks ahead of the diffuser inlet. The variation of total-pressure recovery with tip projection was investigated for four cones with different included angles. A maximum total-pressure recovery of 94.5 percent was attained with the best configuration at an angle of 0 degrees.
