Flora of Healthy Dogs: [Part] 2. Isolation of Enteroviruses from Lower Intestines (open access)

Flora of Healthy Dogs: [Part] 2. Isolation of Enteroviruses from Lower Intestines

Fecal specimens from apparently healthy dogs were inoculated into MK, DK, HeLa, and CP cells. Twenty-six cytopathic agents were isolated in MK, 11 in HeLa, and 4 in CP, but none in DK cells. Neutralization tests indicated that all but one of the viruses were either strains of ECHO type 6 or were closely related to it. Twenty-one of 29 dogs were carrying the virus.

The Particulate State of Fission Products Released From Irradiated Uranium When Heated in Air: [Part ]1. Preliminary Results for I131, Te132, and Ru103 (open access)

The Particulate State of Fission Products Released From Irradiated Uranium When Heated in Air: [Part ]1. Preliminary Results for I131, Te132, and Ru103

From Introduction: "The present study was initiated to provide data regarding the particulate state of fission products released from uranium heated in air. It was expected that the information gained in this work would be valuable in planning experiments in which animals would be exposed to aerosols of mixed fission products and in determining the feasibility of using the effluent from a fuel specimen melt-down or oxidation in such exposures."

On the Calibration of Cascade Impactors (open access)

On the Calibration of Cascade Impactors

From Abstract: "In the following paper, the two customary methods of calibrating cascade impactors are compared. It is shown that the method of determining collection efficiency as a function of particle size for each stage provides information for interpreting results in terms of impactor theory, making it possible to establish adequate jet performance."

The Stage Constants of Cascade Impactors (open access)

The Stage Constants of Cascade Impactors

From Introduction: "In the present work, the relationship between the true MMD's calculated in this way and the MMD's which could be obtained from a microscope analysis has been determined. This has been done to establish that the comparison being made gives a valid representation of what could be encountered in practice. The comparison has then been extended to cover a wide range of particle size distributions for three different impactors."

From Introduction: "The following report describes an ultramicro procedure using ANSA as reducing agent. The method is a modification of the method of Kaser and Baker (4). Results obtained with this method are compared to results obtained with the procedure of Dryer, Tammes, and Routh (2) adapted for ultamicro analysis (3). The latter method uses N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (NPPD) as the reducing agent."
