Heat source component development program. Quaterly report, January--March, 1977

Abstract

This is the third in a series of quarterly reports describing the results of several experimental programs being conducted at Battelle-Columbus to develop components for advanced radioisotope heat source applications. The heat sources will for the most part be used in advanced static and dynamic power conversion systems. These reports replace the informal monthly technical letter reports previously prepared and are being utilized so that more cohesive presentation of results can be achieved. In addition^ a series of sumnary management monthly reports was initiated in July of 1976 to permit NBA assessment of contractual progress. Previous quarterly reports are identified as BMI-X-672 October 1976^ and BMI-X-676 January 1977. The activities covered in this new series of reports are conducted under Contract No. W-7405-eng-92j Task 94. The specific components development efforts which are described herein are: improved selective and nonselective vents for helium release from the fuel containment; an improved reentry member and an improved impact member^ singly and combined. The unitized reentry-impact member (RIM) is under development to be used as a bifunotional ablator. Finally^ thermochemical supporting studies are reported.

Reactivity of the P‐site‐bound donor in ribosomal peptide‐bond formation

“…Phase I is the kinetic region of the reaction where kinetic information can be obtained, whereas in phase TI the reaction has reached either equilibrium or the end-point (see [12]). What has been referred to in the past as reactivity towards puromycin [7, 9, 101 is determined in phase11 when the reaction has reached the endpoint.…”

A Clarifying Solution for Hypertriglyceridemic Serums

“…To avoid this need, it is also possible to use only one aliquot of sample if the critical reagent ingredient is added to the sample blank in a triggered manner, a technique that can be done manually (66) or by any one of several automated instruments (67). However, the method could still be handicapped by the presence of a second dynamic interference that might convert from one spectral form to an entirely different spectral form only in the presence of the key ingredient left out of the reactive reagent (27,68), a phenomenon seemingly not evident for turbidity. Bilirubin oxidizing to biliverdin is an example of this kind of secondary interference that can occur when attempting to blank turbidity.…”

Εφαρμογες Της Flow Injection Analysis (Fia) Και Των Ακινητοποιημενων Ενζυμων Στην Αναλυση Δειγματων Τροφιμων Και Βιολογικων Υγρων

“…Ουσιαστικά όλα τα συστήματα FIA, όταν εξετασθούν ως προς τις μεθό δους κινητικής ανάλυσης των δεδομένων τους, ακολουθούν την κατάταξη του ParcJye [12], θεωρείται λοιπόν, ότι ένα σύστημα FIA βρίσκεται σε ισορροπία μόνον, όταν δεν υπάρχει δείγμα στο σύστημα, δηλαδή μόνον όταν δεν λειτουργεί η συσκευή. Η κατάσταση αυτή δεν έχει αναλυτικό ενδιαφέρον.…”
