Isotopic Carbon.

Abstract

tional reading are supplied with each chapter. Six appendices covering 22 pages are concerned with units, an excellent table of the universal physical constants, various tables on electronic structure and properties of the elements, a discussion of electrical oscillations, eight pages on special relativity theory, and three pages on the elementary theory of radioactive decay.Errors are minor and generally of an insignificant nature at this embryonic stage of development of young scientists.The reviewer heartily recommends this book for the collegiate modern physics course.

Path of Glucose Breakdown and Cell Yields of a Facultative Anaerobe, Actinomyces naeslundii

“…After decarboxylation, the solution was made alkaline with KOH, and the methylamine was isolated by distilling into diluted HC1; methylamine was oxidized to C 0 2 with alkaline permanganate (Katz, Abraham & Chaikoff, 1955). Lactate was decarboxylated with chromic acid (Calvin et al 1949); the acetate formed was isolated and degraded as described above. Succinate was decarboxylated by the method of Phares & Long (1955).…”

STUDY OF THE RADIOLYSIS OF BROMAL HYDRATE SOLUTIONS USING C14-LABELLED BROMAL

“…Bromal hydrate, and products other than carbon dioxide, were oxidized t o carbon dioxide b y warming with a n aqueous solution of potassium persulphate containing silver nitrate a s a catalyst (6). T h e carbon dioxide was absorbed in sodium hydroxide solution, carrier sodium carbonate added, and a solution containing amnloniuin and barium chlorides added t o precipitate bariuin carbonate.…”
