The permeability coefficients of dog red cell membrane to tritiated water and to a series of[(14)C]amides have been deduced from bulk diffusion measurements through a "tissue" composed of packed red cells. Red cells were packed by centrifugation inside polyethylene tubing. The red cell column was pulsed at one end with radiolabeled solute and diffusion was allowed to proceed for several hours. ...

The DARHT-2 machine under construction at Los Alamos National Laboratory requires a long-pulse (2.5 sec) 2– 4 kA, 3.5 MV, low-emittance electron beam source. The injector is being designed at LBNL and consists of a largearea thermionic cathode mounted atop a vertical column. The 90 bend between the horizontally emitted beam and the column produces dipole and higher-pole fields which must be cor...

During the last decade, high pH anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAED/PAC) has gained increasing acceptance as the method of choice for analysis of neutral sugars commonly occurring in woods, pulps, and other lignocellulosics. This paper describes modified chromatographic conditions and discusses other critical factors that improve the precision and efficiency ...

In spite of their low concentrations in soil solutions, low–molecular weight organic substances (LMWOS) such as amino acids, sugars, and uronic acids play a major role in the cycles of C and N in soil. With respect to their low concentrations and to possible matrix interferences, their analysis in soil leachates is a challenging task. We established two HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatogra...

The process of column Crystallization at total reflux and steady state was analyzed mathematically and experimentally in order to determine the mechanisms by which separations are achieved and limited. The results of the study indicate that separation is produced by the formation of crystals in the freezing section and by interphase mass-transfer in the adjacent purification section. The separa...

Anexperimental investigation of the deformation andbreakupproperties of turbulent round liquid jets in uniform gaseous crossflows is described. Pulsed shadowgraphandholographobservationswere obtained for turbulent round liquid jets injected normal to air crossflow in a shock tube. Crossflow velocities of the air behind the shock wave relative to the liquid jet were subsonic (36–90 m=s) and the ...

The biological activity of deer antler has been considered to originate in the gangliosides, although the structures of gangliosides have not been well elucidated. The quality of deer antler as an Asian folk medicine has often been evaluated by the amount of gangliosides contained in the crude drug. We have completed the structural determination of five gangliosides isolated from deer antler in...

A novel graphical method of analysing continuous membrane separation systems has been developed. The method is applicable to all counterand co-current membrane modules – single-stage, cascades, and membrane columns. All configurations can be broken down into “column sections”, no matter how complex the arrangement. Each column section, which resembles a typical single-stage separator, is modell...
