The era of imaging neuroreceptors in humans with PET was ushered in by Wagner et al. (1983) with a report in Science showing the first human brain scan of dopamine receptors (Wagner, 1983). The tracer was N-methylspiperone (NMSP) tagged with carbon-11. The brain that was scanned belonged to one of the authors. Ethical concerns notwithstanding, this act placed the researchers in the good company...

Intact neurons in cultures of fetal rodent spinal cord explants show stimulation-dependent uptake of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into many small vesicles and occasional tubules and multivesicular bodies (MVB) at presynaptic terminals. Presynaptic terminals were allowed to take up HRP during 1 h of strychnine-enhanced stimulation of synaptic transmitter release and then "chased" in tracer-free ...

Abstract The paper describes the observational and modeling efforts performed under Bolzano Tracer Experiment (BTEX). BTEX focused on basin surrounding city of Bolzano, at junction three tributary valleys southern side Alps, to characterize ground-level impact pollutants emitted by a waste incinerator close city, atmospheric factors controlling dispersion processes in whole basin, different win...

introduction: trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that is used in treating breast cancer. we labeled this monoclonal antibody with technetium-99m and performed in vitro and in vivo quality control tests as a first step in the production of a new radiopharmaceutical. methods: trastuzumab was labeled with technetium-99m using succinimidyl hydrazinonicotinamide (hynic) as chelator. radiochemical ...

"Three-dimensional Bayesian geostatistical aquifer characterization at the Hanford 300 Area using tracer test data" (2012). US Department of Energy Publications. Paper 309. [1] Tracer tests performed under natural or forced gradient flow conditions can provide useful information for characterizing subsurface properties, through monitoring, modeling, and interpretation of the tracer plume migrat...

Turfgrass Research. The lysimeter is 4.0 m deep, 2.5 m in diameter, and contains a homogeneous packing of Vinton fine Experiments were conducted in a well-instrumented weighing lysand (sandy, mixed, thermic Typic Torrifluvents) with a mean simeter (2.5 by 4 m) to evaluate the efficacy of the gas-phase-partibulk density of 1.38 Mg m 3 and porosity of 0.47. Details tioning tracer method for measu...
