A VERMILION COLOR FROM URANIUM*

A Physiological Study of the Vermilion Eye Color Mutants of Drosophila Melanogaster.

HE vermilion eye color mutant Drosophila melanogaster was one of the Tmutants used by BEADLE, EPHRUSSI, TATUM and their collaborators in their early attempts to interpret the biochemical effects of genes (Cf. Review by EPHRUSI 1942). More recent studies on vermilion mutants (GREEN 1949, 1952, 1954) made it seem worthwhile to pursue further the study of the physiological effects of these mutants...

Solubility characterization of airborne uranium from a uranium recycling plant.

Solubility profiles of uranium dusts in a uranium recycling plant were determined by performing in vitro solubility tests on breathing zone air samples conducted in all process areas of the processing plant. The recycling plant produces high density shields, closed end tubes that are punched and formed from uranium sheet metal, and high-fired uranium oxide, which is used as a catalyst. The recy...

A Method for Reconstruction of Vermilion Tubercle

BACKGROUND This article reports on the bilateral lip mucosa flaps (BLMFs) for reconstruction of the vermilion tubercle of the corrected cleft lip deformity. METHODS From 2005 to 2013, the bilateral mucosa flaps procedures were performed on 34 secondary cleft lip patients (bilateral, n = 25; unilateral, n = 9). We retrospectively reviewed the pre-, intra-, and postoperative data of these 34 ca...

Uranium extraction from laboratory-synthesized, uranium-doped hydrous ferric oxides.

The extractability of uranium (U) from synthetic uranium-hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) coprecipitates has been shown to decrease as a function of mineral ripening, consistent with the hypothesis that the ripening process will decrease uranium lability. To evaluate this process, three HFO suspensions were coprecipitated with uranyl (UO2(2+)) and maintained at pH 7.0 +/- 0.1. Uranyl was added to the...
