Corrections in bomb calorimetry

An improved method for preparation of feces for bomb calorimetry.

was standardized before no. 1 and between the two no. 10 samples. The time required when the Auto Dilutor was used was: 3 mm to assemble equipment, 2.5 mm to label flasks, 9 mn to dilute standard and samples, and 8 mm to take readings. The on-line system only took 8 mm to run the standards and samples, saving 14.5 mm for the 10 duplicated determinations. No flasks are needed when an on-line dil...

Leukemia in Atomic Bomb

EUKEMOGENESIS induced by repeated exposures to x-ray and other forms of radiation energy has long been recognized in man and in experimental ammals.’3 The explosion of the atomic bombs in Japan exposed two large human populations to single brief but massive doses of ionizing irradiation and subsequently a marked increase in leukemia among survivors was reported.4 ‘ The present study consists of...

Additions and Corrections

Additions and corrections to names published in Cercospora in Iran

In this paper the taxonomy of some previously reported taxa as Cercospora apii s.lat. in Iran, is discussed and some new records are listed. Cercospora species on Abelia grandiflora (C. deutziae), Erythrina crista-galli (C. erythrinicola), Euphorbia heterophylla (C. pulcherrimae) and Zanthedeschia aethiopica (C. richardiicola) are new for mycobiota of Iran. Cercospora iridis which was previousl...

Gravitational Calorimetry

I generalize the quasilocal formulation of thermodynamics of Brown and York to include dilaton theories of gravity as well as Abelian and Yang-Mills gauge matter fields with possible dilaton couplings. The resulting formulation is applicable to a large class of theories including two-dimensional toy models and the low energy limit of string theory as well as to many types of matter such as mass...
