Analysis of External Surface Irregularities on Fukushima-Derived Fallout Particles

Three large high radioactivity particulate fragments, each several 100 μm in diameter, have been recovered from the region immediately surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Through the application of high-resolution electron and ion-beam methods, this work has sought to investigate the structure and composition of this fibrous surface morphology. By evaluating this, a potential...

Studies on fluorinated pyrimidines. VIII. Further biochemical and metabolic investigations.

We have previously reported on the tumor inhibitory properties of 5-fluorouracil and 5-fluoroorotic acid (3, 4), prepared by Duschinsky et al. (5), and on the initial clinical trials of 5fluorouracil with patients with far advanced solid tumors (6). The metabolism of 5-fluorouracil and 5-fluororotic acid has been studied, data on excretion and tissue distribution in mice and man have been repor...

X-ray studies on phospholipid bilayers. VIII. Interactions with chlorpromazine.HCl.

Chlorpromazine is a widely used phenothiazine tranquilizer known to alter the shape of normal erythrocytes and their osmotic fragility. In order to understand the nature of the interactions chlorpromazine.HCl (CPZ.HCl) was made to interact with phospholipid bilayers formed by dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). This study was carried out by X-ra...
