PART VIII Consumption and the Environment

The consumption of the average U.S. citizen requires eighteen tons of natural resources per person per year and generates an even higher volume of wastes (including household, industrial, mining, and agricultural wastes). Some of these wastes are released to the atmosphere, rivers, and oceans; others are landfilled or incinerated; a small proportion are recycled. The standard conception of econ...

Studies on the Purification and Characterization of Human Factor VIII

The purified factor VIII has been found to be a macromolecular glycoprotein with a major subunit of 240,000, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Carbohydrate analysis of factor VIII gave values of 1% sialic acid, 2.8% hexosamine, and 1-2% hexose (mannose, galactose, and fucose). The lipid content was found to be less than 5% of the protein content, and i...

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...
