Surveys of commercial markets combined with molecular taxonomy (i.e. molecular monitoring) provide a means to detect products from illegal, unregulated and/or unreported (IUU) exploitation, including the sale of fisheries bycatch and wild meat (bushmeat). Capture-recapture analyses of market products using DNA profiling have the potential to estimate the total number of individuals entering the...

Flerov Laboratory Nuclear Reactions. Described here assembly 100 BC-404 plastic scintillators, intended neutron detection, annular Si detector telescope 3He recoi...

Uranium is an alpha-emitting, radioactive, heavy metal that occurs naturally in nearly all rocks and soils. Twenty-two isotopic forms of uranium have been identified, mainly associated with nuclear reactor operations or high-energy physics experiments; the most prevalent isotopes found in the environment are the three naturally-occurring isotopes: U, U, and U. Most uranium isotopes undergo deca...

There is no organometalic compound of Indium known to exist naturally in the human body. However, a number of compounds prepared with ¹¹¹In have been evaluated for localization studies. The useful radioactive decay characteristics and the suitable chemical properties of the metal ion have drawn attention of many investigators resulting in the preparation of numerous ¹¹¹In labeled compound...

A general program was written which simulates radioactive labeling of RNA in viva. The program was used to determine the effect that different -distributions of half-lives would have on the composite decay curve observed in a pulse-chase experiment. Four biologically relevant points emerge: 1) The published, experimentally determined composite decay curves for eukaryotic mRNA are not compatible...
