In a transmission microscopy study of iron and dilute iron base alloys, it was determined that it is possible to preserve specimens for extended periods of time. Our specimens were prepunched from 5 to 8 mil sheet to microscope size and annealed for several hours at 700°C. They were then thinned in a glacial acetic-12 percent perchloric acid solution using 10 volts and 20 milliamperes, at a temperature of 8 to 14°C.It was noted that by the use of a cold stage, the same specimen can be observed for periods up to one week without excess contamination. When removal of the specimen from the column becomes necessary, it was observed that a specimen may be kept for later observation in 1,2 dichloroethene or methanol for periods in excess of two weeks.

An anodic oxide film is formed on aluminum in an acidic elecrolyte during anodizing. The structure of the oxide film was observed directly by carbon replica method(l) and ultra-thin sectioning method(2). The oxide film consists of barrier layer and porous layer constructed with fine hexagonal cellular structure. The diameter of micro pores and the thickness of barrier layer depend on the applying voltage and electrolyte. Because the dimension of the pore corresponds to that of colloidal particles, many metals deposit in the pores. When the oxide film is treated as anode in emulsion of polyelectrolyte, the emulsion particles migrate onto the film and deposit on it. We investigated the behavior of the emulsion particles during electrodeposition.Aluminum foils (99.3%) were anodized in either 0.25M oxalic acid solution at 30°C or 3M sulfuric acid solution at 20°C. After washing with distilled water, the oxide films used as anode were coated with emulsion particles by applying voltage of 200V and then they were cured at 190°C for 30 minutes.

SummaryIntravenous injection of 0.5% lauric acid solution into rabbits caused moderate to marked thrombocytopenia. With small doses (2.5 mg/kg) this thrombocyte decrease was reversible and microscopically demonstrable thrombosis in the lungs was only seen or suspected in a small number of rabbits 10 to 30 min after lauric acid injection. High doses were followed by partly reversible thrombocytopenia and by moderate to marked, sometimes lethal, thrombosis in the lungs still demonstrable 24 hrs after injection. Repeated administration of small doses of lauric acid did not lead to a depletion of the circulating thrombocytes. Thrombocytopenic response, however, appeared to be less pronounced after the second and subsequent injections. Studies with Cr51-labeled platelets indicate that during the reversible thrombocytopenia following a small intravenous dose of lauric acid platelets are retained in various organs, particularly the lungs.

Some ways of estimating the values of the intrinsic viscosity of chitosan were analyzed. It was shown that the method of Irzhak and Baranov for estimating the current value of the intrinsic viscosity allows to adequately estimates the conformational state of the macromolecular coil and its degree of swelling.

The content of uranium and plutonium is the main characteristic of mixed uranium-plutonium oxide fuel, which is strictly controlled and has a very narrow range of the permissible values. We focused on developing a technique for measuring mass fractions of uranium and plutonium by controlled potential coulometry using a coulometric unit UPK-19 in set with a R-40Kh potentiostat-galvanostat. Under conditions of sealed enclosures, a special design of the support stand which minimized the effect of fluctuations in ambient conditions on the signal stability was developed. Optimal conditions for coulometric determination of plutonium and uranium mass fractions were specified. The sulfuric acid solution with a molar concentration of 0.5 mol/dm3 was used as a medium. Lead ions were introduced into the background electrolyte to decrease the minimum voltage of hydrogen reduction to –190 mV. The addition of aluminum nitride reduced the effect of fluoride ions participating as a catalyst in dissolving MOX fuel samples, and the interfering effect of nitrite ions was eliminated by introducing a sulfamic acid solution into the cell. The total content of uranium and plutonium was determined by evaluation of the amount of electricity consumed at the stage of uranium and plutonium co-oxidation. Plutonium content was measured at the potentials, at which uranium remains in the stable state, which makes it possible to subtract the contribution of plutonium oxidation current from the total oxidation current. The error characteristics of the developed measurement technique were evaluated using the standard sample method and the real MOX fuel pellets. The error limits match the requirements set out in the specifications for MOX fuel. The technique for measuring mass fractions of uranium and plutonium in uranium-plutonium oxide nuclear fuel was certified. The relative measurement error of the mass fraction of plutonium and uranium was ±0.0070 and ±0.0095, respectively. The relative error of the ratio of the plutonium mass fraction to the sum of mass fractions of uranium and plutonium was ±0.0085.
