The first session of the General Conference was held in Vienna, Austria, the permanent seat of the Agency, in October, 1957. The main objective of the Agency is "to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world". Printed in Austria by Paul Gerin, Vienna January 1962 PROCEEDINGS SERIES TRITIUM IN THE PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES I PROCEEDINGS OF THE SYMPOSIUM ON THE DETECTION AND USE OF TRITIUM IN THE PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES SPONSORED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY IN CO-OPERATION WITH THE JOINT COMMISSION ON APPLIED RADIOACTIVITY AND HELD IN VIENNA, 3 —10MAY1961 INTERNATI ONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY VIENNA 1962 TRITIUM IN THE PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES IAEA, VIENNA, 1962 STI/PUB/39 FOREWORD The use of tritium for research in physics, chemistry, biology and hydrology has in recent years become increasingly important. It was for this reason that the first international conference to discuss the progress of new developments was organized by the IAEA in conjunction with the Joint Commission on Applied Radioactivity and held from 3 — 10 May 1961, in Vienna. The first five sessions of the Symposium were devoted to the use of tritium in hydrology, physics and chemistry. Special emphasis was laid on the role of tritium as a tracer in hydrology, especially in the study of water movement. The establish- ment and improvement of counting and detection techniques to facilitate the application of tritium as a tracer was another aspect discussed in this part of the proceedings. Papers were read on the preparation of tritiated compounds and it was generally agreed that further clarification of the mechanism of various techniques, and of the Wilzbach gas exposure technique in particular, would lead to further developments in the synthesis of a number of tritium compounds important in biology. Other papers were concerned with tritium applications to studies of the mechanism of some chemical reactions together with the effects of tritium isotopes. During the second part of the Symposium the biological applications of tritium and tritiated compounds were discussed. These included general problems connected with the biological uses of tritium and the radiation effects of tritium on living organisms such as viruses, bacteria and cancer cells. The value of tritium in biological studies became apparent because of the ease with which a large number of meta- bolically active compounds such as hormones, vitamins and other important con- stituents in the body can be labelled with tritium. Tritium is also a weak beta-emitter and autoradiographies of tissues and single cells containing tritium-labelled com- pounds allow an excellent localization of the tracer. The Symposium was attended by some 290 scientists from 27 countries and five international organizations who altogether contributed a total of 67 papers. The Agency believes that the publications of the proceedings will not only provide information for a wider public but will also help to stimulate further research in the use of tritium.

  • Selective Production of Phase-Separable Product from a Mixture of Biomass-Derived Aqueous Oxygenates
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-07593-0 OPEN Selective production of phase-separable product from a mixture of biomass-derived aqueous oxygenates Yehong Wang 1, Mi Peng2, Jian Zhang1, Zhixin Zhang1, Jinghua An1,3, Shuyan Du1, Hongyu An1,3, Fengtao Fan1, Xi Liu 4,5, Peng Zhai2, Ding Ma 2 & Feng Wang1 1234567890():,; Selective conversion of an aqueous solution of mixed oxygenates produced by biomass fermentation to a value-added single product is pivotal for commercially viable biomass utilization. However, the efficiency and selectivity of the transformation remains a great challenge. Herein, we present a strategy capable of transforming ~70% of carbon in an aqueous fermentation mixture (ABE: acetone–butanol–ethanol–water) to 4-heptanone (4- HPO), catalyzed by tin-doped ceria (Sn-ceria), with a selectivity as high as 86%. Water (up to 27 wt%), detrimental to the reported catalysts for ABE conversion, was beneficial for producing 4-HPO, highlighting the feasibility of the current reaction system. In a 300 h continuous reaction over 2 wt% Sn-ceria catalyst, the average 4-HPO selectivity is main- tained at 85% with 50% conversion and > 90% carbon balance. This strategy offers a route for highly efficient organic-carbon utilization, which can potentially integrate biological and chemical catalysis platforms for the robust and highly selective production of value-added chemicals. 1 State Key Laboratory of Catalysis, Dalian National Laboratory for Clean Energy, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian 116023, China. 2 College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering and College of Engineering, BIC-ESAT, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.

The experiments are designed so that, in the cases explored, the local excitations and the corresponding heat capacities determine the observed nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times. The results indicate well-defined excitation energies for low densities of methane and hydrogen deuteride in zeolite structures. The values obtained for methane are consistent with Monte Carlo calculations of A.V. Kumar et al. The results also confirm the high mobility and diffusivity of hydrogen deuteride in zeolite structures at low temperatures as observed by neutron scattering. Keywords: nuclear resonance; spin-lattice relaxation; heat capacity; mesoporous structures 1. Introduction There is currently wide interest in the thermodynamic properties of light gases constrained to the interior of microporous structures that include metal organic frameworks [1–3] and classical zeolitic structures [4] because of the potential use of these structures for storage and transport [5–8], and catalytic conversion [9] of light molecular gases (H2, CH4, CO2, CO, etc.).

  • Heavy-Water Production Using Amine-Hydrogen Exchange
    HEAVY-WATER PRODUCTION USING AMINE-HYDROGEN EXCHANGE Development of the amine-hydrogen process for heavy-water production involves a large research and development program at CRNL supplemented by contracts with industry and universities. Four major areas of work are: — process design and optimization — process chemistry — deuterium exchange in gas-liquid contactors — materials for construction This article, which is the third in a series to appear in this publication, describes the development of equipment for efficient exchange of deuterium between hydrogen gas and amine liquid. The process flowsheet and the chemistry of aminomethane solu- tions of potassium methylamide catalyst were described previously^ >2). Efficient countercurrent, multistage contacting of liquid amine and hydrogen gas in hot and cold towers are required in this process. The unusually large separation factors possible with amine-hydrogen exchange are an important advantage. A major development program is aimed at the full exploitation of this advantage by achieving rapid exchange in the cold tower. Increasing the difference between the hot and cold tower temperatures decreases the required gas flow rate and number of theoretical plates. As the cold tower temperature is lowered plate efficiency falls, tower fabrication is more expensive and refrigeration costs rise; the range of interest is -100 to 0°F. The upper limit on hot column temperature is set by the vapor pressure of the aminomethane and chemical stability of the catalyst solution. Temperatures up to 160°F are attractive. The exchange reaction HD + CH3NH2 „ » H2 + CH3NHD occurs in the liquid phase a^d consists/of two steps: physical absorption and chemical ^reaction. Mass transfer is controlled by the diffusion of hydrogen in a thin liquid reaction zone near the gas-liquid interface.

Preface The ASWA VI meeting was held at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, from 30th August-1st September 2002, timetabled to follow on the heels of the ICAZ meeting in Durham, UK. Over 55 participants attended the meeting, travelling from 13 countries, bringing the latest re- search results from our field. As usual, it was a pleasure to see so many doctoral students presenting their research – a sign for a very healthy future for zooarchaeology in south west Asia. It is still un- fortunate, however, that colleagues from some Middle Eastern countries were unable to attend due to financial and political constraints. Presentations were organized into the following six themes, which highlight the scope of the ASWA membership: Animals in Palaeolithic and Epipalaeolithic Levant; Neolithic Patterns of Animal Use; Animals in Neolithic Anatolia; Animals in the Chalcolithic and Bronze Ages; Iron Age, Nabatean and Roman Patterns of Animal Use; Animals in Ancient Egypt.

  • Development of the Polarized Hydrogen-Deuteride (HD) Target for Double-Polarization Experiments at LEPS
    Development of the Polarized Hydrogen-Deuteride (HD) Target for Double-Polarization Experiments at LEPS Takeshi Ohta Department of Physics & Research Center for Nuclear Physics Osaka University Advisor: Mamoru Fujiwara, Masaru Yosoi, Hideki Kohri 2012 t c je T Ho argDet Pr 2 Development of the Polarized Hydrogen-Deuteride (HD) Target for Double-Polarization Experiments at LEPS (LEPS 二重偏極実験の為の偏極重水素化水素標的の開発) 3 Abstract Hadron photoproduction experiments without a polarized target have been car- ried out in the laser-electron photon facility beam-line at SPring-8 (LEPS) since 2000. The hadron photoproduction of the ϕ, K, η, and π0 mesons is studied by using linearly polarized photon beams with energies of Eγ = 1:5 ∼ 2:9 GeV. At the LEPS facility, linearly and circularly polarized photons are produced by Backward- Compton scattering. An experiment for measuring a complete set of spin observables is expected to give important information to investigate the nucleon hidden struc- ture and hadron photoproduction dynamics. Introduction of the polarized target is expected to conduct the LEPS experiment to the next stage. We plan to carry out hadron photoproduction experiments by using polarized photon beams and the po- larized target. We have started to develop the polarized Hydrogen-Deuteride (HD) target since 2005. A polarized HD target is prepared at Research Center for Nuclear Physics Osaka University, and will be installed in the LEPS beam-line at SPring-8. As a first step, we produced the polarized HD target in 2008-2009. The HD gas was fed to a dilution refrigerator, and was solidified. Then, the HD was cooled down to 14 mK with a high magnetic field of 17 T.
