55 Saam, Brian3He spin exchange cells for magnetic resonance imagingWe present a protocol for the consistent fabrication of glass cells to provide hyperpolarized (HP) 3He for pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging. The method for producing HP 3He is spin-exchange optical pumping. The valved cells must hold of order 1 atm.L of gas at up to 15 atm pressure. Because char...3He; Spin exchange cells; Hyperpolarized 3He; Pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging; Spin-exchange optical pumping; SEOP; Glass cells2002

61 Poulter, Charles DaleTetartohedral twinning in IDI-2 from Thermus thermophilus: crystallization under anaerobic conditionsType-2 isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI-2) is a key flavoprotein involved in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids. Since fully reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNH2) is needed for activity, it was decided to crystallize the enzyme under anaerobic conditions in order to understand how this reduced co...2014-01-01
62 Kestle, John R. W.Lack of benefit of endoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion: a multicenter randomized trialObject. Endoscopically assisted ventricular catheter placement has been reported to reduce shunt failure in uncontrolled series. The authors investigated the efficacy of this procedure in a prospective multicenter randomized trial. Methods. Children younger than 18 years old who were scheduled for t...Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Shunt insertion; Shunt failure2003
63 Sperry, John S.Winter xylem embolism and spring recovery in Betula cordifolia, Fagus grandifolia, Abies balsamea, and Picea rubensXylem embolism was monitored from mid-winter to mid-summer in four co-occurring species: Betula cordifolia (Reg.) Fern., Fagus grandifolia Ehrh., Abies balsamea (L.) Mill., Picea rubens Sarg. The study site was a west-facing slope in the northern Green Mountains of Vermont, U.S.A.; Betula and conife...Conductivity; Hydraulic; Trees1993
64 Ailion, David CharlesNew NMR techniques to study diffusion in multispin crystalsWe present a new NMR method for studying slow diffusion in multispin systems. With this method we can vary the effect of a particular spin species' motion relative to the others, thus enabling us to separate and identify the component motions. We present a new pulse sequence for measuring T1L', a ge...NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Crystals; Nuclear-spin species; Diffusion; Molecular rotations1977
65 Linton, Matthew J.Hydraulic conductivity, xylem cavitation, and water potential for succulent leaves of agave deserti and agave tequilanaAxial hydraulic conductivity (Kh) was measured for fresh, dehydrated, and rehydrated leaves of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) leaf succulents, Agave deserti and Agave tequilana. Dehydration of leaves at 35(o)C for several hours caused Kh to decrease, with a 50% decrease occurring at a leaf w...Transpiration; Dehydrated; Drought2001

70 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Specific heat of decamethylferrocenium tetracyanoethanide (DMeFc)(TCNE)We report the specific heat C(T) of (DMeFc)(TCNE) for temperatures 3 K < T < 50 K. We observe an anomaly at Tc-4.82 K corresponding to a transition to a three-dimensional (3D) macroscopic ferromagnet. A broad maximum at = 15 K corresponds to an exchange interaction of J = 35 K along the chain axis. ...Temperature; Ferromagnetic; Magnetic1989

72 Eckhoff, David W.Drought happens: get used to it! Will technology help us to survive?Drought is not the most popular subject in the world. Actually, as opposed to death, I think there are some bright spots in the drought mitigation future. I will review some of these in this lecture, but I'm also going to discuss some of the downsides of drought, because you can't have one without t...Wastewater reclamation; Tiered water rates2002-09-10
