    Radioisotope Experiments for Schools and Colleges describes some radioisotope experiments to delineate atomic events and to provide evidence of the particulate nature of matter. This book is divided into nine chapters, and starts with a discussion on the fundamental of radioisotope, including radioactivity, atomic structure, decay kinetics, radiation-matter interaction, gamma radiation, and isotope production. The subsequent chapters deal with the nuclear radiation measurement methods and the occurrence of natural radioisotopes. These topics are followed by a review of the effect of radiation from external and internal sources on biological tissues. This book also provides demonstration experiments during elementary lectures on radioactivity or, in some cases, by individual pupils and do not involve any accurate measurement. The concluding chapters are devoted to specific experiments using naturally occurring radioisotopes, and sealed and unsealed artificially produced isotopes. This book is of value to physics teachers and students.

  • Selected Readings in Chromatography

    The Commonwealth and International Library: Selected Readings in Analytical Chemistry
    • 1st Edition
    • R. J. Magee
    • English
    Selected Readings in Chromatography describes the series of extractions by adsorption or partition involved in chromatography. This book discusses the counter-current process that is analogous to fractional distillation. The text describes the use of thin-layer chromatography that combines the advantages of column chromatography with the rate of speed achieved in paper chromatography. The book explains chromatography with electrophoresis when used with paper or with amino acids. The text analyzes the phenomena of an ion exchanger first observed by Thompson in 1845, as well as the two types of ion-exchange resins, namely, anion exchangers and cation exchangers. Experiments conducted verify the theory of the partition columns which has been extended to cover a compressible mobile phase. The book also compares the two methods of calculating the height equivalent of a theoretical plate in the partition columns; the book also discusses the factor influencing the degree of separation. The book describes gas-liquid partition columns during separation of volatile fatty acids from formic acid to dodecanoic acid. This book is intended for students of sixth formers, of technical schools, and undergraduates of biochemistry or analytical chemistry.

    Lymphatics and Lymph Circulation: Physiology and Pathology is a comprehensive account of the physiology and pathology of lymphatics and lymph circulation, with emphasis on the question of lymph flow as well as the problems of capillary filtration and diffusion in the connective tissue. These intricate processes are explained from a uniform point of view. Comprised of 27 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on the origin and architecture of the lymphatic system, paying particular attention to the discovery of lymphatics and lymph circulation; the phylogenesis and ontogenesis of lymphatics; and general and special anatomy of the lymphatic system. The second part explores the general physiology and pathology of the lymphatic system and includes chapters dealing with the role of the connective tissue in lymph formation; absorption into lymph capillaries; filtration and absorption through serous membranes; and lymph flow and composition. The remaining chapters consider the central nervous system and other organs such as the heart, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. This monograph will be useful for students, practitioners, and researchers in physiology and pathology.

    Synaptic Constituents in Health and Disease is a collection of papers from the Proceedings of the Third Meeting of the European Society for Neurochemistry held in Yugoslavia, on August 31-September 5, 1980. This collection deals with gene analysis, the diagnosis, and treatment of inherent errors in metabolism. One paper discusses the role of vesicles in cholinergic systems in terms of the vesicle hypothesis or the cytosol hypothesis. Another paper focuses on the molecular organization of chromaffin granulles—the catecholamine-storin... vesicles of the adrenal medulla. One author discusses the interaction between antibodies and receptors in receptors such as insulin, TSH, prolactin, or estrogens. Another paper examines the occurrence and postulated functions of trans-synaptic structures to find out whether some kind of structural continuity exists, beyond mere contact, between the plasma membranes of two synapsing neurons. One other paper shows that morphological evidences of damage on nerve cells in some brain areas are found after gerbils inhaling an industrial solvent, trichloroethylene (TCE), The paper also discusses general topics in neurochemistry such as the DNA turnover in rat cerebral cortex. This collection can prove invaluable for biologists, medical and chemical researchers, molecular scientists, and the neuro-chemist investigators.

    Covert Conditioning deals with covert conditioning procedures, the rationale underlying their use, and their potential application (either singly or in combination) to a variety of clinical problems. Each procedure's most representative use in clinical practice is described, and results of experimental analogue studies as well as reports of promising breakthroughs in the application of covert conditioning techniques to new clinical problems are discussed. A broad range of target behaviors, clinical settings, and client populations is also examined. This book is comprised of 36 chapters and opens with an overview of the theoretical background of covert conditioning and evidence to support its basic underlying assumptions. Each of the next six chapters introduces one of the major covert conditioning techniques (covert sensitization, covert reinforcement, covert negative reinforcement, covert extinction, covert modeling, and covert response cost) and presents experimental analogue evidence (if available) of its efficacy. The use of each procedure in treating a number of clinical target behaviors is also discussed. The final section describes the clinical application of combinations of covert conditioning techniques to a variety of problems. This monograph will be a useful resource for psychologists and behavioral therapists.
