Internal Fissuring Of Wheat Due To Weathering, Max Milner, J. A. Shellenberger, M. R. Lee, Robert Katz Sep 1952

Internal Fissuring Of Wheat Due To Weathering, Max Milner, J. A. Shellenberger, M. R. Lee, Robert Katz

Radiographic technique developed at this Station for the determination of internal or hidden insect infestation in stored grain has proved to be useful for the detection of other physical anomalies in grains. Practical applications of this sort include the detection of cracked or broken kernels in rough rice (paddy) prior to milling as well as the extent of internal fracturing of certain grains such as maize due to uneven stresses arising from severe drying conditions. This communication deals with a condition of internal fissuring occurring in wheat due to weathering of the ripened grain in the field.

Although the spectrographic analysis accompanying several enriched samarium isotopes from Oak Ridge contained <0.6 percent europium, some of the more intense internal conversion lines attributed to the disintegration of europium have been found photographically with neutron-activated samarium isotopes in a 180° focusing β-ray spectrograph.


Radiography Applied To Grain And Seeds, Max Milner, Milford R. Lee, Robert Katz Feb 1952

Radiography Applied To Grain And Seeds, Max Milner, Milford R. Lee, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

A radiographic method for the detection of internal insect infestation in grain by means of low energy radiation from a cobalt-target beryllium-window X-ray tube is described. The utility of the technic for inspection of wheat, corn, rice, and beans is illustrated with cuts made from original radiographs.
