A Theoretical Formulation Of The Hammett Equation, Gordon A. Gallup, W.R. Gilkerson, M.M. Jones Dec 1952

A Theoretical Formulation Of The Hammett Equation, Gordon A. Gallup, W.R. Gilkerson, M.M. Jones

Gordon Gallup Publications

A relation, which reduces to the form of Hammett's equation, has been derived. Reactions which can be assumed to be of the form ion-dipole or dipole-dipole have been considered. The logarithms of the ratios of rate constants were calculated and compared with experimental values in the form of Hammett's equation constants.


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

Robert Katz Publications

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.


Hydrogen Bond Energies In Carboxylic Acids, M.M. Jones, W.R. Gilkerson, Gordon A. Gallup Jun 1952

Hydrogen Bond Energies In Carboxylic Acids, M.M. Jones, W.R. Gilkerson, Gordon A. Gallup

Gordon Gallup Publications

A question of interest to the study of the chemisorption of carbon monoxide on iron is whether the carbon is desorbed with the same oxygen to which it was bonded prior to the adsorption. A mixture of C13O and CO18 in the desorbed gas in amounts greater than expected from normal abundance ratios shows that an intermolecular oxygen exchange occurs.


Chemical Reactions Near Equilibrium, W.R. Gilkerson, M.M. Jones, Gordon A. Gallup May 1952

Chemical Reactions Near Equilibrium, W.R. Gilkerson, M.M. Jones, Gordon A. Gallup

Gordon Gallup Publications

In seeming contradiction to usual deductions from thermodynamics, it has been shown by De Donderi on the basis of his affinity function, by Prigogine2 on the basis of the Chapman- Enskog model, and by Manes, Hofer, and Wellers using purely mathematical methods, that the rate of a chemical reaction close to equilibrium is directly proportional to the free energy difference between reactants and products. This relation may be shown to be a consequence of the theory of absolute reaction rates, also.


Radioactivity Of Eu152,154, Robert Katz, Milford R. Lee Mar 1952

Radioactivity Of Eu152,154, Robert Katz, Milford R. Lee

Robert Katz Publications

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.
