Abstract
We present a technique that allows measurement of a real-time 2D-image of the temperature distribution inside an NMR sample during an experiment involving rf-heating. NMR imaging methods have previously been used to project the temperature distribution inside an NMR sample onto a single spatial axis...

Abstract
Forty-five dogs with incompletely excised grade II mast cell tumors were treated with radiation using a cobalt 60 teletherapy unit (15 fractions of 3.2 Gy for a total of 48 Gy). Twenty-four of the dogs underwent prophylactic regional lymph node irradiation. Three (6.7%) dogs had tumor recurrence, tw...

Abstract
Determination of the intracellular water volumes using NMR spectroscopy was performed using the NMR-visible nuclei: 59Co and 2H or 1H. Accurate measurement of intracellular water in cell suspensions and perfused organs is an important physiological parameter in the context of electrolyte homeostasis...

Abstract
59Co and 23Na NMR has been applied to the layered cobalt oxides NaCoO(2) and HCoO(2) at three different magnetic field strengths (4.7, 7.1 and 11.7T). The 59Co and 23Na quadrupole and anisotropic shift tensors have been determined by iterative fitting of the NMR line shapes at the three magnetic fie...

Abstract
Practical contemporary radiotherapy dosimetry systems used for dose measurement and verification are ionization chambers (which typically have at least a 0.1 cm3 air cavity volume), thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and silicon diodes. However, during the last decade, there has been an increased i...

Abstract
We compared dosimetry based on the two most widespread absorbed dose based recommendations (AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398) with two air kerma based recommendations (NCS report-5 and IAEA TRS-381). Measurements were performed in three clinical electron beam energies using two NE2571-type cylindrical ch...

Abstract
Residual 60Co activity in five steel samples induced by neutrons from the Nagasaki atomic bomb has been measured within about 1000 m from the hypocenter. The chemical separation of cobalt and nickel from steel samples was performed, and cobalt-enriched samples were prepared for all samples. Gamma-ra...

Abstract
Mitotic compaction of chromatin was generated by treatment of cells with nocodazole. Alternatively, chromatin structure was altered by incubating cells in 500 mM NaCl. The irradiation response in the dose range of 1-10 Gy was measured by colony assay and by a modified fluorometric analysis of DNA un...

Abstract
Although magnesium fulfills several essential biochemical roles, direct studies on this ion are complicated by its unfavorable spectroscopic characteristics. This contribution explores the possibility of monitoring magnesium-nucleic acid binding via a combination of [Co(NH3)6]3+ as surrogate for [Mg...

Abstract
These results indicate that the yield coefficient alpha(dic) for 144 keV neutrons is similar to the one for 565 keV neutrons, and that modification of the alpha(dic) value of the low-LET reference radiation, due to changes in the experimental conditions, can influence the RBE(m). Consequently, alpha...

Abstract
We directly studied vitamin B-12 absorption from water, milk and fortified bread in adult subjects using (58)Co-labeled vitamin B-12 and a whole body gamma-ray counter/spectrophotometer. Sixteen healthy men and women over the age of 60 y with normal serum levels of vitamin B-12 and normal basal gast...

Abstract
I = 7/2 nuclei. From the 3QMAS NMR spectrum a spinning sideband manifold in the isotropic dimension with high resolution is reconstructed from the intensities of all spinning sidebands in the 3QMAS spectrum. The chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) parameters determined from this spectrum are compared wi...

Abstract
Insufficient fitness of experimental data with convenient linear and linear-quadratic models of "dose-effect" dependence for the number of chromosome aberrations of different types were revealed. Proposed method of approximation of the experimental "dose-effect" dependence with piece-linear splines...

Abstract
The first investigation and analysis of (59)Co 2D NMR homonuclear chemical shift correlation spectra are reported for the tetrahedral mixed-metal cluster HFeCo(3)(CO)(11)PPh(2)H. For this cluster in solution, the (59)Co 2D COSY and DQF COSY NMR spectra prove the existence of a scalar coupling betwee...

Abstract
I = 7/2. The possibilities of the MQMAS spectroscopy for determining the relative orientation of the two tensors and its advantage over previous techniques are discussed. Reported experimental spectra at different spinning speeds of Na3Co(NO2)6 are accurately reproduced by our theoretical simulation...

Abstract
I describe a few recent developments in NMR studies of quadrupolar nuclei and demonstrate the potential of solid-state quadrupolar NMR in the study of biological systems. In particular, I discuss the application of solid-state NMR of (17)O, 67Zn, 59Co, 23Na, and 39K nuclei with a prognosis for futur...

Abstract
We provide direct evidence that the vitronectin receptor (VNR) is a metalloprotein. The unique electron shell of Co(II), an ion which we show supports ligand recognition by VNR, enables its oxidative conversion to inert Co(III). This property facilitated "affinity labeling" of VNR with 58Co(III) by...

Abstract
Experiments were made to determine the dependence of CO3(3-) signal intensity on radiation dose in the low dose region from 3.1 x 10(-4) C/kg to 865.6 x 10(-4) C/kg. After all human tooth enamel samples were crushed into 350-500 micrometers particles, they were irradiated with 60Co gamma rays. Irrad...

The isotopic exchange method is studied for the simultaneous determination of radioactive and stable isotopes of cobalt in environmental samples. Radioactive cobalt is isotopically exchanged with Co-CyDTA in HC1 solution of the sample. The solvent extraction method is used for the separation of Co2+...

Abstract
Two kinds of mussel, Septifer virgatus and Mytilus edulis, were collected from Kyushu island, Japan, in order to elucidate a background level of 60Co, which is one of the most significant radionuclide for environmental monitoring around a nuclear power plant. The mussels were collected from 7 locati...

Abstract
The dicarboxylate radical -OOC--CH--CH(OH)COO- was generated in an N2O-saturated fumarate solution by high energy ionizing radiation. When NADH was present in the solution, product analysis indicated a stoichiometry of 2 molecules of the radical reacted with 1 NADH molecule to form 2 malate and 1 en...
