Radiation effects in reindeer

Investigation of frictional forces -Experimental techniques and working conditions in the high voltage electron microscope have already been described (1). Care has been taken in order to minimize both surface and radiation effects under deformation conditions.Dislocation densities and velocities are measured on the records of the deformation. It can be noticed that mobile dislocation densities can be far below the total dislocation density in the operative system. The local strain-rate can be deduced from these measurements. The local flow stresses are deduced from the curvature radii of the dislocations when the local strain-rate reaches the values of ∿ 10-4 s-1.For a straight screw segment of length L moving by double-kink nucleation between two pinning points, the velocity is :where ΔG(τ) is the activation energy and lc the critical length for double-kink nucleation. The term L/lc takes into account the number of simultaneous attempts for double-kink nucleation on the dislocation line.

Environmental Sem

The advent of the environmental SEM (ESEM) has made possible the examination of uncoated and untreated specimen surfaces in the presence of a gaseous or liquid environment. However, the question arises as to what degree the examined surface remains unaffected by the action of the electron beam. It is reasonable to assume that the beam invariably affects all specimens but the type and degree of effect may be totally unimportant for one class of applications and totally unacceptable for another; yet, for a third class, it is imperative to know how our observations are modified by the presence of the beam. The aim of this report is to create an awareness of the need to initiate research work in various fields in order to determine the guiding rules of the limitations (or even advantages) due to irradiation.

High Doses

The effects of radioimmunotherapy were tested in xenografts of 2 different human pancreatic carcinomas comparing the intravenous and intratumoral application. On principle, intravenous injections of high doses of 131l-anti- Ca 19-9 or -BW 494/32 may inhibit tumor growth. In view of the low direct radiation dose (360-2100 rad), however, other factors than direct toxic effects have to be discussed, e. g. systemic effects due to the high whole-body irradiation. Intratumoral application, however, may induce tumor regression or growth inhibition due to the high local irradiation dose. Consequently, this treatment modality might be of clinical value at least in some patients.
