Isotopes afford an extremely useful means for following the absorption and transport of
materials in plants and for elucidating the metabolic reactions of plants. The potentialities of …

In the preface the author states that" a primary purpose of this volume is to bring home to the
student and investigator an appreciation and understanding of how radio-isotopes can fit …

The isotope solution is adjusted to the desired pH and so diluted that the required amount of
activity per application is contained in each ml. Each 1-ml. unit is then placed in a shell vial …

This series of books on Radiotracers in Biology and Medicine is on the one hand an
unbelievably expansive enterprise and on the other hand, a most noble one as well. Tools to …

The investigation of the absorption of lead by plants can be carried out quite simply by
dipping them into a solution which contains a radioactive isotope of lead, and determining …

Part I Tracer methods can yield valid results only if the behaviour of the tracer within the
plant is indistinguishable from that of the normal element. The extent to which radioactive …

When radioactive isotopes are applied to the foliage of plants varying amounts of the
isotopes may be subsequently lost from the plants when they are kept in dry conditions …

Natural radionuclides are always present in the environment and, together with those made
by man in the past thirty or more years, differentially move through geochemical and …
