Improved cure method for single component silicone rubber
Water is incorporated in a carrier and then thoroughly mixed with the single component silicone rubber containing acetic anhydride as a curing agent. Because curing occurs with the water supplied internally, controlled curing is possible within a reasonable period of time, regardless of the thickness of the material.

Fundamental ignition study for material fire safety improvement, part 1
The investigation of preignition, ignition, and combustion characteristics of Delrin (acetate terminated polyformaldehyde) and Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) resins in air and oxygen are presented. The determination of ignition limits and their dependence on temperature and the oxidizing media, as well as the analyses of the volatiles produced, were studied. Tests were conducted in argon, an inert medium in which only purely pyrolytic reactions can take place, using the stagnation burner arrangement designed and constructed for this purpose. A theoretical treatment of the ignition and combination phenomena was devised. In the case of Delrin the ignition and ignition delays are apparently independent of the gas (air, oxygen) temperatures. The results indicate that hydrogen is the ignition triggering agent. Teflon ignition limits were established in oxygen only.

Dynamic considerations of dust on the television camera mirror
The mirror on the Surveyor 3 television camera was subjected to tests which modified its surface. Lunar dust was removed by rubbing, by acetate and metallic film stripping techniques, rinsing, scraping, and by inadvertently touching the surface. A second shadow line was revealed. Second and third generation peels were taken across the upper shadow line, and a study was made in order to define the source(s) or events(s) responsible for creating the two shadow lines occurring on the lower part of the mirror.

Hydrocarbon polymeric binder for advanced solid propellant
The results of curing vinyl alcohol terpolymers of ethylene, propylene and vinyl acetate are reported for an average functionality of 1.24 when reacted with an equivalent amount of diisocynate, and saturated polyisoprene derivative is described having terminal methyl ester functionality. The development is reported of two hydroxy-telechelic polyisoprenes prepared by DEAB initiated free radical polymerization followed by LiAlH4 reduction of the end groups.

Effects of exposing rats to 100% oxygen at 450 and 600 mm Hg on in vitro liver and adipose tissue lipid synthesis.
Male rats (260-285 gm) were exposed to 100% oxygen at 450 or 600 mm Hg for 1 to 4 days. Rats maintained at 450 mm Hg ate 92% the amount of food eaten by ad libitum controls maintained at sea level conditions. At 600 mm Hg, the food intake was 77% of the ad libitum controls. No difference was found in the plasma level of glucose, free fatty acids, and corticosterone between oxygen exposed rats and their respective pair-fed controls. The in vitro conversion of acetate into fatty acids by adipose tissue from rats exposed at 450 mm Hg for 2, 3, or 4 days was significantly increased above pair-fed controls and ad libitum controls. Increasing the oxygen pressure to 600 mm Hg abolished this increase, and in fact, reversed the increased synthesis to a significant decrease for the 4-day exposure.

Oxidation of vehicle components by photoproduced holes.
The oxidation by ZnO holes of vehicle components in thermal control coatings has been examined to develop experimental methods to study such reactions and to identify what components to avoid because of their instability when in the presence of u.v.-produced holes. Two methods were used that show consistent results. An electrochemical technique with a single crystal ZnO anode was used for quantitative comparisons, and electron spin resonance was used to study more practical powder/vehicle systems. Alcohols and dioxane were shown to be readily oxidized by ZnO holes, whereas acetonitrile, neopentane, and ethyl acetate were oxidation resistant. Some resistance to the photooxidation was provided by recombination centers.

Stopping rate of negative cosmic-ray muons near sea level.
A relatively simple method for measuring with high sensitivity the rate of stopped negative muons is described. A process in which Ar-37 is obtained from K-39 in connection with the stopping of a negative muon was used in the experiments. The Ar-37 activity can be measured in small proportional counters with extremely low backgrounds. It is possible to remove Ar-37 from potassium acetate powder at room temperature with almost 100 per cent efficiency merely by trapping the gas from the storage container with a charcoal trap at the liquid nitrogen temperature.

Improved design of electrophoretic equipment for rapid sickle-cell-anemia screening
Effective mass screening may be accomplished by modifying existing electrophoretic equipment in conjunction with multisample applicator used with cellulose-acetate-matrix test paper. Using this method, approximately 20 to 25 samples can undergo electrophoresis in 5 to 6 minutes.

"Dry-column" chromatography of plant pigments
Separation of plant pigments which can be accomplished on thin-layer silica plates with mixture of petroleum ether, halocarbon, acetone, and polar solvent can be readily translated into dry-column technique that yields reproducible chromatograms after elution in fashion of liquid chromatography with fluorimeter as detector. Best solvent system was found to be mixture of petroleum ether, dichloromethane, acetone, and ethyl acetate.

A new vegetation map of the western Seward Peninsula, Alaska, based on ERTS-1 imagery
The author has identified the following significant results. A reconstituted, simulated color-infrared ERTS-1 image covering the western Seward Peninsula was prepared and it is used for identifying and mapping vegetation types by direct visual examination. The image, NASA ERTS E-1009-22095, was obtained approximately at 1110 hours, 165 degrees WMT on August 1, 1972. Seven major colors are identified. Four of these are matched with units on existing vegetation maps: bright red - shrub thicket; light gray-red - upland tundra; medium gray-red - coastal coastal wet tundra; gray - alpine barrens. The three colors having no map equivalents are tentatively interpreted as follows: pink - grassland tundra; dark gray-red - burn scars; light orange-red - senescent vegetation. A vegetation map, drawn by tracing on an acetate overlay of the image is presented. Significantly more information is depicted than on existing maps with regards to vegetation types and their areal distribution. Furthermore the preparation of the new map from ERTS-1 imagery required little time relative to conventional methods and extent of areal coverage.

Design Modification of Electrophoretic Equipment
The improved design of a zone electrophoretic sampler is reported that can be used in mass screening for hemoglobin S, the cause of sickle cell anemia. Considered is a high voltage multicell cellulose acetate device that requires 5 to 6 minutes electrophoresis periods; cells may be activitated individually or simultaneously. A multisample hemoglobin applicator standardizes the amount of sample applied and transfers the homolysate to the electrical wires.
