The retention and excretion of radioactive strontium and yttrium (Sr89, Sr90 and Y90) in the healthy rabbit

“…Early experiments with radio-active strontium Pecher and Pecher, 1941) showed that, by whatever route it is absorbed, it is laid down primarily in bone. This has been confirmed by much recent work (Hamilton, 1947 ;Copp et al, 1947 ;Lisco et al, 1947).In the experiments here described, the solutions of strontium isotopes as supplied by A.E.R.E., Harwell, contained varying proportions of a SrEs, SrsO and YsO equilibrium mixture. SrE9 has a half life of 53 days (Seaborg and Perlman, 1948), breaking down by 8-particle emission to stable YES.…”

“…Strontium and yttrium differ in chemical properties, strontium resembling the other members of group IIa, calcium, barium and radium, while yttrium behaves like the rare earths. Strontium and yttrium have been shown to behave differently in the body (Copp et al, 1947 ;Hamilton, 1947). Estimation of the yttrium after chemical separation or by the absorption method was not practicable at this stage.…”

Adjustment Differences between Married and Single Undergraduate University Students: An Historical Perspective

“…They studied a sample of married graduates from Ohio State University and reported that the factor considered most important by 83 percent of the respondents to their general happiness was a satisfying husband-wife relationship. They were unable to negate or verify the conclusions of Epler (1947), Hamilton (1947), Riemer (1947), and Taylor (1947). Samenfink and Milliken (1961) undertook to resolve the dilemma of the various research findings of differences in academic success levels of married and unmarried students in institutions of higher education.…”

“…They found that veterans showed greater academic adjustment only in technological areas. Epler (1947), Hamilton (1947), Riemer (1947), and Taylor (1947) had found a positive relationship between the presence of children and the academic adjustment of married students. These data, however, did not show greater academic achievement on the part of veterans, either married or single, when compared to nonveterans in science and social science courses.…”
