Description/Abstract:
COMPLETE TITLE: CONTRACT NUMBER DA-49-146-XZ-029. CONTRACT FOR: RESEARCH RELATING TO STUDY THE PHENOMENON OF AMINO-ACIDURIA FOLLOWING IRRADIATION (1 JANUARY 1960 - 28 FEBRUARY 1961) WITH UCCM (SIGNED 01 MARCH 1960, EFFECTIVE 01 JANUARY 1960); THIS DOCUMENT IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN DASA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI SIGNED 01 MARCH 1960. THE OVER-ALL OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH WERE TO STUDY THE PHENOMENON OF AMINO-ACIDURIA FOLLOWING IRRADIATION, CLARIFY SOME OF THE MECHANISMS RESPONSIBLE FOR AMINO-ACIDURIA, AND DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS A PRACTICAL BIOLOGICAL TEST OF RADIATION EXPOSURE. THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH READ AS FOLLOWS: "...COMPARISON OF TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINATION OF URINARY AMINO ACIDS BY THE VAN SLYKE AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES, DETERMINATION OF EXCRETION OF URINARY AMINO ACIDS AT VARIOUS DOSAGES OF TOTAL BODY IRRADIATION, A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF PARTIAL VERSES TOTAL BODY IRRADIATION ON URINARY ACID EXCRETION, AND STUDIES OF THE IMMUNE MECHANISMS OF HUMANS RECEIVING TOTAL BODY IRRADIATION.
