The interest in the detection of radioargon isotopes--³⁷Ar, ³⁹Ar, and ⁴²Ar--is increasing important for on-site inspections within the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification regime. In an underground nuclear explosion ³⁷Ar is produced by ⁴⁰Ca(n,[alpha])³⁷Ar reaction in surrounding soil and rock. With a half-life of 35 days, ³⁷Ar provides a signal useful for confirming the location of an underground nuclear event. The development of detector systems is underway. This work produced radioargon isotopes by three methods for the development and testing of radioargon detection systems. The irradiation of argon gas at natural enrichment in the 3L facility within the Mark II TRIGA reactor facility at The University of Texas at Austin provides a source of ³⁷Ar for the calibration of the ULBPC in development at PNNL. The ⁴¹Ar activity is measured by the gamma activity using an HPGe detector after the sample is removed from the core. Using the ⁴¹Ar/³⁷Ar production ratio and the ⁴¹Ar activity, the amount of ³⁷Ar created is calculated. The ⁴¹Ar decays quickly (half-life of 109.34 minutes) leaving a radioactive sample of high purity ³⁷Ar and only trace levels of ³⁹Ar. The second method was the irradiation of a calcium-containing compound. This option is not the best match for the TRIGA reactor type due to the thermal neutron flux. Therefore, the use of the Cd-lined 3L irradiation canister minimized the thermal activation of impurities while still allowing the majority of the ⁴⁰Ca(n,[alpha])³⁷Ar reactions occur. The third and last irradiation technique was a large volume, in-core gas facility developed at The University of Texas at Austin MARK II TRIGA reactor to produce a sample of ⁴²Ar with an activity above 1 mBq. The method requires a large volume, 1.4 L, of natural argon gas (99.6003% ⁴⁰Ar) at about 1 atm and three-12 hour irradiation periods. The production of ⁴²Ar requires a double capture to be produced from the stable 40Ar isotope. This method produced 940 kBq of ³⁹Ar, 3.08 MBq ³⁷Ar, 114 GBq ⁴¹Ar, and 0.311 Bq ⁴²Ar at the end of the final irradiation period. / text

Tumörmarkörer är substanser som frisätts i kroppsvätskor från cancerceller. Markörerna används inom sjukvården för att upptäcka och följa upp maligna sjukdomar med analyser av markörerna i serum/plasma. Tre av dessa är cancerantigenerna CA 125, CA 15-3 och CA 19-9. Syftet med studien var att verifiera analysmetoden för tumörmarkörerna CA 125, CA 15-3 och CA 19-9 på två Roche Cobas e411 instrument (instrument 1 och 2) inför införandet av dessa vid avdelningen för klinisk kemi och transfusionsmedicin, Lnadstinget Kalmar län. De av företaget rekommenderade cut-off värdena på Roche Cobas e411 (Roche Diagnostics) är för CA 125 <35 kU/l, för CA 15-3 ≤25 kU/l och för CA 19-9 <27 kU/l. Precisionen beräknades med hjälp av statistiska metoder genom analys av den mellanliggande precisionen (mätning av två kontrollnivåer under 5 dagar) och repeterbarheten (analys av två kontrollnivåer i en serie). En korrelationsstudie gjordes med patientprover som erhölls från Aleris Medilab (Abbot Architect i System). Den mellanliggande precisionenn resulterade i högre variationskoefficientvärden (CV %) för samtliga tre markörer i förhållande till ett åsatt CV från Roche Diagnostics. CV värdet skilde även mellan de två Roche Cobas e411 instrumenten. Repeterbarheten bedömdes vara acceptabel för samtliga tre markörer. Korrelationsstudien visade en skillnad i de uppmätta värdena mellan Roche Cobas e411 och Abbot Architect för samtliga tre markörer. Då Roche Cobas e411 tenderade att ge högre uppmätta värden (kU/l) (54 av 85 gånger). Samstämmigheten mellan metoderna var bra då det endast var två prover vid analys av CA 15-3 och två prover vid analys av CA 19-9 som var på skilda sidor om cut-off värdet. Sammanfattningsvis visade studien att den mellanliggande precisisonen (CV-värdet) för alla tre markörerna var högre än Roche Diagnostics angivna CV värde. Olika CV värden erhölls med Roche Cobas e411 jämfört med Abbot Architect. Olika CV värden erhölls också med instrument 1 jämfört med instrument 2. Precisionen anses vara tillräckligt god för införandet av metoderna i rutinbruk.

It is difficult to ascertain the reason why the Lives of Suetonius have been so neglected by English-speaking scholars. In the historical significance of the period they cover, in the light they throw upon Roman life and manners and as a rich mine of anecdotes concerning Roman emperors, they have always been regarded as a most important source of information. There have been, however, few commentaries devoted to the Lives. The Galba has been particularly disregarded. Not since Mooney's edition of 1930 has there been any complete English commentary on the Life. However, other factors than the lack of a recent edition contributed to the choice of the Galba as the subject of this thesis. The Life deals with one of the most remarkable periods of Roman history, with the decline of the Julio-Claudian line and the subsequent political upheaval. It is also typical of Suetonius' style of biography in its impartiality, the structure and organization of its narrative, and its linguistic style. Finally, in the parallel accounts of Galba's life by Tacitus, Dio and Plutarch there exist constant points of reference that are vital for reasons of characterisation and historical value. It has been my aim in this thesis to produce a critical commentary on the Galba that both demonstrates the peculiar characteristics of the work and evaluates the contributions of modern scholarship. The thesis falls into three parts. The first chapter deals with the life of Suetonius and includes a discussion of the problems caused by the discovery of the Hippo Inscription. Subsequent sections are devoted to the date of composition of the Lives, the contentious question of Suetonius' sources and, finally, the manuscript tradition. Chapter two consists of a text of the Galba based on that of Ihm ( 1958). Some variations have been made and defended in the Commentary. Chapter three, the Commentary, constitutes the bulk of the thesis and is a section-by-section discussion of historical, textual and linguistic points arising from the text. The method of citation, through out, is by name of author and year of publication only. Full details can be found in the bibliography at the end of the thesis. / Arts, Faculty of / Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, Department of / Graduate

Esta dissertação de mestrado descreve o estudo realizado sobre como a oferta de estrôncio afeta a razão Sr/Ca em hidroxiapatita formada in vitro. Este trabalho pretende dar subsídios para que posteriormente seja possível fazer um estudo da razão Sr/Ca em função da temperatura também em hidroxiapatita formada in vitro. Foram utilizadas células osteoblásticas da linhagem MG-63 com concentrações de estrôncio no meio de cultura que variaram de 0,0 até 33,0 microgramas por mL de meio. Os nódulos ósseos formados pelas células foram caracterizados pelas técnicas Absorção de Infravermelho por Transformada de Fourier (FT-IR), que foi utilizada com o objetivo de identificar ligações de fosfato nas amostras, e Difração de Raios-X (XRD), que teve como objetivo confirmar a presença de hidroxiapatita nos minerais formados e comparar a cristalinidade do material com e sem estrôncio. A quantificação da razão Sr/Ca foi feita utilizando as técnicas Retro-espalhamento Rutherford (RBS) e Emissão de Raios-X por Indução de Partículas (PIXE), que são capazes de fazer a identificação e quantificação elementar. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os nódulos formados são compostos por hidroxiapatita. Com relação à quantificação, mostrou-se que não foi possível substituir mais de 10% do íons de cálcio por íons de estrôncio, o que está de acordo com previsões teóricas. Além disso, para altas concentrações de estrôncio no meio a mineralização do cálcio diminuiu duas ordens de grandeza e as medidas da razão Sr/Ca obtiveram resultados bastante dispersos, indicando uma possível mudança metabólica das células que parece inviabilizar o bom funcionamento fisiológico das mesmas. / This Masters dissertation describes the study of how the availability of strontium affects Sr/Ca ratio of in vitro hydroxyapatite. This work intends to provide the basic understanding needed to a future study of how temperature changes Sr/Ca ratio in this material. MG-63 cells were grown in the culture medium doped with 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.1, 8.2, 16.4, 22.9 and 33.0 micrograms of Sr/mL. The nodules formed by osteoblastic cells were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) technique, used to identify phosphate domain, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique, which was used to verify the presence of crystallized hydroxyapatite in the mineral composition with and without strontium. Quantification of Sr/Ca ratio was made using the Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) and Particle Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE) techniques, which are used to do elementary identification and quantification. The results of characterization confirmed the presence of hydroxyapatite in the cultivated MG-63 cells. The experiments have shown that it was not possible to replace more than 10% of the calcium ions by strontium, which is consistent with theoretical predictions. In addition, high concentrations of strontium in the growing solution, reduced the mineralization yield and also the Sr/Ca ratio, indicating a possible change in the metabolism of the cells.
