Measurements of stable ruthenium fission products in nuclear reactor fuel samples by Genna M. Patton, Zachary A. Torrano, Amanda Salazar, Jeffrey Miller, Matthew E. Sanborn, Susan K. Hanson

“…In this study, ruthenium (Ru), uranium (U), and plutonium (Pu) isotope ratios and concentrations were measured in six different samples taken along a single nuclear fuel rod from a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The Ru isotope ratios $$^{100}$$ Ru/ $$^{101}$$ Ru, $$^{102}$$ Ru/ $$^{101}$$ and $$^{104}$$ Ru/ $$^{101}$$ Ru increase upon moving from the end of the rod towards the center, correlating with the amount of burnup of the fuel indicated by U and Pu isotope ratios. …”

Clot Formation in the Sipunculid Worm Themiste petricola: A Haemostatic and Immune Cellular Response by Tomás Lombardo, Guillermo A. Blanco

“…Clot formation in the sipunculid Themiste petricola, a coelomate nonsegmented marine worm without a circulatory system, is a cellular response that creates a haemostatic mass upon activation with sea water. The mass with sealing properties is brought about by homotypic aggregation of granular leukocytes present in the coelomic fluid that undergo a rapid process of fusion and cell death forming a homogenous clot or mass. …”
