Internal Colonialism: Questioning the Soviet Union as a Settler Colonial State Through the Deportation of the Crimean Tatars
Prior studies of groundwater systems have associated increasing salinity and anoxic conditions with increasing radium (Ra) activities in water due to the decreasing effectiveness of Ra removal processes. However, the components of salinity (e.g. Ca vs. Na and SO42- vs. Cl-domina…

"Before the hydrogen bomb indelibly associated radioactivity with death, many chemists, physicians, botanists, and geneticists believed that radium might hold the secret to life. Physicists and chemists early on described the wondrous new element in lifelike terms such as 'decay…
This volume traces the half-life of the transmuting connection between radium and life to recover the forgotten story of the remarkably provocative and productive connections between radioactivity and the life sciences long before the dawn of molecular biology made such connecti…

Radium and the Secret of Life
0
Type: Book
Radium and the Secret of Life highlights previously unknown interconnections between the history of the early radioactive sciences and the sciences of heredity. Equating the transmutation of radium with the biological transmutation of living species, biologists saw in metabolism…
