Daughter state normalization

The 73-year-old woman presents again to your clinic complaining of difficulty breathing and shortness of breath. Her daughter also states that she is easily confused and that this is not normal for her. 

A 55-year-old man complains of disorientation. He cannot remember where he was yesterday and appears confused. Upon examination he appears to be in poor health and admits to a slight problem recently with alcohol. After consultation with his daughter who accompanied him, it appears that alcohol abuse has been a severe problem for the past 35 years. Despite his confusion, his motor skills are normal when allowing for the general state of his health. However, he is subject to fits of rapid eye movements bilaterally. 

Mdssbauer spectrometry gives information about the chemical environment of the Mdssbauer nuclide in the excited state at the instant of emission of the photon. It does not necessarily reflect the normal chemical state of the daughter nuclide, because of the after-effects that follow the decay of the mother nuclide (recoil and excitation effects, including emission of Auger electrons). At very short lifetimes of the excited state, ionization and excitation effects may not have attained relaxation at the instant of emission of the y-ray photon this results in a time-dependent pattern of the Mdssbauer spectrum. 

Richmond and Phillips (1975) found in the case of Botrytis cinerea that the conidia of the fungi produced distorted germ tubes in the presence of benomyl. In most of the fungi, cell division differed from classical mitosis, the normal states of which were not seen clearly in any of the treated material. Chromosomes became visible at the prophase-metaphase, but they did not completely separate. Finally, the chromatin became stretched into long threads, daughter nuclei did not separate completely and chromatin was often present as irregular shaped masses. 

When Mrs. Kondo spoke to me in 1989, her daughter was forty-five years old and living far away on Hokkaido in northern Japan. The younger woman suffered the classic symptoms of fetal exposure microcephaly and mental retardation. With her mother s constant support, she had finished basic schooling, had married, and had borne two children of her own. The children showed no symptoms of abnormality as in so many other cases, there was no evidence of a genetic effect. But Mrs. Kondo s daughter cannot function as a normal mother in her state of limited mental capability. So she relates to her children much as a sister, and others bear the responsibility of parenthood. 

Because No is normally a divalent ion in aqueous solution and is difficult to oxidize and hold in the trivalent state, it has not been possible to make a chemical identification of the atomic number in the same manner as the preceding 3 -i-actinides, i.e. identification by their unique positions in the elution sequence from cation-exchange resin columns. However, in 1971, the atomic number of No was unequivocally determined through the observation of characteristic K-series x-rays of the daughter isotope Fm in coincidence with the alpha particles from the decay of the parent, No [10].
