KU research lab to receive diagnostic tool
The University of Kansas Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory has received money to purchase a new diagnostic tool for analyzing solid materials.
materials. The bulk, one of six research support laboratories maintained by the University, uses a device called a nuclear resonance spectrometer to analyze materials and determine their molecular structure.
In nuclear magnetic resonance, samples are placed in a strong magnetic field, causing the nuclei to align themselves with it, similar to a needle in a
compass. Radio impulses disrupt the alignment, and as the atoms realign, they emit signals that yield detailed information about the sample's structure.
structure.
The new tool, to be installed on the current spectrometer, was primarily financed by three FAWC-based corporate donors. FCMC Corp., InterX Research Corp. and Oread Laboratories, and Marion Laboratories Inc., of Kansas City, Mo. The addition of the $44,000 tool will allow the lab to explore new types of diagnostic research.
research.
“If we wanted to study a solid we had to first dissolve it in something in order to analyze it” said David
Vander Veld, director of the laboratory. "But now, for the first time, we'll be able to look at solids directly."
The new tool will provide information about pharmaceutical agents, such as interaction with other natural and synthetic polymers used in medicines. It can also help to determine the effects of other substances on stability and longevity. This information can be used to determine a drug's impact on the body.
Vander Velde said that KU would be one of 100 institutions to have a capability for solid analysis.
Commission approves airport expansion plan
by a Kansan reporter
"We are growing, and we want to do it in Lawrence," he said.
The Lawrence City Commission approved a site plan and lease agreement for a new Kohlian Aviation building at the Lawrence Municipal Airport yesterday.
*Report Yesenia*
David Kohlman, former aerospace engineering professor at KU, said the combination office building and airplane hanger was necessary for expansion.
The commission had to approve the 36-year lease agreement because the city owns the land.
Traffic Safety Committee's recommendation to maintain the 30 mph speed limit city wide.
"The is one of those sterling projects," said Bob Walters, city commissioner. "It's another active partner on the airport grounds."
Shirley Martin-Smith, acting mayor for vacationing Bob Sohumm, said that while the commissioners should reaffirm their sensitivity to community concerns, the traffic task force formed last week would be examining speed limits.
The commission also accepted the
