Copper-64 specific activity (the number of decays per second per amount of substance) and low yield through the Cu(n,γ)Cu reaction. At the University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR) Cu was produced using high-energy neutrons via the Zn(n,p)Cu reaction in high specific activity but low yield. Using a biomedical cyclotron the Ni(p,n)Cu nuclear reaction can produce large quantities of the nuclide with high specific activity. Wilson’s disease is a rare condition in which copper is retained excessively in the body. Toxic levels of copper can lead to organ failure and premature death. Cu is used to study whole body retention of
Brain Damage (comics) Brain Damage (comics) Brain Damage was a British adult comic that was published monthly by Galaxy Publications (later Tristar Publications) and edited by Bill Hampton from 1989 to 1992. "Brain Damage" was one of many comics trying to emulate the success of "Viz"; however whereas most of its peers were crude, low-quality Viz imitations, "Brain Damage" attempted to capture the high end of the market, with contributions from recognised cartoonists and satirists, and a strong leaning towards UK politics.
