Summary A preliminary study is here reported on a new potential marker for biomagnetic measurements. The marker consists of superparamagnetic
polymer microspheres which were detected in the presence of external steady magnetic fields by means of an r.f.-SQUID magnetometer.
The particles were prepared in samples differing in the concentration value and immersed in a homogeneous magnetic field of
variable intensity. A simple model was taken into account for the distribution of the microspheres in the samples, so that
the theoretical values were compared to the marker field values measured by the biomagnetic sensor. The overall sensitivity
of the experimental apparatus and the minimum concentration value of the marker were then estimated. 相似文献
The photolysis reactions of three compounds commonly used as a sunscreen agents, Parsol 1789 (1-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenyl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3- propanedione), Oxybenzone ((2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)phenyl-methanone) and Padimate O (2-ethylhexyl-4-(dimethylamino)benzoate), were investigated to provide a chemical background to aid in the understanding of the photosensitization of the sunscreen agents. Photolysis was carried out in cyclohexane for 70–140 h using a mercury vapor lamp (450W) without excluding oxygen.
Irradation of Parsol 1789 in cyclohexane yielded tert-butylbenzene, p-tert-butylbenzoic acid and p-methoxybenzoic acid; products obtained from the combination of the sunscreen with the solvent included the cyclohexyl esters of p-methoxybenzoic acid, p-tert-butylbenzoic acid and methanoic acid; products obtained from the solvent included cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone and dicyclohexyl ether.
Irradiation of Oxybenzone in the cyclohexane for 100 h produced no detectable products by either gas or liquid chromatographic analysis. Oxybenzone was recovered unchanged and no products were observed from the photoinitiated reaction of oxygen with the solvent.
Irradiation of Padimate O in cyclohexane yielded the ethylhexyl esters of p-aminobenzoic acid, p-monomethylaminobenzoic acid and p-dimethylamino (o/m)-methylbenzoic acid, as well as products from the photoinitiated reaction of oxygen with the solvent. 相似文献
Summary Differential scanning calorimetric measurements in the early stage of isothermal crystal growth of polyethylene oxide are
analysed in the light of irreversible thermodynamics. An accurate evaluation of the equilibrium melting temperature is done
by fitting the thermograms obtained at different undercoolings and referring to the activation energy values already known
from the literature.

Summary The role of chemical reactions in the selection of patterns in phase-separating mixtures is presented. Linearized theory and
computer simulation show that the initial long-wavelength instability characteristic of spinodal decomposition is suppressed
by chemical reactions, which restrict domain growth to intermediate length scales even in the late stages of phase separation.
Our findings suggest that chemical reactions may provide a novel way to stabilize and tune the steady-state morphology of
phase-separating materials.

A birefringent crystal quartz plate of known thickness has been used as a spectral filter for spectral shaping in a Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier. The spectral profile of the amplified pulse ejected from the regenerative amplifier was observed while adjusting the birefringent crystal plate in the cavity. By altering the gain spectrum, the bandwidth of the regeneratively amplified pulse was increased from 18 to 35 nm by using a 0.34-mm thick birefringent plate. The output pulse spectrum from the regenerative amplifier neared the bandwidth of the seed pulse. As a comparison, we used a coated filter outside the regenerative amplifier cavity, and the bandwidth of the regeneratively amplified pulse was stretched to 28 nm. When the bandwidth was stretched to 35 nm, the pulse was compressed to 35 fs. 相似文献
One of the most celebrated results in the theory of hyperspaces says that if the Vietoris topology on the family of all nonempty closed subsets of a given space is normal, then the space is compact (Ivanova-Keesling-Velichko). The known proofs use cardinality arguments and are long. In this paper we present a short proof using known results concerning Hausdorff uniformities. 相似文献
