High impact shock testing of fiber-optic components

MIL-S-901 High Impact Shock tests were performed on commercial-grade and ruggedized fiber-optic connectors, splices, and switches. Both single-mode and multimode connectors and splices were tested. Only multimode switches were tested. Transient losses of varying magnitudes and durations were observed. Most components suffered no permanent degradation.     

2000 Vol.11 No.8 P.Preparation of AChE Inhibitors From Jujubogenin

A dammarane derivative dihydrojujubogenin-2-en-1-one, which possesses a skeleton and pharmacophore partially similar to those of Territrem B, a potent AChE inhibitor, was synthesized via three different paths. The anti-AChE activity of this compound and related analogue was measured.

The frequently overlooked importance of solvent in free radical syntheses

This tutorial review is designed to dispel the myth, still believed by many synthetic organic chemists, that radical-based syntheses are free from significant solvent effects. However, many synthetically valuable radical reactions do exhibit large kinetic solvent effects. It is therefore important to select the solvent for any proposed radical synthesis with considerable care if good product yields are to be achieved.     

Accurate O-H bond dissociation energy differences of hydroxylamines determined by EPR spectroscopy: computational insight into stereoelectronic effects on BDEs and EPR spectral parameters

Differences in O-H bond dissociation enthalpies (ΔBDEs) between the hydroxylamine of (15)N-labeled TEMPONE and 10 N,N-di-tert-alkyl hydroxylamines were determined by EPR. These ΔBDEs, together with the g and a(N) values of the derived nitroxide radicals, are discussed in relation to various geometric, intramolecular dipole/dipole, and steric effects and in relation to the results from DFT calculations. We find that dipole/dipole interactions are the dominant factors in dictating a(N) values and O-H BDEs in all of these structurally similar nitroxides and hydroxylamines, respectively. The importance of including the Boltzmann distribution of conformations for each nitroxide in the a(N) calculations is emphasized.     

湖北十堰绿松石中杂质矿物自然硒的谱学研究

近期在湖北绿松石市场上出现一种带有肉眼可见的灰黑色异形杂质的绿松石,于此种绿松石的研究甚少。故选取来自湖北省十堰的一块该种绿松石原石,蓝色绿松石基底上布满形态各异、大小不一的灰黑色杂质,放大观察可见灰黑色杂质矿物呈金属光泽。对灰黑色杂质采用激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱仪进行原位微区微量元素测试、背散射电子图像物相观察、主量化学成分测试采用能谱仪进行半定量测试和电子探针定量测试以及显微激光拉曼光谱仪测试。灰黑色杂质矿物的LA-ICP-MS测试激光剥蚀束斑直径及深度的影响,测试结果表现为灰黑色杂质矿物和少量绿松石的混合物的化学成分含量,灰黑色杂质矿物处Se含量为95 927～221 394 μg·g-1明显高于蓝色基底绿松石中Se的含量（146～212 μg·g-1）,灰黑色杂质处的测试结果中CuO含量为7.47%～9.28%、Al₂O₃含量为28.1%～35.7%,P₂O₅含量为30.1%～37.8%为少量绿松石混杂产生;背散射电子图像表明杂质矿物结晶颗粒细小,细小的杂质矿物与绿松石混杂在一起,他形的杂质矿物为多个晶体集合在一起形成的集合体,能谱测试结果表明杂质矿物主要含有Al,P,Fe,Cu和Se,电子探针主量化学成分定量测试结果表明杂质矿物主要含有Se,含量为79.34%～87.97%,此外,由于杂质矿物结晶颗粒细小,杂质矿物集合体中可见杂质矿物与绿松石混杂,因此化学成分定量测试结果中还呈现有绿松石中的Al,P,Fe,Cu和Al含量约为0.93%～4.13%,Cu含量约为1.30%～2.04%,P含量约为0.66%～2.40%,Fe含量约为0.31%;杂质矿物的显微激光拉曼光谱峰为位于144和235 cm-1处的尖锐拉曼谱峰,结合化学成分谱学测试结果可鉴别该杂质矿物主要为自然硒。硒矿物是绿松石中新发现的杂质矿物,绿松石中杂质矿物自然硒的发现可以为珠宝从业者鉴别绿松石提供有效的鉴定依据。     

Inclusive excitation-energy distributions of hot nuclei from 44 MeV/nucleon Ar- and 32 MeV/nucleon Kr-induced reactions

Inclusive neutron multiplicity distributions were measured by means of 4π liquid-scintillator detectors for Ar and Kr-induced reactions at 44 MeV/nucleon and 32 MeV/nucleon, respectively. For all the systems studied, the observed distributions exhibit a bump structure at large multiplicity, corresponding to highly dissipative collisions. For Ar-induced reactions, the excitation energies necessary to explain the most probable neutron multiplicity associated with these dissipative collisions are estimated, the correspondence between excitation energy and neutron multiplicity being calculated in the framework of the statistical model. The so-obtained values of excitation energies, which are systematically lower than those predicted using the massive-transfer picture, are discussed.
