Spectrophotometric analysis, thermal analysis and gravimetric determination of some metal ions with oxime and Schiff's base derivatives of N-furoylphenylhydroxylamine

The oxime and Schiff's base of N-furoylphenylhydroxylamine form complexes with Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺. These complexes were studied by means of the UV — Vis. spectra of nujol mulls, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra and magnetic susceptibility to determine their stereochemistry. The complexes were characterized via elemental analyses, molar conductivities and thermogravimetric analyses. Organic reagents were used for the gravimetric determination of Co²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ through the precipitation of their complexes. The compounds were also used for separation of a binary mixture of Cu²⁺ and Cu²⁺. Interferences were studied.     

Imaging and correlation used for guided laser lithotripsy

High-speed imaging of phenomena akin to laser lithotripsy is performed. A new method for guiding laser light for the stone destruction is proposed. This is based on a combination of signals obtained from the correlation of fluorescent and ballistic images.     

Outflow refreshment angiography: A bright blood, bright static tissue technique

A new “bright blood” strategy, outflow refreshment imaging, is introduced in which a number of overlapping slices are excited in rapid succession. Flowing spins that refresh each overlapped slice portion contribute a bright signal. Additionally, static tissue in each non-overlapped slice portion also yields a bright signal. However, the flow/static contrast is comparable to that produced in inflow refreshment images, and angiograms can be generated by conventional maximum intensity projection processing. The dual ability to visualize angiograms and static tissue images is a major benefit of the strategy. Computer simulations of flow sensitivities and in vivo results are presented which compare the outflow and inflow refreshment imaging strategies.     

Sagnac棱镜角公差与干涉光谱仪光谱分辨率的关系分析

根据干涉成像光谱仪光谱分辨率对角向差的要求，通过对实体Sagnac干涉仪结构和光路进行分析，从三个相互垂直的方向出发，研究了光谱分辨率和棱镜角公差之间存在的关系；并推导了满足光谱仪光谱分辨率要求的实体Sagnac干涉棱镜的角公差公式；用实例说明了关系式的应用方法，如果不考虑棱镜变形引起的色散及棱镜的面型误差和付氏镜的残余像差的影响,而只考虑棱镜的角误差对光谱分辨率的影响,则通常情况下干涉棱镜的角公差要求较严，约20″以内.     

Measurement of wire diameter by optical diffraction

A combined interference and diffraction pattern, in the form of equidistant interference fringes, resulting from illuminating a vertical metallic wire by a laser beam is analyzed to measure the diameter of four standard wires. The diameters range from 170 to 450 μm. It is found that the error in the diameter measurements increases for small metallic wires and for small distances between the wire and the screen due to scattering effects. The intensity of the incident laser beam was controlled by a pair of sheet polaroids to minimize the scattered radiation. The used technique is highly sensitive, but requires controlled environmental conditions and absence of vibration effects. The expanded uncertainty for k=2 is calculated and found to decrease from U(D)=±1.45 μm for the wire of nominal diameter 170 μm to ±0.57 μm for the diameter 450 μm.     

Image Displaying Method of Ground-Based Millimeter Wave Radiometric Imaging System

The image displaying methods used in a millimeter wave radiometric imaging system have great influence on its imaging quality. In order to obtain high quality millimeter wave radiometric images, intensive studies on the image displaying methods are needed. This paper describes the image displaying method of Ground-based 8mm Millimeter Wave Radiometric Imaging (GMWRI) system and compares two different image displaying methods. The experimental results prove the unequal size element arc displaying method fits GMWRI system better.     

Mechanical alloying of a thermoelectric alloy: Pb0.65Sn0.35Te

We report in this paper a study of the mechanical alloying (MA) process for the Pb_0.65Sn_0.35Te alloy. MA has been carried out in a high-energy planetary ball mill. The mechanism of formation has been studied from systematic analyses of mechanically alloyed powders using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. As it was already observed for the MA of PbTe, this synthesis is associated with an exothermic reaction between the elemental powders. The required time to reach an homogeneous phase Pb_0..65Sn_0.35Te is 31 h.     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von TICu[CuO2]

Investigations on Electronically Conducting Oxide Systems. XVI. Solid Solutions and Conductivity in the System MgTi₂O₅? Ti₃O₅ Solid solution formation is reported for the system Mg_1–xTi_2–x^IVTi_2x^IIIO₅. With increasing x there is at room temperature a transition from the orthorhombic pseudobrookite structure to the monoclinic low-temperature modification of Ti₃O₅. The X-ray diffraction pattern results are supported by DSC measurements, electrical and magnetic investigations. The tendency of Ti? Ti pair formation in the low-temperature Ti₃O₅ structure is accompanied by a drop of the activation energy for electrical conductivity and a decreasing susceptibility at high Ti^III concentrations.     

Transition metal(II) ions with dinegative tetradentate schiff base

Some new coordination polymers of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), obtained from the interaction of metal acetate with dipotassium salt of N,N’-di(carboxyethylidene)terephthalaldehydediimine (K₂SB) are described. The products, which have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analyses, electronic and infrared spectral studies, have composition, [M(SB)(H₂O)₂]_n. These colored coordination polymers are non-hygroscopic and quite stable at room temperature. On the basis of analytical data and IR studies, a 1:1 metal to ligand stoichiometry has been suggested to these coordination polymers. The IR studies have also revealed that ligands are coordinated to metal ion through carboxy oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. All the studies suggested tetradentate nature of the ligand with octahedral symmetry of the coordination polymers. All the coordination polymers are insoluble in acetone, ethanol, chloroform, methanol, benzene, DMF and DMSO. The thermal decomposition of the coordination polymers is studied and indicates that not only the coordinated water is lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the coordination polymers is necessary to interpret the successive mass loss.
