ESR response of gamma-irradiated sulfamethazine

In the present work, characteristic features of the radiolytical intermediates produced in gamma-irradiated solid sulfamethazine (SMH) were investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The heights of the resonance peaks, measured with respect to the spectrum baseline, were used to monitor microwave saturation, temperature and time-dependent kinetic features of the radical species contributing to the formation of recorded experimental ESR spectra. Three species having different spectroscopic and kinetic features were observed to be produced in gamma-irradiated SMH. SO₂, which is the most sensitive group of radiation in the SMH molecule, was found to be at the origin of radiation-produced ionic radical species. Based on the experimental results derived from the present study, the applicability of ESR spectroscopy to radiosterilization of SMH was discussed. In the dose range of interest (0.5–10 kGy), the radiation yield of solid SMH was calculated to be very low (G=0.45) compared with those obtained for sulfonamide aqueous solutions (G=3.5–5.1). Based on these findings, it was concluded that SMH and SMH-containing drugs could be safely sterilized by gamma radiation and that ESR spectroscopy could be successfully used as a potential technique for monitoring their radiosterilization.     

Charge symmetry breaking in np-->dpi(0)

The forward-backward asymmetry in np-->dpi(0), which must be zero in the center-of-mass system if charge symmetry is respected, has been measured to be [17.2+/-8.0(stat)+/-5.5(syst)]x10(-4), at an incident neutron energy of 279.5 MeV. This observable is compared to recent chiral effective field theory calculations, with implications regarding the du quark mass difference.     

ESR determination of the thermal stability of Mn<Superscript>2+</Superscript> ion binding sites in different legume lectins

The legume lectins are a large family of homologous carbohydrate-binding proteins. Their carbohydrate specificity and quaternary structure vary widely. The carbohydrate binding activity of legume lectins depends on the simultaneous presence of calcium and transition-metal ions, especially the Mn²⁺ ion. In the present work, thermal stabilities of Mn²⁺ binding sites in pea, lentil, soybean and kidney-bean lectins have been studied by electron spin resonance spectroscopy in the temperature range of 120–400 K in different atmospheres. The evolution of parameters, such as the line width, peak-to-peak intensity associated with the hyperfine transition [m _I (+5/2) → m′ _I (−5/2)] at the lowest magnetic field side of the central electron transition [m _S (+1/2) → m′ _S (−1/2)] of the Mn⁺² ion, g-factor and hyperfine splitting was evaluated. Annealing was also performed at high temperatures (353, 373, 383, 403 and 443 K) and the oxidation activation energy of Mn²⁺ ions in the indicated legumes was determined.     

Dynamic compensation temperature in the mixed spin-1 and spin-2 Ising model in an oscillating field on alternate layers of a hexagonal lattice

The dynamic behavior of a mixed spin-1 and spin-2 Ising system with a crystal-field interaction in the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field on a hexagonal lattice is studied by using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics. The lattice is formed by alternate layers of spins σ=1$\sigma =1$ and S=2. The Hamiltonian model includes intersublattice, intrasublattice and crystal-field interactions. The set of mean-field dynamic equations is obtained by employing the Glauber transition rates. Firstly, we study time variations of the average sublattice magnetizations in order to find the phases in the system, and the thermal behavior of the average sublattice magnetizations in a period or the dynamic sublattice magnetizations to obtain the dynamic phase transition points as well as to characterize the nature (continuous and discontinuous) of transitions. Then, the behavior of the dynamic total magnetization as a function of the temperature is investigated to find the dynamic compensation points as well as determine the type of behavior. We also present the dynamic phase diagrams for both presence and absence of the dynamic compensation temperatures in the nine different planes. According to the values of Hamiltonian parameters, besides the paramagnetic (p), antiferromagnetic (af), ferrimagnetic (i) and non-magnetic (nm) fundamental phases, eight different mixed phases and the compensation temperature or L- and N-types behavior in the Néel classification nomenclature exist in the system.     

Radiostability of Allantoin by Using Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy

The radiosterilization potential and dosimetric feature of allantoin were investigated through the molecular degradations produced after ultraviolet and gamma irradiation using electron spin resonance, infrared, and ultraviolet spectroscopies and thermal measurement techniques (differential thermal analysis and the glass transition temperature). Although ultraviolet-irradiated allantoin presents no electron spin resonance signal, gamma irradiation exhibited an electron spin resonance signal of triplet appearance. Room temperature and high-temperature line intensity and spectrum area data and their variations with applied microwave power, storage time, annealing time, annealing temperature, and applied radiation dose were analyzed by assuming the production of two different types of radicals having different spectroscopic and decay characteristics. Based on its relatively stable nature toward gamma and ultraviolet radiations, it was concluded that allantoin itself and the products containing it can be sterilized by gamma and/or ultraviolet radiations without creating a great loss in its beneficial effects in the allowed radiosterilization dose limits.     

Effects of radiation on carbapenems: ESR identification and dosimetric features of gamma irradiated solid meropenem trihydrate

In the present work, effects of gamma radiation on solid meropenem trihydrate (MPT), which is the active ingredient of carbapenem antibiotics, were investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Irradiated MPT presents an ESR spectrum consisting of many resonance peaks. Heights measured with respect to the spectrum baseline of these resonance peaks were used to explore the evolutions of the radicalic species responsible for the experimental spectrum under different conditions. Variations of the denoted 11 peak heights with microwave power, sample temperature and applied radiation doses and decay of the involved radicalic species at room and at high temperatures were studied. On the basis of the results derived from these studies, a molecular model consisting of the presence of four different radicalic species was proposed, and spectroscopic parameters of these species were calculated through spectrum simulation calculations. The dosimetric potential of MPT was also explored and it was concluded that MPT presents the characteristics of normal and accidental dosimetric materials.
