Relativistic string model in differential form

The relativistic string model is reformulated in terms of differential geometry. Some independent geometrical quantities are regarded as dynamical variables instead of the coordinates. In a particular gauge the fundamental equations can be linearized and solved. The solution here found is equivalent to that of light like gauge as a classical system.     

Tensor interactions and polarization phenomena in heavy-ion scattering

Elastic and inelastic scattering of ⁷Li by ⁵⁸Ni at E_lab = 14.2 and 20.3 MeV is investigated theoretically, special emphasis being laid on polarization phenomena. A parameter-independent study shows second-rank tensor interactions to be the main origin of tensor analyzing powers for both elastic and inelastic scattering. Coupled-channel (CC) calculations using cluster-folding interactions which include the tensor terms are found to be successful in reproducing the data for cross sections and vector and tensor analyzing powers, when projectile excitation effects are sufficiently taken into account. Scattering of ⁶Li by ⁵⁸Ni at E_lab = 20.0 MeV is also investigated by the CC calculation, where successes similar to the ⁷Li case are obtained in understanding experimental data.     

Determination of the alpha, beta-adrenoceptor blocker YM-09538 in urine by gas chromatography with a nitrogen-sensitive detector

A gas chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of the alpha, beta-adrenoceptor blocker YM-09538 in urine is described. YM-09538 was extracted from alkalinized urine with ethyl acetate and converted to its cyclic methylboronate derivative. Analysis by gas chromatography using a nitrogen-sensitive detector allowed quantitation of the drug over a concentration range of 0.2-5.0 micrograms/ml. Urinary excretion of YM-09538 was determined in humans after oral administration of 50 mg.

Phonon density of states and compression behavior in iron sulfide under pressure

We report the partial phonon densities of states (DOS) of iron sulfide, a possible component of the rocky planet's core, measured by the 57Fe nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering and calculate the total phonon DOS under pressure. From the phonon DOS, we drive thermodynamic parameters. A comparison of the observed and estimated compressibilities makes it clear that there is a large pure electronic contribution in the observed compressibility in the metallic state. Our results present the observation of thermodynamic parameters of iron sulfide with the low-spin state of an Fe2+ ion at the high density, which is similar to the condition of the Martian core.     

Krafft temperature and enthalpy of solution of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> N</Emphasis>-acyl amino acid surfactants and their racemic modifications: effect of the counter ion

The Krafft temperatures and enthalpies of solution of N-hexadecanoyl alaninate and valinate, and N-tetradecanoyl phenylalaninate were obtained from differential scanning calorimetry. The Krafft temperature of N-acyl amino acid surfactant increased with decreasing size of the counter ion, with some exceptions. The enthalpy of solution was endothermic and increased with decreasing size of the counter ion except for the cases of lithium salt. The results showed that the L-L interaction in the solid state of N-hexadecanoyl amino acid surfactant salt was superior to the D-L interaction for both the alanine and valine systems when the counter ion size increased. However, the D-L interaction was still advantageous for the phenylalanine system with Cs⁺ as a counter ion. Both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies and theoretical calculations suggested that the difference in magnitudes of the interactions between peptide and counter ion was a dominant factor for the chiral effect.     

Sigmasigma* transition in anti,cisoid alternating oligosilanes: clear-cut evidence for suppression of conjugation effect by a cisoid turn

On the basis of the UV absorption spectra of the anti,cisoid alternating oligosilanes, the first experimental clear-cut evidence was presented for the generally accepted idea that the sigma conjugation in polysilanes does not effectively extend through a tetrasilane fragment with a small dihedral angle such as a cisoid turn.     

Development and validation of a high-precision capillary electrophoresis method for main component assay of ragaglitazar

The ability of a developed capillary electrophoresis (CE) method for fast, efficient and reliable main component assay of ragaglitazar [NNC 61-0029/DRF(-)2725] has been demonstrated through documentation of the analytical performance and the results of a successful validation. The fast analysis time of around 1.2 min ensures a high analytical capacity, and the validation results show that the CE method is robust and gives reliable and precise results. The results from the validation of the CE method meet the acceptance criteria that are normally set for other main component assays such as high-performance liquid chromatography assays.     

LambdaN spin-orbit splittings in (9)(Lambda)Be and (13)(Lambda)C studied with one-boson-exchange LambdaN interactions

Parametric x rays (PXR) produced by bombarding silicon and diamond crystals with electrons of 30 to 87 MeV were detected at 180 degrees relative to the direction of the electron beam. It was found that the dependence of the intensity on the orientation of the crystal agrees with the predictions of the kinematical theory of PXR. The absolute intensity is twice as large as predicted. These findings can be explained considering dynamical effects that govern the x-ray crystal interaction. Additionally, x rays caused by self-diffracted transition radiation have been observed.
