Charged-particle multiplicity density at midrapidity in central Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[S(NN)] = 2.76 TeV

The first measurement of the charged-particle multiplicity density at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √ S NN = 2.76 TeV is presented. For an event sample corresponding to the most central 5% of the hadronic cross section, the pseudorapidity density of primary charged particles at midrapidity is 1584 ± 4(stat) ± 76(syst), which corresponds to 8.3 ± 0.4(syst) per participating nucleon pair. This represents an increase of about a factor 1.9 relative to pp collisions at similar collision energies, and about a factor 2.2 to central Au-Au collisions at √ S NN = 2.76 TeV. This measurement provides the first experimental constraint for models of nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC energies.     

Elliptic flow of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[S(NN)] = 2.76 TeV

We report the first measurement of charged particle elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[S(NN)] =2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|η|<0.8) and transverse momentum range 0.2

Bestimmung des Titans in legierten St?hlen

Zusammenfassung Die Trennung des Titans von Eisen, Chrom, Mangan; Kobalt, Nickel wird durch Fällen des Titans mit Bariumcarbonat in Kohlensäureatmosphäre, Filtrieren und Auswaschen des Niederschlages mit heisser Essigsäure erreicht. Noch zurückbleibende Legierungsbestandteile werden durch die Natriumkaliumcarbonat-Salpeterschmelze und zuletzt noch vorhandene Spuren von Eisen und Kupfer durch Fällen mit Schwefelwasserstoff aus Weinsäure enthaltender ammoniakalischer Lösung entfernt. Aus der nur noch Titan enthaltenden Lösung wird das Titan durch 8-o-Oxychinolin gefällt; der Niederschlag wird filtriert, verascht, geglüht und als Titandioxyd gewogen. Nach Trennung von den Legierungsbestandteilen kann statt der gewichtsanalytischen die colorimetrische Bestimmung erfolgen. Sind nur Chrom und Nickel zugegen, so erübrigt sich obiges Trennungsverfahren; das Chrom kann durch Dekantieren des wasserlöslichen Chromats vorher entfernt werden, während ein Gehalt an Nickel bis zu 5% und an Kupfer bis zu 0,5% nicht störend wirkt.     

Simulation of vibrational energy transfer in two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of amide I and amide II modes in solution

Population transfer between vibrational eigenstates is important for many phenomena in chemistry. In solution, this transfer is induced by fluctuations in molecular conformation as well as in the surrounding solvent. We develop a joint electrostatic density functional theory map that allows us to connect the mixing of and thereby the relaxation between the amide I and amide II modes of the peptide building block N-methyl acetamide. This map enables us to extract a fluctuating vibrational Hamiltonian from molecular dynamics trajectories. The linear absorption spectrum, population transfer, and two-dimensional infrared spectra are then obtained from this Hamiltonian by numerical integration of the Schrodinger equation. We show that the amide I/amide II cross peaks in two-dimensional infrared spectra in principle allow one to follow the vibrational population transfer between these two modes. Our simulations of N-methyl acetamide in heavy water predict an efficient relaxation between the two modes with a time scale of 790 fs. This accounts for most of the relaxation of the amide I band in peptides, which has been observed to take place on a time scale of 450 fs in N-methyl acetamide. We therefore conclude that in polypeptides, energy transfer to the amide II mode offers the main relaxation channel for the amide I vibration.     

Modern Variants of the Mannich Reaction

Important building blocks for the synthesis of drugs or natural products are found in Mannich bases and their derivatives. Modern variants of the Mannich reaction that expand the potential of the classical intermolecular reaction significantly and enable efficient control of the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity are therefore the topic of intensive research. Intramolecular reactions, in particular as part of domino reaction sequences, often afford astoundingly simple and elegant approaches to complex target compounds.     

Modeling the amide I bands of small peptides

In this paper different floating oscillator models for describing the amide I band of peptides and proteins are compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Models for the variation of the frequency shifts of the oscillators and the nearest-neighbor coupling between them with respect to conformation are constructed from DFT normal mode calculations on N-acetyl-glycine-N(')-methylamide. The calculated frequencies are compared with those obtained from existing electrostatic models. Furthermore, a new transition charge coupling model is presented. We suggest a model which combines the nearest-neighbor maps with long-range interactions accounted for using the new transition charge model and an existing electrostatic map for long-range interaction frequency shifts. This model and others, which account for the frequency shifts by electrostatic maps exclusively, are tested by comparing the predicted IR spectra with those from DFT calculations on the pentapeptide [Leu]-enkephalin. The new model described above gives the best agreement and, after a systematic blueshift is accounted for, reproduces the DFT frequencies to within 3.5 cm(-1). The correlation of the intensities for this model with intensities from DFT calculations is 0.94.     

Structural and molecular evolutionary analysis of Agouti and Agouti-related proteins

Agouti (ASIP) and Agouti-related protein (AgRP) are endogenous antagonists of melanocortin receptors that play critical roles in the regulation of pigmentation and energy balance, respectively, and which arose from a common ancestral gene early in vertebrate evolution. The N-terminal domain of ASIP facilitates antagonism by binding to an accessory receptor, but here we show that the N-terminal domain of AgRP has the opposite effect and acts as a prodomain that negatively regulates antagonist function. Computational analysis reveals similar patterns of evolutionary constraint in the ASIP and AgRP C-terminal domains, but fundamental differences between the N-terminal domains. These studies shed light on the relationships between regulation of pigmentation and body weight, and they illustrate how evolutionary structure function analysis can reveal both unique and common mechanisms of action for paralogous gene products.
