Use of SPE—TLC for Quality Control of Rhodiola rosea Extracts

SPE and TLC have been used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of salidroside, rosavin, rosarin, and rosin in commercially available dry extracts from Rhodiola rosea roots. The best separation of all the compounds was achieved on silica gel TLC plates with ethyl acetate—methanol—water, 77 + 13 + 10 (v/v), as mobile phase. UV detection was performed at λ = 215 nm for salidroside and at λ= 245 nm for the rosavins (rosavin, rosarin, and rosin). Detection limits for salidroside and the rosavins were 90 ng and 60 ng per spot, respectively. Results from quantitative analysis confirmed the manufacturer’s declaration of the amounts of salidroside and the rosavins in the extracts.

Phase Analysis of the Binary System of Cryolite (Na3AlF6) and Sodium Metasilicate (Na2SiO3)

The phase analysis of cryolite (Na₃AlF₆) and sodium metasilicate (Na₂SiO₃) was performed by thermal analysis. The eutectic system with a region of two immiscible substances at a concentration of Na₂SiO₃ between 42.8 and 46.3 mol‐% was identified and the eutectic temperature determined to (886±2) °C. Based on the results of mass‐loss measurements, it was assumed that the introduced Na₂SiO₃ reacts with Na₃AlF₆ due to the formation of some nonvolatile stable compounds. The stable reaction products were identified by X‐ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy of the spontaneously cooled samples, which established the formation of NaF and stable amorphous aluminosilicate compounds.     

Ab-initio molecular dynamics based on non-local density functional procedure with Gaussian basis; study of structural and temperature behaviour of metallic clusters

An ab-initio molecular dynamics procedure without precalculation of the Born-Oppenheimer energy surface based on an iterative non-local density functional method employing Gaussian atomic basis has been developed. Analytical gradients are calculated and used for the propagation of nuclei. Sufficiently long trajectories can be calculated at an acceptable computational cost, allowing for analysis of dynamical behaviour of small metallic clusters. This is illustrated on an example of the Li₈ cluster. Temperature behaviour of different type of isomers has been investigated. Calculated power spectra allow to identify the presence of more than one isomeric forms along the given trajectories.     

Sol-Gel Processing of PbZrO3 Thin Films

PbZrO₃ (PZ) thin films have been prepared by 2-methoxyethanol route from lead oxide or lead acetate and zirconium n-butoxide. The use of lead oxide as lead source and the seeding layer of TiO₂ on Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si substrate facilitate the formation of the perovskite phase.     

Some radiation protection problems connected with the use of186Re-HEDP and153Sm-EDTMP for palliative therapy of bone metastases

The paper deals with the problem of the outpatient administration of¹⁸⁶Re-HEDP and¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP for palliative therapy of bone metastases. The subsequent 6 hours stay of the treated patients in a department of nuclear medicine appears to be in compliance with regulations proposed in the Czech Republic as well as with ICRP recommendations.     

Phase Diagram of the System NaF-KF-AlF3

The phase diagrams of the binary system KF-AlF₃ as well as the ternary system NaF-KF-AlF₃ in the range up to 50 mol% AlF₃, were measured using the thermal analysis method. In the system KF-AlF₃ the coordinates of the eutectic points are: E ₁: 8.0 mol% AlF₃, 821.2°C, and E ₂: 45.5 mol% AlF₃, 565.0°C. In the investigated concentration range of the ternary system 2 eutectic points have been found with the calculated coordinates: E ₁: 36.3 mol% NaF, 62.7 mol% KF, 1.0 mol% AlF₃; t=711.2°C; and E ₂: 51.9 mol% NaF, 27.4 mol% KF, 20.7 mol% AlF₃; t=734.5°C. Other eutectic points lie most probably beyond the investigated part of the system. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
