The effect of composition of parenteral solution on the thermal resistance of Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus subtilis spores

Large-volume parenteral solutions were submitted to heat treatments after being inoculated with Bacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 (T _r =121°C) and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 9372 (T _r =104.5°C) spores. The average decimal reduction time for B. stearothermophilus ranged from a D _121°C value of 1.31 to 3.14 min, in glucophysiologic and Ringer’s solutions respectively. For B. subtilis, D _104.5°C value increased from 0.69 to 1.37 min, in Ringer’s (pH=5.91) and 50% glucose (pH 3.05) solutions respectively. The z value ranged from 7.95°C (20% mannitol solution) to 13.14°C (50% glucose solution), corresponding to an activation energy (Ea) of 81.48 and 49.30 kcal/mol, respectively.     

On isotone functions with the Substitution Property in distributive lattices

A universal algebra isaffine complete if all functions satisfying the Substitution Property are polynomials (composed of the basic operations and the elements of the algebra). In 1962, the first author proved that a bounded distributive lattice is affine complete if and only if it does not contain a proper Boolean interval. Recently, M. Ploica generalized this result to arbitrary distributive lattices.In this paper, we introduce a class of functions on a latticeL, we call themID-polynomials, that derive from polynomials on the ideal lattice (resp., dual ideal lattice) ofL; they are isotone functions and satisfy the Substitution Property. We prove that for a distributive latticeL, all unary functions with the Substitution Property are ID-polynomials if and only ifL contains no proper Boolean interval.The research of the first author was supported by the NSERC of Canada.

Summary The isomer of (C₆H₅CO₂)₃Sb crystallizes rhombohedrally (hexagonal axes) in the space group R3 witha=1944.0 pm,c=422.3 pm, andZ=3. The molecules are stacked parallel to 001; Sb has a coordination number of 3+3 (Sb-O: 208 and 256 pm, resp.).

     

On stable geometries

Within the concept of projective lattice geometry we are considering the class of stable geometries which have also been introduced in [14]. The investigation of their basic properties will result in fundamental structure theorems which especially give a lattice-geometric characterization of free left modules of rank 6 over proper right Bezout rings of stable rank 2. This yields a proper generalization of previous results of ours.     

Measurement of γp→K + Λ and γp→K + Σ 0 at photon energies up to 1.47 GeV

The reactions pK ⁺ and pK ^{+ 0} have been measured with the multiparticle detector system SAPHIR at ELSA in Bonn. Besides the differential cross sections the polarization and, for the first time, the ⁰ polarization have been determined in a photon induced reaction. All data are presented as functions of the photon energy (from threshold up to 1.47 GeV) and of the kaon production angle (0°–180°). The polarization of both and ⁰ is substantial at all energies and varies strongly with the production angle.This work is supported by the Bundesminister für Forschung und Technologie (BMFT), FK 06 BN 621 I
