Relativistic correction to the triton binding energy in the framework of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics

The relativistic correction to the triton binding energy approximated to the order (v/c)² is calculated in the framework of relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics. We discuss the generator representation of the Poincaré group for three relativistic particles and its connection with the Feynman diagrams in the infinite-momentum frame (the light-front dynamics). The relativistic correction enhances the attraction in the three-nucleon system. The five-channel calculation with the Reid soft-core potential yeilds the result =–0.54 MeV, which is governed mainly by theD-wave contribution. TheS-wave contributions to are only –0.10 MeV.

Quantum dynamics of H2 formation on a graphite surface through the Langmuir Hinshelwood mechanism

We have studied the formation of the H2 molecule on a graphite surface, when both H atoms are initially physisorbed. The graphite surface is assumed to be planar, and a model potential is obtained in a semiempirical way to reproduce the experimental properties of H physisorption on graphite. The reaction probability has been computed in the case when the angular momentum of the relative H-H motion lies parallel to the surface plane. Three-dimensional wave packet calculations have been performed for collision energies ranging from 2 to 50 meV. It is shown that the reaction occurs with a significant probability and produces the H2 molecule with a considerable amount of vibrationnal energy. A simple mechanical model is presented, where desorption of the nascent H2 molecule results from two successive binary elastic collisions.     

4-Amino-imidazole durchThorpe-Cyclisierung

The alkylation of arylaminomethylenecyanamides1 or cyano-imidothiocarbamates2 with -halogen carbonyl compounds followed by base catalysed cyclization yields substituted 4-amino-imidazoles4. Imidazo[4,5-d]pyrimidones5, 6 and imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines7 can be obtained from4.     

2-Diphenylphosphinoyloxybenzaldehyde 4-Nitrophenyl-, 4-Phenyl-1-phthalazinyl-, and Aroylhydrazones and Thiosemicarbazone

Condensation of aryl- and aroylhydrazines and thiosemicarbazide with 2-diphenylphosphinoyloxybenzaldehyde results in formation of the corresponding hydrazones and thiosemicarbazone. The products give rise to conformational equilibrium between rotational and Z,E isomers, which is strongly displaced toward the E,E',Z' isomer and is determined by the nature of substituent in the hydrazine fragment.     

The electrocapillarity of polyacrylates

Summary The electrocapillary properties of polyacrylic acid have been studied by two methods. Exploratory measurements have been made of the effect of the polymer on the differential capacity of a mercury drop in 0.1 m sodium perchlorate. They showed that the polymer was strongly adsorbed over a wide range of potentials but that it did not appear to form a monolayer. The surface excess of polymer obtained from drop weight data showed a maximum at very low concentrations and then a decline at higher concentrations. The bulk of the work was carried out by making surface tension measurements, using a sessile mercury drop, in solutions of a fraction of polyacrylic acid (mol. wt. 7.02×10⁴) in potassium chloride at 0.01, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 m at 25°C.The data have been used to evaluate the surface excesses of the polymer and of the inorganic ions. The distribution of K⁺ and Cl^– in the electrical double layer and the contact adsorption of Cl^– on the mercury were very little affected by the presence of the polymer. The surface excess of polymer was always found to be greatest at low concentrations, to decrease steeply at first as the concentration was increased and then to decrease more slowly at higher concentrations.Possible explanations of this behaviour are discussed and it is concluded that the rapid decrease is a consequence of molecular weight dispersion and the stronger adsorption of high molecular weight polymer. The slow decrease in surface excess at higher concentrations may be a result of configurational changes of the polymer molecules.Surface pressure data show that, despite this decrease in the surface excess, the surface coverage reaches a high level at very low polymer concentrations and then continues to increase slowly as the concentration of polymer is increased. This apparent contradiction is due to changes in configuration of the adsorbed polymer molecules. At higher bulk concentrations the chain configurations are more compact and each adsorbed molecule makes more contacts with and so occupies a greater area of the mercury surface than at low concentrations.The conclusion is reached that the surface excess of polymer is mostly contained in a layer probably more than 1000 Å thick. It consists of a concentrated and entangled mass of polymer chains. Relatively few of these chains are in contact with the mercury at any istant. The concentration in this surface layer decreases steadily with increasing distance from the mercury surface and it merges without discontinuity into the bulk solution.With 10 figures in 22 details     

Aufbau und Zunderverhalten von Niob-Bor-Silicium-Legierungen

Zusammenfassung Der Aufbau des Dreistoffes Niob-Bor-Silicium wird bei 1600° C mit Hilfe röntgenographischer und mikroskopischer Methoden ermittelt. Die T 2-Phase sowie die ternäre D 8₈-Phase besitzen einen ausgedehnten homogenen Bereich. Während Silicium in T 2 durch Bor bis annähernd Nb₅SiB₂ substituiert wird, besteht beim D 8₈-Typ eine Gitterauffüllung gemäß Nb₅Si₃B. Oxydationsversuche im Bereich von 400 bis 1200° C zeigen vor allem die Selektivität, indem Nb–Mk bzw. die Nb-Boride bevorzugt in Pentoxyd übergehen. Silicium übt einen stabilisierenden Einfluß auch auf das Bestehen von -Nb₂O₅ aus. -Nb₂O₅ tritt als Mischphase mit Anionendefekt auf, wodurch die sogenannte scharfe und diffuse Form erklärt wird. Die Umwandlungstemperatur - wird teilweise erheblich oberhalb der vonGoldschmidt angegebenen beobachtet. Die -Form wird als M-Modifikation nachBrauer identifiziert und relativ häufig nachgewiesen. Die -Form erweist sich alsBrauersche H-Modifikation und entsteht offensichtlich stufenweise (fast kontinuierlich) aus -Nb-Oxyd. Auf die Anionendefekt-Bildung wird nachdrücklich hingewiesen.Mit 3 Abbildungen     

2,3-Diphenylthiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts

The corresponding 2,3-diphenyl[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts were obtained by the condensation of 4,5-diphenyl-2-aminothiazole perchlorate with -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, -chlorovinyl aldehydes, and 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane. The PMR spectra were used to prove the structures of the compounds obtained, particularly to select the structures of the isomeric salts obtained in the condensation with unsymmetrical -diketones, -chlorovinyl ketones, and -chlorovinyl aldehydes. As a rule, the latter give one isomer — the -unsubstituted (relative to the bridge nitrogen atom) derivative.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 629–631, May, 1972.     

OVERVIEW OF EXPERIENCES WITH PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY FOR MALIGNANCY IN 192 PATIENTS

Abstract From April 1982 to April 1986 we used photodynamic therapy to treat 192 patients with various malignancies. In all, 172 injections of hematoporphyrin derivative and 135 injections of dihematoporphyrin ether were made intravenously to sensitize the tumors; 684 photodynamic treatments were given using a tunable dye argon laser system for the light source. The technical problems of the light source and delivery systems are presented and the efficacy of therapy is analyzed.
