Classification of wheat varieties: use of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for varieties that can not be classified by matrix assisted laser desorpiton/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry and an artificial neural network

Analyzing a gliadin extract by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) combined with an artificial neural network (ANN) is a suitable method for identification of wheat varieties. However, the ANN can not distinguish between all different wheat varieties. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) was applied to three pairs of wheat varieties, which can not be classified correctly by ANN. By 2-D PAGE the varieties in the three pairs can be discriminated and these six wheat varieties can be separated from each other, which could not be separated by MALDI-TOF-MS and NN.     

Isentropic partial molal compressibilities of alcohols in propylene carbonate at 25°C

The isentropic coefficients of compressibility of the homologous series of alcohols and diols R _n CH₂OH (n=2–6), CH₃CHOHR _n (n=1–5), 1,2-propanediol, 1,3- 1,4- and 2,3-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, and 1,7-heptanediol dissolved in propylene carbonate have been measured at 25°C. Isentropic partial molal compressibilities and group partial molal compressibilities at infinite dilution have been evaluated. The isentropic partial molal compressibilities of these alcohols and diols have been compared with the corresponding values in water. This comparison shows that the values in propylene carbonate are higher than in water by a factor of 10 due to an increased compressibility of the solvation sheath around nonpolar groups in PC.     

Das Schwingungsspektrum von Magnesium-orthovanadat

The infrared and laser-Raman spectra of crystalline Mg₃(VO₄)₂ are reported and a factor group analysis for the full lattice is presented to support the discussion. The 1,000 to 600 cm^?1 region of the spectrum is essentially related to internal (stretching) modes of the greatly distorted VO₄ tetrahedra, whereas the bands in the low frequency region must be assigned to complex vibrations originating in the interaction of the bending vibrations of the tetrahedral groups with the external modes.     

Photobleaching of radiation induced trapped electrons in neutral and alkaline glasses. Hydrogen atom formation

Photomobilization of trapped electrons in 7 M NaClO₄- and 9 M NaOH-glass gives rise to trapped hydrogen atoms. This is probably due to the reaction e^?_m + H₂O → H + OH^?. Experiments with an electron scavenger indicate that electrons are not precursors to radiolytically produced hydrogen atoms. It seems that the mobile electrons produced during photobleaching are not slowed down to thermal energy before they react to produce hydrogen atoms, since the yield of the latter species is strongly dependent on the wavelength of the bleaching light.     

Das dielektrische Verhalten von Polyäthern zwischen Mikrowellen- und Infrarot-Gebiet

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Absorption und Dispersion verschiedener Polyäther im Mikrowellengebiet und im fernen IR untersucht. Mit wachsender Sauerstoffzahl in der Kette werden die Torsions- und Biegeschwingungen wachsend IR-aktiv. Ihre Frequenzlagen ändern sich mit dem zunehmend polaren Charakter der Struktur. Die Analogie zwischen der Verschiebung der Schwingungsfrequenzen und dem Verlauf der Schmelztemperaturen wird diskutiert.Mit zunehmend polarem Charakter steigen der Temperaturkoeffizient der Molpolarisation und die Differenz (–n ²) der Dielektrizitätskonstanten im Mikrowellengebiet und im optischen Bereich stark an. Ein Vergleich mit der Höhe der Dispersionsstufen im fernen IR und deren Temperaturabhängigkeit ergab, daß diese zusätzliche Polarisation nicht allein durch die IR-aktiven Banden bedingt ist. Sie muß gekoppelt sein mit dem ebenfalls stark anwachsenden Untergrundverlust im gesamten mm- und sub-mm-Gebiet.

Summary Absorption and dispersion of several polyethers were measured in the microwave region and in the far infrared. The torsional vibrations become increasingly iractive with increasing number of oxygens in the chain. Their frequencies shift, too, in a manner analogues to the variation of the melting temperatures.The temperature coefficient of the mol polarization at 32 GHz and the difference (–n ²) between microwave and optical dielectric constant rise rapidly with increasing polar character of the structure. It was tried to correlate (–n ²) with the overall absorption of the skeletal vibrations. Height and temperature dependence of the far ir dispersion show, however, that the larger part of this additional polarization cannot be accounted for by the resonance absorption bands. It must be correlated with the background loss which extends over the whole mm and sub-mm range and also increases rapidly with increasingly polar structure.

Swelling effect onα-relaxation in high density polyethylene

Summary Swelling effects of carbon tetrachloride on the mechanical relaxations in the crystal mat and the melt-crystallized samples of high density polyethylene were studied using a torsion pendulum. A very strong-relaxation peak appears by swelling at the low temperature side of the original-relaxation for the crystal mat. It was shown that this strong-relaxation originates from the slippage between the highly swollen lamellae. For the melt-crystallized sample, the-relaxation peak is decreased by swelling, but its temperature is unchanged. This behavior suggests that the-relaxation in the melt-crystallized sample originates mainly from deformation process of intermosaic block region. The swelling effect on-relaxation was also discussed.

Zusammenfassung Quellungseffekte von Tetrachlorkohlenstoff auf das mechanische Relaxationsverhalten in Einkristall-Matten und schmelzkristallisierten Proben von linearem Polyäthylen wurden mit den Torsionspendeln untersucht. Ein sehr starkes-Maximum tritt durch die Quellung bei tieferen Temperaturen als der der-Relaxation in den nicht gequollenen Einkristall-Matten auf. Es wird gezeigt, daß diese starke-Relaxation auf das Gleiten der ausreichend gequollenen Lamellen zurückzuführen ist. Bei schmelzkristallisierten Proben wird das-Maximum durch die Quellung erniedrigt, seine Temperaturlage wird jedoch nicht verändert. Dies zeigt, daß die-Relaxation in der schmelzkristallisierten Probe hauptsäcblich auf Deformations-Prozessen in den Blöcken beruht. Auch die Quellungseffekte auf die-Relaxationen wurden diskutiert.

     

Orbital correlation effects: The independent pair-potential approximation with application to the ground state and first ionized state of boron hydride

A new method is proposed for calculating correlation effects in atomic and molecular systems. The basis of the method is the formulation of a set of partial configuration expansions which yield directly variational orbital correlation corrections which are appropriately summed in order to obtain an estimate of the total correlation energy. This method is applied to the ground state of boron hydride and its cation at the equilibrium distance of BH. The results of the method are compared in detail with independent electron pair results and second order CI results. It is further shown that multiple substitutions are approximately accounted for in this method and the extent to which they are included is compared with other approximations. Finally, three methods of increasing accuracy, aimed at reducing the necessary computational effort, are given for determining the vertical ionization potential. The most economical method yields an IP of 9.70 eV or 0.03 eV less than the experimental IP. Completion of the basis is estimated to improve this value to 9.77 eV.     

Exploiting C3-symmetry in the dynamic coordination of a chiral trisoxazoline to copper(II): improved enantioselectivity, and catalyst stability in asymmetric lewis acid catalysis

Chiral C3-symmetric trisoxazolines are highly efficient stereodirecting ligands in enantioselective Cu(II) Lewis acid catalysis which is based on the concept of a stereoelectronic hemilability of the divalent copper; in direct comparison with the analogous bisoxazoline systems they are more efficient in the enantioselective alpha-amination as well as the enantioselective Mannich reaction of prochiral beta-ketoesters.
