Berechnung von mittleren Schwingungsamplituden einiger tetraedrischer Moleküle und Ionen nach der Methode der charakteristischen Schwingungen

Mean amplitudes of vibration of a series of tetrahedralXY ₄ molecules and ions (hydrides, halides, oxides and oxoanions) have been calculated using the “Method of the Characteristic Vibrations” ofA. Müller. The results indicate that this method leads to very good values for most of the investigated species, and especially in the cases of highM _X/M_Y mass ratio.     

Die Hydrohalogenierung von Hexaphenyldigerman und die Schwingungsspektren einiger Ge2(C6H5) n X6−n -Verbindungen

The reactions of Ge₂(C₆H₅)₆ with HCl and HBr lead in nearly quantitative yields to the 1,1,2,2-tetrahalo derivatives Cl₂(C₆H₅)GeGe(C₆H₅)Cl₂ (I) and Br₂(C₆H₅)GeGe(C₆H₅)Br₂ (II), resp. The Si?Ge bond of (C₆H₅)₃SiGe(C₆H₅)₃ is cleaved under the conditions of hydrohalogenation. The vibrational spectra of Ge₂Br₆, Ge₂(C₆H₅)₆, I, and II are reported. The influence of vibrational coupling on ν GeGe in these compounds is discussed in detail, including vibrational calculations.     

Eine Topologie auf der Menge der endlichdimensionalen nichtassoziativen Algebren über einem lokalen Körper

Motivated by an investigation ofKuz'min [2], in this note we introduce a topology on the set of nonassociative algebras of a fixed dimensionr< over a local fieldF. We obtain a space, which is notT ₁. If the trivial algebra is removed, the remaining subspace is quasicompact. The space is homeomoprhic to the group of square classes ofF ^*; forr3 the space is notT ₁. The set of division algebras is open in.     

Maße für gerichtete Geraden und nicht-symmetrische Pseudometriken in der Ebene II

We continue our investigations started in a paper with the same title. The -length of a curve defined in this paper can be written as an integral along the curve. Furthermore, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a measure of orientated lines which generates a given non-symmetric pseudo-metric.

A variational proof of the Gauss-Bonnet formula

The classical Gauss-Bonnet formula has the form I(g_ij)=2, where I(g_ij) represents a sum of three terms each of which depends on the metric tensor g_ij. It is shown that the first variation I of I(g_ij) with respect to the metric g_ij vanishes and that for the Euclidean metric _ij we have I(_ij)=2. From this the formula I(g_ij)=2 follows. In the process, explicit expressions are obtained for the first variation of each of the three terms which comprise I(g_ij). Furthermore, a general expression for the first variation of a multiple integral whose integrand is a scalar density depending on the metric tensor g_ij and its derivatives up to the second order is obtained with the aid of results of Rund [1].     

Monitoring of ethanol during fermentation using a microbial biosensor with enhanced selectivity

The present study is concerning the construction of ferricyanide-mediated Gluconobacter oxydans cell ethanol biosensor. The size exclusion effect of a cellulose acetate membrane was used for elimination of glucose interferences during ethanol assays in real samples. A typical response time of the biosensor was 13 s with a high sensitivity of 3.5 microA mM(-1). The microbial biosensor exhibits a very low detection limit of 0.85 microM and a wide linear range from 2 to 270 microM. The operational stability was excellent. During 8.5 h of repetitive ethanol assays, no decrease in the sensor sensitivity was observed. The biosensor was successfully used in the off-line monitoring of ethanol fermentation with a good agreement with HPLC measurements (R(2)=0.998).     

Spezifisches Verfahren zur quantitativen CO2-Bestimmung in natürlichen Wässern

The direct determination of CO₂ is often faulty because of certain contents of the natural water. Due to this reason a specific method was worked out. The water to be analysed and distilled water are placed side by side in a gas-tight vessel with an atmosphere free of CO₂, whereby mixing is avoided but gas-exchange is possible. After adjustment to the gas-equilibration the CO₂ content of the distilled water is determined e.g. by titration, measuring of conductivity or other methods, from where the CO₂ content in the natural water is calculated.
