Strukturviskosität von verdünnten Lösungen von Biopolymeren

The importance of the rheological behaviour of solutions of macromolecules is briefly evaluated. The viscosity of the solutions depends on concentration, shear rate and time of shear, this relation being determined by the structure of the dissolved molecules. In dilute solutions shear dependence of viscosity is very frequently caused by the preferential orientation of anisotropic molecules. In such a case the particle dimensions can be calculated from the true limiting viscosity number, an anisotropy factor, the rotational diffusion constant and the effective particle density. These numbers can be derived from the flow curve, which has been extrapolated to zero concentration. It is necessary to measure the flow curve at shear gradients, which are sufficiently low to allow for an extrapolation to vanishing shear rate. By comparing the experimental flow curve with a choice of theoretical ones, the rotational diffusion constant and the anisotropy factor (axial ratio) can be found. From the limiting viscosity number and the axial ratio, the particle density can be calculated.     

Komplexe von 2,6-Dimethylpyridin-1-oxid mit Lanthanidjodiden

Complexes of 2,6-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide with lanthanide iodides of the formulaeLn(2,6-LTNO)₅I₃ whereLn=La, Tb and Yb,Ln(2,6-LTNO)₄I₃ whereLn=Pr and Nd and Er(2,6-LTNO)_4.5I₃ have been prepared and characterised by chemical analysis, infrared and conductance studies. Infrared and conductance data have been interpreted in terms of dimeric (or polymeric) structures involving bridging amine oxide groups.

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].     

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.
