A Fast and Efficient Track to Allosteric Modulators of Muscarinic Receptors: Microwave-Assisted Syntheses

By using microwave irradiation bisammonium-and bispyridinium-type allosteric modulators of muscarinic receptors can be obtained fast and efficiently.     

QED polarization asymmetries fore + e − scattering due to helicity flips

The polarization asymmetries for thee ⁺ e ^? scattering with polarized incoming and outgoing beams, which are proportional to the amplitudes? ₅ describing one helicity flip and? ₅ describing two helicity flips, have been calculated including their pure QED radiative corrections. These asymmetries are partly large and can be observed well at low energies.     

Mass spectrometric analysis of ceramics after decomposition with elemental fluorine

The features of a combustion with elementary fluorine for the case of compact SiC ceramics and model substances for boron containing ceramics (H₃BO₃ and Na₂B₄O₇) were investigated with the aim of their decomposition and analysis. On-line detection of the gaseous decomposition products by quadrupole mass spectrometry using electron impact ionisation was studied. Limitations by blanks and transport interferences were investigated. Standard addition as well as the isotope dilution technique were used for calibration in the case of B, C and W at the trace and major component level.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c.

Comparison principles for viscosity solutions of elliptic equations via fuzzy sum rule

A comparison principle for viscosity sub- and super-solutions of second order elliptic partial differential equations is derived using the “fuzzy sum rule” of non-smooth calculus. This method allows us to weaken the assumptions made on the function F when the equation F(x,u,Du,D²u)=0 is under consideration.     

METHODS FOR DUSTINESS ESTIMATION OF INDUSTRIAL POWDERS

Handling industrial powders leads to dust emissions. These emissions tend to generate human diseases or cause other environmental effects. A multitude of apparatus has been developed to estimate this dustiness behaviour of powders. Two of these well-known methods are presented and compared with each other. A third recently developed method is also introduced.

Q parameter estimation using numerical simulations for linear and nonlinear transmission systems

We compare the Q parameter obtained from scalar, semi-analytical and full vector models for realistic transmission systems. One set of systems is operated in the linear regime, while another is using solitons at high peak power. We report in detail on the different results obtained for the same system using different models. Polarisation mode dispersion is also taken into account and a novel method to average Q parameters over several independent simulation runs is described.
