Color Gauge Invariance in Hard Processes

Within the theoretical framework which we apply, a suggested origin for single-spin asymmetries is the presence of gauge links in transverse momentum-dependent distribution functions. Recently we found new gauge-link structures in a number of hard processes. These structures need to be considered in the evolution of parton distribution functions and for establishing factorization.     

Rietveld refinement of CdSe phases annealed under argon atmosphere

Hexagonal and cubic cadmium selenide were prepared from a chemical route by using cadmium chloride and potassium selenium hydride obtained from reaction of selenium powder and potassium boron hydride. The product obtained was thermally treated under argon flux at 300, 500 and 600 °C for 2 h and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction data were refined by Rietveld method and the structural parameters were determined for the phases of each annealed samples. At 300 °C five phases were identified: Cubic and hexagonal cadmium selenides and the contaminants: Potassium chloride, boron oxide and cadmium boron oxide. At 500 and 600 °C only the hexagonal cadmium selenide phase was identified besides the other above mentioned contaminant.

Quantitative Bestimmungen mittels cyclischer Voltammetrie an der Phasengrenze zweier mischbarer Elektrolytl?sungen

Summary This paper presents some applications of cyclic voltammetry at the interface of two immiscible electrolyte solutions by means of an experimental set-up described in a former publication. When using special sample preparation good results are obtained for the determination of iodide and quinine in pharmaceutical products as well as for the determination of quinine in tonic water and dodecylsulfate in a tooth-salt.

On the onset of separation in turbulent boundary layer flow over two-dimensional humps of various size

Summary The available laboratory data of turbulent boundary layer flow over two-dimensional obstacles have been examined in order to identify the parameters (such as the aspect ratio or the surface roughness) driving the onset of separation. A comparison with some linearized models suitable for atmospheric applications is also made. It results that i) the model response can be highly sensitive to the detailed shape of the obstacle; ii) the ratio between obstacle length and boundary layer thickness is relevant in determining the pressure perturbation near the surface; iii) the surface shear stress is poorly described in most cases and in particular in the obstacle wake.

Riassunto I dati di laboratorio disponibili, relativi a strati limite turbolenti su ostacoli bidimensionali, sono stati esaminati al fine di identificare i parametri guida della separazione (quali la pendenza o la rugosità della superficie). Inoltre è stato fatto un confronto con i risultati di alcuni modelli linearizzati adatti per applicazioni atmosferiche. Ne risulta che i) la risposta del modello è molto sensibile alla forma dettagliata dell’ostacolo; ii) il rapporto fra la lunghezza dell’ostacolo e lo spessore dello strato limite turbolento incidente è importante nel determinare la perturbazione della pressione vicino alla superficie; iii) lo ?shear stress? superficiale non è riprodotto con accuratezza nella maggioranza dei casi, in particolare nella scia dell’ostacolo.

Резюме Анализируются имеющиеся лабораторные данные по турбулентному течению в пограничном слое над двумерными препятствиями, чтобы идентифицировать параметры (такие как аспектное отношение или шероховатость поверхности), определяющие возникновение отрыва. Проводится сравнение с некоторыми линеаризованными моделями, удобными для атмосферных приложений. Получены следующие результаты: 1) модельный отклик может быть очень чувствительным к детальной форме препятствия; 2) отношение между длиной препятствия и толщиной поверхностного слоя является существенным при определении возмущения давления вблизи поверхности; 3) напряжение поверхностного сдвига плохо описывается в большинстве случаев и, в частности, в спутной струе.

     

Assay of vecuronium in plasma using solid-phase extraction, high-performance liquid chromatography and post-column ion-pair extraction with fluorimetric detection

An assay has been developed and validated for the routine monitoring of vecuronium in plasma. It consists of solid-phase extraction using C18 disposables as sample pre-treatment, high-performance liquid chromatography and post-column ion-pair extraction with fluorimetric detection. The fluorescent anion 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene-2-sulphonate (DAS) is used as the counter ion. The detection limit is ca. 5 ng/ml in plasma with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10. The assay is also applicable for monitoring vecuronium and its potential metabolites in other biological media, e.g., urine, bile and tissue (liver, kidney) homogenates.
