Eine Methode zur Bestimmung der spezifischen Radioaktivität der „freien Aminosäuren“ in Gewebeextrakten von Säugetieren

Some experiences are given with a measuring device for the determination of the specific radioactivity of ¹⁴C-labelled brain amino-acids. The apparatus consists of an automatic amino-acid analyzer combined with a flow cell filled with anthracene. The reproducibility of the method is ±5% to ±1% m.e. in the range of 1×10^?3 μCi to 5×10^?2 μCi. A quantitative determination of 3×10^?4 μCi/ml eluant is still possible.

Structural optimization for the avoidance of self-excited vibrations based on analytical models

Self-excited vibrations are a severe problem in many technical applications. In many cases they are caused by friction as for example in disk and drum brakes, clutches, saws and paper calenders. The goal to suppress self-excited vibrations can be reached by active and passive techniques, the latter ones being preferable due to the lower costs. Among design engineers it is known that breaking the symmetries of structures is sometimes helpful to avoid self-excited vibrations. This has been verified from an analytical point of view in a recent paper. The goal of the present paper is to use this analytical insight for a systematic structural optimization of rotors in frictional contact. The first system investigated is a simple discrete model of a rotor in frictional contact. As a continuous example a rotating beam in frictional contact is considered and optimized with respect to its bending stiffness. Finally a brake disk is optimized giving some attention to the feasibility of the modifications for the production process.     

Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS): A Promising Tool for Biological Research

Abstract

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is an important biophysical technique. FCS is currently being used in many areas of biology to solve several scientific problems. Its properties such as detection at the single molecular level, higher sensitivity, and use of lower sample volume make FCS a promising molecular diagnostic tool. The promising applications of FCS extend from DNA kinetics/dynamics studies to the comprehensive understanding of receptor–ligand interactions. In this article, we review various promising biological applications of FCS.     

Reaktionen mit phosphororganischen Verbindungen, 48. Mitt.

Reaction of the vicinal diols of steroids1, 5, 7, 10, 13, and16 with TPP/DEAD yields both regio-and stereospecifically the oxosteroids2, 6, 8, 11, 14, and15 by displacement of an axial hydrogen and extrusion ofTPPO besides the cholest-4-en-6-ols9 and12 and the cyclic carbonate3. 16, 17-androstandiol16 gives only the cyclic carbonate17. The different structures of the carbohydrates withcis-diol arrangement19 and21 lead exclusively to cyclic carbonates20 and22 in moderate yields. Treatment of1 with TPP/DEAD/HN₃ affords 3-azido-2-hydroxycholestane4 in addition to the above mentioned2.

     

The electron impact fragmentation of 3- and 4-styrylpyridazine

The electron impact mass spectrometric fragmentation of trans-3- and trans-4-styrylpyridazine is reported in detail, including a comparison with other aza-stilbenes. With regard to a distinction between the two isomeric styrylpyridazines, the intensity ratio of the M⁺ and [M-1]⁺ ions, the general degree of fragmentation and the elimination pathways of nitrogen proved to be most characteristic.     

π-Olefin—iridium -komplexe : III. Über (η4-cyclodien)(η5-cyclodienyl)iridium-verbindungen,einen neuartigen hydridoiridium-komplex und das (η4-cyclooctadien)(η6-cyclooctatrien)iridium-kation

The complexes [Ir(COD)(η⁵-C₇H₉)] and [Ir(COD)(η⁵-C₈H₁₁)] are obtained by the isoprophyl Grignard synthesis of [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ (COD = η⁴-1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of cycloheptatriene, and cyclooctatriene, respectively. The later reaction yields [IrH(COD)(δ⁴-1,3,6-C₈H₁₀)] as a by-product which, in contrast to other [IrH(η⁴-cyclodiene)₂] complexes, does not show H-addition-elimination equilibria. Reduction of [Ir(1,3-C₇H₁₀)₂Cl] with C₂H₅OH/Na₂CO₃ yields [Ir(η⁴-1,3-C₇H₁₀)](η⁵-C₇H₉)] which was characterized by X-ray analysis. [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ reacts with Na₂C₈H₈, and after hydrolysis unstable [Ir(COD)(η⁵-C₈H₉)] is formed which by protonation with HPF₆ is converted into the [Ir(COD)(η⁶-1,3,5-C₈H₁₀)]⁺ cation. All these compounds are fluxional in solution.
