Investigation of natural compounds by the HPLC method II. HPLC fingerprint method for the epigeal organs of Ferula kuhistanica and F. tenuisecta

A microcolumn HPLC fingerprint method has been developed for the epigeal organs ofFerula kuhistanica andF. tenuisecta. The possibility has been shown of control by the microcolumn HPLC method of the qualitative and quantitative yields of ferutinin in the initial plant raw material and in preparations extracted from it, and also at each stage of the isolation of the desired product. The method is universal and does not depend on species and chemical composition of the plant. Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.

Studies on toxicological mechanisms of gas-phase cigarette smoke and protection effects of GTP

Gas-phase cigarette smoke (GPCS) was able to induce lipid peroxidation in lecithin liposomes, rat liver microsomes, and rat lung cells (RLC), and change the membrane fluidity of RLCs. Lipid free radicals were trapped in a GPCS-treated microsomal suspension by using 4-POBN as the spin trap. In addition, it was found that GPCS-peroxidized liposomes in appropriate degree of lipid peroxidation had the ability to increase the generation of superoxide anions in rat peritoneal neutrophils (RPN). Effects of green tea polyphenols (GTP) on the GPCS-induced damages were investigated The results showed that GTP was capable of inhibiting the GPCS-induced damages.     

Characterization of strongly interacted multiple cracks in an infinite plate

Based on the Kachanov method and the alternating iteration technique, a new method is proposed to deal with the problem of the strongly interacted multiple cracks in an infinite plate. Unlike the Kachanov method which neglects the interaction of the tractions of the non-uniform components, the tractions of the non-uniform components on the surfaces of cracks are considered through the alternating technique. The accuracy and efficiency of present method are validated by comparing the results of two collinear and two parallel overlapped open the cracks obtained by the present method with those of the exact solutions, the results of the Kachanov method and the alternating iteration technique. Applications of present method in solving sliding close crack problems and evaluating the plastic zones demonstrate the versatility of present method.     

On the mechanism of phenol ozonolysis

The mechanisms of liquid-phase phenol ozonation are revised. A new mechanism in which a significant role is played by free-radical reactions is suggested for this process.     

Submillimeter-wave large-orbit gyrotron

We develop a thermionic-emission electron-optical system forming a dense beam of electrons moving along helical trajectories round the axis of a gyrotron cavity. The maximum beam current is 4 A and the pitch-factor of electrons is 1.0 for a particle energy of 250 keV and a pulse duration of 10 µs. Using such a beam in a gyrotron operated at the third cyclotron harmonic, we obtain single-mode oscillation with a power of 10 µs in the TE_3,8 and TE_3,9 modes with frequencies 371 and 414 GHz, respectively.     

Molecular hydrodynamics of degenerate weakly nonideal bose gas. I. Generalized equations of two-fluid hydrodynamics

A degenerate weakly nonideal Bose gas is investigated at temperatures near zero. Relations connecting the irreducible Green's functions are used to obtain exact expressions for the two-time temperature-dependent Green's functions. In the case of weak nonideality an expression possessing interpolation properties with respect to the frequency and momentum is obtained for the density—density Green's function. At low frequencies, the results of two-fluid hydrodynamics are reproduced. At wavelengths less than the mean free path the energy of the elementary excitations and the damping obtained in the paper agree with the results of perturbation theory with respect to the coupling constant. An expression for the operator of the superfluid velocity is obtained.In memory of Nikolai Nikolaevich BogolyubovV. A. Steklov Mathematics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences.

小间隙高放大多丝室及其放电机制

对以强猝灭气体工作的小间隙多丝室及其放电机制进行了研究,实验表明,因为工作在饱和模式区,这种室同时具有很高的气体放大和相当快的时间特性.文中探讨了放电机制,雪崩中空间电荷效应以及电离光子的产生和作用是重要的因素,而其中后一因素又受到强猝灭气体的抑制.     

Cd-Sn(0.2)-Zn三元合金高压相图的测定

 为了验证三元合金高压相图的计算结果，本文采用高压DTA方法，测定了Cd-Sn-Zn三元系中x_Sn=20 at.%截面的高压垂直截面相图，实验压力为0、0.5、1.0、1.5 GPa。测得的常压相图（p=0 GPa）中其液相线与H. J. Bray的实验结果完全相符，所得高压相图与常压相图比较，在p=1.5 GPa时低共晶点上移了大约35 K，共析组成向富锌端移动了大约8%。
