Couplings between pion and charmed mesons

We compute the couplings , and using QCD sum rules. These couplings are important inputs in the meson-exchange model calculations used to estimate the amount of absorption due to pions and rho mesons in heavy-ion collisions. Our sum rules are constructed at the first order in the pion momentum , which give the couplings that are not trivially related to the soft-pion theorem. Our calculated couplings, which somewhat depend upon the values of the heavy meson decay constants, are , , and .

Gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric measurement of deuterium-labelled valine,leucine, isoleucine and phenylalanine in the human body

N-Trifluoroacetyl-n-butyl ester derivatives of deuterium-labelled valine, leucine, isoleucine and phenylulanine were analysed by the isotope dilution technique and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Selected ion retrieval and peak-area integration were applied. The conditions adopted gave good separations with a short experimental time and high intensity. Ratios of the total isotopic abundance and metabolic kinetic curves were obtained. The regression coefficient of the standard dilution curve was 0.99 and the relative standard deviation was 0.3%. The stabilities of the amino acid derivatives were also tested.     

Optical and structural properties of nanosized ZnGa2O4:Cr phosphor

Nanosized ZnGa₂O₄:Cr³⁺ powder is synthesized through hydrothermal method. The average particle size is 20 nm and they are spherical in shape. The excitation band from the charge transfer between Cr³⁺-O²⁻ shows a blueshift behavior due to quantum confinement effect. X-ray diffraction pattern, Fourier transform-infrared spectrum, and electron paramagnetic resonance signal indicate that nanosized ZnGa₂O₄:Cr³⁺ phosphor shows many defect-related energy states and heavy lattice distortion in comparison with bulk ZnGa₂O₄:Cr³⁺ phosphor. Many defect states result in more nonradiative loss and shorter decay time.     

Thermal analysis of aged hdpe based composites

HDPE based composites were produced with 10-20-30 and 40% composite mass of wood fiber. The coupling agents were epolene and silane. The thermal behavior of composite samples was analyzed as a function of the coupling agent content, the exposure time and the wood fibers content by means of differential scanning calorimetry. Calorimetric curves of all samples of first and second heating shows a similar behavior. Some significant relation has been observed between the exposure time and the degree of crystallinity for the same percentage of fiber samples. A linear relation between the melting enthalpy average vs. content in cellulosic fibers is detected. Nevertheless, the fibers non-pretreated with coupling agent show a lower loss of crystallinity of the HDPE matrix at low wood fiber content (10%). A slight diminution of the melting peak temperature is detected as increasing the exposure time. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
