A kinetic study of the displacement reaction between nickel(II) and zinc-ethylenediaminetetraacetate by a radiometric method

A radiometric study of the kinetics of the displacement reaction between nickel(II) and⁶⁵Zn-labeled zinc salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which was previously used by the authors for the analysis of trace quantities of nickel, has been carried out under varying conditions of temperature, pH etc. The above reaction was confirmed to be first order with respect to both Ni²⁺ and to^*ZnEDTA. The overall reaction rate constant, k_f, has been shown to be inversely proportional to the concentration of Zn²⁺ and directly proportional to the concentration of H⁺. From the dependence of the rate constant on the concentration of Zn²⁺ and H⁺ a three-step mechanism is proposed for the above reaction. The values for E_a, ΔH^‡, ΔG^‡ and ΔS^‡ for the overall reaction have been computed from the experimental data.     

Direct observation of the spinorbit splitting in the Ar+ ion with a diode laser

The ²P_{$\text{1}\text{2}$}-²P_{$\text{3}\text{2}$} fine structure transition in the ground (3p⁵) state of the argon atomic ion. Ar⁺, has been detected in absorption using a tunable diode laser. The transition was calibrated against water vapour lines and measured to be 1431.644 ± 0.001 cm^?1 in ⁴⁰Ar⁺ and 3.0 × 10^?3 cm^?1 (91 MHz) smaller in ³⁶Ar⁺.     

Physical Sorting of Coded Documents

A large number of coded items such as bank checks are initially mixed randomly. It is desired to sort them into k categories using a sorting device with m pockets (m < k). Several possible objectives are noted, and a new criterion oriented to the average time until categories are sorted out is analyzed. A simple strategy is shown to minimize the average number of sorting passes that elapse until an item is sorted out.     

The Guanidinium Group in Molecular Recognition: Design and Synthetic Approaches

The guanidinium group is found in many natural products and has been extensively incorporated into various drug designs as well as artificial receptor structures. In this paper we critically review the various synthetic routes to guanidiniums and describe a novel approach that allows the mild formation of multi-substituted derivatives.     

Topos Perspective on the Kochen=nSpeckerTheorem: III. Von Neumann Algebras as theBase Category

We extend the topos-theoretic treatment given in previous papers of assigningvalues to quantities in quantum theory, and of related issues such as theKochen–Specker theorem. This extension has two main parts: the use of vonNeumann algebras as a base category and the relation of our generalized valuationsto (i) the assignment to quantities of intervals of real numbers and (ii) the ideaof a subobject of the coarse-graining presheaf.

Classes on Compactifications of the Moduli Space of Curves Through Solutions to the Quantum Master Equation

In this paper we describe a construction which produces classes in compactifications of the moduli space of curves. This construction extends a construction of Kontsevich which produces classes in the open moduli space from the initial data of a cyclic A _∞-algebra. The initial data for our construction are what we call a ‘quantum A _∞-algebra’, which arises as a type of deformation of a cyclic A _∞-algebra. The deformation theory for these structures is described explicitly. We construct a family of examples of quantum A _∞-algebras which extend a family of cyclic A _∞-algebras, introduced by Kontsevich, which are known to produce all the kappa classes using his construction.
