Orthocomplemented complete lattices and graphs

The problem I consider originates from Dörfler, who found a construction to assign an Orthocomplemented latticeH(G) to a graphG. By Dörfler it is known that for every finite Orthocomplemented latticeL there exists a graphG such thatH(G)=L. Unfortunately, we can find more than one graphG with this property, i.e., orthocomplemented lattices which belong to different graphs can be isomorphic. I show some conditions under which two graphs have the same orthocomplemented lattice.     

Search for neutrons from ‘cold nuclear fusion’

We have searched for neutrons from a Pd-electrode loaded with deuterium in electrolysis setups similar to those of Fleischmann and Pons [1] and Jones et al. [2]. Within the sensitivity of our neutron detection system corresponding to a neutron source strength of 5 x 10^{? 2} neutrons/s we did not find any neutrons due to ‘cold nuclear fusion’. We emphasize the necessity of using several independent neutron detectors.     

Atome im Doppeltopf-Potential gefangen. Interferenz zwischen zwei Bose-Einstein-Kondensaten

Die Nachricht von den ersten Realisierungen von Bose-Einstein-Kondensaten aus schwach wechselwirkenden Atomen im Sommer 1995 [1,2] (siehe auch Physik in unserer Zeit, 27, 200 (5/1996)) zog eine Welle neuer Forschungsaktivitäten nach sich. Wolfgang Ketterle vom Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, und Kollegen gelang es kürzlich, zwei Bose-Einstein-Kondensate zur Interferenz zu bringen [3].     

Moenomycin a: New chemistry that allows to attach the antibiotic to reporter groups, solid supports, and proteins

Moenomycin A (18) on reaction with the diazonium salt derived from bifunctional (protected) 15 yields the coupling product 19 which on reduction is converted into the moenomycin thiol derivative 21. Thiol 21 has been used to prepare selectively moenomycin dansyl and biotin adducts 26 and 28, respectively. This work was performed with the aim to use moenomycin as a tool for studies of the transglycosylation step in peptidoglycan biosynthesis.     

Maximum excitation energy in fusion-evaporation reactions from light particle multiplicity measurements in32S+58Ni at 25 MeV/A

By using two 4 detector systems for charged particles and neutrons, we measured the evaporated light particles emitted in coincidence with evaporation residues (ER) produced in the reaction³²S+⁵⁸Ni atE(³²S) 820 MeV. From the analysis of the light particle multiplicities as a function of the ER velocity, we extracted the maximum excitation energy reached in fusion evaporation reactions for the studied system.Supported by the European Community Programme Human Capital and Mobility     

Short and long term stability of the elemental composition of human body fluid reference materials and their use as master lots

Summary Studies have been made of both short and long term stability of trace elements in lyophilized human body fluid reference materials, as well as the stability of mercury in reconstituted urine solutions. No detectable concentration changes for mercury, lead and aluminium occurred during the 5-year period. There are large differences in the amounts of mercury loss among different reconstituted materials. Addition of traces of gold to the solutions minimized the mercury loss and increased the useable time of the reconstituted material from hours to 8 days. A certification process based on direct determinations by reference laboratories and by comparison against master lots of the same material and against similar certified reference materials is presented. Values for calcium, copper and mercury obtained from reference laboratories and using the data transfer principle have been assigned in new batches of urine and serum.
