Probing Higgs boson — and supersymmetry-induced CP violation in top quark production by (un-) polarized electron-positron collisions

We consider, both for unpolarized and longitudinally polarized electron beams, the reaction $e^ + e^ - \to t\bar t$ with subsequent semileptonict and nonleptonic $\bar t$ decay and vice versa and investigate optimized angular correlations which are sensitive to CP non-conservation in the $t\bar t$ production vertex. We calculate these correlations for two-Higgs-doublet extensions and the minimal super-symmetric extension of the Standard Model (SM) with CP violation beyond the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase. While the sensitivity of the optimal correlation for tracing dispersive CP effects is enhanced with longitudinally polarized electron beams, we find that the sensitivity of the best correlation for probing absorptive CP effects is almost independent of the polarization degree.     

Prognostication criterion of potential and practical use of analytical reagents in titrimetria of individual substances

Various possible criterion in titrimetric methods have been discussed in this paper and more informative, visual and universal criterion-the degree of proceeding of individual reaction at the equivalence point have been chosen. The equation for the degree of proceeding of individual analytical reaction suited for any chemical reactions under real conditions with an allowance made for both component and titrant concentration have been deduced. This criterion allows us to make a prognosis of any parametres of a titrimetric procedure of an individual substance determination and the procedure as a whole, not having carried out the experiment.     

The determination of environmental and industrial exposure to heavy metals based on the quantitative isolation of metallothionein from human fluids, with application of covalent affinity chromatography with thiol-disulphide interchange gel as a solid-phase extraction support

The aim of this study was to present a new analytical method for the quantitative determination of metallothionein (MT) proteins in human body fluids and tissues, in order to determine the level of environmental and industrial exposure to heavy metals. For MT isolation, covalent affinity chromatography with thiol-disulphide inter-change (CAC-TDI) was applied. Fundamentals of indirect determination of the contents of metallothionein proteins were worked out through estimation of the quantities of metals bound with metallothionein protein and adsorbed on covalent affinity chromatography gel as on solid-phase extraction support during separating process. The (CAC-TDI) gel, specially prepared, was used as a solid phase extraction support (SPE) for preconcentration of Hg-thionein (Hg-Th), Cd-thionein (Cd-Th), Zn-thionein (Zn-Th) and Cu-thionein (Cu-Th) proteins and Hg, Cd, Zn and Cu bonded with MTs from water, human fluids such as: urine, human plasma, breast milk and tissues homogenates.     

Effect of ‘Transannular Transmission’ in Dibenzo-18-Crown-6

The effect of the nature of the substituent in the monosubstituted derivatives of dibenzo-18-crown-6 on the reactivity and direction of the electrophilic substitution reaction of the unsubstituted benzene ring has been determined. This transfer is carried out via the macrocycle and therefore is called transannular transmission. The possible mechanism of this transmission is discussed.     

AM1 study of photoelectron spectra.

The -orbital structure of the monomeric form of the 2,2,4,6-tetrachloro-2,2-dihydro-1,5,2-diazaphosphorinine has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and using quantum-chemical calculations by the semiempirical AM1 method. It has been concluded that the electronic and energy characteristics of four higher -MOs (frontier and three next orbitals) of this compound may be interpreted in terms of semipolar bonds formed by three atoms (C, P, and N). For describing two low-lying -MOs of the ⁴,⁵-phosphorine studied, it is necessary to take into account the --interaction.For Part 8, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Bivoltametric titrations using electrodes with innovative geometry

Electrodes with different surface areas were investigated for the determination of reversible, quasireversible, irreversible or electroinactive substrates. Two kinds of electrodes were constructed, a helical electrode with a given asymmetry and a platinum array electrode with a variable area. These electrodes were applied for the cerimetry of ammonium iron(II) sulfate and for the bromatometry of various organic substances. The theoretically derived effects on the shape of the voltametric titration curve are verified experimentally. It is possible to sharpen one side of the peak and to broaden the other side, depending on the system and the side of the peak one is interested in. It is possible to improve the bivoltametric determination of hydroquinone, benzocaine and sulfaguanidine by bromatometry by the directed employment of electrodes of different areas. For the bromatometric determination of electrochemically irreversible substrates the use of the electrode geometries proposed is a way to obtain a sharp bend and a steep decrease of titration curves with low values of the constant current which is a basic requirement for the accuracy.
