Regio-controlled hydrogen-deuterium exchange of biologically important indoles under uv irradiation

Photochemical hydrogen-deuterium exchange reaction of biologically important indoles is reported. The regioselectivity of the photodeuteration was found to be controlled by the ammonium group of the side chain.     

Concentration dependence of electroosmosis and streaming potential across charged membranes

Electroosmosis and streaming potential measurements were carried out across charged membranes made of collodion and sulfonated polystyrene. Experiments were confined to the range where linear flux/force relationships hold. Saxén's relationship holds between electroosmosis and streaming potential; for porous charged membranes these exhibit an approximate inverse proportionality to ionic mobility at the limit of low electrolyte concentration. Both tend towards zero at the limit of high electrolyte concentration.     

Fluorination of double-walled carbon nanotubes

Fluorine atoms are selectively attached to the sidewall of the outer shell of DWNTs without disrupting the double-layered morphology; the stoichiometry of the fluorinated DWNTs is CF(0.30).     

Metallic Ni nanoparticles confined in hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica material

Single nanometer-sized metallic Ni particles have been successfully deposited inside a hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica material by using a liquid-phase reductive deposition method.     

The reactions 6, 7Li, 9Be, 10B(e,e′p) at 700 MeV and DWIA analysis

The proton spectral functions of ⁶Li, ⁷Li, ⁹Be and ¹⁰B obtained from the (e, e′p) reactions at 700 MeV are presented. The results were analyzed in the distorted-wave impulse approximation, using the shell-model single-particle wave functions consistent with the elastic electron scattering results. The observed Ip proton momentum distributions for the nuclei ⁶Li, ⁷Li and ⁹Be show significant disagreement with the shell-model momentum distributions. The occupation probabilities of the proton single-particle states are around 0.7, with a few exceptions.     

Contact density and number of 5s electrons inβ-Sn

Lifetimes and feeding times of high spin states in ¹⁵⁶ Er have been measured employing the recoil distance method in the reaction ¹²³ Sb(³⁷ Cl,4n) at bombarding energies of 158 and 166 MeV. The yrast states up to spin 20 ? were found to be collective. These levels are fed, however, from long-lived high spin states, causing time delays up to ～ 100 ps, the existence of which is interpreted as a signature for an oblate shape at high spin.     

New measurements of Cabibbo-suppressed decays of mesons with the CLEO-c detector

Using of data collected with the CLEO-c detector, we report on first observations and measurements of Cabibbo-suppressed decays of D mesons in the following six decay modes: pi+ pi- pi0 pi0, pi+ pi+ pi- pi- pi0, pi+ pi0 pi0, pi+ pi+ pi- pi0, eta pi0, and omega pi+ pi-. Improved branching fraction measurements in eight other multipion decay modes are also presented. The measured D --> pi pi rates allow us to extract the ratio of isospin amplitudes A(DeltaI = (3/2) / A(DeltaI = (1/2)) = 0.420 +/- 0.014(stat) +/- 0.016(syst) and the strong phase shift of delta1 = (86.4 +/- 2.8 +/- 3.3) degrees, which is quite large and now more precisely determined.     

Search for exclusive multibody non- decays at the resonance

Using data collected at the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell e+e- storage ring, we present searches for 25 charmless decay modes of the psi(3770), mostly multibody final states. No evidence for charmless decays is found.
