Resonances in low-energy rare-gas atom scattering

Precise values of energies and widths of low-lying resonances in some rare-gas atom systems (Ar-Ar, Ne-Kr, Ne-Xe) are reported.     

Influence of a background gas on expanding plasma clots

An expansion of finite plasma clots into the background neutral gas is studied numerically. The presented model includes the quasineutrality violation as well as the interpenetration of plasma and neutral gas at the boundary of the plasma. We estimate the region of plasma parameters where the model is correct. Space distributions of main plasma parameters, cooling of electrons and the process of inter-penetration of the plasma and the neutral gas are analysed as well as an empiric formula for electron temperature is found. Finally, it is shown that the most intensive plasma-gas inter-penetration occurs in the case where the initial plasma and gas densities are the same.     

Shelf-life of99mTc(Sn)-pyrophosphate

The effect of the preparation conditions on the in vitro stability of^99mTc (Sn)-pyrophosphate kit solution has been examined. To extend the shelf-life of the preparation, different methods of protection were tested. Nitrogen purging stabilizes the kit for at least 6 h after labeling when the content of^99mTc-pertechnetate raises to about 5%. However, this method is ineffective in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The protecting ability of two chemicals was also determined. Gentisic acid gave good results. In the presence of 50 g of gentisic acid per ml of the kit the content of pertechnetate was 1–2% throughout the examined time interval. To eliminate the influence of hydrogen peroxide (6 g per ml of the kit) about 100 g of gentisic acid is needed. N, N-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD) performs some protecting effect only when used in the samples protected by nitrogen purging. However its protecting ability is lower that in the case of gentisic acid.     

Labelings of two classes of plane graphs

The paper describes magic labelings of type (1,1,1) for two classes of graphs, which are obtained by a combination of vertex, edge and face labelings.     

Analytische Aspekte der Oxydation organischer Stickstoffverbindungen mit Chromsäure. XXVIII

Zusammenfassung Die schon früher beschriebene gasvolumetrische Methode zur N-N-Gruppenbestimmung durch Oxydationsaufschluß mit Chromsäure wurde zur Bestimmung des heterocyklischen Stickstoffes in Indazolinonderivaten mit Erfolg benützt und dadurch weiter die allgemeine Anwendbarkeit der Methode bestätigt. Enthält die Substanz gleichzeitig Amino- oder Nitrogruppen, können diese aus derselben Einwaage als Ammoniak bzw. Salpetersäure bestimmt werden.

Analytical aspects of the oxidation of organic nitrogen compounds with chromic acid

Summary The gas volumetric method for determining N-N groups by oxidative fusion with chromic acid (which has already been described previously) was successfully employed to determine the heterocyclic nitrogen in indazolinone derivatives. The general applicability of the method was thereby confirmed. If the substance contains amino or nitro groups at the same time, these can be determined in the same sample as ammonia or nitric acid.

Reaction of N-phenylsulfonylbenzoxazolone with some amines

The reaction of N-phenylsulfonylbenzoxazolone with amines was investigated in order to study the mechanism of the reaction between aryloxazolones and amines. The sulfonyl group accelerates the reaction considerably. The structure of 2-(phenylsulfamido)phenyl esters of the corresponding N-substituted carbamic acids was assigned to the products on the basis of the IR spectra and alternative synthesis. The reaction with secondary aliphatic amines (dimethyl- and diethylamine)proceeds considerably more slowly and results in the formation of 2-(phenylsulfamido)phenol.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1333–1336, October, 1971.     

About the ratio of the size of a maximum antichain to the size of a maximum level in finite partially ordered sets

LetP be a finite partially ordered set. The lengthl(x) of an elementx ofP is defined by the maximal number of elements, which lie in a chain withx at the top, reduced by one. Letw(P) (d(P)) be the maximal number of elements ofP which have the same length (which form an antichain). Further let . The numbers and as well as all partially ordered sets for which these maxima are attained are determined.     

Maps of intragranular precipitation strengthening

Maps of strengthening by small (semi)coherent precipitates homogeneously dispersed in the grains have been constructed. They can show the most probable dislocation-particle interaction mechanism and the strengthening effect of a given dispersion of particles. As an application, the effect of-Ni₃(Al, Ti) and M₂₃C₆ precipitation in austenitic steels is discussed.     

The d-resonance scattering in amorphous Fe x Pd80−x Si20 alloy

The electrical resistivity of amorphous Fe _x Pd_80–x Si₂₀ alloy has been discussed in terms of extended Ziman theory. The increase in the electrical resistivity of Fe _x Pd_80–x Si₂₀ has been predicted due to the d-resonance scattering of the conduction electrons by Fe-atoms.Dedicated to Academician Vladimír Hajko on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

Stereospecific total synthesis of (±)-strempeliopine

The 18-methylene-1,2-dehydroaspidospermidine (III) was stereospecifically transformed into the schizozygane alkaloid strempeliopine (II) in 16,6 % overall yield.
