Der Transport von VO2 mit Cl2 und HCl + Cl2 und der Einfluß des O2-Bodenkörpergleichgewichtsdruckes auf den Transport

The Chemical Transport of VO₂ with Cl₂ and HCl + Cl₂ and the Influence of the O₂-Coexistence Equilibrium Pressure on the Transport Behaviour The transport behaviour of VO₂ with Cl₂, HCl, and Cl₂ was calculated and compared with the experimental results. VO₂ with the upper phase boundary transports with HCl and HCl + Cl₂ from the colder to the hotter zone, VO₂ of the lower phase boundary does not transport with HCl. The composition of the deposited VO₂ is near the upper boundary oxygen richer than in the start space. VO₂ does not transport with Cl₂.     

Matrix-isolation-FTIR spectroscopy with an integrating sphere

The use of an integrating sphere for the measurement of absorption spectra of thin films is described. The thin film (for example a rare gas matrix) is grown directly on the inside surface of the sphere. Multiple reflections inside the integrating sphere lead to significant enhancement of weak absorptions of the film, increasing the sensitivity of such measurements.     

Etude de l'équilibre azido ⇌ tétrazole dans la séric du thiazolo[2,3-e]-tétrazole. III. Effects des substituants

The substituent effects on azido/tetrazole equilibrium on a series of 2-substituted thiazoles, benzothiazoles, thiadiazoles, benzoxazoles and isoxazoles has been studied by proton magnetic resonance in two solvents (DMSO-d₆ and deuteriochloroform). For thiazole an excellent Hammett relationship was found, both for the 4 and 5 positions.     

The signal vs. concentration relationships in fluorimetry

Formulae for the fluorescence signal are derived which take into account some factors hitherto neglected. From these formulae conditions are deduced, for which a linear relationship exists between the concentration of the fluorescent components and the intensity of the fluorescence. In some cases of practical interest the fulfilment of these conditions cause too low a sensitivity. For such cases a method of optimization is outlined, by means of which the conditions are found which lead to the least deviation from linearity at the required sensitivity.     

A novel spectroscopy using ultrafast two-pulse excitation of large polyatomic molecules

A first infrared pulse at frequency ν₁ interacts with vibrational states in S₀ and a second visible pulse at ν₂ promotes the excited molecules to the S₁ state from where they fluoresce. Tuning the frequency ν₂ over 600 cm^?1 allows the observation of a detailed spectrum which gives information on vibrational states in S₀ and on vibronic states in S₁ together with corresponding Franck—Condon factors. The spectra differ drastically from the common broad and featureless absorption and fluorescence bands.     

Interferences in the determination of trace elements in high-purity tin

Reactor neutron activation analysis of antimony, indium and cadmium in high-purity tin is interfered with by nuclear reactions on the tin matrix. For a number of interfering reactions the cross-sections were determined. The following results were obtained:¹²²Sn(n,γ)^123mSn:σ_th=0.145 barn, I=0.79 barn;¹²²Sn(n,γ)¹¹³Sn:σ_th=0.52, I=25.4 barn;¹¹²Sn(n, 2n)¹¹¹Sn: microbarn;¹¹⁸Sn(n, α)¹¹⁵Cd: microbarn; and¹¹⁴Sn(n, p)^114m1In: microbarn.     

Einwirkung von Schwefel und Ammoniak auf Propiophenon,n-Butyrophenon und i-Butyrophenon

Zusammenfassung Bei der Einwirkung von Schwefel und Ammoniak auf Propiophenon,n-Butyrophenon undi-Butyrophenon entstehen die entsprechenden Thiazoline-(3), deren saure Hydrolyse zu -Mercaptopropiophenon, -Mercapto-n-butyrophenon bzw. -Mercapto-i-butyrophenon führt. Die Dehydrierung dieser -Mercaptoketone mit Schwefel zu Di- bzw. Trisulfiden wird beschrieben. Die Kondensation der -Mercaptoketone mit Ammoniak und einer Oxokomponente führt zu neuen Thiazolinen-(3), von denen die in 2- und 5-Stellung monosubstituierten Vertreter sich mittels Schwefel zu Thiazolen dehydrieren lassen.

The interaction of sulfur and ammonia with propiophenone,n-butyrophenone andi-butyrophenone leads to the corresponding thiazolines-(3). On acid hydrolysis of the latter -mercaptopropiophenone, -mercapto-n-butyrophenone and -mercapto-i-butyrophenone respectively are formed. The dehydrogenation of these -mercaptoketones with sulfur to di- and trisulfides respectively is described. The condensation of the -mercaptoketones with ammonia and oxo-components yields new thiazolines-(3) of which the 2- and 5-monosubstituted compounds can be dehydrogenated to thiazols with elementary sulfur.

     

An Interactive Production Planning System in the Chemical Industry

This paper offers an example of a practical production planning system as used routinely by BP Chemicals Ltd. It is based on the interactive control of a linear programming model embedded in a system for data collection and report production. The model solves a "product mix" type of problem with a multi-criteria objective function.     

Best approximation and de la Vallée-Poussin sums

For the class C_ε={f∈C_2π: E_n, n≤Z₊} where \(\left\{ {\varepsilon _n } \right\}_{n \in Z_ + } \) is a sequence of numbers tending monotonically to zero, we establish the following precise (in the sense of order) bounds for the error of approximation by de la Vallée-Poussin sums: (1) $$c_1 \sum\nolimits_{j = n}^{2\left( {n + l} \right)} {\frac{{\varepsilon _j }}{{l + j - n + 1}}} \leqslant \mathop {\sup }\limits_{f \in C_\varepsilon } \left\| {f - V_{n, l} \left( f \right)} \right\|_C \leqslant c_2 \sum\nolimits_{j = n}^{2\left( {n + l} \right)} {\frac{{\varepsilon _j }}{{l + j - n + 1}}} \left( {n \in N} \right)$$ , where c₁ and c₂ are constants which do not depend on n orl. This solves the problem posed by S. B. Stechkin at the Conference on Approximation Theory (Bonn, 1976) and permits a unified treatment of many earlier results obtained only for special classes C_ε of (differentiable) functions. The result (1) substantially refines the estimate (see [1]) (2) $$\left\| {V_{n, l} \left( f \right) - f} \right\|_C = O\left( {\log {n \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {n {\left( {l + 1} \right) + 1}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {l + 1} \right) + 1}}} \right) E_n \left[ f \right] \left( {n \to \infty } \right)$$ and includes as particular cases the estimates of approximations by Fejér sums (see [2]) and by Fourier sums (see [3]).
