A potential of mean torque is derived for a solute at infinite dilution in a uniaxial liquid crystal solvent, which contains terms originating from the dispersion interaction, and the electrostatic interaction between quadrupole moments on both molecules. It is shown that the electrostatic term is non-zero only if the solute-solvent vectors are distributed with lower than spherical symmetry. If this distribution has cylindrical symmetry then both the electrostatic and dispersion terms in the potential of mean torque are shown to depend on order parameters for the orientational distribution of the solute-solvent vectors, as well as on the order parameters of the solvent molecules. 相似文献
Dielectric relaxation measurements of 5 mole % 4-n-hexyloxycyanobenzene (I) dissolved in 4-n-pentyloxyphenyl-trans-4-n-octylcyclohexylcarboxylate (II) were carried out from 1 kHz to 10 MHz in the nematic, smectic A and smectic B phases. The relaxation frequency of I parallel to the director is about 05 MHz in the SBphase and increases rapidly at the transition from SB to SA. 相似文献
Traditional ensiling of plant material by anaerobic lactic acid fermentation was combined with enzymatic hydrolysis (ENLAC for short) with cell wall degrading enzymes (hemicellulases, cellulases, and pectinases) to increase fiber digestibility or to increase the recovery of cell content from plants. Such findings were made using 0.015% (w/w, wet basis) Phylacell® enzyme preparation by ENLAC of corn and corn-sorghum mixtures, but not of forage grasses. Addition to alfalfa of a mixture of cell wall degrading enzymes, such as NOVO Viscozyme® together with NOVO Celluclast® each at 0.2–1.0% (w/w, wet basis), resulted in more rapid ensiling and improvement of rumen digestibility of silage by 20%. After 20 d of ensiling at 25 °C when the same enzymes were added to alfalfa at the 1.0% level, protein recovery by pressing increased by 35%, β-carotene recovery by 80%, and chlorophyll/xanthophyll recovery by 30%. ENLAC with the same enzymes also increased the recovery of sclareol from muscatel sage by 400%.

A nonuniform electron density distribution is observed in La1−x− yNdySrxCuO4 and La1−x−yEuySrxCuO4, and long-lived magnetic fluctuations in these compounds are studied. The dynamics of the magnetic fluctuations depends strongly
on the magnetic properties of the rare-earth ions, which stabilize the low-temperature tetragonal phase.

Summary The results of local meteorology, solar radiation and ground-level ozone measurements taken in Antarctica during the second
Italian expedition (December 86–February 87) at Terra Nova Bay are presented. During the summer months the site of the Italian
base camp is characterized by a thin strip of deglaciated ground, along which the temperature measurements close to the ground
and up to 6 m high show a strongly superdiabatic profile. This irregular trend of the temperature in the surface layer is
mainly due to the notable incoming amounts of radiation and to the extreme transparency of the atmosphere. This is also shown
by the low values of the ratio between total radiation and diffuse radiation. The ground is thus subjected to intense heating,
especially in the warmer hours of the day, while the surface layer of the atmosphere will be characterized by strong upward
heat fluxes and by turbulent convective movements. Vertical-temperature-profile measurements show an almost forced persistence
in the superdiabatic trend, which tends towards isothermic values only as a resultof rapid variations in the direction and
intensity of the wind, connected to the downward flux of cold air masses, shown also by the simultaneous increases in ground-level
ozone concentrations which would support the presence of dry-deposition processes in the lower layer. However, the complex
local orography and the horizontal discontinuity (sea, deglaciated coast, snow-covered surfaces) do not permit a correct application
of profile flux relations, normally used in studies on groundlevel dry-deposition.

Both a mode-locked argon-ion laser and synchrotron radiation were used as excitation sources to obtain time-resolved polarized fluorescence of the two FAD cofactors in electron transferring flavoprotein fromMegasphaera elsdenii. Red-edge excited and blue-edge detected fluorescence anisotropy decay curves did not contain a fast relaxation process which was observed upon mainband excitation and detection. This relaxation was assigned to homo-energy transfer between the two FAD cofactors. Failure of energy transfer as observed with edge spectroscopy on this protein excludes restricted reorientational motion of the flavins as a possible mechanism of depolarization. From the global analysis of the fluorescence anisotropy decay surface obtained at multiple excitation and detection wavelengths, the distance between and the relative orientation of the flavins could be estimated. The methodology described has general applicability in other multichromophoric biopolymers and has the potential to acquire accurate geometrical parameters in these systems. 相似文献
