Two Americium–Beryllium neutron sources were dismantled, sampled (sub-sampled) and analyzed via inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Characteristics such as “age” since purification, actinide content, trace metal content and inter
and intra source composition were determined. The “age” since purification of the two sources was determined to be 25.0 and
25.4 years, respectively. The systematic uncertainties in the “age” determination were ±4% 2σ. The amount and isotopic composition
of U and Pu varied substantially between the sub-samples of Source 2 (n = 8). This may be due to the physical means of sub-sampling or the way the source was manufactured. Source 1 was much more
consistent in terms of content and isotopic composition (n = 3 sub-samples). The Be–Am ratio varied greatly between the two sources. Source 1 had an Am–Be ratio of 6.3 ± 52% (1σ).
Source 2 had an Am–Be ratio of 9.81 ± 3.5% (1σ). In addition, the trace element content between the samples varied greatly.
Significant differences were determined between Sources 1 and 2 for Sc, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo, Ba and W. 相似文献
A series of supports – differing in their textural properties, the nature of their surface sites, and in their crystallinities – were investigated in the sequential grafting reaction of Cp2ZrCl2 and (nBuCp)2ZrCl2 mixtures. The catalyst systems were analyzed by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, AFM, EXAFS, and nitrogen adsorption. All systems were shown to be active in ethylene polymerization reactions when methylaluminoxane was used as the cocatalyst. Experimental results are discussed in terms of the relationships between the grafted metal content, the catalyst activity, the surface roughness and polarity, the interatomic Zr–C and Zr–O distances of the grafted species and the molecular weights of the resulting polyethylenes.
In the work described by this paper, we studied the development of a selective potassium ion sensor constituted of a carbon paste electrode modified (CPEM) with a novel KSr2Nb2O15. The material KSr2Nb2O15 is an oxide with the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure (TTB) type are in forefront both in the area of research as well as in industrial applications. The sensor response to potassium ions was linear in the concentration range 1.26 x 10-5 at 1.62 x 10-3 mol L-1 (E (mV) = 32.7 + 51.1 log [K+]). The sensor based KSr2Nb2O15, of the TTB-type presented very good potentiometric response, with a slope of 51.1 mV/dec (at 25 °C) and detection limit for the potassium ions of 7.27 x 10-5 mol.L-1. 相似文献
This study describes a simple and efficient procedure to synthesize a novel series of fourteen 4-substituted N-(5-pyridinyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amines, where the 4-substituents are H, CH3, C6H5, 4-FC6H4, 4-CH3C6H4, 4-CH3OC6H4 and 2-Furyl; from the cyclocondensation reaction of N-[5-(pyridinyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]guanidines with 4-alkoxy-4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl)-1,1,1-trifluoroalk-3-en-2-ones. The reactions were carried out in ethanol under reflux for 18 h and led to 40-68% yields. N-(Pyridyl-triazolyl)guanidine precursors were further obtained from reactions of cyanoguanidine with nicotinic or isonicotinic acid hydrazides and the halogenated enones from trifluoroacetylation of enolethers or acetals. 相似文献
The tandem Heck-lactonization reaction between enoates Z-1a,b, E-1a, E-2a-d, Z-2e, 2f, and o-iodophenols (4a-f) was studied in the presence of substoichiometric amounts of Pd(OAc)(2) or PdCl(2), under experimental conditions favoring the cationic mechanism (conditions A, B, and C), leading to coumarins 5a-f and 6a-e. Moderate to excellent yields were obtained under aqueous conditions (conditions A and B). Using electrospray ionization for transferring ions directly from solution to the gas phase, and mass spectrometry for structural assignments, key cationic palladium intermediates have been successfully intercepted and structurally characterized for the first time for this type of reaction. 相似文献
We propose a spectral curve describing torus knots and links in the B-model. In particular, the application of the topological recursion to this curve generates all their colored HOMFLY invariants. The curve is obtained by exploiting the full ${{\rm Sl}(2, \mathbb {Z})}$ symmetry of the spectral curve of the resolved conifold, and should be regarded as the mirror of the topological D-brane associated with torus knots in the large N Gopakumar–Vafa duality. Moreover, we derive the curve as the large N limit of the matrix model computing torus knot invariants. 相似文献
