Rhusemialins A-C, new cyclolignan esters from the roots of Rhus javanica var. roxburghiana

Three new cyclolignan esters and seven known compounds including two cyclolignan isolariciresinol, lynoiresinol, and five aromatic compounds methyl ferulate, vanillin, 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenaldehyde, 4-methoxygallic acid, gallic acid were isolated from n-butanol extract of Rhus semialata (Anacardiaceae). The structural elucidations of rhusemialins A (1), B (2), and C (3) were based on FAB-MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra.

Filmströmung nicht-newtonscher Flüssigkeiten an einer senkrechten oszillierenden Wand

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die eindimensionale Schichtenströmung pseudoplastischer Potenzflüssigkeiten in einem laminaren wellenfreien Film untersucht, der senkrecht an einer in der Strömungsrichtung harmonisch oszillierenden ebenen Platte herabfließt.Das zugehörige mathematische Modell wurde für eine Reihe der den Vorgang bestimmenden Parameter gelöst und mit entsprechenden experimentell ermittelten Daten verglichen. Die gewonnenen Resultate zeigen einen markanten Einfluß der Vibrationen auf die Filmströmung konzentrierter Suspensionen, der mit dem aufgestellten mathematischen Modell gut erfaßt werden kann.

Summary The one dimensional shear flow of pseudoplastic power-law fluids in a laminar nonwavy film, flowing down along an oscillating vertical flat plate, has been studied both theoretically and experimentally.The corresponding mathematical model has been solved numerically for a set of values of the governing parameters and the results have been compared with the experiments. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental values is reasonably good; the results show a pronounced influence of vibrations on the film flow of concentrated suspensions.

Quantitation of SAR97276 in mouse tissues by rapid resolution liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry

1,12‐Bis[5‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐4‐methyl‐1,3‐thiazol‐3‐ium]dodecane dibromide (SAR97276, T3) is a new antimalarial drug, which is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for severe malaria. Drug accumulation inside the parasite and a dual mechanism of action are a major strength of this compound, as it could help delay the development of resistance. The purpose of this article was to develop a rapid resolution LC‐MS method for quantifying SAR97276 in mouse tissues. The LC system consisted of Zorbax Eclipse XDB C8 (1.8 μm, 50×4.6 mm, 60°C) column. Elution with a gradient mobile phase consisting of ACN–trimethylamine‐formate buffer (pH 3) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min yielded sharp, utmost‐resolved peaks within 2 min. Tissue samples were powdered under liquid nitrogen. After protein precipitation with citric acid, SPE using WCX cartridges was used for sample preparation. There was no influence of the matrix on the detection of either SAR97276 or the IS. Assay precision was <13% and accuracy was 90–107%. The lower LOQs were 3.3 μg/kg in brain and 33 μg/kg in liver and heart. This newly developed method was used to study the tissue distribution of SAR97276 in mouse as part of the ongoing development of SAR97276.     

A differential pumping system to deliver windowless VUV photons at atmospheric pressure

In order to deliver VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) photons under atmospheric pressure conditions, a differential pumping system has been built on the DISCO beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation facility. The system is made of four stages and is 840 mm long. The conductance‐limiting body has been designed to allow practicable optical alignment. VUV transmission of the system was tested under air, nitrogen, argon and neon, and photons could be delivered down to 60 nm (20 eV).     

On the Energy Growth of Some Periodically Driven Quantum Systems with Shrinking Gaps in the Spectrum

We consider quantum Hamiltonians of the form H(t)=H+V(t) where the spectrum of H is semibounded and discrete, and the eigenvalues behave as E _n ∼n ^α , with 0<α<1. In particular, the gaps between successive eigenvalues decay as n ^α−1. V(t) is supposed to be periodic, bounded, continuously differentiable in the strong sense and such that the matrix entries with respect to the spectral decomposition of H obey the estimate ‖V(t) _m,n ‖≤ε|m−n|^−p max {m,n}^−2γ for m≠n, where ε>0, p≥1 and γ=(1−α)/2. We show that the energy diffusion exponent can be arbitrarily small provided p is sufficiently large and ε is small enough. More precisely, for any initial condition Ψ∈Dom(H ^1/2), the diffusion of energy is bounded from above as 〈H〉 _Ψ (t)=O(t ^σ ), where . As an application we consider the Hamiltonian H(t)=|p| ^α +ε v(θ,t) on L ²(S ¹,dθ) which was discussed earlier in the literature by Howland.
