Investigation of the NMR enhancement factor in CuMn spin glasses

The NMR enhancement factor of a frozenCuMn spin glass has been measured at a temperatureT?T _g /5. The measurements were performed as function of static magnetic fields of different directions. A two component model of a spin glass has been outlined. One component being a “system of single spins” and the other one being a “subsystem of clusters”. Both components were attributed to different kinds of interaction being RKKY and dipole interaction respectively. The effective anisotropy field of the single spin system consists of two unidirectional contributionsH _a ^s andH _a ^c , which have been measured for different conditions. A second anisotropy fieldH _d binds the cluster system to the system of single spins. All anisotropy fields depend on the annealing temperature of the alloys.     

Photolithographically patternable nitrate-sensitive acrylate-based membrane

A photocurable acrylate matrix nitrate-sensitive membrane containing 2-nitrophenyl n-octyl ether as mediator and tetraalkylammonium nitrate as an active compound is described. The photocuring was achieved by the use of photoinitiators containing diaryliodonium chloride. This acrylate membrane is patternable via a photolithographic process with a only slight loss of electrochemical characteristics.     

A generalization of the Rouse-Zimm model

The idea of consistently averaging the hydrodynamic interaction and its various consequences for Hookean dumbbells are reviewed. For long chains this idea can be used to generalize the Rouse-Zimm model for polymer solutions. Unlike the usual Rouse-Zimm model, the new model for steady shear flow predicts a nonzero second normal stress coefficient and shear rate dependent material functions. In the limit of long chains, the viscosity and the normal stress coefficients are universal functions of the reduced shear rate.This paper was presented at the Frühjahrstagung des Fachausschusses Polymerphysik der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft at Kaiserslautern (West Germany), March 12–14, 1986.     

Electron propagator calculations of molecular electron affinities

An approximate electron propagator method for predictive calculations of molecular electron affinities is proposed. The self-energy accounts for relaxation effects to all orders Additional correlation effects are treated using a diagonal approximation with shifted denominators. Applications to CN, NH₂, and PH₂ are reported.

Summary A mixture of about 10–15 ml of-naphthylisocyanate with about 6%. 1,4-diazabicyclo [2,2,2]-octane reacts instantaneously and quantitatively with water in mg quantities. The resulting carbon dioxide is automatically titrated. Amounts of water of about 0.3–3 mg were determined within 8 min. with a standard deviation of 0.8% rel.

     

An empirical many-body potential energy function constructed from pair-interactions

A new empirical potential energy function (PEF) is proposed, which is formed from pair-interactions only, and containes the many-body contributions. The PEF satisfies bulk cohesive energy and bulk stability condition. The PEF is parameterized for copper, silver, and gold elements in fcc crystal structure. The elastic constantsC ₁₁ andC ₁₂ and the bulk modulus of the elements are calculated, and the structural stability and energetics of microclusters containing 3 to 7 atoms of the same elements are investigated.     

Preparation and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of a ligand containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole groups

(1R,2R)-1,2-bis-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diol (L) has been prepared by the reaction of thiosemicarbazide with (2R,3R)-(+)-tartaric acid (I) and phosphorous oxychloride, and its complexes with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) have been obtained. The structures of the ligand and its complexes have been established by i. r., ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra, u.v.–vis–nir spectroscopy, elemental analyses, T.g.-D.t.a. and magnetic susceptibility measurements.     

Untersuchungen über das dielektrische Verhalten von Polypropylen

Zusammenfassung Das Verhalten von Polypropylen im elektrischen Wechselfeld wurde im Frequenzbereich von 0,15 kHz bis 300 kHz und im Temperaturbereich von –75 C bis +140 C untersucht. Es konnte sowohl ein Tieftemperaturdispersionsgebiet —-Absorption — als auch ein Hochtemperaturdispersionsgebiet —-Absorption — beobachtet werden. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse wurden, um die Breite des Dispersionsgebietes und die zugehörigen -Stufen zu bestimmen, nach demCole-Cole-Kreisbogengesetz analysiert. Aus dem Anstieg der Geraden: logf _max 1/T _K wurden sowohl für die- als auch fur die-Absorption die experimentellen Aktivierungsenergien berechnet. Eine Deutung der Ergebnisse wurde versucht.     

New 6-(4-Bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole Derivatives: Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity

Summary.  New 4-alkyl/aryl-1-((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-3-thiosemicarbazides and 3-alkyl/aryl-2-(((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-hydrazono)-4-thiazolidinones were synthesized from 6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-3-acetic acid hydrazide. Their structures were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data. All compounds were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds were assessed by the microbroth dilution technique. The compounds were also evaluated for antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H₃₇Rv (ATCC 27294); they exhibited varying degrees of inhibition in the in vitro primary screening at 6.25 μg · cm⁻³. The most active compound was 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(((6-(4-bromophenyl)-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-yl)-acetyl)-hydrazono)-4-thiazolidinone. Corresponding author.

Vertical distribution of the natural and artificial radionuclides in various soil profiles to investigate soil erosion

Vertical distributions of ¹³⁷Cs and ²¹⁰Pb in soil profiles were examined to study their availability in soil erosion at Gökova region where there exists intensive agricultural activities on sloppy fields. Since the mobility of these radionuclides depend on soil characteristics, soil samples were analyzed also for their physical and chemical properties. From ¹³⁷Cs inventories measured, erosion rates for cultivated and disturbed (no cultivation) soils were calculated to range from 79.1 to 6.5 t^.ha^-1.y^-1 and from 79.9 to 3.5 t^.ha^-1.y^-1, respectively. The ²¹⁰Pb technique is found to be not suitable for erosion determination for this area, presumably due to the coal-fired power plants operating in the region.
