A comparison of capillary-scale LC-NMR with alternative techniques: spectroscopic and practical considerations

Experimental and practical details for the use of capillary LC (CapLC)-NMR are reported. The capillary NMR probe has high sensitivity and excellent flow characteristics and we found CapLC-NMR to be best suited to samples that are truly mass limited. CapLC-NMR relies on good capillary-scale chromatography where highly concentrated peaks with a volume closely matched to the NMR flow cell are achievable. Provided that the loading capacity of the capillary column is not limiting, the combination of high sensitivity and high solvent suppression quality makes CapLC-NMR an excellent choice. For many real samples, however, the loading is limiting and we found the combination of LC-SPE-MS-NMR with a cryoprobe enables more material to be purified for NMR analysis, while retaining sensitivity.     

Nonadditive Shortest Paths: Subproblems in Multi-Agent Competitive Network Models

A variety of different multi-agent (competitive) network models have been described in the literature. Computational techniques for solving such models often involve the iterative solution of shortest path subproblems. Unfortunately, the most theoretically interesting models involve nonlinear cost or utility functions and they give rise to nonadditive shortest path subproblems. This paper both describes some basic existence and uniqueness results for these subproblems and develops a heuristic for solving them.     

Measured and predicted band model parameters of BF3(v3) at high temperatures

Two experimental techniques were used to determine the high temperature infrared absorption coefficients of the v₃ band of BF₃. A high temperature flow tube fitted with a multipass infrared absorption cell was used to determine the BF₃ absorption coefficients at 295, 585, 870, 1150, and 1440K. BF₃ was also used in a flame emission-absorption apparatus to determine the BF₃ absorption coefficients at 2400 K.A generalized formulation for predicting the S/d and 1/d band model parameters of symmetric top perpendicular bands of MX₃ molecules is presented. The effect of including nuclear spin statistics in computing the S/d and 1/d band model parameters is considered. It is shown that nuclear spin statistic?s effect only the 1/d parameter and are significant only for the case of zero nuclear spin. A number of practical considerations, which arise in designing a computer algorithm to calculate the S/d and 1/d parameters, are discussed.Comparisons of the theoretical and experimental BF₃ absorption coefficients are made. Good agreement between theory and experiment at all temperatures was obtained by adjusting only two vibrational energy coupling constants, _χ23 and _χ34. Predicted S/d and 1/d band model parameters at 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 K are presented.     

Analysis of energy disposal: thermodynamic aspects of the entropy deficiency of a product state distribution

A thermodynamic-like approach to the characterization of product state distributions is outlined. A moment analysis of the surprisal and the entropy deficiency is presented from a statistical mechanical viewpoint. The role of reactant state selection is discussed using the “state function” property of the entropy.
