Kinetics issues of CuBr lasers with added hydrogen

A computational kinetics model of the CuBr laser with added hydrogen is presented. The space-time behaviour of the lasers and lasants is described in detail. Besides the discharge field, it is confirmed that the dissociation/recombination of the CuBr molecule plays an important role in the plasma electron temperature. The radial field, which peaks at 30% of the discharge field and has two opposite directions along the radius, results in the skin of electron density and the black centre of the large-bore laser beam.     

HPLC study of the binding of sulfinpyrazone to serum albumin

Summary A thin layer chromatographic method for a qualitative screening-test and a quantitative analysis of 2,4,6-TNT, biodegradation products, octogen and hexogen in ammunition wastes was developed using both polar and non-polar modified sorbents. For enrichment a solidphase extraction on LiChrolut® EN followed by removal with methanol/acetonitrile (11 v/v) was chosen. To imitate real samples, spiked tap water samples of known composition were used.
