The small momentum transfer k L o C→K S 0 C regeneration at high energies

Results of the first elastic K _S ^o regeneration experiment on carbon, using magnetic spark chamber spectrometer, are presented in the beam momentum interval 10p50 GeV/c. The d ifferentia cross section d/dt is reconstructed in the range 0·0025–t0·02 (GeV/c)² and its slopeB is found to be momentum independent with an average valueB=(65±11) (GeV/c)^–2. The results are in agreement with the calculations using the coherent production model.     

Magnetic moments and the high field susceptibilities of MnFe2O4

An extended version of the noncollinear spin model bySawatzky et al. is developed to derive a dependence of the differential high field susceptibility on the degree of inversion of the ferrite MnFe₂O₄. Using the available data on the main molecular field coefficients it is shown that the present model imposes restrictions on values of. Determination of from the measurements of the field dependence of the saturated moments at low temperatures on samples with varying degrees of inversion reveals good quantitative agreement with the present model.     

Effects of non-ionic surfactants on isotachophoretic separations of 2-arylpropionic acids

Non-ionic surfactant (Brij 35, Tween 20, Tween 80 and Tergitol NPX) modified capillary isotachophoresis was investigated for the separation of 2-arylpropionic acids (fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and naproxen) and benzoic acid and its derivatives (salicylic, acetylsalicylic and gallic acids). The relative step height (RSH) values of analytes were found to be dependent on the type and concentration of the surfactant. The strength of the affinity of the 2-arylpropionic acids to the non-ionic micelles was found to be as follows: flurbiprofen > fenoprofen > ibuprofen > naproxen > ketoprofen. In general, the RSH values of 2-arylpropionic acids increase with an increase in the concentration of surfactants. However, the RSHs of benzoic, salicylic and gallic acids are not considerably affected. Separation of all acids was obtained with the Tween 20 (1.5%, w/v) in the leading electrolyte 10 mmol L(-1) hydrochloric acid/L-histidine (pH 6.0). Changes in the fluorescence intensity of fenoprofen, flurbiprofen and naproxen were also investigated in micellar media (Tween 20, Tween 80 and Brij 35). The strength of the affinity of the 2-arylpropionic acids to the Tweens micelles was found to be as follows: flurbiprofen > fenoprofen > naproxen, which is consistent with the isotachophoretic results. On the contrary, the strength of the affinity to the Brij micelles was found to be as follows: fenoprofen > naproxen > flurbiprofen.     

Constituents of labiatae—XIV: Vierol and powerol,two new diterpenes from Sideritis canariensis

The two new diterpenes, vierol (1) [(?)kaurane-16α,18-diol] and powerol (3) [(?)kaurane-7β,16α-diol] have been isolated from Sideritis canariensis Ait. 1 was obtained by partial synthesis from epicandicandiol (7), and 3 was related with (?)kauranol (6) and (?)kauren-7β-ol acetate (11). Reduction of the acetoxy-aldehyde 14 by the method of Huang-Minlon and posterior acetylation gave 11, (?)isokauren-7β-ol acetate (17) and (?)kauran-7β-ol acetate (18).     

Cadmium colloids from non-aqueous solvents

Cadmium colloids have been prepared by Chemical Liquid Deposition (CLD). The metal is evaporated to yield atoms which are solvated at liquid nitrogen temperature, and upon warming, stable liquid colloids are formed with particle size ranging between 25–100 Å. Zeta potentials were calculated according to the conversion of Hunter and the Hückel equation, for ethanol and dimethyl sulphoxide. UV/VIS measurement of most of the black colloids showed absorption band around 280 nm. For comparison, we prepared CdS colloid with size 400–625 Å. The colloids are stable to oxidation in air and/or oxygen bubbling. The synthesis of colloids and films from Cd with acetone, 2-butanone, ethanol, 2-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol, DMF and DMSO is reported. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) allows us to determine particle size.     

Rapid spectrophotometric determination of chlorate with dimedone bisthiosemicarbazone monohydrochloride

Summary Dimedone bisthiosemicarbazone monohydrochloride has been examined to evaluate its usefulness as a reagent for rapid and sensitive Spectrophotometric determination of chlorate (0.5–5.0 ppm) by oxidation of the reagent in 70% perchloric acid medium and measurement of the yellow product. The molar absorptivity at 417 nm is 1.86×10⁴ l·mole^–1·cm^–1. The relative standard deviation is 1.6% for 2.5 ppm of chlorate.

Dose-dependent effect of resveratrol on proliferation and apoptosis in endothelial and tumor cell cultures

Experimental data suggest that Resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and other fruits may influence cell proliferation and apoptosis. The aim of our experiments was to study the effect of Resveratrol on tumor cell cultures and an endothelial cell culture in order to examine the effect of various doses of this compound on active cell death and cell proliferation. Human tumor (HT-29, SW-620, HT-1080) and endothelial (HUV-EC-C) cells were treated with various doses of (0.1 to 100.0 microg/ml) Resveratrol in vitro. Cell number, apoptotic and mitotic index was measured 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment. Low doses (0.1-1.0 microg/ml) of Resveratrol enhance cell proliferation, higher doses (10.0-100.0 microg/ml) induce apoptosis and decrease mitotic activity, which is reflected in changes of cell number. Resveratrol influences dose dependently the proliferative and apoptotic activity of human tumor and endothelial cells. The possible role of formaldehyde in the mechanism of action of Resveratrol is discussed.     

Bestimmung von C-Methylgruppen in organischen Sauerstoffverbindungen durch Oxydation mit Chromsäure unter optimalen Bedingungen. I

Zusammenfassung Eine Reihe sauerstoffhaltiger Modellsubstanzen, die Methylgruppen am primären, sekundären oder doppelt gebundenen Kohlenstoffatom enthalten, wurden mit einem Gemisch von 2 T. 5-n Chromsäure und 1 T. konz. Schwefelsäure 45 Minuten bei 130° C oxydiert. Die entstandene Essigsäure wurde mit Wasserdampf abdestilliert und alkalimetrisch titriert. Die angeführten Reaktionsbedingungen können als optimal angesehen werden, da sie die größte oxydative Wirkung haben, bei der jedoch Essigsäure nicht weiter oxydiert wird. Der Abbau des Kohlenstoffskeletts verläuft schneller und vollständiger als bei der Methode vonKuhn undRoth. Die Essigsäureausbeute lag zwischen 0,70 und 0,95 Mol Essigsäure je C-Methylgruppe und wurde in Abhängigkeit von der Struktur der untersuchten Stoffe diskutiert.

Determination of C-methyl groups in organic oxygen compounds through oxidation with chromic acid under optimal conditions

Summary A number of oxygen-containing model substances, which contained methyl groups on primary, secondary or doubly bound carbon atoms, were oxidized with a mixture of 2 parts of 5N chromic acid and 1 part of conc. sulfuric acid for 45 minutes ar 130° C. The resulting acetic acid was distilled off with steam and titrated alkametrically. The cited reaction conditions may be regarded as optimal, because they exert the greatest oxidative action, which however the acetic acid is not further oxidized. The degradation of the carbon skeleton proceeds faster and more completely than in the method ofKuhn andRoth. The yield of acetic acid lay between 0.70 and 0.95 mol acetic acid per C-methyl group and was discussed with respect to the structure of the investigated material.

Extraction of Am(III) in the presence of lanthanides and yttrium by benzyldimethyldodecylammonium nitrate from acidic nitrate solutions

We have investigated the effect of coextraction of lanthanides and yttrium on the distribution coefficients D_Am in the extraction of americium by benzyldimethyldodecylammonium nitrate (BDMLNNO₃) from nitrate solutions. In the coextraction of lanthanides, the extraction of Am(NO₃)₃ is suppressed, which is markedly manifested in the extraction of light lanthanides (La, Ce, Pr); of the series of lanthanides their extraction is the highest. The effect of nitric acid and the possibility of separation of lanthanides and americium by the application of three-stage multiple extraction is discussed.
