The application of principal component regression on simultaneous multicomponent determinations through a single catalytic kinetic run

The kinetic behaviors of Cr(VI) and W(VI), which catalyze a common indicator reaction between H(2)O(2) and I(-), were studied. A new concept, 'Rate Spectrum', is proposed. The two catalysts can be determined simultaneously by analyzing the rate spectra of their mixtures as the rate spectra of each catalyst are linearly independent. Principal Component Regression (PCR) was used to analyze the rate spectra of the mixtures of Cr and W, and in this way the two ions were determined simultaneously through a single kinetic run.     

治疗小儿厌食症中药强壮灵冲剂微量元素测定及其与疗效关系探讨

已证明小儿厌食症除与缺乏微量元素锌关系密切外,还与其他多种微量元素和宏量元素的缺乏或低下也有关。本院以自行研制的中药强壮灵冲剂治疗小儿厌食症疗效显著。其于浸膏粉经２０余种微量元素测定表明含有锌、铁、钴、铜、镍、锰、铬、锗、锶、铝、钡、硒、硅、钛等多种人体必需且品种齐全,含量适度的微量元素。上述元素又恰是患儿体内所缺乏和低下的品种,无疑对患儿全面适度的补充大有裨益．中药强壮灵与西药硫酸锌临床对比研究表明,无论比发锌回升数值以及从厌食等全面疗效统计,中药组均明显优于西药组,并且发现疗效与药物的补锌量不成正相关。说明中药的调理脾胃功能及综合整体治疗作用是其突出优点,值得推广．     

Orthogonal array design (OAD) for the optimization of mercury extraction from soils by dilute acid with microwave heating

The use of dilute acid for mercury extraction from geological samples with microwave assisted heating was investigated. An orthogonal array design OA(16)(4(1)x2(12)) was applied to select the optimum conditions. The effects of the concentration of HNO(3), the additions of HCl and H(2)S0(4), the extraction time and their interactions were evaluated by the mixed-level orthogonal array design (OAD). The results indicated that the addition of small amount of HCl would improve significantly the extraction of mercury from soil matrices. From the study, it is seen that the mercury in the soil matrices could be extracted completely by 14% (v/v) HNO(3) with small quantity of HCl. The effects of the pressure within the digestion vessel and the sample mass were studied under the optimum conditions derived from the OAD. The extraction methods with optimum conditions were evaluated by determining mercury in NIST SRM 1645 River Sediment, NIES CRM No. 2 Pond Sediment and NRCC BCSS-1 Marine Sediment. Recoveries of 78-109% were achieved. Good mean recoveries of 95-98% were also obtained from real soil samples spiked with different species of mercury.     

Chaotic electronic scattering with He(+)

We investigate classical electronic collisions with a He(+) ion. Scattering functions, such as the scattering angle, collisional time, or energy of the outgoing electron, all exhibit an interesting hierarchial self-similar structure, which can be interpreted in terms of the indefinite number of electronic returns to the vicinity of the nucleus, encounters between electrons, and Keplerian excursions of electrons during the collisional processes. Based on this mechanism a binary coding is introduced to organize the dynamics of this three-body system and to provide an understanding of the self-similarity among generations of scale magnification, which yields escape rates that vary with the sectional cut into the parameter space. The self-similarity displayed within a single generation, on the other hand, can be simply tied to the periods of the two independent electronic excursions. The physical interpretation and the symbolic dynamics introduced here are generally useful for three-body collisional systems, including atomic, molecular, or stellar collisions.
