Thermal analysis and X-ray studies of chiral ferroelectric liquid crystalline materials and their binary mixtures

Summary Thermal properties of a homologous series of ferroelectric liquid crystals S-(-)-[4-(2-n-alkoxy-propionyloxy)]biphenyl-4'-[n-alkoxy-(3,5-dimethyl)]benzoate have been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The mesophases were identified and confirmed by X-ray too. Three binary mixtures were prepared from the individual homologues. In one of the mixtures (Mix1), the ferroelectric SmC* phase has broadened and became enantiotropic. This mesophase remained monotropic in the other two mixtures (Mix2, Mix3). The chiral nematic N* phase did not appear in Mix1, but remained monotropic for the other two mixtures. Two molecular parameters, the layer spacing and the average intermolecular distance have been calculated from the X-ray results for the homologues and their mixtures. An intercalated tail-to-tail packing of molecules was found both in the single compounds and their mixtures resulting in the layer spacing about half of the molecular length of the single compounds.

H3PW12O40 and its cesium salts as pentane isomerization catalysts at ambient temperature

The activity of Mg−Al basic heterogeneous catalysts in the reactions of alcohols with ethylene oxide was studied. The kinetics of alcohol oxyethylation was examined. The kinetic equation of the reaction was determined and the structure of products was studied. The distribution coefficients of the oxyethylation reaction products were calculated. A comparison of the catalytic activity of Mg−Al hydroxides and products of their thermal treatment was made.     

Connections among quantum logics. Part 1. Quantum propositional logics

In this paper, we propose a theory of quantum logics which is general enough to enable us to reexamine previous work on quantum logics in the context of this theory. It is then easy to assess the differences between the different systems studied. The quantum logical systems which we incorporate are divided into two groups which we call quantum propositional logics and quantum event logics. We include the work of Kochen and Specker (partial Boolean algebras), Greechie and Gudder (orthomodular partially ordered sets), Domotar (quantum mechanical systems), and Foulis and Randall (operational logics) in quantum propositional logics; and Abbott (semi-Boolean algebras) and Foulis and Randall (manuals) in quantum event logics. In this part of the paper, we develop an axiom system for quantum propositional logics and examine the above structures in the context of this system.     

Analytical Detectors Based on Microplasma Spectrometry

Miniaturizing all dimensions of apparatus, such as electronics and computers, is the current trend followed by scientists in various fields. The idea of Lab-on-a-Chip has significantly expanded and found its broad applications in analytical chemistry. Microplasmas can act as a sample excitation source and are the miniaturized versions of full-sized plasmas. These can be created in various forms, such as direct current, microwave induced, capacitively coupled and inductively coupled plasmas. Scaling down the size would reduce the amount of gases, liquids and consumables required, as well as the sample analysis time, which in turn would decrease the operating costs. Therefore, several research groups are involved in the development of microplasmas for utilisation in analytical instruments.     

尼龙1216晶型转变的红外光谱研究

采用变温红外光谱研究了尼龙1216的Brill转变并测得Brill温度约为150℃。一些α谱带在转变过程中消失，氢键强度也急剧减弱。这些现象证明了Brill转变的“局部熔融”机理。     

用同步荧光法研究细胞色素C在水溶液中的存在形态

用同步荧光光谱法研究细胞色素Ｃ在水溶液中的存在形态，发现细胞色素Ｃ中色氨酸残基的同步荧光光谱随浓度改变而发生变化，在较稀的溶液中，只观察到色氨酸残基的一个荧光峰，在较浓的溶液中也观察到一个荧光峰，而在这两个浓度之间时，这两个峰共存，可能反映了细胞色素Ｃ在不同浓度溶液中聚集状态的不同，当向存在两个荧光峰的溶液中加入不同浓度的脲，在一定脲浓度范围内，细胞色素Ｃ不发生变性，脲的作用使细胞色素Ｃ的单体浓度
