Microchip electrophoresis for chiral separations

Microchip electrophoresis (MCE) is a promising new technique for the separation of enantiomers. This recently introduced technique enables chiral separations to be performed in seconds on tiny micromachined devices. This review is intended to give a brief introduction into the principles of chiral separations with MCE with regard to methodology and instrumentation. Different approaches to realize chiral separations in microfluidic devices are described and discussed. This review gives an overview of original work done in this field with emphasis on approaches to improve detection and resolution in chiral MCE.     

Accurate calibration of TXRF using microdroplet samples

TXRF has been applied in combination with VPD to the analysis of trace impurities in the native oxide layer of Si wafer surfaces down to the range of 10(8) atoms. cm(-2). Proper quantification of VPD/TXRF data requires calibration with microdroplet standard reference wafers. The precision of calibration function has been evaluated and found to allow quantification at a high level of 3 sigma confidence with microdroplet standard reference.     

Über Derivate des 5,5-Diphenyl-glykocyamidins

Zusammenfassung Es wird über die Kondensation von Benzil mit Guanidin, p-Toluolsulfonyl-guanidin und Dicyandiamid berichtet, die zu 5,5-Diphenylglykocyamidinen führt. Der Einfluß der Alkali-Menge und der Reaktionsdauer auf die Richtung der Kondensation werden untersucht. Weiters wird eine strukturbeweisende Zweitsynthese für 5,5-Diphenyl-N_exo-p-toluolsulfonyl-glykocyamidin angegeben.

Derivatives of 5.5-diphenyl-glycocyamidine

Guanidine, p-toluenesulfonyl-guanidine or dicyandiamide react with benzil to give 5,5-diphenyl-glycocyamidines. The influence of the alkali concentration and the reaction time on the direction of the condensation is investigated. For 5,5-diphenyl-N_exo-p-toluenesulfonyl-glycocyamidine a structure proving synthesis is given.

     

On the nilpotent * - Fourier transform

LetG be a nilpotent Lie group. The adapted nilpotent Fourier transform was introduced by D. Arnal and J. C. Cortet,:L(G) C (V,L(^2d )), whereL(G) is the Schwartz space ofG andV × ^2k is aG-invariant Zariski open set ing ^* the dual of the Lie algebra ofG. We prove the surjectivity of this transformation, which allows us to extend it to distribution spaces.
