Temperature-dependent behavior of birefringence and rotation of the optical indicatrix in crystals of deuterated triglycinesulfate

On the basis of a complex null-polarimetric method, the natural birefringence and the rotation of the optical indicatrix in crystals of deuterated triglycinesulfate are measured in the temperature range of 300–340 K. The temperature-dependent behavior of the optical parameters is shown to be close to that observed previously in triglycinesulfate crystals. Changes in them upon the ferroelectric phase transition can be accounted for by the spontaneous quadratic electro-optic effect, with the values of the electro-optic coefficients being larger by a factor of 1.4 than in triglycinesulfate crystals.     

Transformations of cobalt trimethylacetate complexes with pyrazole upon oxidation by air in THF

Synthetic routes to oxidation of cobalt atoms in cobalt trimethylacetate complexes containing coordinated pyrazole molecules have been considered.     

Band structures in73Se

Excited states of⁷³Se have been investigated up to spin, 21/2 using techniques of in-beamγ-ray spectroscopy in connection with the⁷⁰Ge(α, n) reaction. Mean lifetimes of 12 levels have been determined applying Doppler-shift andγ-RF-methods. Five different bands have been identified that reflect a variety of different excitation modes. The decoupled 9/2⁺ band is likely to correspond to an oblate deformation while the 5/2⁺ band is interpreted as a strongly coupled prolate band built on the Nilsson configuration [422] 5/2⁺. The 3/2^? band is a strongly coupled band built on the [301] 3/2^} configuration.Nuclear reactions:⁷⁰Ge(α,n),E=14, 16, 18, 19, 20MeV; measuredE _γ,I _γ,σ(E _γ,θ),γγ-coin, linear polarization, DSA,γ(t).⁷⁵Se deduced levels,I, π, τ, δ(E2/M1), B(σλ).

Structural analysis of the non-dialysable urinary glucoconjugates of normal men.

Enzymic methods were employed to analyse the structure of the non-dialysable urinary glucoconjugates of ten healthy males. The excretion of the urinary glucoconjugates was determined from the glucosyl:galactosyl ratio after acid hydrolysis, and a mean value of 0.27 was obtained. The results of the specific actions of alpha- and beta-glucosidases showed that the non-dialysable urinary glucoconjugates contain a branched alpha-glucan fraction with 1,4- and 1,6-glucosidic bonds, and a beta-glucan fraction containing 1,4-glucosidic bonds.     

Copper-D-penicillamine complex as potential contrast agent for MRI.

Theory of a frequency-step-tunable gyrotron for optimum plasma ECRH

A theory is presented which describes the dependence of the multimode operation of a gyrotron on the modulation and beam voltages. Nonlinear nonstationary processes are considered. An approximate start-up scenario of a gyrotron is determined which makes it possible to achieve single-mode excitation and high-efficiency operation in a desired mode, as well as to switch the tube to a similar operation in other modes
