A Simple Method of the Flow Rate Determination of Fluids on the Basis of Diagrams obtained by a Radioactive Tracer Measurement

The simpliest and most convenient in a practical use method of the flow rate measurement, based on the tracer technique, is a such one, in which the passing time of the “tracer wave” is determined. The results are then obtained as a diagram of radiation intensity in the chosen points of the pipeline. The passing of the tracer over these points is marked on a recording tape in a form of the characteristic peaks. Depending on the kind of flow, the recorded peaks take the different shapes. In the first order they depend on the velocity profile in the pipe cross section. This differentiation of velocities causes that, when the distance between the detecting probe and the injecting unit increases, the tracer wave becomes more diluted, involving consequently a corresponding lengthening and flattening of peaks.     

Measurement of stable isotope activities in saline aqueous solutions using optical spectroscopy methods

The requirement to measure the stable isotopic compositions of saline pore fluids by optical methods has prompted a re-evaluation of the isotopic salt effect for common salts. Hydrogen and oxygen isotopic salt effects were measured at room temperature (21°C) by optical methods. For hydrogen isotopes, our results agree well with those of previous studies and better define these effects at low temperatures. In contrast, measured oxygen isotope salt effects disagree within error for NaCl and CaCl₂ solutions from those reported previously. Subtle differences between measurement methods may account for the discrepancy. In studies that involve highly saline fluids, the isotopic salt effect must be taken into account because modern methods that measure stable isotopic compositions as activities or concentrations may be not directly comparable to historical data sets.     

Aus der Praxis Erste Ergebnisse zur On-line-Schnellextraktion mit Kronenethern bei kernchemischen Experimenten

Im Zusammenhang mit on-line-Bestrahlungsexperimenten har sich vor allem die He-Jet-Technik einen festen Platz erobert [1- 5], der nicht in Frage gestellt werden soll. Unge- uchtet dessen erseheint es zweekmäßig, ergänzend Techniken zu entwickeln, die ausschließlich auf Verwendung von flüsigen Phasen basieren. Das erlaubt es, die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten zu nutzen, welehe die Chemie in Lösungen für Trenn- und Anreicherungsaufgaben bietet. Dabei wird von der Grundannahme ausgegangen, daß bezüglich der Transportgeschwindigkeit die entsprechenden Parameter der Gas-Jet-Technik durch rein flüssige Varianten bestenfalls erreicht jedoch kaum übertroffen werden können. In der zur Verfügung stehenden Literatur wurde lediglich von Aronsson u. a. 1973 ein System beschrieben, wo in einer n, γ-Reaktion eine Lösung direkt bestrahlt wird [6], dieses findet sich jedoch in der späteren Literatur nicht wieder.

Die hier darzulegenden Ergebnisse stellen erste Experimente zur direkten Bestrablung einer Lösung mit beschleunigten Ionen dar. Sie sollen in letzter Konsequenz der Erarbeitung einer Experimentiervariante     

Mass Spectrometric Determination of Transuranium Elements

Abstract

Mass spectrometric techniques are playing a predominant role for the determination of transuranium elements in bulk samples as well as in microparticles. Their applications to liquid and solid samples for the determination of the isotopic composition as well as for the concentration measurements are discussed. The new developments for the characterization of microparticles stemming from different release scenarios of radioactivity are considered. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and its hyphenation with other techniques for resolving isobaric interferences are presented. The application of glow discharge and laser ablation directly to solid samples is highlighted. Finally, the exploitation of secondary ion mass spectrometry, accelerator mass spectrometry, resonance ionization mass spectrometry, and thermal ionization mass spectrometry for the determination of the isotopic composition of uranium and plutonium in microparticles is illustrated.     

Originalarbeiten 133m Xe zur Markierung von Gasphasen bei technischen Tracerexperimenten

Bei technischen Tracerexperimenten bereitet die Markierung von Gasphasen Schwierigkeiten, wenn man auf Außenwandmessungen angewiesen ist, da die Auswahl an geeigneten Radionukliden bzw. radioaktiv markierten Verbindungen dann sehr beschrānkt ist. Eine gute Ergänzung des Radionuklidangebotes für den genannten Zweck bietet ^133mXe, Halbwertszeit 2,3 d, E_γ = 0,23 MeV (16%). ^133mXe erhält man mit guten Ausbeuten bei einer Reaktoraktivierung von natürlichem Xenon. Die Sälligungsaktivität fär ^133mXe beträgt bei einem Fluß von 5,0 μ 10¹³ n/cm²s 48,5 mCi/cm³ Xenon (unter Normalbedingungen). An Veweilzeitmessungen von Gasphasen in technischen Anlagen werden die Einsatzmöglichkeiten des ^133mXe dargestellt.

Vibrational Assignment of N-Phenylphthalimide and 15N-Phenylphthalimide

Abstract

The i.r. spectra of N-phenylphthalimide and ¹⁵N-phenylphthalimide have been measured in 4000–100 cm^?1 frequency range as KBr and polyethylene pellets and as chloroform solutions. The Raman spectra (4000–50) cm^?1 of microcrystalline powder of the of the same compounds have also been investigated.

A detailed assignment of most of the observed frequencies has been proposed on the basis of the group vibrational concept, isotopic shift data and analogies with the spectra of related molecules. Some literature data have been discussed and some frequencies are reassigned.     

Theoretical study of anharmonic force field and spectroscopic constants for 1-chlorophosphaethene,CH2PCl and CD2PCl

The anharmonic force field and spectroscopy constants for CH₂PCl are determined using CCSD(T), VPT2, and density functional theory employing cc-pVQZ basis sets. The molecule structure, rotational spectroscopic constants, and vibrational wave numbers are compared with the available experimental data. Anharmonicity constants, vibration-rotation interaction constants and cubic force constants are predicted. Vibrational wave numbers and rotational constants for CD₂PCl are also determined using the same levels. The isotopic shifts of vibrational wave numbers are remarkable by D atom substitution for 1-chlorophosphaethene.     

Synthesis and Cellular Labeling of Caged Phosphatidylinositol Derivatives

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is the biosynthetic precursor for seven phosphoinositides, important signaling lipids in cells. A membrane-permeant caged PI derivative featuring a photo-removable coumarinyl group masking the negative charge of the phosphate, as well as two enzymatically removable butyrate esters for increased lipophilicity and for preventing phosphate migration, were synthesized. Rapid cell entry and cellular labeling in fixed cells was demonstrated by a photo-cross-linkable diazirine followed by attachment of a fluorophore through click chemistry. Using this technique, we found that the multifunctional caged PI derivative resided predominantly at internal membranes but rapidly changed to the plasma membrane after uncaging. Accordingly, a preliminary proteomic analysis of the lipid–protein conjugates revealed that the two major PI transport proteins PITPα and β were prime targets of the photo-cross-linked PI derivative.     

Enhanced Sensitivity to Local Dynamics in Peptides by Use of Temperature-Jump IR Spectroscopy and Isotope Labeling

Site-specific isotopic labeling of molecules is a widely used approach in IR spectroscopy to resolve local contributions to vibrational modes. The induced frequency shift of the corresponding IR band depends on the substituted masses, as well as on hydrogen bonding and vibrational coupling. The impact of these different factors was analyzed with a designed three-stranded β-sheet peptide and by use of selected ¹³C isotope substitutions at multiple positions in the peptide backbone. Single-strand labels give rise to isotopically shifted bands at different frequencies, depending on the specific sites; this demonstrates sensitivity to the local environment. Cross-strand double- and triple-labeled peptides exhibited two resolved bands that could be uniquely assigned to specific residues, the equilibrium IR spectra of which indicated only weak local-mode coupling. Temperature-jump IR laser spectroscopy was applied to monitor structural dynamics and revealed an impressive enhancement of the isotope sensitivity to both local positions and coupling between them, relative to that of equilibrium FTIR spectroscopy. Site-specific relaxation rates were altered upon the introduction of additional cross-strand isotopes. Likewise, the rates for the global β-sheet dynamics were affected in a manner dependent on the distinct relaxation behavior of the labeled oscillator. This study reveals that isotope labels provide not only local structural probes, but rather sense the dynamic complexity of the molecular environment.
