On the Structure of the Spectra for a Class of Combustion Waves

The stability of a premixed laminar flame supported by a general combustion reaction system is considered using the Evans function method. The spectrum of the linearised second-order differential operator is investigated in detail. The special structure of the differential equations due to an Arrhenius temperature dependence is exploited. It is shown that, for certain combustion systems, the limit of the Jacobian of the reaction terms as the travelling wave coordinate approaches the front and rear of the flame is a lower triangular matrix. For this type of system a simple geometrical method is shown for the study of the essential spectrum of the linearised operator, and for determining the domain of the Evans function. The results are applied to some representative combustion reactions.

A multireference configuration interaction method based on the separated electron pair wave functions

A multireference configurational interaction method based on the separated electron pair (SEP) wave functions, SEP‐CI approach, has been developed as an approximation to the traditional CASSCF method. It differs from the CASSCF method in that active orbitals are obtained from the SEP wave function without further optimization in the subsequent CI calculations, and the active space is automatically constructed according to the occupation coefficients of SEP natural orbitals. These features make the present SEP‐CI method computationally much less demanding than the CASSCF method. The applicability of the SEP‐CI method is illustrated with sample calculations on the insertion reaction of BeH₂ and dissociation energies of LiH, BH, FH, H₂O, and N₂. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Semi‐classical formulation of time‐dependent discrete variable representation method

In this article, we apply a novel time‐dependent discrete variable representation (TDDVR) method proposed by Barkakaty and Adhikari to investigate tunneling through an Eckart barrier. This semi‐classical method is theoretically rigorous and straightforward to implement. Among the TDDVR formulations, this report presents the first derivation of a rigorous form of quantum force (QF) for the present perspective. The validity of this semi‐classical approach is demanded based on the excellent agreement of the tunneling probability with the corresponding quantum results. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of BHT in the presence of surfactants using a cellulose acetate coated electrode and square wave voltammetry

A direct voltammetric method for the rapid determination of butylated hydroxytoluene has been developed. The procedure utilizes a hydrolyzed cellulose acetate film in intimate contact with a glassy carbon electrode and square wave voltammetry. The coated electrode prevents passivation due to adsorption of polymeric oxidation products by way of a size exclusion principle. BHT solutions containing lipid-like surfactants can be analyzed without the need for frequent resurfacing of the electrode.     

聚苯胺修饰超微盘电极上镉(Ⅱ)的表面络合吸附波

用直径7 μm的碳纤维组合成超微圆盘电极,以聚苯胺修饰电级.以阶梯扫描法、循环伏安法、双阶跃计时电量法和交流阻抗法等,研究了Cd2＋在该电极上的表面络合吸附特性和电极过程.在循环伏安图上出现两个还原峰,实验和理论都证明,由于电极表面的聚苯胺对Cd2＋的特性吸附,形成电活性的表面吸附态络合物.因此,这种表面络合物首先被还原,形成峰电位－0.90 V处的表面络合吸附波,还原峰电位比Cd2＋直接还原电位（－0.98 V）正移,循环反扫时,氧化波无峰形.根据实验数据推测了电极过程的反应机理,证实该还原波具有扩散和表面反应同时控制的表面络合吸附波的特性.理论计算与实验基本一致,并求得了表面吸附态配合物的形成常数、吸附量和表面络合反应的动力学参数.实验还证实,在峰电位－1.06 V 处的还原波,是Cd2＋的表面吸附还原态诱导而产生的催化氢波.     

Determination of Azidothymidine – an Antiproliferative and Virostatic Drug by Square‐Wave Voltammetry

The 3′‐azido‐3′‐deoxythymidine (AZT, Zidovudine) is an antiproliferative and virostatic drug widely used in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) infection treatment. With respect to side effects of high doses and a short half‐life of AZT, a fast and simple detection method for this agent could be helpful. The aim of our study was to determine AZT levels in natural samples (urine, serum, whole blood, and cell cultures, such as the HaCaT line of keratinocytes) without their mineralization and/or purification, by means of electrochemical methods using hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). On this electrode, AZT undergoes irreversible reduction at the peak potential near E_p?1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl). Reduction AZT signals were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), square‐wave voltammetry (SWV), and constant current chronopotentiometric stripping analysis (CPSA). In phosphate buffer (pH 8) the SWV yielded the best AZT signal with the detection limit of 1 nM. The determination of AZT concentration in biological materials is affected by electroactive components, such as proteins and DNA. For monitoring the influence of these compounds, AZT reduction was performed in the presence of 10 μg/mL calf thymus ssDNA and/or 100 μg/mL bovine serum albumin. In these cases, the detection limit increased to 0.25 μM. Also studied was the AZT concentration in keratinocyte cells (HaCaT line) during cell cultivation. It has been shown that the SWV may be considered as a useful tool for the determination of AZT concentration in cell cultures, and for monitoring AZT pharmacokinetics.     

A new study of the enzymatic hydrolysis of carboxymethyl cellulose with a bulk acoustic wave sensor

A new bulk acoustic wave (BAW) cellulase sensing technique, which is based on the enzymatic hydrolysis process of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) by cellulase, was established. The frequency shift curves of BAW sensor indicated that the viscosity of the tested solutions decreased during the hydrolysis process. The hydrolysis rate of CMC by cellulase was calculated from the frequency shift curves. The hydrolysis rate of CMC under different pH conditions at 30°C showed that cellulase had high hydrolysis ability approximately at pH 5.0. Kinetic parameters (the Michaelis constant K_m and the maximum rate V_max) of the process were estimated by using a linear method of Lineweaver–Burk plot. K_m is 1.95±0.25 mg ml⁻¹ and V_max is −(4.25±0.58)×10⁻³ g^1/2 cm^−3/2 cP^1/2 min⁻¹. Also the activation energy (E_a) of the enzymatic hydrolysis, with a value of 51.99±1.26 kJ mol⁻¹, was estimated in this work.
