Methods for metal preconcentration are often described in the literature. However, purposes are often different, depending
on whether the methods are applied in environmental, clinical or technological fields. The respective method needs to be efficient,
give high sensitivity, and ideally also is selective which is useful when used in combination with atomic spectroscopy. This
review presents the actual tendencies in metal preconcentration using techniques such as Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(FAAS), Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (ETAAS), Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (HGAAS),
Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Procedures based on related to electrochemical, coprecipitation/precipitation, liquid–liquid and solid–liquid extraction and
atom trapping mechanisms are presented.

We show that, when numerically integrating Hamiltonian problems, nondissipative numerical methods do not in general share the advantages possessed by symplectic integrators. Here a numerical method is called nondissipative if, when applied with a small stepsize to the test equationdy/dt = iy, real, has amplification factors of unit modulus. We construct a fourth order, nondissipative, explicit Runge-Kutta-Nyström procedure with small error constants. Numerical experiments show that this scheme does not perform efficiently in the numerical integration of Hamiltonian problems.This research has been supported by project DGICYT PB92-254. 相似文献
Reaction of 2-hydrazinothiazoles 1 with 1-thienyl- and 1-furyl-1,3-butanediones 2a,b in methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid mainly leads to a mixture of pyrazoles 3 and pyrazolines 4 or pyrazoles 3 and 5 in strong acidic conditions. Isomeric hydrazones 6 and pyrazolines 4 were formed and isolated in these reactions in the absence of hydrochloric acid. It has been shown that the regioselectivity in the reaction of diketones 2 with hydrazine 1 is governed by both the concentration of acid and the nature of substituents in the 1,3-diketones 2. Cyclization of hydrazones 6 is shown to occur under milder conditions than dehydration for pyrazolines 4. The new heterocyclic compounds were prepared and fully characterized by NMR spectra and by X-ray analysis for 3c. 相似文献
Owing to their particular crystallographic properties, ferrimagnetic hexagonal ferrites exhibit a far greater coercive force than the conventional magnetic pigments. They therefore appear to be suitable for use in magnetic information storage procedures, some of which are novel and are at the development stage. Thus, magnetic tapes of high coercive force containing barium ferrite could be used as master tapes for copying magnetic information or for producing forgery-proof magnetic cards, if magnetic heads having high-order write fields were successfully developed. Moreover, platelet-like ferrite pigments in which the preferred direction of magnetic orientation is perpendicular to the plane of the platelet are of great interest for perpendicular magnetic recording. In this progress report, the crystal structures, magnetic characteristics of hexagonal ferrites, and chemical processes for their production are discussed. In particular, reactions in salt melts or under hydrothermal conditions produce finely divided pigments whose particles have a pronounced hexagonal, plate-like habit, a narrow particle size distribution, and advantageous magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of the pigments crystallized from salt melts may be adjusted by cation exchange. 相似文献
It is shown that the Galerkin-Petrov method if applied in a controlled way yields reliable results for excited states of the
same symmetry classifications as the ground state. Computations are performed for the 21S and 31S states of He. The problem of optimizing nonlinear parameters of the basis functions by means of the GP method is discussed.
A special optimization scheme is suggested and numerically illustrated for someS states of He. 相似文献
In the present work, 11 different procedures for protein and metalloprotein extraction from horse chestnuts (Aescullus hippocastanum L.) in natura were tested. After each extraction, total protein was determined and, after protein separation through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), those metals belonging to the protein structure were mapped by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF). After mapping the elements (Cr, Fe and Mn) in the protein bands (ca. 33 and 23.7 kDa), their concentrations were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS).
Good results were obtained for protein extraction using a combination of grinding and sonication. However, this strategy was not suitable to preserve metal ions in the protein structure. In fact, there was 42% decrease on Mn concentration using this procedure, compared to that performed with sample agitation in water (taken as reference). On the other hand, when grinding and agitation with an extracting buffer was used, there was a 530% increase of Mn concentration, when compared to the reference procedure.
These results indicate agreement between metal identification and determination in proteins as well as the great influence of the extraction procedure (i.e., the sample preparation step) for preserving metals in the protein structures. 相似文献
In this study, immunization with a vaccine consisting of multiple F(abt’)2 fragments of affinity-purified antitetanus toxoid antibodies covalently bound to a carrier protein successfully induced antitetanus
toxoid antibodies. Further studies showed that this vaccine preparation contained no biologically detectable tetanus antigen.
The induced antitetanus antibody (Ab1t’) titer was higher than the titer of antibodies binding control antigens. The immunizing
F(abt’)2 preparation did not elicit a secondary antitetanus response from mice primed with tetanus toxoid and, hence, appeared free
of tetanus epitopes. The specificity of Ab1t’ was established by absorption and inhibition with antigen. Immunization with
antitetanus F(abt’)2 (Ab1t’) fragments appears to have elicited naturally occurring autologous antitetanus toxoid antibody (Ab1t’) through an
idiotypic pathway. As predicted by network theory, anti-idiotype (Ab2) and antitetanus (Ab1t’) cycled reciprocally. Clonotypic
characterization of Ab1t’ using isoelectric focusing and affinity immunoblotting showed increases in Ab1t’ titer to be the
result of increased synthesis by limited subsets of antitetanus toxoid B-cell clones and not increased synthesis by multiple
clones, as is characteristic of antigen-driven Ab1 responses. Many Ab1 and Ab1t’ clonotypes had identical pIs, suggesting
that they either share V region genes or are the product of the same B-cell clones. These findings indicate that immunization
with polyclonal multivalent Ab1 preparations can trigger active synthesis of antibodies with the same specificity. The results
provide further evidence for naturally occurring idiotypic cascades that could be exploited for studies of catalytic antibodies. 相似文献
