Sampling and local models for multivariate image analysis

Local models are a very important concept for microscopic and macroscopic imaging. Different methods of sub-sampling a multivariate image are described both in general and for three examples. The need for sub-sampling and its influence on multivariate image analysis and visualization are studied. Examples from MRI (256 × 256), satellite imaging (7 × 512 × 512) and biofuel studies (6 × 512 × 512) are used to illustrate some of the principles involved.     

Synthesis and characterisation of bis(pentafluorophenyl)antimony(V) cations, [(C6F5)2SbL3]

Pentacoordinate complex cations of the general formula [(C₆F₅)₂SbL₃]³⁺ stabilized as solid salts in combination with tetraphenylborate (BPh₄), tetrafluorobroate (BF₄) anions, where L=DMSO, Ph₃AsO, PyO, DMF, α-, β- and γ-picoline have been isolated. The newly formed complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, solid-state IR and and NMR. From these results, a five-fold coordination around antimony was required.     

SiO2包覆纳米CaCO3的透射电镜表征

在透射电子显微镜（TEM）电子衍射模式下，用适当孔径的物镜光阑选择非晶态SiO2的衍射区域，拍摄以溶胶一凝胶法制备的SiO2包覆纳米CaCO3的暗场像。与未经包覆SiO2的纳米CaCO3的暗场像作对比，可以看出经过SiO2包覆的纳米CaCO3粒子周围有一白色亮环，从而得到SiO3包覆层的暗场照片。用高分辨方法观察了包覆层与CaCO3粒子间的界面情况。     

溴碘化银薄片乳剂颗粒中碘离子分布对潜影分散的影响

碘溴化银乳剂薄片颗粒的潜影分散与碘离子在颗粒中的分布有关。本文用交叉光楔曝光技术测定了由次潜影造成的潜影分散,并根据所测出的潜影分散度和乳剂的表面感光度,对内、表敏的分布作了分析。结果表明,碘离子分布在颗粒边缘的乳剂,其表面潜影分散度要比碘离子均匀分布的颗粒更甚,后者且表现出内、表敏度竞争的现象。

Low-level radiometric detection in LC using solvent segmentation and an effluent storage loop

Summary In this study a new approach is presented for on-line radiometric detection in reversed phase LC of medium to low polarity compounds labelled with¹⁴C. The test compounds,¹⁴C-carbaryl and¹⁴C-parathion, are extracted post-column into a non-water miscible liquid scintillation cocktail. The segmented two-phase system formed is introduced into the beta-detector without phase separation and collected in a capillary storage tube. After completion of the LC separation and detection process, the direction of the flow in the storage system is reversed and the segmented contents of the loop led at lower flow-rates through the beta-detector again. An enhanced signal, corresponding to the increase in counting time is obtained without measurable peak broadening. The lowest possible detection limit of the system is 9 counts per peak corresponding to subnanogram quantities of tested pesticides. Calibration curves are linear over at least 2 orders of magnitude and have the expected theoretical slopes. The reproducibility of the system is better than 4 % rel. S.D. An application to a recovery study of parathion shows the practical potential of this technique. Presented at the 15th International Symposium on Chromatography, Nürnberg, October 1984     

The regioselectivity of the formation of 2-pyrazolylthiazoles and their precursors from the reaction of 2-hydrazinothiazoles with 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-hetaryl-1,3-butanediones

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.     

Antibody synthesis induced by endogenous internal images

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.
