Glass capillary gas chromatography of highly polar solutes like diols,acids and amines deactivation of fused silica and pretreated alkali glass support surfaces

Summary The method of support surface deactivation by PSD (alkylpolysiloxane degradation) at temperature between 300 and 450°C previously described was used to deactivate both fused silica and alkali glass surfaces of capillary columns. The latter surfaces had to be pretreated before deactivation with aqueous HCl leaching or by the dealkalisation method using flowing HCl gas at 450°C and subsequent rinsing with water for alkali removal. Excellent alkylpolysiloxane columns with regard to tailing and irreversible adsorption of highly polar solutes have been obtained on both fused silica and the pretreated alkali glass. Fused silica does not require pretreatment before deactivation by the PSD-method, however. Good polyethyleneglycol (Carbowax 20 M) columns can also be obtained by coating the two types of surfaces when no deactivation is necessary. Deactivation by the PSD method cannot be applied in this case because polar stationary liquids do not adhere to alkylpolysiloxane deactivated surfaces. Sample capacity problems arising when separating highly polar solutes with non-polar stationary phases have also been investigated.     

Study of the filter method for neutron pulse-height distributions measured with organic scintillators

Identification of neutron sources is of interest in several fields, such as homeland security or basic nuclear physics. Organic scintillators offer the possibility to unfold fast-neutron energy spectra. Since organic scintillators are sensitive to neutrons and gamma-rays, a method to discriminate these two types of particles is required. This paper is focused on investigation of the discrimination properties of the filter method by using a new procedure. We compare the results of an experimental filter method to a digital pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) method based on charge integration. In addition, these methods are compared to the simulation results obtained with the MCNPX-PoliMi code. The experimental and numerical investigations were performed with a ²⁵²Cf spontaneous-fission neutron source. The integration of the number of counts gave the relative differences between the experimental filter and digital PSD neutron pulse-height distributions (PHDs) and simulated PHDs less than approximately 5% in the range between 60 keVee and 1.715 MeVee of light output. Above 1.715 MeVee, the PSD method has advantages over the filter method, due to the filter method having significantly worse counting statistics. The results show that the filter method has potential for robust neutron measurements when the PSD method cannot be applied, such as for ‘old’ organic plastic scintillators without PSD capability.

Adsorption behavior of partially collapsed polyacrylate coils on mica surfaces: A reciprocal space approach

In this article, we investigate tapping mode atomic force microscopy images of intermediate states along the coil to globule transition of sodium polyacrylate coils containing Ca²⁺ as specifically binding ions. The structural correlations within single adsorbed molecules are established using power spectral density (PSD) curves. The PSD curves of several single molecules are averaged to give the so called 2D form factor so as to obtain information of higher statistical merit. A proper interpretation of the 2D form factor and comparison with form factor analysis of the very same sample solution available through small angle neutron scattering provides an alternative quantification of changes in conformation which a single polyacrylate molecule undergoes as it moves from 3D solution to 2D surface and is inevitably distorted in shape because of sample history. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tuning magnetic fingerprints of FeNi nanowire arrays by varying length and diameter

Magnetic nanowires (NWs) electrodeposited into solid templates are of high interest due to their tunable properties which are required for magnetic recording media and spintronic devices. Here, highly ordered arrays of FeNi NWs with varied lengths (ranging from 2.5 to 12 μm) and diameters (between 45 and 75 nm) were fabricated into anodic aluminum oxide templates using a pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. X-ray diffraction patterns along with energy dispersive spectroscopy indicated the formation of Fe₇₀Ni₃₀ NWs with fcc and bcc alloy phases, being highly textured along the bcc [110] direction. Magnetic properties were studied by hysteresis loop measurements at room temperature and they showed reductions in coercivity and squareness values by increasing length and diameter. Further, magnetic fingerprints of the NWs were characterized using the first-order reversal curve (FORC) analysis. FORC measurements revealed that, with increasing length and diameter from 2.5 to 10 μm and 45–55 nm, respectively, besides an increase in inter-wire magnetostatic interactions, a transition from a single domain (SD) state to a pseudo SD state occurred. Moreover, a multi-domain (MD) state was found for the longest length and diameter. While the irreversible magnetization component of the SD NWs was approximately 100%, the reversible component of MD NWs increased up to 20%.

Synthesis and MALDI-TOF MS Analysis of Protected Oligosaccharide Components of N-Glycoproteins

Essential components of N-glycoproteins were synthesized in octyl glycoside form starting from 3-O-allyl-D-glucose derivative. The β-mannosidic linkage was formed by the oxidation reduction method. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and its post-source decay (PSD) mode were used for identification and structural elucidation of protected synthetic oligosaccharides related to N-glycoproteins. Most fragments, identified in the PSD spectra, were products of the cleavage of glycosidic bonds.     

Convergence of minimum norm elements of projections and intersections of nested affine spaces in Hilbert space

We consider a Hilbert space, an orthogonal projection onto a closed subspace and a sequence of downwardly directed affine spaces. We give sufficient conditions for the projection of the intersection of the affine spaces into the closed subspace to be equal to the intersection of their projections. Under a closure assumption, one such (necessary and) sufficient condition is that summation and intersection commute between the orthogonal complement of the closed subspace, and the subspaces corresponding to the affine spaces. Another sufficient condition is that the cosines of the angles between the orthogonal complement of the closed subspace, and the subspaces corresponding to the affine spaces, be bounded away from one. Our results are then applied to a general infinite horizon, positive semi-definite, linear quadratic mathematical programming problem. Specifically, under suitable conditions, we show that optimal solutions exist and, modulo those feasible solutions with zero objective value, they are limits of optimal solutions to finite-dimensional truncations of the original problem.
