Combined study of thermochemical properties of nitroform and its salts

A combined method for determination of the standard enthalpies of formation of nitroform and its salts was proposed. The enthalpies of dissolution of nitroform and its ammonium, hydrazinium, guanidinium, and potassium salts in water were measured. The enthalpy of combustion of hydrazinium salt of nitroform was determined by a combustion calorimetry, and its standard enthalpy of formation was calculated. The enthalpy of formation of trinitromethyl anion in indefinitely diluted aqueous solution −24.94±0.79 kJ mol⁻¹, was calculated on the basic of the data obtained for enthalpies of formation and dissolution of ammonium and hydrazinium salts of nitroform. Standard enthalpies of formation of nitroform and its salts were calculated. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2451–2454, December, 1998.     

Enthalpies of aqueous solution of noble gases at 25°C

The standard enthalpies of solution of rare gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in water at 25°C have been measured by a high precision steady-state calorimetric method. The aqueous solvation process is energetically favorable at 25°C for the gases studied. Values of the standard free energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes are found to be well correlated with cavity surface areas and the number of water molecules in the first solvation shell. Also, the values of the standard enthalpy and entropy of solution for the rare gases are found to have the same dependence on the number of solvation shell water molecules as inorganic and hydrocarbon gases. These results imply that the dominant source of enthalpy and entropy change resides in the first solvation shell.     

A new electrolytic dissolution of aluminum alloys and determination of some constituents by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry

The new electrolytic dissolution in batch of aluminum alloys samples as grains or turns and the determination of Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Cr, Ni, Zn, Pb and Ti by ICP OES was investigated. In on-line electrodissolution procedures described in the literature, samples were restricted to be in the form of solid blocks or plates with one polished flat face. Here, the sample was loaded in the barrel of a modified disposable syringe (the anodic semi-cell) and pressed with a modified plunger fitted with a platinum disk to establish electrical contact with the analyte. This arrangement was introduced in a beaker containing the electrolyte (1 mol L⁻¹ HNO₃) and a platinum wire as the cathode. The resulting solution from electrodissolution (0.6 A) was used for the ICP OES determinations. The influence of the aluminum concentration increase on the determination of the elements was evaluated. Electrodissolution of certified reference materials and commercial samples revealed relative errors lower than 10% for the elements Fe, Cu, Mg, Ni, Cr, Zn and Ti (when their content is above 0.1%). Higher inaccuracies (>10%) were observed for Mn and for Fe in B.C.S. 268/1 reference material certified. The proposed method presented a relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) lower or circa 10% to all of the elements (except Pb). In comparison with traditional acid dissolution, the proposed electrodissolution method is relatively fast (about 30 min), it is clean (there is no projection of solution) and simple (heating and fumes exhaust system were not necessaries).

Enhancement of Oral Bioavailability of Rofecoxib Using β-Cyclodextrin

The purpose of the present work was to investigate the effect ofcomplexation of rofecoxib with -cyclodextrin on its dissolutioncharacteristics and bioavailability. Inclusion complexes of rofecoxibwith -cyclodextrin were made by freeze-drying technique. Phasesolubility studies were conducted as suggested by Higuchi and Connors.The samples were characterized by performing dissolution studies, X-rayDiffraction studies and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The complexeswere compressed into tablets and compared in-vitro with various marketedformulations. A single dose study on healthy human volunteers was performedin comparison with a marketed formulation of rofecoxib (without-cyclodextrin) to investigate the relative bioavailability.Phase solubility studies confirmed the formation of a 1 : 1complex in solution of rofecoxib with -cyclodextrin. Tablets ofsolid inclusion complexes of rofecoxib with -cyclodextrin preparedby freeze drying technique showed enhanced dissolution rate in distilledwater in comparison with all the marketed formulations analyzed. This isattributed to the increased solubility and wettability along with decreasedcrystallinity caused by complex formation, which is confirmed, by XRD and DSCstudies. The bioequivalence studies performed showed statistically significantenhancement in bioavailability as compared to the marketed formulation.Apparently, tablets containing complexes of rofecoxib with -cyclodextrinshows faster onset of action due to improved solubility, enhanced dissolutionand faster absorption of the molecule. The results of this investigation withrofecoxib in -cyclodextrin lend ample credence to its better oralbioavailability on complexation.     

The kinetics of zinc dissolution in nitric acid

The dissolution of zinc in 0.48–1.49M HNO₃ was studied at 15–25°C, by following simultaneously the concentration changes of the reactants (Zn and HNO₃), intermediate (HNO₂) and product (Zn²⁺) with time. Explicit mechanisms were suggested for the dissolution of zinc in nitric acid. The kinetics of the dissolution process show that it is of the first-order with respect to [Zn] and [HNO₂]. The data obtained show that the dissolution process is diffusion-controlled. The mechanism of zinc dissolution is compared with the mechanism of copper dissolution.

Es wird ein Mechanismus vorgeschlagen. Die Kinetik der Auflösung ist erster Ordnung bezüglich [Zn] und [HNO₂]. Die Daten zeigen, daß der Auflösungsvorgang diffusionskontrolliert ist. Der Mechanismus der Auflösung von Zink wird mit dem der Kupferauflösung verglichen.

     

我国陪审制度透视

陪审制度是吸纳社会公众参与审判、分享审判权的司法制度，是我国司法制度的一项重要内容。但由于我国陪审制度本身存在的诸如缺乏法律依据、适用范围不明确等问题，现代的陪审制在司法改革的背景下正处于低谷。为了更好地发挥陪审制的作用，促进司法公正，必须对立法依据、适用范围等问题加以完善。     

比例原则在行政裁量行为司法审查中的适用

我国现行法律条款对行政裁量行为的司法审查存在难以把握、不易操作的缺陷。行政法基本原则是行政法的精髓所在，是行政法规范的核心、灵魂，作为行政法基本原则之一的比例原则，在行政审判中可以直接作为判案依据。运用比例原则中的适当性、必要性、比例性三个子原则来对行政裁量行为进行司法审查较为直观、可行。
