The electron impact fragmentation of 3- and 4-styrylpyridazine

The electron impact mass spectrometric fragmentation of trans-3- and trans-4-styrylpyridazine is reported in detail, including a comparison with other aza-stilbenes. With regard to a distinction between the two isomeric styrylpyridazines, the intensity ratio of the M⁺ and [M-1]⁺ ions, the general degree of fragmentation and the elimination pathways of nitrogen proved to be most characteristic.     

Arsenic biomethylation by the microorganism apiotrichum humicola in the presence of l-methionine-methyl-d3

The microorganism Apiotrichum humicola (previously known as Candida humicola) grown in the presence of either arsenate, arsenite, methylarsonic acid or dimethylarsinic acid, produces arsenic-containing metabolites in the growth medium. When L-methionine-methyl-d₃ is added to the cultures, the CD₃ label is incorporated intact into the metabolites to a considerable extent to form deuterated dimethylarsenic and trimethyl-arsenic species, indicating that S-adenosylmethionine, or some related sulphonium compound, is involved in the biological methylation. Conclusive evidence of CD₃ incorporation in the arsenicals found in the growth medium was provided by using a specially developed hydride generation-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system (HG–GC–MS).

Cyclisierungen unter beteiligung von fluoridionen. 2. Mitteil. [1], [2]. 4.5-perfluor-1.3-dioxolane

4.5-Perfluoro-1.3-dioxolanes $\text{2}$ are available by reaction of 2(α-chloroalkoxy)perfluoro-carbonyl halides $\text{3}$ or -ketone $\text{9}$ with fluoride ions. A mechanism for the intramolecular ring- closure-reaction is proposed. Hydrogen atoms at C-2 in $\text{2}$ can be exchanged photochemically by chlorine. Starting from the 2-monochloro-derivatives $\text{16}$ the 2-monofluoro-4.5-perfluoro- 1.3-dioxolanes $\text{18}$ are formed by reaction with triethylamine- hydrofluoride.     

Immunosensor for estrone with an equal limit of detection as common analytical methods

Immunoanalytical methods at a very low limit of detection (LOD) and a low limit of quantification (LOQ) are becoming more and more important for environmental analysis and especially for monitoring drinking water quality. Biosensors have suitable characteristics such as efficiency in allowing very fast, sensitive, and cost-effective detection. Here we describe a fully automated immunoassay for estrone with a LOD below 0.20 ng L^–1 and a LOQ below 1.40 ng L^–1. In contrast to common analytical methods such as GC-MS or HPLC-MS, the biosensor used requires no sample pre-treatment and pre-concentration. The basis of our sensitive assay is the antibody with a high affinity constant towards estrone. The very low amount of antibody per sample results in low validation parameters (LOD, LOQ, and IC50), but this assay for estrone represents the current device-related limitation of the River Analyser (RIANA).     

Singularity in the thermal boundary resistance between superfluid (4)He and a solid surface

We report new measurements in four cells of the thermal boundary resistance R between copper and (4)He below but near the superfluid-transition temperature T(lambda). For 10(-7)< or =t identical to 1-T/T(lambda))< or =10(-4) fits of R = R(0)t(-x(b))+R(B) to the data yielded x(b) approximately equal to 0.18, whereas a fit to theoretical values based on the renormalization-group theory yielded x(b) = 0.23. Alternatively, a good fit of the theory to the data could be obtained if the amplitude of the prediction was reduced by a factor close to 2. The results raise the question whether the boundary conditions used in the theory should be modified.     

Reorientation of the large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection

We present measurements of the orientation theta0(t) of the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in cylindrical cells of aspect ratio 1. Theta0(t) undergoes irregular reorientations. It contains reorientation events by rotation through angles delta theta with a monotonically decreasing probability distribution p(delta theta), and by cessations (where the LSC stops temporarily) with a uniform p(delta theta). Reorientations have Poissonian statistics in time. The amplitude of the LSC and the magnitude of the azimuthal rotation rate have a negative correlation.     

Plume motion and large-scale circulation in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard cell

We used the time correlation of shadowgraph images to determine the angle Theta of the horizontal component of the plume velocity above (below) the center of the bottom (top) plate of a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard cell of aspect ratio Gamma identical with D/L=1 (D is the diameter and L approximately 87 mm is the height) in the Rayleigh-number range 7 x 10(7)相似文献
