We report on the status of the LPCTrap experiment, devoted to measure the β–ν angular correlation in the pure Gamow–Teller
decay of 6He. This measurement is motivated by the search for the presence of tensor type contributions to the weak interaction. The
6He ions are confined in a novel transparent Paul trap. The β particles and the recoil ions are detected in coincidence to
deduce the angular correlation parameter. The commissioning run performed in 2005 has given the proof of principle of this
experiment. Up to 105 coincidences were recorded during a second run in 2006. 相似文献
Starting from the formalism for alpha decay presented by Jackson and Rhoades-Brown /4/ and adapted for the decay of deformed
nuclei by Berggren and Olanders /3/, we calculate half-lives and anisotropies in the alpha decay of oriented odd-mass At isotopes.
The earlier results for harmonic oscillator models are compared to results for a Woods-Saxon model. 相似文献
When α-halo sulfides are reacted with ambident 2-pyrimidinones, the major product is due to N-alkylation, the minor product to O-alkylation. N-Alkylation is favoured by the presence of a tertiary amine in a solvent of low dielectric constant and also by a change of the α-halo sulfide substituent from chlorine to iodine. Complete selectivity can be achieved. The course of the reaction is rationalized in terms of the HSAB-principle. 相似文献
Compatibility studies between active drugs and excipients are substantial in the pharmaceutical technology. The objective
of the present work was to develop pre-formulated mixtures of metronidazole (MT) obtained by spray drying (SPDR) and their
thermoanalytical characterization. Dynamic and isothermal TG, conventional DSC and DSC coupled to a photovisual system were
used. DSC experiments with both techniques confirmed the homogeneity of the conventional and pre-formulated mixtures. The
TG data made possible the comparison the thermal stability of the different mixtures. Similar thermal stabilities were found
of the conventional and pre-formulated mixtures, with slower particles sizes of MT. 相似文献
Tissue furnish optimization plays a key role in enhancing tissue properties, making the process cost-effective. Typically, this furnish is composed of a mixture of hardwood eucalyptus fibers (HW) and softwood (SW) fibers, which ensure strength and tissue machine runnability. However, the tissue paper production with the maximization of eucalyptus fibers achieves softer papers at less cost, since SW fibers are often more expensive than HW fibers. From this perspective, this study aims to investigate the effect of micro/nano-fibrillated cellulose (MFC/NFC) as an additive, on structural, softness, strength, and water absorption properties of tissue papers, promoting partial or total removal of SW fibers to produce 100% eucalyptus materials. MFC/NFC was characterized in terms of morphological, chemical, and water interaction properties. The results showed that MFC/NFC presents a high bonding surface area, high carboxyl group content and, when incorporated into tissue furnishes, it promotes strong inter-fiber bonds. This evidence was also supported by SEM image analysis methods and FTIR. Additionally, laboratory tissue handsheets with low basis weight were produced and used in the characterization assays. Overall, the results indicated that MFC/NFC improved strength, at the expense of bulk, porosity, softness, and absorption properties. Compared to typical industrial furnish mixtures (75%HW?+?25%SW), MFC/NFC enhanced the production of bulkier, porous, and softer structures, but with reduced strength and absorption. It was possible to optimize the furnish composition by using fiber modeling to obtain 3D structure computation simulations with predictive capability. The MFC/NFC proved to be a high-quality additive to improve softness and strength properties.
Head-space sampling (HS) has been combined with enantioselective gas chromatography (GC) for the analysis of chiral and non-chiral monoterpenes present in the cortical tissues of five different Norway spruce clones. (1S)-(-)-alpha-Pinene, (1S,5S)-(-)sabinene, (1S)-(-)-beta-pinene, and (4S)-(-)limonene dominated over (1R)-(+)-alpha-pinene, (1R,5R)-(+)-sabinene, (1R)-(+)-beta-pinene, and (4R)-(+)-limonene. Results showed a large variation in the enantiomeric composition of cortical tissues between different clones. The development of HS-GC greatly increased the speed of precise analyses of chiral monoterpenes in small samples and therefore offer excellent opportunities in studies on the ecophysiological and chemotaxomic roles of these chiral components. 相似文献
