Resolvability properties via independent families

The authors give a consistent affirmative response to a question of Juhász, Soukup and Szentmiklóssy: If GCH fails, there are (many) extraresolvable, not maximally resolvable Tychonoff spaces. They show also in ZFC that for ω<λ?κ, no maximal λ-independent family of λ-partitions of κ is ω-resolvable. In topological language, that theorem translates to this: A dense, ω-resolvable subset of a space of the form (DI(λ)) is λ-resolvable.

New Temperature Integral Approximate Formula for Non-isothermal Kinetic Analysis

A new approximate formula for temperature integral is proposed. The linear dependence of the new fomula on x has been established. Combining this linear dependence and integration-by-parts, new equation for the evaluation of kinetic parameters has been obtained from the above dependence. The validity of this equation has been tested with data from numerical calculating. And its deviation from the values calculated by Simpson's numerical integrating was discussed. Compared with several published approximate formulae, this new one is much superior to all other approximations and is the most suitable solution for the evaluation of kinetic parameters from TG experiments. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Approximate formulae for calculation of the integral òT0Tmexp(-E/RT)dT

Summary In this paper two approximate formulae have been developed for calculation of the integral ò^T₀T^mexp(-E/RT)dT by using integration-by-parts approaches. They are in the following forms: I(m,T) = (RT^m+2)/(E+(m+2)RT)exp(-E/RT) I(m,T) = (RT^m+2)/(E+(m+2)(0.00099441E+0.93695599RT)exp(-E/RT) The validity of the two formulae has been confirmed and their accuracies have been tested with data from numerical calculating. In contrast to existing other integral methods, both the present approaches are simply used, accurate, and can be used for arbitrary values of m.

Complexation of 1,3-Diamino-2-hydroxypropane- N,N , N ', N '-tetraacetic Acid (DHPTA) with Heavy Lanthanides (Tb 3+ , Ho 3+ , Lu 3+ ) in Aqueous Solution

Thermodynamic equilibria of complexes of 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (DHPTA) with heavy lanthanides (Tb3+, Ho3+ and Lu3+) in aqueous solution have been investigated with potentiometry, spectrophotometry, luminescence spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The results identified three 1:1 Ln/DHPTA (Ln: Tb3+, Ho3+ and Lu3+) complexes with different degrees of deprotonation, LnL−, Ln(H−1L)2−, and Ln(OH)(H−1L)3−, where H−1 represents the deprotonation of the hydroxyl group between two methyliminodiacetate groups in the DHPTA structure. The alkoxide form of the DHPTA hydroxyl group directly binds to the lanthanide atom, forming highly strong chelation. The complex of Ln(H−1L)2− could be present as a dimeric or polymeric complex in solution.     

Flavonoid compounds and antibacterial mechanisms of different parts of white guava (Psidium guajava L. cv. Pearl)

Abstract

The flavonoid compositions, extracted from leaves, peel and flesh of white guava (Psidium guajava L. cv. Pearl), were identified and quantified by UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS, HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and HPLC. The main components of three extracts all were quercetin-glycosides, but the proportion and content of quercetin-hexoside and quercetin-pentoside in each extract were different. Based on the measurements of MIC, MBC value and time killing curve, it emerged that 3 flavonoid extracts of white guava had good antibacterial effects on four pathogenic bacteria. White guava leaves flavonoids (WGLF) concentrations of 5.00?mg/mL and 0.625?mg/mL could change the micro-morphology of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. It suggested that the antibacterial mechanism of WGLF on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria was to destroy the structure and function of the cell membrane. It is indicated that the flavonoid extracts from white guava is a potential natural antimicrobial agent.     

Mechanism of thermal decomposition of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate

The thermal decomposition of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate (Co(CH₃COO)₂ · 4H₂O) has been studied via thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, in situ X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results of TG and XRD showed that the parent salt melted and then the dissolved crystalline water was vaporized in two steps. The dehydration process was followed by a major step concerning the decomposition of the acetate group, leading to basic acetate as an intermediate, which then produced CoO and Co in N₂ and H₂ atmosphere, respectively. Three decomposition intermediates Co(CH₃COO)₂ · 0.5H₂O, Co(CH₃COO)₂, and Co(OH)(CH₃COO) were presumed. In situ XRD experiments revealed that the intermediate basic acetate was poorly crystallized or even amorphous. Evolved gases analysis indicated that the volatile products of acetate decomposition were water vapor, acetic acid, ethylenone, acetone, and CO₂. A detailed thermal decomposition mechanism of Co(CH₃COO)₂ · 4H₂O was discussed.
