On the heterogeneity of125I-labelled proteins used as tracers in radioimmunoassay

The distribution of mono- poly- and unlabelled protein molecules in the radiolabelling mixture was calculated from probability point of view as a function of the radioiodine/protein ratio.     

The Nappi-Witten string in the light-cone gauge

Some of the motivations for as well as the main points of the quantization of the Nappi-Witten string in the light-cone gauge are reviewed.     

Structure of norbornene-fused 3,1-oxazine double cycloadducts

Pentacyclic isoxazolines were obtained by the cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxide to norbornene-azetidinone-fused 3,1-oxazines. The constitutions of two of the isomers obtained, and the configurations and conformations of all products, were determined by means of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and DNOE experiments.     

Mass spectrometric study of some cycloalkane/ene-condensed 2-thioxo-2935556-pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones and cycloalkane/ene-condensed [l,3] thwzino [3,2-a]-pyrimidinones under electron impact

The mass spectra of four cycloalkane/ene cis- and trans-condensed 2-thioxo-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-4(1H)-ones and the corresponding cycloalkane/ene cis- and trans-condensed [l,3]thiazino[3,2-a]pyrimidinones were measured. Fragmentation pathways were confirmed by metastable ion analyses and exact mass measurements. The bicyclic isomers were easy to distinguish from each other, whereas the corresponding tricyclic isomeric adducts gave fairly similar mass spectra, owing to their favoured reiro-Diels- Alder fragmentations accompanied by the migration of one or two hydrogen atoms.     

On tolerance lattices of algebras in congruence modular varieties

We prove that the tolerance lattice TolA of an algebra A from a congruence modular variety V is 0-1 modular and satisfies the general disjointness property. If V is congruence distributive, then the lattice Tol A is pseudocomplemented. If V admits a majority term, then Tol A is 0-modular. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
