Asymptotic completeness for long-range many-particle systems with Stark effect. II

We prove the existence and the asymptotic completeness of the Dollard-type modified wave operators for many-particle Stark Hamiltonians with long-range potentials.     

Time-resolved photocurrent at the MoSe2—I− photoelectrode studied with a nanosecond pulsed laser

A time-resolved transient photocurrent in the nanosecond region when illuminating the MoSe₂ — I^? semiconductorliquid junction with a pulsed laser, consists of a rapid one which immediately follows the incident light pulse and of another one with a slower decay. From the dependence of the photocurrent on light intensity, bias voltage and the effective concentration of the electrolyte, the two observed components in the spectrum were explained to originate from charge-carrier generation in the solid and electron transfer across the electrode interface, respectively.     

A new electronic transition found for the aniline derivatives

From comparisons of the ultraviolet absorption spectra of aniline derivatives in the gas phase with those in solutions, it is here proposed that there is a transition from the ground state to a molecular Rydberg state between the first and second π-type transitions.     

Interference from electrostatic charges in the microdetermination of halogen and sulphur by the combustion method

Summary In the analysis of halogen and sulphur by the combustion method employing silver granules, electrostatic charges on the absorption funnel has been experimentally shown to cause inaccurate weighing of the funnel.An investigation of the influence of this phenomenon on blank values has been made, and possible countermeasures have been examined. By cooling the heated funnel in a desiccator saturated with moist air, the charges are removed and satisfactory analyses are obtained.

Zusammenfassung Bei der analytischen Bestimmung der Halogene und des Schwefels durch Verbrennung und Bindung an Silbergranellen verursachen, wie gezeigt werden konnte, elektrostatische Aufladungen der Absorptionsgefäße Wägefehler. Untersuchungen über den Einfluß dieser Erscheinung durch Bestimmung von Leerwerten wurden ausgeführt und die Möglichkeit von Gegenmaßnahmen geprüft. Durch Abkühlen der heißen Absorptionsgefäße in einem mit feuchter Luft gefüllten Exsiccator lassen sich die Aufladungen beheben und richtige Analysenergebnisse erzielen.

Résumé On a montré expérimentalement que dans l'analyse des halogènes et du soufre suivant la méthode de combustion avec granules d'argent, les charges électrostatiques sur le tube d'absorption étaient la cause d'une pesée inexacte de ce tube.On a fait une étude de l'influence de ce phénomène sur les valeurs à blanc et l'on a examiné la possibilité de mesures de l'éviter. En refroidissant le tube chauffé dans un dessicateur saturé d'air humide, on élimine les charges et l'on obtient des analyses satisfaisantes.

     

Improvements in the microdetermination of chlorine and bromine in organic compounds

Summary Schöniger's method for the microdetermination of halogen has been improved by using ammonium hydroxide solution as an absorbing solution instead of sodium hydroxide solution in order to simplify the after treatment. On boiling the absorbing solution, interfering ions can be removed together with excess ammonia. Ammonium halide which formes in the solution is titrated with AgNO₃ solution in the presence of an adsorption indicator. Satisfactory results are obtained more rapidly.

Zusammenfassung Um die Weiterbehandlung der Absorptionslösung bei der Mikrobestimmung der Halogene nachSchöniger zu vereinfachen, wurde an Stelle von Natronlauge Ammoniaklösung verwendet. Durch Kochen der Absorptionslösung können störende Ionen zugleich mit dem Ammoniaküberschuß entfernt werden. Das in der Lösung entstandene Ammoniumhalogenid wird mit Silbernitrat in Gegenwart eines Adsorptionsindikators titriert. Bei verkürzter Analysendauer werden zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse erzielt.

Résumé On a amélioré la méthode deSchöniger pour le microdosage des halogénes en utilisant une solution d'ammoniaque comme absorbant à la place de la solution d'hydroxyde de sodium afin de simplifier le traitement ultérieur. En faisant bouillir la solution d'absorption on peut éliminer les ions gênants avec de l'ammoniaque en excés. On titre l'halogénure d'ammonium qui se forme en solution, par une solution d'AgNO₃ en présence d'un indicateur d'adsorption. On a obtenu des résultats satisfaisants plus rapidement.

     

Preparation of red blood cell column for capillary electrochromatography.

A column packed with red blood cells (RBCs) was prepared for electrochromatography as a separation and reaction column. RBCs were kept inside a piece of fused silica capillary tubing with 2% agarose gel. In the column, RBCs were uniformly distributed in the agarose gel matrix and their electrophoretic movements due to an applied voltage were suppressed well. The durability of the biological function of the column under applied voltage was about 1 h, although it could remain for 2-3 days without applied voltage. The column could not be used when hemolysis of the RBCs was observed in the column. When the developed "RBC-gel column" was used, both pyridoxamine and serotonin were converted to other compounds through their direct contact with RBCs.
