In vitro plant regeneration of caper (Capparis spinosa L.) from floral explants and genetic stability of regenerants
2011
A new technique to regenerate caper plants (Capparis spinosa L. subsp. rupestris) starting from flower explant is reported. In vitro plant regeneration was attempted using stigma, anthers and unfertilized ovules of unopened flowers collected in the field. Plant regeneration was achieved from unfertilized ovules on MS medium supplemented with 88 mM sucrose and 13 lM 6-benzyladenine (BA). New individuals obtained from unfertilized ovules were used as source material for micropropagation and multiple shoots were obtained on MS medium sup- plemented with the adeninic cytokinin BA and the auxin indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Explants obtained in micro- propagation step were used for rooting step u…
Crystal structure of the chalcone (E)-3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one
2015
The crystal packing of the compound is described by an intermolecular arrangement with the molecules as interlaced layers in a zigzag fashion, denoting interacting self-complementary dimers mainly by the localization of weak hydrogen bonds in a head-to-tail arrangement.
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric determination of arsenic in mussel products
1993
A precise, accurate procedure is proposed for the determination of arsenic in mussel products by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Organic matter is destroyed by dry ashing. Experimental conditions for the determination of arsenic were selected and an interference study was carried out. The methodology developed has a detection limit of 0.1 μg g−1, a relative standard deviation of 3%, and a recovery percentage of 98±2%. The accuracy of the method was checked by analysis of a certified sample of NIST oyster tissue (certified 14.0±1.2 μg g−1; found 14.1±1.1 μg g−1). The proposed procedure was used to analyze real samples of mussel products.
Naphthothiete und ihre Anwendung in der Heterocyclen-Synthese
1995
Naphtothietes and Their Application to the Synthesis of Heterocycles The three isomeric naphthothietes 5, 11, and 16 were prepared according to the reaction sequences shown in Schemes 1–3. The final step was in each case a flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of the corresponding mercaptonaphthalenemethanol 4, 9, and 15, respectively. The thiete rings in 5 and 11 can be opened by gentle heating; the ring opening of the isomer 16 possesses a much higher activation barrier. A MNDO calculation of the ΔHf values of 5, 11, and 16 and the open isomers 5′, 11′, and 16′ provides an explanation for the different behavior. Photochemical ring opening represents a useful alternative. The reaction Schemes 4, 6,…
Iodine and mercury resonance lamps for kinetics experiments and their spectra in the far ultraviolet
2000
Electrodeless iodine and mercury iodide radio-frequency discharge lamps have been made to provide intense sources of resonance radiation of iodine and mercury in the 183-253 nm region. Production technology and emission spectra in the ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet regions are described. Both lamps (iodine and mercury iodide) are designed and used for monitoring the iodine 2P1/2 (206.163 nm) and 2P3/2 (183.038 nm) level population kinetics after flash photolysis of I2 or other precursor molecules in laboratory experiments. The technique is suitable for the investigation of the gas phase reaction kinetics following the photolysis of I2 in the presence of O3.
Perovskite solar cells prepared by flash evaporation
2015
A simple vacuum deposition method for the preparation of high quality hybrid organic-inorganic methylammonium lead iodide perovskite thin films is reported. When sandwiched in between organic charge transporting layers, such films lead to solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 12.2%.
A simplified description of viscoelastic behavior of polymers as illustrated with biaxially-oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate)
1978
A rheological model of solid polymers is proposed. Its mechanical analog is a parallel of a linear spring and a Maxwell element with variable viscosity. The viscosity of the dashpot is allowed to change with stress both directly, by an Eyring-type mechanism, and through free volume changes according to the Doolittle equation. Predictions of the model reproduce many of the features shown, especially after yielding, by constant velocity stress-strain, stress-relaxation and creep data taken at room temperature on biaxially-oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) over a wide range of loading rates.
Thermal diffusivity measurements for Mg-Mn ferrites
1992
Abstract The thermal diffusivity of Mg-Mn ferrites is studied through a modified scheme of the photothermal deflection method able to derive the diffusivity of low-diffusivity samples and to avoid any influence of the vertical offset parameter. The examined samples have been realized under different preparation conditions producing different grain dimensions, and a negligible influence of the grain dimensions is found on the thermal properties.
The triplet excited state of the biocative compound thiabendazole. Characterization and suitability as reporter for cyclodextrin complexation
2012
Fluorescence spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis (LPF), and density functional theory calculations have been performed to characterize the photobehavior of thiabendazole (1). Direct LFP of 1 results in the generation of a transient absorbing at λmax = 570 nm identified as the triplet excited state (31∗). The intersystem crossing quantum yield is 0.91, and the triplet energy is 288 kJ mol−1. The singlet–triplet energy gap is 84 kJ mol−1. The behavior of thiabendazole within CDs results in a marked enhancement of the triplet lifetime, this change is attributed to the mobility restrictions of included 1 imposed by the cyclodextrin cavities.
Polymer dynamics in time-dependent periodic potentials.
2008
Dynamics of a discrete polymer in time-dependent external potentials is studied with the master equation approach. We consider both stochastic and deterministic switching mechanisms for the potential states and give the essential equations for computing the stationary state properties of molecules with internal structure in time-dependent periodic potentials on a lattice. As an example, we consider standard and modified Rubinstein-Duke polymers and calculate their mean drift and effective diffusion coefficient in the two-state non-symmetric flashing potential and symmetric traveling potential. Rich non-linear behavior of these observables is found. By varying the polymer length, we find cur…
