The Role of Tissue Pressure and Bulk Flow in the Formation and Resolution of Cold-Induced Edema
1976
The mechanisms responsible for the dynamics of cold-induced edema, its spread and resolution, were examined. The findings indicate that bulk flow and not diffusion should be considered as the main mechanism for the edema spreading through the extracellular spaces of the white matter.
Micellization in Model Surfactant Systems
1999
Formation of micelles in model lattice surfactant systems was studied by a novel methodology based on grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The methodology involves combining free-energy information from a series of simulations in small systems by histogram reweighting. The solution osmotic pressure as a function of overall volume fraction of surfactant shows a sharp break at the critical micelle concentration (cmc) at sufficiently low temperatures. Studies in larger systems at appropriate values of the surfactant chemical potential are used to investigate the size distribution of micellar aggregates. The methodology allows for a clear distiction between micellization and macroscopic pha…
Streulichtuntersuchungen an exotherm-pseudoidealen Lösungen in Abhängigkeit von Druck und Temperatur
1971
Fraktionierte Proben von Polyisobutylen (PIB) (Mw = 73 500 und 690 000) wurden in n-Pentan (70–85°C) und in i-Octan (15–45°C) bei Drucken bis zu 1000 atm untersucht. An beiden Systemen beobachtet man eine ausgepragte Zunahme des zweiten osmotischen Virialkoeffizienten A2 mit steigendem Druck und eine wesentlich schwachere Abnahme mit steigender Temperatur. Eine genauere Analyse ergibt folgendes Bild: Der bei verschiedenen konstanten Drucken aus der Temperaturabhangigkeit von A2 ermittelte A2,H-Wert nimmt mit steigender Temperatur zu und mit steigendem Druck ab; dieser Befund steht im Einklang mit den Ergebnissen der fruheren Untersuchungen [1 – 3]. Im vorliegenden Fall bedeutet er, das die …
Advances in biogenic synthesis of palladium nanoparticles
2016
Green approaches for the synthesis of nanoparticles provide advantages due to the fact that green protocols are benign and environmentally friendly. Among various green recipes, biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles has recently emerged as an active area of research due to the simplicity of this method, with cost effective protocols, higher potential of reduction and low toxic effect on human health and the environment. Moreover, the biogenic reduction occurs at physiological conditions of temperature and pressure. The raw materials are easily available and therefore, the reaction can easily be scaled up. This paper presents a review to give an idea about the most reliable, cost-effective and…

Experimental set up for determining the temperature-oxygen partial pressure conditions during synthesis of spinel oxide nanoparticles
1997
Abstract Nanometric spinel oxide powders, Fe 3− x M x O 4 , where M is a transition element, have been synthetized by soft chemistry. This method generally leads to a non-stoichiometric phase, Fe 3− x M x O 4+δ where δ is the deviation from stoichiometry so that further annealing at low temperatures around 450°C and low oxygen partial pressure around 10 −25 Pa given by N 2 /H 2 /H 2 O gas mixtures is required: this enables a stoichiometric compound to be obtained and a nanometric size to be maintained. The complete set up consisting of a gas mixer, a thermogravimetric apparatus and a preparative furnace is described. Some results concerning the conditions of temperature and oxygen partial p…
Determination of the first ionization potential of einsteinium by resonance ionization mass spectroscopy (RIMS)
1998
Abstract The first ionization potential of einsteinium (IP Es ) was determined by resonance ionization mass spectroscopy (RIMS) using samples with ≤10 12 atoms of 254 Es ( T 1/2 =276 days). This method is based on the measurement of photoionization thresholds as a function of applied electric field strength, followed by extrapolation to zero field strength to yield IP Es . An atomic beam of Es was created by heating a filament on which einsteinium was electrodeposited from an aqueous solution onto a tantalum backing and covered with titanium metal. Es atoms were ionized via a three-step excitation scheme, and the ions mass-selectively detected in a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. Th…
Determination of the first ionization potential of nine actinide elements by resonance ionization mass spectroscopy (RIMS)
1998
The high sensitivity of RIMS enables the precise determination of the first ionization potential of actinide elements with a sample size of ≤1012 atoms. By multiple resonant laser excitation, the actinide atoms under investigation are ionized in the presence of an electric field, and the ions are mass-selectively detected in a time-of-flight spectrometer. The first ionization potential is obtained by scanning the wavelength of the laser used for the last excitation step across the ionization threshold Wth—indicated by a sudden increase of the ion count rate—at various electric field strengths. Extrapolation of Wth to electric field strength zero leads directly to the first ionization potent…
Assessment of a single-acquisition imaging sequence for oxygen-sensitive (3)He-MRI.
2001
MRI of the lungs using hyperpolarized helium-3 (3He) allows the determination of intrapulmonary oxygen partial pressures (pO2). The need to separate competing processes of signal loss has hitherto required two different imaging series during two different breathing maneuvers. In this work, a new imaging strategy to measure pO2 by a single series of consecutive scans is presented. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated in three healthy human volunteers. Maps and histograms of intrapulmonary pO2 are calculated. Changes in the oxygen concentration of the inhaled gas mixture are well reproduced in the histograms. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the temporal evolution of 3He hyperpolariza…
Spatial separation of atomic states in a laser cooled ion crystal
1999
A laser cooled ion crystal containing several hundred Ca+ ions has been stored in a linear Paul trap. Cooling is provided by a red detund laser at the 4S1/2−4P1/2 resonance transition. A second laser serves for repumping of those ions which decay from the excited 4P1/2 level to the metastable 3D3/2 state. The ions can be additionally excited by a third laser to a long lived metastable 3D5/2 energy level which decouples them from the cooling laser radiation. The light pressure acting upon the laser cooled ions pushes them into the direction of the laser beam. The ions in the metastable 3D5/2 state, however, do not experience any light pressure force and diffuse to the crystal side which poin…
