Experiments on the metyrapone reducing microsomal enzyme system.
1970
The formation of reduced metyrapone [2-methyl-1.2-bis-(3-pyridyl)-1-propanol] from metyrapone [2-methyl-1.2-bis-(3-pyridyl)-1-propanone] in the liver has been studied. Reduced metyrapone appeared as the main metabolite of metyrapone in the isolated perfused rat liver. Experiments on the intracellular distribution of the metyrapone reducing activity revealed that metyrapone reductase is mainly localized in the microsomal fraction. In the 105,000 × g supernatant only a little activity was found.
Quinol sulphate, a new conjugate of phenol in goldfish.
1983
1. Metabolism of phenol in goldfish yielded the known phenyl conjugates in fish--phenyl sulphate and phenyl glucuronide. Additionally, quinol sulphate, a new conjugate of phenol in fish, was detected.
Validation of liposomal lipid composition by thin-layer chromatography.
2012
Liposomes of different sizes are frequently used model systems for cellular membranes. To mimic the cellular environment, these liposomes are often prepared from a mixture of different lipids in organic solution. The preparation involves, at some point, the transfer into aqueous solution. Thus, both the total amount of lipid and the relative amount of each lipid species might deviate from the original composition in the organic solvent. We used thin-layer chromatography combined with a lipid extraction step to check whether the liposomes in the final aqueous solution have the intended composition. This allows determination of the lipid composition not only for large unilamellar vesicles, bu…
4-(Diethylamino)salicylaldehyde-based twin compounds as NLO-active materials
2016
Abstract 4-(Diethylamino)salicylaldehyde-based twin compounds containing 1,3-indandione and 1,3-bisdicianovinylindane moieties were synthesized and their thermal, optical, photophysical, electrochemical, photoelectrical and nonlinear optical properties were studied. The synthesized compounds form glasses with the glass transition temperatures ranging from 79 to 103 °C. Photoluminescence spectra of the solutions of compounds exhibited red-shifts with the increase of the solvent polarity that was caused by the positive solvatochromic effect. The linear dependencies between the position of the photoluminescence maxima of compounds and the empirical parameter E T (30) of the different solvents …
Radiation resonant transmission and reflection by a thin layer of an anisotropic plasma
2005
The possibility of radiation resonant transmission and reflection by a thin layer of a plasma possessing an anisotropic electron velocity distribution strongly elongated in the direction of the incident wave polarization is established.
Development and characterization of a Drop-on-Demand inkjet printing system for nuclear target fabrication
2017
Abstract A novel target preparation method based on Drop-on-Demand (DoD) inkjet printing has been developed. Conventional preparation methods like the electrochemical method “Molecular Plating” or the “Polymer-Assisted Deposition Method” are often limited, e.g., concerning the dimensions and geometries of depositions or by the requirement for electrically conducting substrates. Here, we report on the development of a new technique, which overcomes such limits by using a commercially available DoD dispenser. A variety of solutions with volumes down to 5 nL can be dispensed onto every manageable substrate. The dispensed volumes were determined with a radioactive tracer and the deposits of eva…
ODIn — A setup for Off-line Deposit Irradiations of thin layers for nuclear physics applications
2020
Abstract A table top setup was developed for the irradiation of thin layers with low-energy electrons and ions of gaseous species. This serves to gain a better understanding of the chemical microprocesses involved during irradiations. The gained insights will complement the understanding of heavy-ion beam induced transformations at on-line facilities and will be used to develop an accelerator-independent method to transform freshly produced targets into a long-term stable form. The pilot experiment for these Off-line Deposit Irradiations (ODIn) is installed at the Helmholtz Institute Mainz. The setup, beam characterization and first commissioning are described.
The performance of thin layers produced by molecular plating as α-particle sources
2013
Abstract Sources for α-spectroscopy studies were prepared. Constant current density molecular plating was used to produce layers containing the α-particle emitter 147 Sm. Different parameters of the molecular plating process were varied, namely the plating solvent (an isopropanol/isobutanol mixture, pyridine, and N , N -dimethylformamide), the applied deposition time (90, 180, and 360 min), and the surface roughness of the deposition substrate (ca. 10, 20, and 300 nm). Using different analytical techniques, Sm deposition yields, chemical composition of the produced surfaces, surface homogeneity, roughness and morphology were investigated. Alpha spectra were recorded with a Si solid-state de…
Non-destructive diagnostics of thin fissile layers
2003
We have developed a non-destructive nuclear technique useful for the diagnostic of thin layers of fissile element. The method is based on the correlation between the fission fragment energy losses and the distortion of the energy spectrum of the alpha-particles emerging from the layer itself. We have also measured the sputtering rate of atoms from a fission layer which can be the cause of an important degradation in a working apparatus.
Radio-metabolite analysis of carbon-11 biochemical partitioning to non-structural carbohydrates for integrated metabolism and transport studies.
2013
Metabolism and phloem transport of carbohydrates are interactive processes, yet each is often studied in isolation from the other. Carbon-11 ((11)C) has been successfully used to study transport and allocation processes dynamically over time. There is a need for techniques to determine metabolic partitioning of newly fixed carbon that are compatible with existing non-invasive (11)C-based methodologies for the study of phloem transport. In this report, we present methods using (11)C-labeled CO2 to trace carbon partitioning to the major non-structural carbohydrates in leaves-sucrose, glucose, fructose and starch. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) was adapted to provide multis…
