Equilibrium between Hydroxycycloalkanones and Oxabicycloalkanols
2009
Guido Kramer, Annette Oehlhof, and Herbert Meier Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Mainz, Duesbergweg 10 – 14, 55099 Mainz, Germany Reprint requests to Prof. Dr. H. Meier. Fax: +49-(0)6131-3925396. E-mail: hmeier@mail.uni-mainz.de Z. Naturforsch. 2009, 64b, 847 – 850; received April 8, 2009 Hydroxycycloalkanones 1 of medium ring size (8 – 10) exist in a transannular tautomeric equilibrium with the corresponding oxabicycloalkan-1-ols 2, which represent hemiacetals. Normally, the bicyclic structures 2 predominate in solution although their portion decreases with increasing solvent polarity. A correlation of the Gibbs reaction enthalpies ∆G (1→2) with the solvent parameters ET (30)…
Laser desorption/ionization cluster studies for calibration in mass spectrometry
2003
Precise mass calibration is mandatory in many fields of mass spectrometry. We have performed laser desorption/ionization cluster studies with a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer on gold and fullerene targets to produce atomic clusters. These investigations demonstrate that clusters are ideally suited for this purpose. Pulsed N 2 -laser and Nd:YAG-laser ablation was used to produce positively as well as negatively charged clusters. Earlier observations of dianionic metal clusters are confirmed. First results from the tandem Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP using carbon clusters as mass references show how carbon clusters can be applied to precision mass spectrometry by providing absolute ma…
Nitrous oxide fluxes from permafrost regions
2020
This dataset is a synthesis of published nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from permafrost-affected soils in Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine permafrost regions. The data includes mean N2O flux rates measured under field (in situ) conditions and in intact plant-soil systems (mesocosms) under near-field conditions. The dataset further includes explanatory environmental parameters such as meteorological data, soil physical-chemical properties, as well as site and experimental information. Data has been synthesized from published studies (see 'Further details'), and in some cases the authors of published studies have been contacted for additional site-level information. The dataset includes studies publ…
Activity of bulbar respiratory modulated neurons and restart of respiration after hypocapnic apnea in rabbits
1980
The activity of respiratory modulated neurons at the end of the apneic pause and during restart of respiration and the diaphragmatic mass activity were examined and both were compared to quiet respiration. Thresholds of mutual inhibition of neurons are unevenly distributed within various phase types of neurons.
A penning trap for studying cluster ions
2008
We propose to use a Penning trap for spectroscopy of stored cluster ions. A similar device has been built for the purpose of mass measurements of short-lived nuclei produced at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE/CERN. A resolving power of 500,000 in a mass measurement of39K and an accuracy of 2 × 10−7 for the85Rb/39K mass ratio were obtained. An efficiency for in-flight capture as high as 70% was achieved. The method provides very high sensitivity since typically only 10 to 100 ions are stored in the trap. We intend to perform laser spectroscopy on trapped Na clusters as a first application of the trap technique.
Cross-hemispheric transport of central African biomass burning pollutants: implications for downwind ozone production
2010
Pollutant plumes with enhanced concentrations of trace gases and aerosols were observed over the southern coast of West Africa during August 2006 as part of the AMMA wet season field campaign. Plumes were observed both in the mid and upper troposphere. In this study we examined the origin of these pollutant plumes, and their potential to photochemically produce ozone (O<sub>3</sub>) downwind over the Atlantic Ocean. Their possible contribution to the Atlantic O<sub>3</sub> maximum is also discussed. Runs using the BOLAM mesoscale model including biomass burning carbon monoxide (CO) tracers were used to confirm an origin from central African biomass burning fires. The…

Correction parameters in X-ray fluorescence analysis applying the limit dilution method (LDM)
1992
This paper is a study of the interelemental effect and its correction based on the mathematical model used to develop LDM in XRF analysis. A “compensation coefficient” is defined which is obtained from the quotient of the mass absorption coefficients of the problem and the standard (μs*/μp*). This coefficient compensates the effects produced by interactions between the analyt and the interferences and therefore acts as a correction factor for the interelemental effect within this theoretical model. The model itself establishes a simple relation of the “compensation coefficient” and the Y/H correction parameters for the unknown and the standard. An algorithm is proposed for calculating the “…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
2017
On August 14, 2017 at 10 30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of two stellar mass black holes, with a false-alarm rate of 1 in 27 000 years. The signal was observed with a three-detector network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 18. The inferred masses of the initial black holes are 30.5-3.0+5.7M and 25.3-4.2+2.8M (at the 90% credible level). The luminosity distance of the source is 540-210+130 Mpc, corresponding to a redshift of z=0.11-0.04+0.03. A network of three detectors improves the sky localization of the source, reducing the area of the 90% credible regio…
