The allylneodymium chloride complexes Nd(C3H5)2Cl·1.5 THF and Nd(C3H5)Cl2·2 THF can be activated by adding hexaisobutylaluminoxane (HIBAO) or methylaluminoxane (MAO) in a ratio of Al/Nd = 30 for the catalysis of butadiene 1,4-cis-polymerization. A turnover frequency (TOF) of about 20 000 mol butadiene/(mol Nd·h) and c…

The crystal structure of yeast orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase) complexed with the inhibitor 6-hydroxyuridine 5'-phosphate (BMP) reveals the presence of a series of strong interactions between enzyme residues and functional groups of this ligand. Enzyme contacts with the phosphoribofuranosyl moiety of…

An alternative process for the manufacture of powder coatings was developed. The continuously operated process is applicable to new (low-melting and fast-reacting) and conventional powder coating systems and allows to produce coatings with improved properties. The process uses the solubility of compressed gases in mel…

In this paper, the method of discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) is extended to include explicitly the thermal effects of moving dislocations. In this manner, localization of heat during fast deformation can be calculated exactly. The thermal effects included are the thermal dissipation due to dislocation drag, the…

We develop a phenomenological theory of oxygen-ion-conducting porous cermet anode for solid oxide fuel cells utilizing hydrogen, based on a simple picture of macro- and microkinetics of charge and gas transport in the cermet. Its basic equations account for the transport of hydrogen molecules and oxygen anions to the…

The exchange interactions between copper ions in ( l -tryptophyl-glycinato)copper(II), C 13 H 13 CuN 3 O 3 (named Cu(II)Trp-Gly) are determined by ac magnetic susceptibility and dc magnetization measurements in powder samples, and by EPR measurements in single-crystal samples. The copper ions in this compound are arra…

Formation of surface‐induced precipitates may play an important role in the immobilization of Ni and other metals in nonacidic soils. To investigate the influence of commonly present organic ligands on precipitate formation, we monitored the uptake of Ni by gibbsite and pyrophyllite in the presence of citrate and sali…

Abstract The present paper describes the comparative study of a continuous ultrasonic devulcanization of ground tire rubber (GRT) using two reactors. The devulcanization zone in the first reactor (coaxial reactor) is located at the exit from an extruder without imposition of additional shearing. In the second reactor…

Abstract The prevention and treatment of crystal deposition in the human body are based on the understanding of the physicochemical properties underlying the precipitation of the substances involved. Among these properties, the solubilities of the crystals are very important. Recently, experimentally determined solubi…

Band shifts in Raman spectra were used to assess, on a microscopic scale, the residual strain existing in Hi‐Nicalon silicon carbide fibers reinforcing celsian‐matrix composites. Uncoated as well as p‐BN/SiC‐coated and p‐B(Si)N/SiC‐coated Hi‐Nicalon fibers were used as the reinforcements. We unambiguously conclude tha…

The first successful alignment of helix axes of chiral nematic liquid crystals (LCs) by the photoalignment technique is reported here. The helix axis aligns perpendicularly to the propagation direction of the incident non-polarized light. Dark and bright images (see Figure) of the aligned helix axis of a chiral nemati…
