Intravenous fluids in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) packaging are known to be acidic. We proposed to determine the effect of PVC packaging on the pH of 0.9% saline solutions by comparing the predicted and measured pH of 0.9% saline equilibrated with atmospheric carbon dioxide and the measured pH of commercial solutions of…

The WO 3- x –0.1TiO 2- y thin films prepared by the sol–gel route exhibit increased lifetime and stability. A sol–gel solution mixed with nanoscopic silicon oxide particles (40 nm, 200 nm) was spin-coated onto an indium tin oxide (ITO)-covered glass substrate followed by further surface development by chemical etching…

Fatty-acid biosynthesis by a branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (bkd) mutant of Streptomyces avermitilis was analyzed. This mutant is unable to produce the appropriate precursors of branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA) biosynthesis, but unlike the comparable Bacillus subtilis mutant, was shown not to have an obl…

The 18-π electron ring in the phthalocyanines and porphyrins largely controls their chemical and spectroscopic properties. It is the aim of this microsymposium to explore the formation and reactivities and the spectroscopic and theoretical properties of the ring-oxidized and ring-reduced phthalocyanines and porphyrins…

Analytical expressions for the absolute change of the primary reflection intensity due to multiple diffraction are given in the kinematical approach. It is shown that satisfactory agreement between experiment and theory can be obtained for a mosaic crystal (diamond) as well as for a perfect crystal (silicon) even in t…

Abstract Metakaolins formed by total dehydroxylation of kaolinite, dickite and nacrite were hydrothermally treated at 240 ° C, for 2, 21 or 182 days, at initial pH = 5– 6 or 1. Kaolinite was the only mineral of the kaolin subgroup crystallized in these treatments. Kaolinite is less ordered for pH = 4– 6 than for pH =…

Temperature-dependent optical absorption of cerium-doped gadolinium oxyorthosilicate (Gd2SiO5:Ce) has been measured and analyzed for impurity-ion-lattice coupling parameters and oscillator strengths. Although the spectrum consists of overlapping Ce3+ bands and Gd3+ lines, two well-resolved Ce3+ bands with 10 K maxima…

The formation and migration of vacancies in (1121) twin boundaries in α-Ti and α-Zr are studied by computer modelling. Three empirical central force potentials constructed within the embedded-atom method are used to represent atomic interactions. Minimum-energy structures for the grain boundary are found first and the…

Abstract Four “gemini”-type cholesterol-based gelators 1n were synthesized. They acted as versatile gelators of organic fluids. The xerogels show lamellar structures for 12 and 14 and fiber structures for 13 and 15 according to the even or odd number of alkyl chains between two nitrogens. The difference in these organ…
