Study On Polarographic And Voltammetric Behaviour Of Cu(Ⅱ) Xanthosine Complex, Huizhi Fan, Jinlong Liu, Jinghao Pan May 1997

Study On Polarographic And Voltammetric Behaviour Of Cu(Ⅱ) Xanthosine Complex, Huizhi Fan, Jinlong Liu, Jinghao Pan

Journal of Electrochemistry

The polarographic and voltammetric behaviour of Cu(Ⅱ) xanthosine complex has been studied. A new sharp reduction peak is yielded at the potential of -0.14 V(vs, Ag/AgCl). The conc. of Cu(Ⅱ) is proportional to peak current of NPP in the range of 1×10 -6 ~1×10 -4 mol/L when the conc. of xanthosine is 1×10 -4 mol/L. It is indicated that the current has adsorption character. The mechanism of the electrode reaction was deduced and the ratio of the complex is Cu(Ⅱ) ∶ xanthosine=1∶1.

Electrodeposition Of Amorphous Fe Cr Alloy Coating, Danhong Cheng, Weiyi Xu, Yiqin Qin, Liqun Hua, Zhongyan Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The amorphous Fe Cr alloy coatings were obtained by controlling the composition of bath operation conditions. It was found that the pH value, the current density and the content of chromium in Fe Cr alloy coatings effect the amorphous structure of the coatings. The result of anodic polarization shows that the corrosion resistance of the amorphous coatings in acidic media is higher than the corrosion resistance of the crystal ones.

An Analysis On The Microstructure Of Electrodeposited Zro 2 Ni Functionally Graded Materials, Chengjun Quan, Xinghua Xiang, Jingchuan Zhu, Zhongda Yin

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrodeposited ZrO 2 Ni functionally graded coating was fabricated by controlling the ZrO 2 concentration in the bath, and the microstructure was analyzed by X Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA). The results show that the functionally graded coating has excellent compositional gradient distribution from the substrate to the surface. The content of ZrO 2 is up to 14.4 vol% in the surface layer and the coating consists of the t ZrO 2, m ZrO 2 and Ni phases. Owing to the ZrO 2 particles pressed by Ni atoms during electrodepositing, t→m transformation has occurred.

Faculty Publications

Nepsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) is a stable chemical modification of proteins formed from both carbohydrates and lipids during autoxidation reactions. We hypothesized that carboxymethyl lipids such as (carboxymethyl)phosphatidylethanolamine (carboxymethyl-PE) would also be formed in these reactions, and we therefore developed a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay for quantification of carboxymethylethanolamine (CME) following hydrolysis of phospholipids. In vitro, CME was formed during glycation of dioleoyl-PE under air and from linoleoylpalmitoyl-PE, but not from dioleoyl-PE, in the absence of glucose. In vivo, CME was detected in lipid extracts of red blood cell membranes, approximately 0.14 mmol of CME/mol of ethanolamine, from control and diabetic subjects, …


Grand Canonical Monte Carlo And Modified Singlet Integral Equations For The Density Profile Of A Yukawa Fluid Near A Planar Wall, Douglas Henderson, Wilmer Olivares-Rivas, Leo Degreve, Jacqueline Quintana May 1997

Grand Canonical Monte Carlo And Modified Singlet Integral Equations For The Density Profile Of A Yukawa Fluid Near A Planar Wall, Douglas Henderson, Wilmer Olivares-Rivas, Leo Degreve, Jacqueline Quintana

Faculty Publications

Results for the density profile for Yukawa molecules near a hard wall and an exponential attractive wall are presented for Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations, for the singlet hypernetted chain (HNC) integral equation and for a modified version of the Lovett–Mou–Buff–Wertheim (LMBW-1) which uses the exact contact value theorem. The results of the standard singlet HNC are quite poor. If the LMBW equation is modified (but still using the bulk direct correlation function) the results at high temperature become reasonable. However, the results at low temperatures, close to the bulk coexistence curve, are only a partial improvement. The contact …

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

Process for enriching the concentration of an enantiomer (or a diastereomer) in a mixture of optically active isomers. The process includes preparing a solution containing the mixture of the optically active isomers and a chiral collector in which the chiral collector and the enantiomer (or diastereomer) are associated with each other. A gas is bubbled through a pool of the solution to form a foam, the surfaces of the bubbles in the foam having the chiral collector and the enantiomer (or diastereomer) preferentially adsorbed thereto so that the concentration ratio of the optically active isomers at said bubble surfaces differs …

Celluloid Blackness : Race, Modernity, And The Conflicted Roots Of American Cinema (1915-1939), Lincoln Farr

Honors Theses

Introduction: "The Problem of the Twentieth Century" In a full page interview in the New York Times on May 29, 1912, the Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Carl G. Jung told the American people, "It seems to me that you are about to discover yourselves. You have discovered everything else-all the land of this continent; all the resources, all the hidden things of nature."Jung used the interview to address the American people, at a moment which he somehow recognized as crucial in the development of human civilization. America, the "tragic" country which he struggled to comprehend, would soon become the harbinger of …


Signal Transduction Pathways In Volvox Carteri, Heide Girardin May 1997

Signal Transduction Pathways In Volvox Carteri, Heide Girardin

Honors Theses

The green alga Volvox carteri exhibits a virtual absence of protein synthesis in the dark, but begins synthesizing proteins necessary for growth and development almost immediately after exposure to the light. The regulation of protein synthesis in this system is known to be translational since extracts prepared in the dark have identical pools and quantities of mRNA as extracts prepared in the light (Kirk and Kirk, 1983). Exploration of the mechanism of translational regulation has led us to consider the importance of signal transduction pathways. By using a variety of commercially available drugs that affect specific components of known signaling …

Chemistry & Biochemistry Publications

Organic dyes have found increasing use a s sensitizers in laser surgical procedures, due to their high optical absorbances. Little is known, however, about the nature of the degradation products formed when these dyes are irradiated with a laser. Previous work in our laboratories has shown that irradiation of polymeric and biological tissues with CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers produces a host of volatile and semivolatile by-products, some of which are known to be potential carcinogens. This work focuses on the identification of the chemical by-products formed by diode laser and Nd:YAG laser irradiation of indocyanine green (ICG) and carbon black …


Thermal Decomposition Reactions Of Acetaldehyde And Acetone On Si(100), J.L. Armstrong, J.M. White, Marjorie Langell May 1997

Thermal Decomposition Reactions Of Acetaldehyde And Acetone On Si(100), J.L. Armstrong, J.M. White, Marjorie Langell

Marjorie A. Langell Publications

We have studied the thermal interactions of acetone and acetaldehyde on Si(100), both sputtered and annealed, using high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, (HREELS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). There is no carbonyl stretch in HREELS and the C and O(1s) XPS peaks reflect two different carbonyl processes, one involving bond cleavage, the other a reduction of the C–O bond order. Hydrogen TPD gives a peak at 840–850 K which is as much as threefold more intense than from H-saturated Si(100). SiO desorbs near 1050 K and XPS shows total loss of oxygen and …

Charge and transverse energy distributions for intermediate mass fragments have been extracted for central 84Kr+197Au collisions at E/A=35-400 MeV. The slopes of the measured fragment charge distributions decrease monotonically with incident energy, consistent with the expectations for highly charged systems, but not with recent critical exponent analyses. Statistical model calculations, which reproduce the experimental trends, suggest that post-breakup fragment secondary decays alter significantly the observed charge distributions. Radial expansion velocities extracted from these calculations follow the systematics of Au+Au collisions.

Ac-Mode Atomic Force Microscope Imaging In Air And Solutions With A Thermally Driven Bimetallic Cantilever Probe, Andrew C. Hillier, Allen J. Bard Apr 1997

Ac-Mode Atomic Force Microscope Imaging In Air And Solutions With A Thermally Driven Bimetallic Cantilever Probe, Andrew C. Hillier, Allen J. Bard

Andrew C. Hillier

An ac imaging mode for atomic force microscopy ~AFM! has been developed that employs a thermally driven bimetallic cantilever to sense surface topography. Oscillations are induced in a composite cantilever, comprising a Si3N4 layer and Au overcoat, by local heating with a resistive wire heater placed in close proximity to the cantilever. Cantilever bending occurs upon heating due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the Si3N4 and Au layers. The magnitude of this bending is a function of the heat input, the cantilever geometry, the frequency of the excitation, and the thermal properties of the surrounding medium. A …
