Probing The Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding Of Water Molecules At The Ccl4/Water Interface In The Presence Of Charges Soluble Surfactant, D. E. Gragson, G. L. Richmond

Chemistry and Biochemistry

The molecular structure and hydrogen bonding of water molecules at the CCl₄/water interface in the presence of a charged soluble surfactant has been explored in this study using vibrational sum frequency generation. By examining OH stretching modes that are highly sensitive to the local hydrogen bonding environment it is found that water molecules at the CCl₄/water interface both in the presence and absence of a charged soluble surfactant are predominantly in a tetrahedral arrangement much like the structure ofice. Isotopic dilution studies have been employed to further characterize this icelike interfacial structure. Ablueshift ofapproximately120 cm^{-1 …}

Remark On The Potential Function Of The Linear Sigma Model, Joseph Schechter, David Delphenich

Physics - All Scholarship

It is shown that the potential functions for the ordinary linear sigma model can be divided into two topographically different types depending on whether the quantity R\equiv (m_\sigma /m_\pi)^2 is greater than or less than nine. Since the Wigner-Weyl mode (R=1) and the Nambu-Goldstone mode (R=\infty belong to different regions, we speculate that this classification may provide a generalization to the broken symmetry situation, which could be convenient for roughly characterizing different possible applications of the model. It is noted that a more complicated potential does not so much change this picture as add different new regions.

Measurement Of The Decay Amplitudes And Branching Fractions Of B → J/Ψ K* And B → J/Ψ K Decays, C. P. Jessop, Kenneth A. Bloom, Cleo Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

Using data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we present the first full angular analysis in the color-suppressed modes B⁰ → J/Ψ K ^*0and B⁰ → J/Ψ K^*+. This leads to a complete determination of the decay amplitudes of these modes including the longitudinal polarization Γ_L/Γ= 0.52 ± 0.07 ± 0.04 and the P wave component │P│²= 0.16 ± 0.08 ± 0.04. In addition, we update the branching fractions for B → J/Ψ K and B → J/Ψ K …

Stern-Gerlach Effect For Electron Beams, Herman Batelaan, Timothy J. Gay, J. J. Schwendiman

Timothy J. Gay Publications

The conflict between Bohr’s assertion that the magnetic moment of the electron cannot be measured with experiments based on the concept of classical trajectories, and the measurement of the magnetic moment of electrons in a modified Penning trap by Dehmelt et al. has led us to reevaluate other implications of Bohr’s assertion. We show that, contrary to the analysis of Bohr and Pauli, the assumption of classical trajectories in a Stern-Gerlach–like device can result in a high degree of spin separation for an electron beam. This effect may persist within a fully quantum-mechanical analysis. The magnetic fields considered are such …

Trends. Some Security Lessons From Kyoto, Ibpp Editor

International Bulletin of Political Psychology

The author discusses how "the environment" is no longer a fringe Issue championed by starry-eyed dreamers and psychodynamic deviants, and perennial misfits who have little understanding of or orientation to reality. In fact, the relevance of "the environment" for policies of political security has become quite significant.

Nucleotide Or Nucleoside Photoaffinity Compound Modified Antibodies, Methods For Their Manufacture And Use Thereof As Diagnostics And Therapeutics, Boyd E. Haley, Heinz Köhler, Krishnan Rajagopalan, Gabriela Pavlinkova

Chemistry Faculty Patents

Sites on antibodies having affinity for photoaffinity compounds, in particular purine or azidopurine containing compounds are taught. These sites provide for the site-specific attachment of nucleotide photoaffinity compounds to antibodies, e.g., ATP- or GTP-analog photoaffinity compounds by photochemical means. These nucleotide photoaffinity compounds may additionally be attached to molecules having a desired therapeutic or diagnostic activity, and the resultant conjugates used as diagnostics or therapeutics.

Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Investigation Of The [2fe-2s]1--Containing “Rieske-Type” Protein From Xanthobacter Strain Py2, Richard C. Holz, Frederick J. Small, Scott A. Ensign

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Proton NMR spectra of the Rieske-type ferredoxin from Xanthobacter strain Py2 were recorded in both H₂O and D₂O buffered solutions at pH 7.2. Several well-resolved hyperfine-shifted ¹H NMR signals were observed in the 90 to −20 ppm chemical shift range. Comparison of spectra recorded in H₂O and D₂O buffered solutions indicated that the signals at −11.4 (L) and −15.5 (M) ppm were solvent-exchangeable and thus were assigned to the two histidine N^ε2H protons. The remaining observed signals were assigned based upon chemical shift, T₁ values, and one-dimensional …

Freezing Of Confined Water: A Bilayer Ice Phase In Hydrophobic Nanopores, Kenichiro Koga, Xiao Cheng Zeng, Hideki Tanaka

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the phase behavior of a thin film of water confined to a slit nanopore with smooth walls. A first-order water-to-ice freezing transition has been observed. The resulting ice, which is a crystal of bilayer consisting of rows of distorted hexagons, does not resemble any ice crystals found so far. The confined water contracts upon freezing when the confinement load is low ( ∼0.5 kbar) and expands when the load is high (10 kbar). The residual entropy of the bilayer ice can be calculated exactly, which is about half of the entropy of the …

Invariants Of Twist-Wise Flow Equivalence, Michael C. Sullivan

Articles and Preprints

Twist-wise flow equivalence is a natural generalization of flow equivalence that takes account of twisting in the local stable manifold of the orbits of a flow. Here we announce the discovery of two new invariants in this category.

Data Assimilation Experiments In The Gulf Stream Region: How Useful Are Satellite-Derived Surface Data For Nowcasting The Subsurface Fields?, Tal Ezer, George L. Mellor

CCPO Publications

Satellite-derived surface data have become an important source of information for studies of the Gulf Stream system. The question of just how useful these datasets are for nowcasting the subsurface thermal fields, however, remains to be fully explored. Three types of surface data-sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height (SSH), and Gulf Stream position (GSP)-are used here in a series of data assimilation experiments to test their usefulness when assimilated into a realistic primitive equation model. The U.S. Navy's analysis fields from the Optimal Thermal Interpolation System are used to simulate the surface data and to evaluate nowcast errors. Correlation …

The Determination Of The Crystal Structure Of 2-Methyl-2methylacrylyl-Cyclohexanone- (1,5)-Diaxaspiro Mononeopentyl By X-Ray Christallography, Joann Stevenson

McCabe Thesis Collection

Cyclohexanone, the central component of the compound 2-methyl-2-methylacrylylcyclohexanone-( l,5)-diaxaspiro mononeopentyl (see figure on page 2), serves as a solvent for oil in piston type aircraft and in natural and vinyl resins. It is used in the production of crude rubber, waxes, fats, shellac and DDT and other pesticides. Cyclohexanone also is a part of the production of adipic acid, which is used to prepare nylon and is used to prepare cyclohexanone resins via condensation to enhance the adhesive properties of products like floor paints.

Cyclohexanones are among the most accessible hydroaromatic derivatives and serve as the initial materials for the …

Electron-Impact Total Ionization Cross Sections Of Ch And C2H2, Yong-Ki Kim, M. Asgar Ali, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Electron-impact total ionization cross sections for the CH radical and C₂H₂ (acetylene) have been calculated using the Binary-Encounter-Bethe (BEB) model. The BEB model combines the Mott cross section and the asymptotic form of the Bethe theory, and has been shown to generate reliable ionization cross sections for a large variety of molecules. The BEB cross sections for CH and C₂H₂ are in good agreement with the available experimental data from ionization thresholds to hundreds of eV in incident energies.

Shielding Strategies For Human Space Exploration Chapter 9: Hze Interactions In Biological Materials, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

It is shown that most of the energy deposited by fast charged particles traversing matter occurs through ionization, i.e., the ejection of electrons during the atomic collision. The important mechanisms of ionization are identified and several methods of calculating the relevant differential and total cross sections are described. These include both classical and quantum theoretical methods and two semi-empirical models. The calculational methods were intended only for light, bare-ion projectiles, and care must be exercised in extending them to heavy, dressed projectiles.

Tidally Driven Residual Circulation In Shallow Estuaries With Lateral Depth Variation, Chunyan Li, James O'Donnell

CCPO Publications

Tidally driven residual circulation in shallow estuaries with lateral depth variation has been studied analytically using a two-dimensional, depth-averaged model. The solution is presented for a v-shaped channel. Exchange flow is found to be correlated with the topography. The magnitude of this exchange flow depends mainly on four parameters: the ratio between the minimum depth on the shoal and the maximum depth in the channel, the ratio between the tidal amplitude at the mouth and the mean depth, the ratio between the length of the estuary and the tidal wave length, and the ratio between the tidal timescale and the …

Joint Map Registration And High Resolution Image Estimation Using A Sequence Of Undersampled Images, Russell C. Hardie, Kenneth J. Barnard, Ernest E. Armstrong

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

n many imaging systems, the detector array is not sufficiently dense to adequately sample the scene with the desired field of view. This is particularly true for many infrared focal plane arrays. Thus, the resulting images may be severely aliased. This paper examines a technique for estimating a high-resolution image, with reduced aliasing, from a sequence of undersampled frames. Several approaches to this problem have been investigated previously. However, in this paper a maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework for jointly estimating image registration parameters and the high-resolution image is presented. Several previous approaches have relied on knowing the registration parameters …
