The second-stage dissociation constant values of N-(2-acetamido)imino diacetic acid (H2ADA) were determined at 25 ± 0.1 °C by potentiometric titration in different mixed-solvent mixtures (methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetone, and dioxane). It was observed that the pKa value is slightly influenced as the solvent is enriched in methanol and ethanol, and remains practically constant in the presence of different amounts of DMF and DMSO. A prounounced change in the pKa value was observed as the solvent is enriched in acetone or dioxane. These results are discussed in terms of various solvent characteristics. It is concluded that the electrostatic effect has only a relatively small influence on the dissociation equilibrium of the imino group [Formula: see text]. Other solvent effects such as solvent basicity, different stabilization of the free base of the conjugate acid by hydrogen bonding interactions in aquoorganic solvent media relative to pure aqueous media, as well as proton–solvent interaction play an important role in the acid dissociation equilibrium.

Studies of the ultraviolet absorption of dilute aqueous solutions of lithium, sodium, potassium, and ammonium sulfates show that the concentration of sulfate ion in the presence of univalent cations can be determined from the optical density of the solution at 190 mμ. The concentrations of sulfate ion thus determined in dilute solutions of sulfuric acid are in agreement with values reported previously from Raman spectral, conductivity, and other studies, which indicate a dissociation constant K2 = 0.01 for the second stage in the ionization of sulfuric acid.

B-lymphocytes normally synthesize small amounts of immunoglobulin, some of which is incorporated into the cell membrane where it serves as receptor of antigen. These cells, on contact with specific antigen, proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells which synthesize and secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin. The two stages of differentiation of this cell line (generation of B-lymphocytes and antigen-driven maturation to plasma cells) are clearly separable during ontogeny and in some immune deficiency diseases. The present report describes morphologic aberrations of B-lymphocytes in two diseases in which second stage differentiation is defective.

Transmission electron microscopy is an important approach to the characterization of the morphology of multiphase latices. Various sample preparation techniques have been applied to multiphase latices such as OsO4, RuO4 and CsOH stains to distinguish the polymer phases or domains. Radiation damage by an electron beam of latices imbedded in ice has also been used as a technique to study particle morphology. Further studies have been developed in the use of freeze-fracture and the effect of differential radiation damage at liquid nitrogen temperatures of the latex particles embedded in ice and not embedded.Two different series of two-stage latices were prepared with (1) a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) seed and poly(styrene) (PS) second stage; (2) a PS seed and PMMA second stage. Both series have varying amounts of second-stage monomer which was added to the seed latex semicontinuously. A drop of diluted latex was placed on a 200-mesh Formvar-carbon coated copper grid.
