Measurements have been made of the concentration dependence of the rise and decay time characteristics of the monomer and excimer fluorescence of deoxygenated solutions of pyrene in cyclohexane at temperatures from 293 to 340 °K. Two independent methods were employed, one using a pulsed light source and a pulse-sampling oscilloscope, and the other a modulated light source and a phase and modulation fluorometer. In conjunction with observations of the monomer and excimer fluorescence quantum efficiencies, the results have been analyzed to determine the six rate parameters which describe the behaviour of the system. Values of 6.8 x 10 -7 and 0.9 x 10 -7 s are obtained for the radiative lifetimes of the monomer and excimer, respectively. Excimer formation is shown to be a diffusion-controlled collision process, in which every collision between excited and unexcited molecules is effective. From the difference in the activation energies for excimer dissociation and formation, the excimer binding energy is found to be 0.34eV.

Monomer Fluorescence

Observations were made of the fluorescence lifetimes of 1:2-benzanthracene and fourteen of its methyl derivatives in dilute deoxygenated cyclohexane solutions. 1:2-benzanthracene and its 5-, 6- and 10-methyl derivatives were also studied in more concentrated solutions. The time response functions of the monomer and excimer fluorescence components were measured by two independent methods, namely the phase and modulation fluorometer and the pulsed light source techniques. The quantum efficiency of the monomer fluorescence in dilute solutions, and the relative excimer/monomer fluorescence yield I D I M in concentrated solutions, were also observed. The results are analyzed to determine the rate parameters of monomer and excimer fluorescence and of excimer formation and dissociation. It is found that only about half the collisions between excited and unexcited monomers result in excimer formation. This behaviour differs from that of pyrene and it is indicative of weaker excimer interaction in the 1:2-benzanthracene derivatives. The factors determining I D I M are discussed.

Excitation Conditions

Observations were made of the fluorescence spectra of cyclohexane and n -hexane solutions of benzene, toluene, p -xylene and mesitylene and of the pure liquids as a function of concentration and temperature under standard excitation conditions. Excimer fluorescence is observed in benzene, toluene and mesitylene, and there is evidence for excimer formation in p -xylene. The data are analysed to determine the fluorescence quantum efficiencies, the rate parameters and other properties of the monomer-excimer systems. The following values are obtained for the excimer binding energy B ; benzene, 0.22 eV; toluene, 0.17 eV; p -xylene, > 0.11 eV; and mesitylene, 0.12 eV. The results are consistent with the excimer potential model, and the reduction in B in the methyl derivatives is attributed to steric hindrance.

Bimolecular Quenching

The time delay in the build-up of excimer fluorescence for solutions of pyrene affords a means of testing the assumption that bimolecular quenching of fluorescence is diffusion-controlled. It appears that in solvents of low viscosity this is no longer the case. An apparatus is described with which measurements of fluorescence intensity at nanosecond intervals can be made using a simple versatile high- intensity lamp of short flash duration.

The Difference

SummaryThe authors previously reported a transient decrease in adhesive platelet count and an enhancement of blood coagulability after administration of a small amount of adrenaline (0.1-1 µg per Kg, i. v.) in man and rabbit. In such circumstances, the sensitivity of platelets to aggregation induced by ADP was studied by an optical density method. Five minutes after i. v. injection of 1 µg per Kg of adrenaline in 10 rabbits, intensity of platelet aggregation increased to 115.1 ± 4.9% (mean ± S. E.) by 10∼5 molar, 121.8 ± 7.8% by 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before the injection by 10”6 molar ADP. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01-0.05). The above change was not observed in each group of rabbits injected with saline, 1 µg per Kg of 1-noradrenaline or 0.1 and 10 µg per Kg of adrenaline. Also, it was prevented by oral administration of 10 mg per Kg of phenoxybenzamine or propranolol or aspirin or pyridinolcarbamate 3 hours before the challenge. On the other hand, the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation was not observed in vitro, when 10-5 or 3 × 10-6 molar and 129.4 ± 12.8% of the value before 10∼6 molar ADP was added to citrated platelet rich plasma (CPRP) of rabbit after incubation at 37°C for 30 second with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 µg per ml of adrenaline or noradrenaline. These results suggest an important interaction between endothelial surface and platelets in connection with the enhancement of ADP-induced platelet aggregation by adrenaline in vivo.

This chapter presents the equations and calculations for energy approximation. It establishes the estimates (261) and (262) of the Main Lemma (10.1) for continuous solutions; these estimates state that we are able to accurately prescribe the energy that the correction adds to the solution, as well as bound the difference between the time derivatives of these two quantities. The chapter also introduces the proposition for prescribing energy, followed by the relevant computations. Each integral contributing to the other term can be estimated. Another proposition for estimating control over the rate of energy variation is given. Finally, the coarse scale material derivative is considered.

As If

Rhetoric has always been torn between the rhetoric of figures and the rhetoric of conflicts or arguments, as if rhetoric were exclusively one or the other. This is a false dilemma. Both types of rhetoric hinge on the same structure. A common formula is provided in Chapter 3 which unifies rhetoric stricto sensu and rhetoric as argumentation as two distinct but related strategies adopted according to the level of problematicity of the questions at stake, thereby giving unity to the field called “Rhetoric.” Highly problematic questions require arguments to justify their answers; non-divisive ones can be treated rhetorically through their answers as if they were self-evident. Another classic problem is how to understand the difference between logic and rhetoric. The difference between the two is due to the presence of questions explicitly answered in the premises in logic and only suggested (or remaining indeterminate) in rhetoric.

The Relationship

The respiratory rates of three species of planktonic copepods, Acartia clausi, Centropages hamatus and Temora longicornis, were measured at four different temperatures.The relationship between respiratory rate and temperature was found to be similar to that previously found for Calanus, although the slope of the curves differed in the different species.The observations on Centropages at 13 and 170 C. can be divided into two groups and it is suggested that the differences are due to the use of copepods from two different generations.The relationship between the respiratory rates and lengths of Acartia and Centropages agreed very well with that previously found for other species. That for Temora was rather different: the difference is probably due to the distinct difference in the shape of the body of Temora from those of the other species.The application of these measurements to estimates of the food requirements of the copepods is discussed.

AbstractGalaxy groups offer an important perspective on how the large-scale structure of the Universe has formed and evolved, being great laboratories to study the impact of the environment on the evolution of galaxies. We aim to investigate the properties of a galaxy group that is gravitationally lensing HELMS18, a submillimeter galaxy at z = 2.39. We obtained multi-object spectroscopy data using Gemini-GMOS to investigate the stellar kinematics of the central galaxies, determine its members and obtain the mass, radius and the numerical density profile of this group. Our final goal is to build a complete description of this galaxy group. In this work we present an analysis of its two central galaxies: one is an active galaxy with z = 0.59852 ± 0.00007, while the other is a passive galaxy with z = 0.6027 ± 0.0002. Furthermore, the difference between the redshifts obtained using emission and absorption lines indicates an outflow of gas with velocity v = 278.0 ± 34.3 km/s relative to the galaxy.

Abstract Background Infection with Salmonella enterica usually results in diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, but some people become asymptomatic or chronic carrier as a source of infection for others. This study aimed to analyze the difference in serotype, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic profiles between Salmonella strains isolated from patients and those from asymptomatic people in Nantong city, China. Methods A total of 88 Salmonella strains were collected from patients and asymptomatic people from 2017 to 2018. Serotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and PFGE analysis were performed to analyze the characteristics of these strains. Results Twenty serotypes belonging to 8 serogroups were identified in the 88 Salmonella strains. S. Typhimurium remained to be the predominant serotype in strains from both patients and asymptomatic people. Among the 27 strains from patients, S. Enteritidis and S. Rissen were shown as the other two major serotypes, while S. London, S. Derby, and S. Meleagridis were demonstrated as the other significant serotypes among the 61 strains from asymptomatic people. Antimicrobial resistance testing revealed that 84.1% of strains from both resources were multi-drug resistant. PFGE displayed a highly discriminative ability to differentiate strains belonging to S. Derby, S. Typhimurium, etc., but could not efficiently differentiate serotypes like S. Enteritidis. Conclusions This study’s results demonstrated that S. Typhimurium could cause human infection in both symptomatic and asymptomatic state; S. London, S. Derby, and S. Meleagridis usually cause asymptomatic infection, while S. Enteritidis infection mainly results in human diseases. The high multi-drug resistance rate detected in the antimicrobial resistance and diverse PFGE profiles of these strains implied that the strains were isolated from different sources, and the increased surveillance of Salmonella from both patients and asymptomatic people should be taken to control the disease.
