Gamma irradiation of suspensions of a commercial sample of α-Cr2O3 in the presence of KBrO3 in the concentration range 0.1 ≤ [BrO3−] ≤ 0.4 mol dm−3, at pH 4 and 25 °C brings about oxidative dissolution. Release of Cr(VI) to the solution proceeds at a constant rate that increases with bromate concentration, even in conditions of quantitative eaq− scavenging. A mechanism of reactions is proposed in which OH and BrO2 radicals oxidize surface Cr(III) to Cr(IV), and ionic release is achieved by oxidation of surface Cr(IV) by bromate. The corresponding set of equations was solved by a rigid method for the integration of ordinary differential equations, using these two heterogeneous rate constants as adjustable parameters. The calculated profiles are in close agreement with the experimental data. Key words: chromium oxides, radiation-induced dissolution, oxidation dissolution.

The exciting force’s accurate measurement of is crucial to the structure-born sound radiation. Forced vibration and sound radiation of the ribbed cylinder is examined in the anechoic room. An approach called added mass and damping method is proposed to calculate the elastic vibration and acoustic field of the cylinder. Results obtained from simulation are show to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Sound radiation induced by different input loading form is examined via simulation and experiment. And the equipollence of force and pressure acting on the base is validated.

A method is proposed that allows us to obtain the values of the rate constants (CR) of the processes of mechanodestruction (mechanical cracking) of kм, oxidative destruction of kо, and recombination of kр macromolecules, as well as the mass fractions of the corresponding fractions of φм, φо, and φр,r involved in the plasticization process (P) of SKI-3 isoprene rubber. The method is based on the selection of the values of these parameters that correspond to the previously obtained experimental data, using the previously obtained recurrent equations and a specially developed program. The dependences of the CR on the time P at 30oC are obtained, which allows us to describe the kinetics of the processes accompanying P at this temperature, and the changes in molecular mass (MM) in this process. It is shown that constant values of CR are established at large times of P. Refined explanations of the nature of the kinetics of the CR change at P are proposed. The MM value of SKI-3 macromolecules that have not undergone destruction is calculated, depending on the time of plasticization.

The present paper proposes a computing model for temperature dependence of volume thermal expansivity, volume expansion ratio and second order temperature derivative of volume based on the assumption that the product αKT remains constant at high temperatures and zero pressure. We have taken NaCl and KCl to testify the validity of the present model. A fairly close agreement between the calculated results and experimental data strongly supports the present model.

Recently the analysis of transient regimes of chemical reactions is paid much attention. This is due to the fact that the time-dependent relaxation modes prior to achieving steady states contain important information about the features of the reactions. During unsteady mode the changes in reactant concentrations and rate of the reaction in time are observed. These changes are due to their own relaxation processes, depending on the structure of the reaction mechanism. A complete study of the reaction mechanism involves the study of the relaxation characteristics both near and away from the stationary state. Linear relaxation time describes the local transient modes near the steady state and it is calculated as the time decrease deviations of reactant concentrations from steady-state values in the e-times. Non-linear relaxation time describes the overall behavior reactions and it can be evaluated through the reaction time from the initial state to a stationary. Depending on the structural features of reactions ratio to determine the non-linear relaxation time through of reactions parameters (rate constants stages and reactant concentrations) differ significantly. The establishment of such ratio for a particular reaction allows getting more information to identify the mechanism and the constituent rate constants of its stages. The mechanism of any catalytic reaction involves stages adsorption of one or more of the starting materials on the catalyst surface. As a rule these stages are initial remaining stages of chemical transformation of reactants adsorbed forms follow them. Therefore, it is necessary to have the data on these stages and rate constants of adsorption of reagents on the catalyst surface. Earlier by author the method for estimating the values of the rate constants of adsorption and desorption by linear relaxation times was described. This method was used for determine of mechanism and kinetic parameters of process of adsorption of carbon dioxide on the chromium oxide and gallium oxide catalysts. In this article the method for estimating the values of the rate constants of adsorption and desorption by non-linear relaxation times for this process is described. The previously found CO2 dissociative adsorption mechanism was proved by the obtained results. The intervals of values changes of the rate constants of adsorption and desorption of carbon dioxide on the gallium oxide and chromium oxide catalysts were defined.Forcitation:Kol’tsov N.I.

The possibility of modifying polyethylene and many other polymers with high energy radiation has led to many useful applications. Due to their new combination of properties and the shortage of experimental data, the radiolysis of a new class of materials, cyclo-olefin copolymers (COC), polymerised from norbornene and ethylene using metallocene catalysts, is of great interest to the study of radiation chemistry and the physics of polymeric systems. Ethylenenorbornene copolymer, pristine and containing an antioxidant were subjected to gamma irradiation in the presence of air and in water. The irradiated copolymer was studied using IR and UV-vis spectrophotometric analysis. The radiation-induced changes in the molecular structure were correlated to changes in the glass transition temperature measured by the DSC method.

Experiments have been performed to study the rate of internal radiative heating on the natural convective motion in a vertical rectangular enclosure irradiated from the side. A Mach–Zehnder interferometer has been used to determine the temperature field, and a fluorescing dye injection technique was employed to illustrate the flow structure with water as the working fluid. A theoretical model is developed for predicting the absorption of thermal radiation and the subsequent buoyancy-driven flow. Predictions based on spectral calculations for the radiation flux divergence agree well with the experimental data.

Ionizing radiation-induced cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been well documented. However, the mechanisms of CVD genesis are still not fully understood. In this study, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to gamma irradiation at different doses ranging from 0.2 Gy to 5 Gy. Cell viability, migration ability, permeability, oxidative and nitrosative stresses, inflammation, and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) pathway activation were evaluated postirradiation. It was found that gamma irradiation at doses ranging from 0.5 Gy to 5 Gy inhibited the migration ability of HUVECs without any significant effects on cell viability at 6 h and 24 h postirradiation. The decreased transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), increased permeability, and disruption of cellular junctions were observed in HUVECs after gamma irradiation accompanied by the lower levels of junction-related proteins such as ZO-1, occludin, vascular endothelial- (VE-) cadherin, and connexin 40. The enhanced oxidative and nitrosative stresses, e.g., ROS and NO2- levels and inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were demonstrated in HUVECs after gamma irradiation. Western blot results showed that protein levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway molecules p38, p53, p21, and p27 increased after gamma irradiation, which further induced the activation of the NF-κB pathway. BAY 11-7085, an inhibitor of NF-κB activation, was demonstrated to partially block the effects of gamma radiation in HUVECs examined by TEER and FITC-dextran permeability assay. We therefore concluded that the gamma irradiation-induced disruption of cellular junctions in HUVECs was through the inflammatory MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract Aplastic anemia and myelogenous leukemia are prominent pathologic effects in beagles exposed to continuous, daily, low-dose gamma irradiation. In the present work, granulocyte reserves and related mobilization functions have been sequentially assessed by the endotoxin stress assay during the preclinical and clinical phases of these hemopoietic disorders. Characteristic patterns of granulocyte reserve mobilization are described that reflect given stages of pathologic progression. For radiation-induced leukemia, a five stage pattern has been proposed. In contrast, a simple pattern of progressive, time- dependent contraction of granulocyte reserves and mobilization capacity was noted in the development of terminal aplastic anemia. Early preclinical phases of radiation-induced leukemia appear to involve an extensive depletion of the granulocyte reserves ((phase I) during the first approximately 200 days of exposure followed by a partial renewal of the reserves and associated mobilization functions approximately 200 and 400 days (phase II). Sustained, subnormal granulocyte mobilizations (phase III) following endotoxin stress typify the responses of dogs during the intermediate phase, whereas late preclinical, preleukemic stages (phase IV) are characterized by a further expansion of the reserves and in the mobilization capacities, particularly of the less mature granulocytes. Such late alterations in the pattern of granulocyte mobilization, together with other noted cellular aberrancies in the peripheral blood and marrow, appear to indicate leukemia (phase V) onset.

A thermodynamic model is presented to describe the combined freezing and thawing process for living cells. Continuous changes in the cell volume are predicted according to the thermal protocol imposed on the system. Experimental verification of the model is sought by monitoring continuously the volume of cells as frozen on a cryomicroscope. The volumes of individual cells are measured from sequential photomicrographs by a computerized image analysis technique. The model and experimental data are in quite close agreement for the freezing process, but upon thawing the experimentally measured volumes consistently increased much more rapidly than predicted by the model. The model can be made to conform to the data by accounting for a substantial influx of electrolyte to the cell at subfreezing temperatures.
