Exposure and removal of aldehyde groups during Feulgen acid hydrolysis were studied at a wide range of temperature and acid concentrations. Temperatures between 9 and 75degreesC were found to influence only the rate of the hydrolysis reaction over the entire range from high (6 M) to low (0.05 M) HCl concentrations. The temperature dependence was high, and around +5degreesC was sufficient to double the reaction rate. The influence of acid concentrations between 0.02 and 6 M was studied, and the extraction rates that determine the peak values of the Feulgen hydrolysis curve were found to depend in the same way on the (H+) concentration. A diagram is given that makes it possible to determine the time to reach the point during hydrolysis where the maximum amount of aldehyde groups are developed for a wide range of temperatures and acid concentrations. Temperatures slightly above room temperature in combination with high acid concentration is recommended for Feulgen hydrolysis.

ABSTRACTThe dielectric response of BaBi2Nb2O9 (BBN) thin films has been studied as a function of frequency over a wide range of temperatures. Both dielectric constant and loss tangent of BBN thin films showed a ‘power law’ dependence with frequency, which was analyzed using the Jonscher's universal dielectric response model. Theoretical fits were utilized to compare the experimental results and also to estimate the value of temperature dependence parameters such as n(T) and a(T) used in the Jonscher's model. The room temperature dielectric constant (ε') of the BBN thin films was 214 with a loss tangent (tanδ) of 0.04 at a frequency of 100 kHz. The films exhibited the second order dielectric phase transition from ferroelectric to paraelectric state at a temperature of 220 °C. The nature of phase transition was confirmed from the temperature dependence of dielectric constant and sponteneous polarization,respectively. The calculated Currie constant for BBN thin films was 4 × 105°C.

ABSTRACTRoom-temperature nanoimprint lithography (RT-NIL) using spin-coated hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) resin as the replication material was developed. HSQ pattern with 50 nm linewidth was successfully obtained by the RT-NIL. Postbaking temperature dependence of a HSQ imprinted depth on a mold linewidth was investigated. HSQ imprinted depth had a dependence on the mold linewidth. This revealed that the RT-NIL is suitable for the linewidths of below 1 mm. Furthermore, we have also developed a new imprinting technique that uses liquid-phase hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) as an alternative to the spin-coated HSQ resin. The liquid-phase HSQ imprint technique enabled fabrication of various HSQ patterns with a wide range of linewidths from 25 nm to 300 mm. Arbitrary patterns, including both submicron and greater than 100 micron patterns, were simultaneously replicated with a one-step imprint process, something very difficult to accomplish with spin-coated HSQ. Moreover, after imprinting, the residual HSQ layer in the compressed area was less than 10 nm thick.

The velocity of the retrograde transport of optically detectable particles was studied in isolated myelinated axons from Xenopus laevis at room temperature and with varying temperature. At room temperature (22–23.1 °C) the mean particle velocity was significantly different in some axons of the same animal. Results pooled from a number of axons did not indicate any significant difference in the average particle velocity in different animals. At room temperature, even though the mean particle velocity might differ between axons, the coefficient of variation of particle velocity in separate fibers tended to remain constant.The temperature dependence of mean particle velocity (V) could be adequately described by the relationship V = 0.26 exp 0.073T – 0.33, where V is in micrometres per second and T is degrees Celsius. Throughout the temperature range at which transport took place (approximately 5–35 °C) the coefficient of variation of particle velocity remained approximately constant at 0.40. All particles ceased their motion abruptly, and to some extent reversibly, at 37 °C. On morphological evidence, none of the effects of temperature appeared to be related to microtubule depolymerization.The results indicate that retrogradely transported particles with a wide range of velocities respond homogeneously to temperature changes. This supports the view that a common mechanism may underlie the motion of all the particles. No evidence was obtained that the differences between axons at room temperature could be attributed to the presence in separate axons of dissimilar proportions of faster and slower particles. Nor was the velocity–temperature characteristic in the region of room temperature sufficiently steep to explain the differences between axons. It is suggested that axons may differ in general mechanical or chemical properties so that the motion of all particles is affected uniformly.

AbstractThe 81Br and 127I NQR frequencies in (CH3NH3 ) 2HgBr4 and (CH3NH3 ) 2HgI4 , respectively, have been recorded from above 77 K to around room temperature. The resonance lines exist in a wide range of frequencies. An unusual temperature dependence of the resonance frequencies has been observed. Small 1H - 2D isotope effects have been observed between (CH3ND3 )2HgBr4 and (CH3NH3 ) 2HgBr4 . Both negative and positive frequency differences between the deuterated and the nondeuterated compound have been observed at 77 K. The relatively large asymmetry parameters in the iodine compound decrease with increasing temperature, indicating the existence of H-bonds. The present results are interpreted qualitatively by considering the effects of H-bonding, N - H • • • X, between the halogen atoms and the CH3NH3 ions which may undergo large molecular motions. It is suggested that not only frequency-lowering but also frequency-rising effects may be produced, depending on the direction of the H-bond, i.e., the angle between the Hg -X bond and the X • • • H bond.

The polycrystalline samples of Bi 1-x Gd x FeO 3 (x = 0, 0.1, and 0.2) multiferroic oxides have been synthesized by a solid-state reaction/mixed oxide technique. The preliminary X-ray structural analysis with room temperature diffraction data confirmed the formation of single-phase systems. Study of room temperature scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of the above samples exhibits a uniform distribution of plate- and rod-shaped grains throughout the sample surface with less porosity. The dielectric behavior of the materials was studied in a wide range of frequency (1 kHz–1 MHz) and temperature (30–400°C). The nature of temperature dependence of dc conductivity confirms the Arrhenius behavior of the materials. The frequency–temperature dependence of ac conductivity suggests that the material obeys Jonscher's universal power law. An increase in Gd -content results in the enhancement of spontaneous magnetization BiFeO 3 (BFO) due to the collapse of spin cycloid structure. The magnetoelectric coupling coefficient of BFO has been enhanced on Gd -substitution.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

Vitamin K4 was labelled with 99mTc with an efficiency higher than 97%. The compound was stable up to 24 h at room temperature, and its biodistribution in NMRI mice indicated its in vivo stability. Blood radioactivity levels were high over a wide range. 10% of the injected activity remained in blood after 24 h. Excretion was mostly via kidneys. Only the liver and kidneys concentrated appreciable amounts of radioactivity. Testis/soft tissue ratios were 1.4 and 1.57 at 6 and 24 h, respectively. Testis/blood ratios were lower than 1. In vitro studies with mouse blood indicated that 33.9 ±9.6% of the radioactivity was associated with RBCs; it was washed out almost completely with saline. Protein binding was 28.7 ±6.3% as determined by TCA precipitation. Blood clearance of 99mTc-l<4 in normal subjects showed a slow decrease of radioactivity, reaching a plateau after 16 h at 20% of the injected activity. In scintigraphic images in men the testes could be well visualized. The right/left testis ratio was 1.08 ±0.13. Testis/soft tissue and testis/blood activity ratios were highest at 3 h. These ratios were higher than those obtained with pertechnetate at 20 min post injection.99mTc-l<4 appears to be a promising radiopharmaceutical for the scintigraphic visualization of testes.

This work relates to the field of thermophysical parameters of refractory interstitial alloys. The isochoric heat capacity of cubic titanium carbide TiCx has been calculated within the Debye approximation in the carbon concentration  range x = 0.70–0.97 at room temperature (300 K) and at liquid nitrogen temperature (80 K) through the Debye temperature established on the basis of neutron diffraction analysis data. It has been found out that at room temperature with decrease of carbon concentration the heat capacity significantly increases from 29.40 J/mol·K to 34.20 J/mol·K, and at T = 80 K – from 3.08 J/mol·K to 8.20 J/mol·K. The work analyzes the literature data and gives the results of the evaluation of the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity СV of the cubic titanium carbide TiC0.97 based on the data of neutron structural analysis. It has been proposed to amend in the Neumann–Kopp formula to describe the high-temperature dependence of the titanium carbide heat capacity. After the amendment, the Neumann–Kopp formula describes the results of well-known experiments on the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the titanium carbide TiCx. The proposed formula takes into account the degree of thermal excitation (a quantized number) that increases in steps with increasing temperature.The results allow us to predict the thermodynamic characteristics of titanium carbide in the temperature range of 300–3000 K and can be useful for materials scientists.

A visible-light-induced direct α-oxygenation of N-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives has been successfully developed. Metalloporphyrin (ZnTPP) has been identified as an effective and inexpensive photocatalyst for this transformation with a wide range of substrates. This protocol provides a convenient route to afford the desired products in moderate to good yields at room temperature under air atmosphere.
