Wave numbers of C=O valence vibrations of 83 ferrocene derivatives have been measured in tetrachloromethane. For a series of 154 compounds containing ferrocene skeleton linear correlation has been found between wave numbers of C=O vibration and X+(R) constants of structural fragments in the sense of modified and extended Seth-Paul-Van Duyse equation. Validity has been verified of the recently derived empirical relation for calculation of the X+(R) constants of complex structural fragments from values of constants of substituents and transmission factors for simple structural groupings. The transmission factors γ and π' for 1,3- and 1,1'-ferrocene system have been found to be well applicable to calculation of constants of structural fragments containing ferrocene skeleton.

The method of conjugate deviations based on the regression analysis has been suggested for construction of a new nucleophilicity scale. This method has been applied to a set of 28 nucleophiles participating in 47 physical and chemical processes described in literature. The two-parameter nucleophilicity scale obtained represents-in the parameter denoted as ND-the general tendency to form a bond to an electrophile predominantly on the basis of the orbital interaction and-in the parameter denoted as PD-the ability to interact with a centre similar to the proton (basicity). The linear correlation equation involving the ND, PD parameters and the charge appears to be distinctly better than the most significant relations used. The correlation dependences have the physico-chemical meaning. From the position of individual nucleophiles in the space of the ND and PD parameters, some general conclusions have been derived about the factors governing the reactivity of nucleophiles.

AbstractWe report a shipping container that enables a disruptive logistics for cytogenetic biodosimetry for radiation countermeasures through pre-processing cell culture during transportation. The container showed precise temperature control (< 0.01 °C) with uniform sample temperature (< 0.1 °C) to meet the biodosimetry assay requirements. Using an existing insulated shipping box and long shelf life alkaline batteries makes it ideal for national stockpile. Dose curve of cytogenetic biodosimetry assay using the shipping container showed clear dose response and high linear correlation with the control dose curve using a laboratory incubator (Pearson’s correlation coefficient: 0.992). The container’s ability of pre-processing biological samples during transportation could have a significant impact on radiation countermeasure, as well as potential impacts in other applications such as biobanking, novel molecular or cell-based assays or therapies.

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic trace element emitted from coal conversion and utilization. Samples with different coal ranks and gangue from Ningwu Coalfield are selected and investigated in this study. For understanding dependence of mercury distribution characteristics on coalification degree, Pearson regression analysis coupled with Spearman rank correlation is employed to explore the relationship between mercury and sulfur, mercury and ash in coal, and sequential chemical extraction method is adopted to recognize the Hg speciation in the samples of coal and gangue. The measured results show that Hg is positively related to total sulfur content in coal and the affinity of Hg to different sulfur forms varies with the coalification degree. Organic sulfur has the biggest impact on Hg in peat, which becomes weak with increasing the coalification degree from lignite to bituminous coal. Sulfate sulfur is only related to Hg in peat or lignite as little content in coal. However, the Pearson linear correlation coefficients of Hg and pyritic sulfur are relatively high with 0.479 for lignite, 0.709 for sub-bituminous coal and 0.887 for bituminous coal. Hg is also related to ash content in coal, whose Pearson linear correlation coefficients are 0.504, 0.774 and 0.827 respectively, in lignite, sub-bituminous coal and bituminous coal. Furthermore, Hg distribution is directly depended on own speciation in coal. The total proportion of F2 + F3 + F4 is increased from 41.5% in peat to 87.4% in bituminous coal, but the average proportion of F5 is decreased from 56.8% in peat to 12.4% in bituminous coal. The above findings imply that both Hg and sulfur enrich in coal largely due to the migration from organic state to inorganic state with the increase of coalification degree in Ningwu Coalfield.

Three distinct four-component supramolecular nanorotors were prepared, using, for the first time, bipyridine instead of phenanthroline stations in the stator. Following our established self-sorting protocol to multicomponent nanodevices, the nanorotors were self-assembled by mixing the stator, rotators with various pyridine head groups, copper(I) ions and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Whereas the exchange of a phenanthroline vs. a bipyridine station did not entail significant changes in the rotational exchange frequency, the para-substituents at the pyridine head group of the rotator had drastic consequences on the speed: 4-OMe (k298 = 35 kHz), 4-H (k298 = 77 kHz) and 4-NO2 (k298 = 843 kHz). The exchange frequency (log k) showed an excellent linear correlation with both the Hammett substituent constants and log K of the copper(I)–ligand interaction, proving that rotator–copper(I) bond cleavage is the key determining factor in the rate-determining step.

Some recent studies exposed preliminary but rather intriguing statistical evidence of in vacuo dispersion-like spectral lags for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), a linear correlation between time of observation and energy of GRB particles, which is expected in some models of quantum geometry. Those results focused on testing in vacuo dispersion for the most energetic GRB particles, and in particular only included photons with energy at emission greater than 40 GeV. We here extend the window of the statistical analysis down to 5 GeV and find results that are consistent with what had been previously noticed at higher energies.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Myeloma diagnosis by a pathologist requires 10% plasma cells (PC) or a biopsy proven plasmacytoma in addition to myeloma defining events. PC% &gt; 60% is a biomarker of malignancy under this definition. WHO allows for assesment of plasma cell percentage either by aspirate count or by CD138 immunohistochemistry (IHC). There is lack of consensus on aspirate smear adequacy for PC% estimation. Uneven distribution of plasma cells, hemodilution and/or patchy infiltration can lead to gross underestimation. We compared PC% by aspirate count and CD138 IHC and established corelation with serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) values. Methods 67 myeloma cases were included after excluding cases with suboptimal or inadequate aspirate smears. Two hematopathologists evaluated the diagnostic marrow (therapy naive) for PC% by aspirate count and CD138 IHC on biopsy/clot section. Corresponding SPEP and Free light chain (FLC) values were obtained. Correlation coefficent was calculated using Pearson correlation coefficient (GraphPad Prism). Results The Ig subtypes included IgG (41/67) and IgA (17/67). 12 cases had available FLC values. Both average and median PC% by CD138 IHC was considerably higher (50%, 52%) compared to aspirate count (29%, 21%). However, PC% by aspirate smear count and CD138 IHC demonstrated a significant linear correlation (r=0.71, p60% by CD138 (and not by aspirate count). Conclusion CD138 IHC based PC% is consistently higher, nevertheless, statistically significant linear corelation is observed between aspirate count PC% and CD138 IHC. A significant linear correlation is observed between CD138 IHC and SPEP (IgG and IgA), however, no such correlation is observed with aspirate count. More cases were diagnosed as myeloma (11%) and higher propotion of cases (35%) had biomarker of malignancy i.e. PC% &gt;60% by CD138 IHC. Based on these findings, we propose estimation of PC% by CD138 immunostain be a recommended standard practice for better clinicopathologic and biologic correlation.
