Mercarbide catalyst was studied for the ethoxylation of methanol and 1-heptanol. Mercarbide catalyst is very active for the narrow-range ethoxylation of 1-heptanol. The narrow distribution of ethoxylation units in the ethoxylates is elucidated by the constrained reaction on the mercarbide catalyst. In the proposed surface reaction scheme, the following points are presented. The relatively basic reactants, ethylene oxide and alcohols or ethoxylates, are adsorbed on the relatively acidic sites of the surface. There is a decrease of ethoxylation rate in each additional ethylene oxide insertion step, due to a smaller number of the ethylene oxide molecules adsorbed near the growing point of alcohol ethoxylates. The difference in ethylene oxide insertion rates with the numbers of oxyethylene units in the ethoxylate products causes peaking of the distribution

The natural variability in the enantiomeric distribution of biologically active chiral terpenoids in Solidago canadensis L. essential oil from Kumaon was evaluated by enantioselective capillary GC, capillary GC, and GC-MS. Germacrene D, a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, was noticed as the major compound, contributing 56.7%, 75.5% and 69.7% to the samples, while other constituents with variable compositions were limonene (0.2 to 12.5%), bornyl acetate (2.1 to 2.9%), δ-elemene (2.4 to 3.2), β-elemene (1.3 to 1.8%), and elemol (1.4 to 2.6%). The enantiomeric excess has been determined for germacrene D with (+)-enantiomer (>41.8% to >47%) dominating over the (-)-enantiomer in all the samples. Furthermore, there has been above 95% enantiomeric excess for ( R)-(+)-limonene (>95.1% to >99%), whereas moderate to low excess for (1 R)-(+)-α-pinene (>47.9%), and (1 S)-(-)-β-pinene (>30.3%) was established. Notably, only (-)-bornyl acetate was found as a single enantiomer with >99% enantiomeric excess. However, for all the identified chiral terpenoids, the enantiomeric distribution varied within only a narrow range in all the samples.

(111) oriented thin monocrystalline Ni films have been prepared by vacuum evaporation and examined by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. In high vacuum, at room temperature, a layer of NaCl was first evaporated onto a freshly air-cleaved muscovite substrate clamped to a copper block with attached heater and thermocouple. Then, at various substrate temperatures, with other parameters held within a narrow range, Ni was evaporated from a tungsten filament. It had been shown previously that similar procedures would yield monocrystalline films of CU, Ag, and Au.For the films examined with respect to temperature dependent effects, typical deposition parameters were: Ni film thickness, 500-800 A; Ni deposition rate, 10 A/sec.; residual pressure, 10-6 torr; NaCl film thickness, 250 A; and NaCl deposition rate, 10 A/sec. Some additional evaporations involved higher deposition rates and lower film thicknesses.Monocrystalline films were obtained with substrate temperatures above 500° C. Below 450° C, the films were polycrystalline with a strong (111) preferred orientation.

Abstract This article presents a history of the origins and development of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), from the publication of an article titled “A Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment of the Extremities and Back” (1958) until a compendium of thirteen guides was published in book form in 1971. The most recent, sixth edition, appeared in 2008. Over time, the AMA Guides has been widely used by US states for workers’ compensation and also by the Federal Employees Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, as well as by Canadian provinces and other jurisdictions around the world. In the United States, almost twenty states have developed some form of their own impairment rating system, but some have a narrow range and scope and advise evaluators to consult the AMA Guides for a final determination of permanent disability. An evaluator's impairment evaluation report should clearly document the rater's review of prior medical and treatment records, clinical evaluation, analysis of the findings, and a discussion of how the final impairment rating was calculated. The resulting report is the rating physician's expert testimony to help adjudicate the claim. A table shows the edition of the AMA Guides used in each state and the enabling statute/code, with comments.
