In earlier studies it was established that internal molecular energies (Eint) of alkanes can be reproduced, in an approximate yet reliable manner by means of a molecular-graph-based structure-descriptor U. It was also established that U is linearly correlated with the Wiener index W. We now show that the correlation between U and W is more complicated than earlier expected, and that it cannot be represented by a single line. We also show that a very good linear correlation exists between U and a modified version Wm(?) of the Wiener index, which is thus more suitable for modeling Eint than the ordinary Wiener index. .

The Wiener index Wis the oldest molecular-graph-based structure-descriptor. It is defined as the sum of the distances of all pairs of vertices of the molecular graph G, where the distance is the number of edges in the shortest path connecting the respective vertices, and where G is the hydrogen-depleted molecular graph. This seemingly very simple topological index could be "upgraded" (a) by using as the distance the sum of the bond lengths along the shortest path, or (b) by using the Euclidean distance between the respective pairs of atoms. Each of these "upgraded" Wiener indices could be computed either (?) for the hydrogen- depleted or (?) for the hydrogen-filled molecular graph. We provide examples showing that none of the modifications (a?), (a?), (b?), (b?) yields better results than the ordinary Wiener index, and that there is a very good linear correlation between W and its "upgraded" variants.

The Laplacian energy LE is a newly introduced molecular-graph-based analog of the total ?-electron energy E. It is shown that LE and E have a similar structure-dependency only when molecules of different sizes are compared, when a good linear correlation between them exists. Within classes of isomers, LE and E are either not correlated at all or (as in the case of acyclic systems) are inversely proportional. The acyclic graphs and molecular graphs having the greatest and smallest LE values (determined in this work) differ significantly from those (previously known) having the greatest and smallest E values.

ABSTRACT Two mold species, Stachybotrys chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor, were inoculated onto agar overlaid with cellophane, allowing determination of a direct measurement of biomass density by weighing. Biomass density, ergosterol content, and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (3.2.1.52) activity were monitored from inoculation to stationary phase. Regression analysis showed a good linear correlation to biomass density for both ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. The same two mold species were inoculated onto wallpapered gypsum board, from which a direct biomass measurement was not possible. Growth was measured as an increase in ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. A good linear correlation was seen between ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity. From the experiments performed on agar medium, conversion factors (CFs) for estimating biomass density from ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity were determined. The CFs were used to estimate the biomass density of the molds grown on gypsum board. The biomass densities estimated from ergosterol content and beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity data gave similar results, showing significantly slower growth and lower stationary-phase biomass density on gypsum board than on agar.

Abstract The latex and natural rubber from rubber trees [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. exAdr. de Juss.) Muell. Arg.] from clones (RRIM 600, IAN 873, GT 1 and PB 252) recommended to the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were studied in three different tapping systems. The parameters studied were dry rubber content (DRC), percentages of ash and of nitrogen, Wallace Plasticity (P0) and Mooney Viscosity (VR). The rubber properties vary considerably as a function of clone type, tapping method and season of the year. DRC tends to decrease in the beginning of the dry, cold season (May and June), whereas both nitrogen % and ash % increase in the same period. A good linear correlation was obtained for P0 and VR. The highest P0 and VR were obtained for RRIM 600.

The effect law and mechanism of limestone powder on autogenous shrinkage of concrete was studied. The results indicate that limestone powder accelerates autogenous shrinkage speed of concrete on which effect of fineness is little, and limestone powder reduces autogenous shrinkage which decreases with the increase of fineness. The change law of autogenous shrinkage of concrete is consistent with that of chemically combined water of paste. Autogenous shrinkage of concrete is also divided into 2 stages according to the initial vapor saturated stage and subsequent reduction stage of interior relative humidity, with both showing a good linear correlation at each stage.

<p>A simple linear empirical relationship between high intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity K, and Debye temperature θ<em><sub>a</sub></em> is suggested from data on high intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity K, and Debye temperature θ<em><sub>a</sub></em> for some selected II-VI and III-V cubic zincblende type, and I-VII and II-VI rock-salt type binary semiconductors. A good linear correlation between Debye temperature and the high intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity was obtained. The minimum average percentage deviations in the present approach reveal that our simple model prove its identity and soundness compared to those of other author relations.</p>

A method for determination of imidacloprid in Chinese Cabbage was established by using UPLCMS/MS. and the samples are extracted with acetontrile,and the extract is cleaned up by Florisil SPE cartridges and evaporated.Choromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column,and determined by UPLC-MS/MS.The external standard calibration curves were used for quantification. The results showed that a good linear correlation was obtained in the range of 0.005-0.1ug/mL. The limit of quantif icat ion w as 0. 008 mg/ kg .The average recoveries and the relative standard deviations were in the range of 84.9 %~92.7 % and 0.9 %~6.2 %, respectively. It is applicable to the determination of imidacloprid redidue in Chinese cabbage.

A kinetic energy analysis of total energy differences in 822 atomic multiplets arising from smdn (m = 0,1,2; n = 2–8) electronic configurations is performed within the nonrelativistic, restricted Hartree–Fock framework. For the 444 multiplets arising from the dn and s2dn configurations of 27 atoms in groups 2–10, a very good linear correlation between the total energy difference and the kinetic energy difference of the outermost d-electrons is demonstrated. For the 378 multiplets arising from the sdn configuration, on the other hand, a good linear correlation is obtained provided that the multiplets are classified into groups based on spin multiplicity. Key words: kinetic energy, atomic multiplets, smdn configurations, Hartree–Fock approximation.

77Se chemical shifts of compounds CF3SeX exhibit an extraordinary good linear correlation with Huggins‘ electronegativities of χx. A range of 1051 ppm is covered for χx values between 1.9 and 3.15. Effective electronegativities are derived from the δ(77Se) values. For some compounds unexpected 77Se chemical shifts are found. This indicates an uncommon electronic constitution at selenium. Electron excitation energies are reported for some of the compounds and their importance for the paramagnetic shielding term is discussed. The relative shieldings of the tellurium compounds are analogous to those of the corresponding selenium compounds. In contrast to 77Se, the 19F shieldings of CF3EX compounds (E = chalcogen) depend inversely on the electronegativity of E and X. The 13C chemical shifts do not correlate with the χx values. NMR data of some CF3Se(IV) and CF3Te(IV) compounds are also reported for comparison
