Thin Layer Method

Abstract The modeling with discrete methods of elastic media of infinite extent that are subjected to dynamic loads normally calls for the use of special transmitting (or nonreflecting) boundaries. One such discrete method is the thin layer method, which allows efficient computation of the Green's functions for layered soils of finite depth; its application to elastic half-spaces, however, requires that the infinite medium be represented by means of approximations that are analogous to transmitting boundaries. In this article, we explore the accuracy of two of these approximations in the context of the Green's functions for antiplane (or SH) line loads. We find that the paraxial approximation of Engquist - Majda gives good results, provided that a “buffer layer” with the same material properties as the half-space separates the computational domain from the transmitting boundary. While these results were studied from the point of view of the thin layer method, they apply equally well to models with finite elements or finite differences.

Chromatographic Detection

Abstract Two chromatographic methods, one a thin-layer technique and the other paper chromatography, were developed for five flavoring additives and submitted to collaborative study. The thinlayer method gave good results and proved to be a rapid and sensitive test. However, some of the features of the method required further study to improve the identification of the separated spots. A better test for coumarin and another solvent giving greater separation between the ethyl vanillin and veratraldehyde spots were developed. The modified method has been recommended for adoption as official, first action. Some analysts attained good results with the paper chromatographic test; others, even experienced analysts, got poor results. Some of the difficulty was traced to variations in composition of reagents, but the method needs further study to standardize conditions. This method was not recommended for adoption. The proposed chromatographic thin-layer method offers a rapid means of detecting ethyl vanillin, veratraldehyde (methyl vanillin), coumarin, piperonal (heliotropin), and vanitrope (propenyl guaethol).

The merits of the thin-layer method of Dolman and Gill to study the oxygen binding of haemocyanin were experimentally tested with haemocyanin obtained from arthropods and molluscs. The results show that, spectrophotometrically, oxyhaemocyanin from both arthropods and molluscs has a prominent absorption peak between 335 and 345 nm. Haemocyanin is more stable in the thin- layer preparation when compared with haemoglobin. At 35 °C a decrease in the initial absorbance value of less than 2% was found after three hours. For haemoglobin the initial value decreases nearly 10% during the same period. For a high-affinity haemocyanin such as Marisa cornuarietis (P⁵⁰ = 1,07 mmHg) the thin-layer method of Dolman and Gill (1978) shows better PO₂ resolution than other methods. The reason for this is that the dilution valve, which is absent in other thin-layer methods, intrinsically measures the resultant PO₂ values at very low tensions more accurately. In this study a step-by-step explanation of the technique is given. The calculations have been explained using real figures and examples. It is hoped that this detailed description will make this technique more readily available for use by respiratory physiologists.
