Features of Investigation into the Properties of Glasses and Melts from the Late 19th Century to the Present Day

The evolution of investigations into glass properties is described with the use of the SciGlass information system on the basis of an analysis of the world literature on glass from the end of the 19th century to the present day. Variations in the total amount of published data, in the interest of researchers in certain glass components and their properties, in the specific features of forming research groups, and in the general quality of publications are considered. Measures are proposed that can prevent a further decline in the quality of published experimental results.     

硫脲型整合树脂在分析上的应用 Ⅰ.岩样中微量银的中子活化分析

前言银和其他贵金属元素一样,在地壳中比较稀少,按其自然丰度为第67号元素,平均含量仅0.07 ppm。由于地质样品成分非常复杂,为测定其微量银,必须进行严格的化学分离。但是迄今文献中报道的许多分离分法,步骤都相当冗长,一般采用氯化银反     

The effect of charge relaxation on the electromagnetic radiation of an oscillating charged viscous drop

A dispersion equation for the capillary oscillations of a charged drop of incompressible liquid possessing a finite electric conductivity is derived with an allowance for the energy lost as a result of the electromagnetic wave emission. The magnitude of the electromagnetic radiation losses of the oscillating drop linearly increases with the electric conductivity and the surface mobility of charge carriers.     

Amplification of c-myc proto-oncogene in primary tumors, metastases and blood leukocytes of patients with ovarian cancer

The structure of DNA sequences homologous to the viral myc oncogene from ovarian tumours, intact tissues and the same patients peripheral blood leukocytes has been studied. The Southern blot analysis of malignant tumour DNA reveals amplification of c-myc protooncogene of 3 from 11 patients. Metastases DNAs of two from those patients also contain multiple copies of c-myc. No myc gene amplification has been detected in 6 examined benign ovarian tumours. The presence of extra copies of myc-related sequences has been shown in two from three DNA samples from peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with ovarian cancer.     

Relating blow moldability to large amplitude oscillatory shear behavior

The large amplitude oscillatory shear test has been used to discriminate subtle differences in nonlinear viscoelasticity between two high density polyethyene blow molding resins with different processability. Structural network theory was used to explain the subtle differences in terms of entanglement kinetics with remarkable accuracy. The resin with better shape retention characteristics in programmed parison blow molding was found to have a higher kinetic rate constant for molecular re-entanglement.
