In the present work the formation of the interface between polycrystalline silver and thin films of titanium oxide was studied with photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Titanium oxide was deposited stepwise on 100 nm thick silver films by reactive magnetron sputtering allowing to study the evolution of the interface formation process. The process involves two steps: formation of thin layer of silver oxide and subsequent growth of the TiO2 film. For better understanding of the silver oxidation process, pure silver films were exposed to a low temperature Ar/O plasma for different time intervals providing a possibility to investigate early stages of the oxide film growth. 相似文献
Summary The direct capillary gas Chromatographic separation oftrans--ionone andtrans--damascone enantiomers is reported using heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin in polysiloxane as a suitable chiral stationary phase. The method described has been applied to determine the naturally occurring enantiomeric composition oftrans--ionone in the absolutes of the flowers ofBoronia megastigma Nees andOsmanthus fragrance Lour., Costus root oil (Saussurea lappa Clarke) as well as in odor concentrates of violet flowers (Viola odorata L.), fresh raspberries, carrots and vanilla pods. Furthermore, the optical purity oftrans--ionone in the solvent extracts of distilled alcoholic raspberry beverage, raspberry fruit juice concentrate and black tea was investigated.Trans--ionone was either isolated by headspace stripping in vacuo or by organic solvent extraction and subsequently enriched by multidimensional preparative Chromatographic techniques.Trans--damascone was isolated from Virginia tobacco extract and from black tea aroma and was enriched for direct chirospecific analysis by medium pressure liquid chromatography followed by multidimensional preparative capillary gas chromatography. The importance of chirality as an essential criterion for the discrimination of natural and nature-identical aromas is discussed briefly.
Chirale Analysen von Aroma-und etherischen Öl-Inhaltsstoffen Teil B. Direkte Trennung der Enantiomeren von trans--Ionon und trans--Damascon mittels Inklusionsgaschromatographie
Zusammenfassung Mit Heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin in Polysiloxan als chiraler stationärer GC-Phase können die Enantiomeren vontrans--Ionon undtrans--Damascon direkt stereodifferenziert werden. Mit der beschriebenen Methode wird die Enantiomerenzusammensetzung vontrans--Ionon in den Absolues vonBoronia megastigma Nées undOsmanthus fragrance Lour., in Costuswurzelöl (Saussurea lappa Clarke), in den Headspace-Konzentraten von Veilchenblüten, frischen Himbeeren, Karotten und Vanilleschoten sowie in den Lösungsmittelextrakten von Himbeergeist, Himbeerfruchtsaftkonzentrat und schwarzem Tee bestimmt.Trans--Ionon wurde aus den genannten Naturprodukten mit Hilfe von multidimensionalen präparativen chromatographischen Trenntechniken angereichert und isoliert.Trans--Damascon wurde durch die Kombination MPLC/präparative Capillargaschromatographie aus Virginia Tabakextrakt und aus dem Aromastoffspektrum von schwarzem Tee erhalten und in s eine Enantiomeren aufgetrennt. Die Bedeutung der Chiralität als Beurteilungskriterium zur Unterscheidung natürlicher und naturidentischer Aromastoffe wird kurz diskutiert.
Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce two cysteine residues into the hydrophilic regions of the pea vichlin polypeptide previously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutated polypeptide was expresed and the resultant protein was characterised by sodium dodecyl sulphatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The presence of both intra- and inter-polypeptide sulphydryl bonds was indicated by bands of different mobility from those of the native polypeptide. The association of mutated vicili polypeptides into disulphide-bonded aggregates within the yeast was not a random process, trimers being the major aggregate produced. When the mutated vicilin was extracted from yeast and purified, random aggregates of the vicilin polypeptide were formed. 相似文献
A hybrid fuel cell demonstrated pulse power capability at pulse power load simulations synonymous with electronics and communications equipment. The hybrid consisted of a 25.0 W Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) stack in parallel with a two-cell lead-acid battery. Performance of the hybrid PEMFC was superior to either the battery or fuel cell stack alone at the 18.0 W load. The hybrid delivered a flat discharge voltage profile of about 4.0 V over a 5 h radio continuous transmit mode of 18.0 W. 相似文献
Pyrolysis of lignin is one approach that has been investigated to upgrade this material into higher value products. However, there have been relatively few efforts to quantitatively model these reactions. This paper describes a methodology for modeling lignin pyrolysis which has been extensively developed for related materials like coal. The samples are characterized using pyrolysis experiments under a standard set of conditions, where the products are analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy and Field Ionization Mass Spectrometry (FIMS). Solvent extraction experiments are done to determine the extractables yields and elemental analysis is done to further constrain the model.
One lignin, produced from ethanol/water extraction of mixed hardwoods, was selected for the application of this modeling approach. The model was able to qualitatively predict the tar molecular weight distributions and quantitatively predict the variations of the gas and tar evolution rates and yields with heating rate for the calibration set of experiments. The model can be improved by more precise information on lignin structure, crosslinking chemistry, and tar transport mechanisms. It also needs to be validated by simulation of pyrolysis conditions at high heating rates and/or high pressures for which data is currently not available. 相似文献
Although alimentary intake of histamine can cause intoxication, legal limits for histamine content in the EU, exist for certain seafish species only. The present study suggests tolerable levels for fermented sausage, fish and cheese which are based on relating the amount of histamine not expected to cause any health effects after ingestion to typically consumed amounts of food. Limits of 500 and 400 mg/kg would seem to be justifiable for fermented sausage and cheese, respectively. For fish species other than those already regulated in EU, the “m”/”M” limits of 100 and 200 mg/kg can be adopted. These limits can be met by current food technology. 相似文献
