As part of the continuing investigation of the thermal cis- 1, 3, 5-hexatriene to 1,3-cyclohexadiene rearrangement, four new trienes and a cross-conjugated pentaene have been prepared and their thermal reactions studied. A new route to the synthesis of highly substituted trienes has been developed. The synthesis of three of these...
The 105,000 x g supernatant fluid (S[subscript HS]) from extracts of pea seedlings
(Pisum sativum, var. Alaska) etiolated for 60 hours yielded a
very potent adenosine triphosphatase activity. This activity was designated
as an apyrase when the reaction stoichiometry indicated that
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was hydrolyzed to adenosine monophosphate
(AMP)...
The purpose of this work was to investigate possibilities
of raising lavender in Oregon of desirable qualities and.
yield. This was carried out by analysis and study of the
properties of the oil obtained therefrom in order that a
comparison with other kinds of lavender oil might be made.
It...
This work investigates the relationship between the local structure and physical properties of a set of classical (MgTiO3, CaTiO3, SrTiO3, and BaTiO3) and complex ((1-x)Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3-x(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3[BZT-BCT], Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 [NBT]) perovskite electroceramics. The materials in this work were synthesized via standard solid state ceramic synthesis, the structure was investigated through a number of...
The infrared spectra of the metaborate monomer and trimer
ions in NaC1, KC1, and KBr were studied. These spectra contain
bands due to the trimer in solid solution, in a second phase of the appropriate
potassium or sodium salt, and perhaps on adjacent lattice
sites. Furthermore, complex equilibria exist between...
