The paper presents research on chloride minerals of natural origin from Kłodawa (Poland), i.e., colorless, blue and purple halite as well colorless sylvite. Selected samples were studied by chemical analysis (ICP-OES, ICP-MS, titration methods) crystallographic measurements. Then, for the tested halides, was carried out using far-infrared spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies confirmed simple way...

PURPOSE To determine the position on the X chromosome of the gene responsible for a spontaneous mouse mutation, nob (no b-wave), which matches the phenotype of complete X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) type 1 in human. METHODS Inter- and intraspecific pedigrees were generated, and the phenotype of each mouse was scored on the basis of either the presence or the absence of...

We report the dispersed fluorescence spectra of the linear and the previously well-studied T-shaped isomers of Ar–I2 following B←X optical excitation for vpump516– 26, below the I2 dissociation limit. The linear isomer has a continuum excitation spectrum. For excitation at the highest pumping energy (vpump526), the product vibrational state distribution is nearly identical to that observed for ...

We report on the detection with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) of a molecular band at 57.5 μm (174 cm) in carbon-rich evolved stars and in Sgr B2. Taking into account the chemistry of these objects the most likelihood carrier is a carbon chain. We tentatively assign the band to the ν5 bending mode of C4 for which a wavenumber of 170-172.4 cm has been derived in matrix experiments (Withey ...

PURPOSE We aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of Tempofilter II (B. Braun, Melsungen, Germany) implantation to prevent pulmonary embolism in patients with lower-extremity fractures and proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of patients with lower limb fractures and proximal DVT who were implanted with Tempofilter II devices from May 2004 to August 2009 we...

Sub-Doppler excitation spectroscopy in a collimated cold supersonic beam of 5% NO seeded in argon has been performed with a spectral resolution down to 10 MHz for four vibronic bands within the perturbed B ?X A system of NO . The rotational temperature of about 15 K achieved by adiabatic cooling allows the separation of closely lying vibronic bands which overlap in absorption spectra ...
