A new luminescence beam profile monitor is realized in the polarized hydrogen gas jet target at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. In addition to the spin polarization of the proton beam being routinely measured by the hydrogen gas jet, the luminescence produced by beam-hydrogen excitation leads to a strong Balmer series lines emission. A selected hydrogen Balmer line is spect...

A method has been developed for the determination of trace anion impurities in concentrated hydrogen peroxide. The method involves on-line decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, ion chromatographic separation and subsequent suppressed-type conductivity detection. H2O2 is decomposed in Pt-catalyst filled Gore-Tex membrane tubing and the resulting aqueous solution containing analytes is introduced t...

Alternating bands of acid and base formation have been detected along the length of the internodal cell of Nitella clavata when it is illuminated, while in the dark this phenomenon is minimal. Chloride influx occurs only or largely in the acid-extruding regions, and this is also a light-dependent ion movement. Chloride efflux is slightly dependent on illumination and is not localized as are H(+...

The hydrolysis of sodium borohydride as a source of hydrogen gas is studied at different mole ratios of H+ to NaBH4. The sulfonated porous carbon (SPC) is used as a source of hydrogen ion and catalyst. It is found that the sulfonated porous carbon exhibits high activity for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to generate hydrogen gas at room temperature in comparison to Amberlyst-15 and Nafion-NR50. The ki...

the structure of the nonaaquayttrium (iii) bromate, [y(h2o)9](bro3)3, at low temperature (100 k) has been studied by means of single-crystal x-ray diffraction. crystallography shows a hexagonal unit cell, space group p63/mmc (no. 194) with z = 2, a = b = 11.7104(11) å, c = 6.6259(5) å and v = 786.90(12) å3 at 100 k. the hydrated trivalent yttrium(iii) ion forms a tricapped trigonal prism, in wh...

It has been recently shown that the Bethe-Larkin formula for the energy losses of fast heavy-ion projectiles in dense hydrogen plasmas is corrected by the electron-ion correlations [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 075002 (2008)]. We report numerical estimates of this correction based on the values of gei(0) obtained by numerical simulations in [Phys. Rev. E 61, 3470 (2000)]. We also extend this result to...

1. Urinary sodium and hydrogen ion excretion was measured in four normal subjects before and after they had ingested 25 g of glucose. The subjects were studied during a sustained water diuresis after an overnight fast and after a 40 h fast. 2. After glucose had been ingested, urinary sodium excretion was reduced by approximately 40% but there was no change in urine flow. The decrease in sodium ...

In the dinuclear title complex, [Ag2Cl2(C7H8N2S)(C25H22P2)2]·0.5CH3CN, each Ag(I) ion displays a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry with two P atoms from two bis-(di-phenyl-phosphan-yl)methane (dppm) ligands, one bridging chloride ion, one terminal chloride ion and one terminal S atom from the N,N'-phenyl-thio-urea (ptu) ligand. The dppm ligands and the bridging chloride ion force the...
