Hydrolysis of bis-p-methoxyphenyl phosphate ester (bis-p-MPPE) was studied in micellar solutions of cityltrimethylammoniumbromide n-C16H33N+(CH3)3Br- (CTABr) at pH-9.0. The hydrolysis followed first order kinetics with respect to bis-p-MPPE concentration. At the concentration of critical micelle concentration (CMC) the rate of hydrolysis increased with increasing CTABr concentration. Surfactant with cationic or polar head group form micelles in water with hydrocarbon like interior or polar groups at the surface and bind cationic solute. The binding constant of micelle for bis-p-MPPE and the rate constant in micellar pseudo phase were determined from kinetic data using the pseudophase model.

Amphiphilic pyridinium ketoximes 4-[1-(hydroxyimino)alkyl]-1-methylpyridinium bromides (1) and 1-alkyl-4-[1-(hydroxyimino)ethyl]pyridinium bromides (2) are isomeric cationic surfactants bearing the nucleophilic hydroxyimino group. They differ in the position of the nucleophilic function relative to polar head group and hydrophobic alkyl chain. The 4-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (PNPDPP) cleavage by the oximate anions generated from 1 and 2 was used as a model reaction for the investigation of the influence of the structure and lipophilicity of functional surfactants on their reactivity in micelles and microemulsions. The investigation of the model reaction in cationic micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), in non-ionic micelles (Triton X-100 and Brij 35) and in o/w microemulsion (isooctane/phosphate buffer/CTAB and butan-1-ol) has revealed that it is the lipophilicity which is the most important factor influencing the localization and reactivity of functional surfactants in nanoaggregates.

The basic dehydrohalogenation reactions of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDD) have been studied in cationic micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH). Different theoretical approaches are discussed, considering the fraction of micellar head group neutralized, β, as a constant, or supposing different kinds of variation in its value. The following two empirical expressions for β have been found: β = 0.8 + 0.5 ([NaOH] + [KBr]) for DDT, and β = 0.8 + 1 ([NaOH] + [KBr]) for DDD, and this is the best way to explain the experimental results.

Quantitative image analysis systems have been used for several years in research and quality control applications in various fields including metallurgy and medicine. The technique has been applied as an extension of subjective microscopy to problems requiring quantitative results and which are amenable to automatic methods of interpretation.Feature extraction. In the most general sense, a feature can be defined as a portion of the image which differs in some consistent way from the background. A feature may be characterized by the density difference between itself and the background, by an edge gradient, or by the spatial frequency content (texture) within its boundaries. The task of feature extraction includes recognition of features and encoding of the associated information for quantitative analysis.Quantitative Analysis. Quantitative analysis is the determination of one or more physical measurements of each feature. These measurements may be straightforward ones such as area, length, or perimeter, or more complex stereological measurements such as convex perimeter or Feret's diameter.

An important example of intracellular particles is encountered in silicosis where alveolar macrophages ingest inspired silica particles. The quantitation of the silica uptake by these cells may be a potentially useful method for monitoring silica exposure. Accurate quantitative analysis of ingested silica by phagocytic cells is difficult because the particles are frequently small, irregularly shaped and cannot be visualized within the cells. Semiquantitative methods which make use of particles of known size, shape and composition as calibration standards may be the most direct and simplest approach to undertake. The present paper describes an empirical method in which glass microspheres were used as a model to show how the ratio of the silicon Kα peak X-ray intensity from the microspheres to that of a bulk sample of the same composition correlated to the mass of the microsphere contained within the cell. Irregular shaped silica particles were also analyzed and a calibration curve was generated from these data.

The chemical inhomogenities in modern materials such as fibers, phases and inclusions, often have diameters in the region of one micrometer. Using electron microbeam analysis for the determination of the element concentrations one has to know the smallest possible diameter of such regions for a given accuracy of the quantitative analysis.In th is paper the correction procedure for the quantitative electron microbeam analysis is extended to a spacial problem to determine the smallest possible measurements of a cylindrical particle P of high D (depth resolution) and diameter L (lateral resolution) embeded in a matrix M and which has to be analysed quantitative with the accuracy q. The mathematical accounts lead to the following form of the characteristic x-ray intens ity of the element i of a particle P embeded in the matrix M in relation to the intensity of a standard S
