The fission fragment radiolysis of CO2 and the CO2–C3H8, CO2–NO2 systems is studied in comparison with the γ radiolysis. Two kinds of back reactions (re-oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide) are operative in the fission fragment radiolysis. One (a rapid back reaction) is the unidentified ionic chain reaction which proceeds at low CO concentrations, and the other (a slow back reaction) is assigned to a radical reaction (CO + O + CO2 → 2CO2 [3′]). This slow back reaction is a characteristic of the fission fragment radiolysis. The analysis of results gives an upper limit of the radius of fission fragment tracks in the reaction system, rρ < 1.04 μg cm−2.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, the development of a portable polymerase chain reaction (PCR) device is presented. Integrating electromagnetic mini-actuators for bi-directional fluid transport, the proposed device, whose dimension is 67mm × 66mm × 25mm, can be fully operated with a 5V DC voltage. The device consists of four major parts: A disposable channel chip in which PCR mixture is manipulated and reacted, a heater chip which generates different temperature zones for PCR reaction, a linear actuator array for pumping PCR mixture, and a circuit module for controlling and driving the system. The advantages of the device include the rapid temperature responses associated with continuous-flow-type PCR devices, as well as the programmable thermal cycling associated with chamber-type PCR devices. The thermal characteristics are measured and discussed. PCR amplification is successfully performed for the 122 bp segment of MCF-7/adr cell line. Due to its small footprint, this self-contained system potentially can be employed for point-of-care (POC) applications.

For understanding the regulation of sodium reabsorption, it is important to know whether the alpha 2- or alpha 3-isoform of Na-K-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) is expressed in mammalian kidney in addition to the predominant alpha 1 beta 1-isozyme. Here we applied competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for estimation of mRNA in parenchymal zones of rat kidney for comparison to high-affinity [3H]ouabain binding. The alpha 3-isoform mRNA was demonstrated to form 0.04-0.05% of the amount of alpha 1-isoform mRNA in the cortex, medulla, and papilla of rat kidney. The alpha 2-mRNA was demonstrated in all three zones and constituted 0.03% of the amount of alpha 1-mRNA in cortex. The abundance of the alpha 1 truncated mRNA was 0.1-0.8% of that of the alpha 1-mRNA. The upper limit for expression of Na-K-ATPase isozyme with high ouabain affinity (dissociation constant, 69-141 nM) was 0.096-0.14% of the concentration of alpha 1 beta 1-Na-K-ATPase. Thus a small but well-defined pool of alpha 2- and alpha 3-isoforms constitutes < or = 0.1% of the amount of alpha 1-isoform at both the mRNA and protein level in rat kidney.

The oxidation of cyclohexane with H2O2 in a compressed CO2/acetic acid binary system was studied at 60.0 and 80.0°C, at pressures up to 18 MPa, and with the zeolite TS-1 as catalyst. The phase behaviour of the reaction system was also observed. There are three fluid phases in the reaction system at lower pressure but two at higher pressures. In the three-phase region the yields of the products, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, increase considerably with increasing pressure and reaches a maximum near the phase-separating pressure. CO2 can thus enhance the reaction effectively. However, the effect of pressure on the yield is very limited after the transition to a two-phase system.
