We present a DHB approximation for excited hot nuclei and calculate the pairing gaps, binding energies, entropy and radii of several spherical and deformed nuclei. We show that the binding energy decreases as the temperature increases, as we would expect from the positive contribution of the thermal energy of the nucleons. The neutron, proton and charge radii of spherical nuclei increase as the temperature increases, while for the deformed 168 Er nucleus these quantities decrease up to T = 2 MeV , the temperature at which the deformation disappears, and increase above this temperature. The pairing interaction is taken into account self-consistently and studied as a function of the temperature: for the even Tin isotopes, the mean value of the neutron pairing gap is almost zero already at T = 1 MeV .

The perturbation theory developed in the preceding part of this series is used to calculate the properties of a set of molecular models which are formed by continuously varying the charges on the protons of the hydrogen molecule. The binding energies and heats of reaction of all such model molecules are calculated, and it is found that the thermochemical behaviour of the models reproduces several interesting features observed in the behaviour of real molecules. For these models the bonding energy of a molecule of type AB is usually greater than the mean value of this quantity for A 2 and B 2 , but this is due mainly to the reduction of the internuclear repulsion energy and not to the ionic-covalent resonance.

We propose to use the semi-classical Wigner-Kirkwood ħ expansion to calculate shell corrections for spherical and deformed nuclei. The expansion is carried out up to fourth order in ħ. A systematic study of Wigner-Kirkwood averaged energies is presented as a function of the deformation degrees of freedom. The shell corrections, along with the pairing energies obtained by using the Lipkin-Nogami scheme are used in the microscopic-macroscopic approach to calculate binding energies. The macroscopic part is obtained from a liquid drop formula with six adjustable parameters. Considering a set of 367 spherical nuclei, the liquid drop parameters are adjusted to reproduce the experimental binding energies, which yields a rms deviation of 630 keV.

Paired determinations of the hydraulic conductivity (Lv) of individually perfused capillaries in frog mesentery were measured at 22-25 and 5-8 degrees C. The mean value of the ratio of the hydraulic conductivity at 22-25 to that at 5-8 degrees C was 1.76 +/- 0.22 (SE) in 10 capillaries perfused with albumin in the Ringer perfusate and 1.81 +/- 0.11 in six capillaries perfused with Ringer alone. The ratio of Lp can be accounted for in terms of a 1.60-fold increase in water viscosity between 22-25 and 5-8 degrees C. The results conform to the hypothesis that the structure of the principal pathway for water across the capillary wall is invariant with temperature; models of the water pathway that imply a change in the number of pathways or a change in pathway structure with temperature are incompatible with these results. Temperature gradients across the tissue are negligible in these experiments; calculations show that in the presence of temperature gradients, which occur during tissue cooling or rewarming, transcapillary water flows due to thermoosmosis are likely to occur.

An investigation on the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of a heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHE) was carried out while being installed as a cooling mechanism on photovoltaic panels. The Ecohouse at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences in Muscat, Oman, was used as the case study. The experiment monitored the effect of temperature variations on PV-HPHE-induced power generation. The heat pipes were arranged in a double-sided condenser in a spanwise manner with spacing 50 mm in the center with an inclination angle of 3°. J-type thermocouples (exposed wire, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulated) with a tip diameter of 1.5 mm were used. The results indicated mean values of HTC that were measured at 2.346 W/m2 K. The findings showed that the HTC values possessed a minimal standard error from the effect of variations of the ambient temperature. The mean HTC value of 2.346 W/m2 K can be used in the succeeding experiments using the same novel PV-HPHE setup. Additional results showed the recorded variations from the mean value of the HTC effect on the HPHE heat flow generation, which resulted in a 29% increase in power performance efficiency using PV-HPHE.

Pd-Ce alloys exhibit various anomalies in physical properties due to mixed valences of Ce, and the anomalies are thought to be strongly related with the crystal structures. Since Pd and Ce are both heavy elements, relative magnitudes of (fcc-fpd) are so small compared with <f> that superlattice reflections, even if any, sometimes cannot be detected in conventional x-ray powder patterns, where fee and fpd are atomic scattering factors of Ce and Pd, and <f> the mean value in the crystal. However, superlattices in Pd-Ce alloys can be analyzed by electron microscopy, thanks to the high detectability of electron diffraction. In this work, we investigated modulated superstructures in alloys with 12.5 and 15.0 at.%Ce.Ingots of Pd-Ce alloys were prepared in an arc furnace under atmosphere of ultra high purity argon. The disc specimens cut out from the ingots were heat-treated in vacuum and electrothinned to electron transparency by a jet method.

The relative partition coefficients of krypton and xenon, and the regional blood flow in 27 superficial malignant tumour nodules in 22 patients with diagnosed tumours were measured using the 85mKr- and 133Xe-clearance method. In order to minimize the effect of biological variables on the measurements the radionuclides were injected simultaneously into the tumour. The distribution of the radiotracers was assumed to be in equilibrium at the beginning of the experiment. The blood perfusion was calculated by fitting a two-exponential function to the measuring points. The mean value of the perfusion rate calculated from the xenon results was 13 ± 10 ml/(100 g-min) [range 3 to 38 ml/(100 g-min)] and from the krypton results 19 ± 11 ml/(100 g-min) [range 5 to 45 ml/(100 g-min)]. These values were obtained, if the partition coefficients are equal to one. The equations obtained by using compartmental analysis were used for the calculation of the relative partition coefficient of krypton and xenon. The partition coefficient of krypton was found to be slightly smaller than that of xenon, which may be due to its smaller molecular weight.

SummaryIn the present paper described is a simple test for detecting soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) in blood. The test consists in mixing 1% protamine sulphate with diluted oxalated plasma or serum and reading the optical density at 6190 Å. In experiments with dog plasma, enriched with soluble fibrin complexes, it was shown that OD read in PS test is proportional to the amount of fibrin recovered from the precipitate. It was found that SFMC level in plasma increases in rabbits infused intravenously with thrombin and decreases after injection of plasmin with streptokinase. In both cases PS precipitable protein in serum is elevated indicating enhanced fibrinolysis. In healthy human subjects the mean value of OD readings in plasma and sera were found to be 0.30 and 0.11, while in patients with coronary thrombosis they are 0.64 and 0.05 respectively. The origin of SFMC in circulation under physiological and pathological conditions is discussed.

SummaryThe plasma tissue factor (TF) concentration was correlated to factor VII concentration (FVIIag) and factor VII activity (FVIIc) in 498 healthy volunteers ranging in age from 17 to 64 years. Immunoassays using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed for the determination of TF and FVIIag in plasma. The mAbs and the test systems were characterized. The mean value of the TF concentration was 172 ± 135 pg/ml. TF showed no age- and gender-related differences. For the total population, FVIIc, determined by a clotting test, was 110 ± 15% and the factor VIlag was 0.77 ± 0.19 μg/ml. FVII activity was significantly increased with age, whereas the concentration demonstrated no correlation to age in this population. FVII concentration is highly correlated with the activity as measured by clotting assay using rabbit thromboplastin. The ratio between FVIIc and FVIIag was not age-dependent, but demonstrated a significant difference between men and women. Between TF and FVII we could not detect a correlation.

SummaryThe plasminogen content was determined by a casein method in plasma and serum from 20 normal volunteers. The mean plasminogen content was found to be 10.1 ACU (the arbitrary caseinolytic unit defined in such a way that using a 3% casein solution and a digestion time of 20 min. at 37°C, 10 ACU gave an extinction of 0.300). No difference between serum and plasma regarding the plasminogen content was found.Plasminogen was determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from 2 ml plasma. The highest values found in the drained clots were 0.9 ACU/clot and 0.2 ACU/clot in the drained plus washed clots.Plasminogen was also determined in drained and drained plus washed clots prepared from plasma with added purified plasminogen. The plasminogen was recovered in the washing fluid. According to these tests, then, purified added plasminogen is washed out of the clots.The plasminogen content of 20 thrombi obtained post mortem was also determined. The mean value was found to be 0.7 ACU/cm thrombus. Judging from our results, the “intrinsic clot lysis theory” is not the main mechanism of clot dissolution.
