abstract By using the accuracy inherent in ultrasonic velocity measurements taken at pressures less than 10 kb, the seismic parameter φ=vp2−(43)vS2 can be computed at very high pressures. The equation used requires the assumption that the second derivative with respect to pressure of the bulk modulus be negligible at all pressures considered. This assumption is checked by computing the compression (V/V0) in the pressure range by equations of state using the assumption, and comparing the resulting values with measured compression. Illustrations are given for MgO and Al2O3.

An in situ high pressure study using energy dispersive X-ray diffraction has been carried out on the polycrystalline high-Tc superconductor, HgBa2CuO4+δ (Hg-1201), to study its phase stability under pressure and also to measure its compressibility and bulk modulus. No evidence of pressure-induced polymorphism was found in the pressure range investigated, i.e., from 0.1 MPa (1 atm) to 5 GPa. The compound exhibited anisotropic elastic properties. The axial compressibility along the c axis was measured to be (3.96±0.35)×10−3GPa−1 and along the a axis (3.42±0.13)×10−3GPa−1, corresponding to an anisotropy ratio of 1.16±0.11. The bulk modulus was determined to be (94.7±4.2) GPa and, assuming a Poisson's ratio of 0.2, Young's modulus was estimated to be (170±8) GPa.


During the researches upon high-pressure explosions of carbonic oxide-air, hydrogen-air, etc., mixtures, which have been described in the previous papers of this series, a mass of data has been accumulated relating to the influence of density and temperature upon the internal energy of gases and the dissociation of steam and carbon dioxide. Some time ago, at Prof. Bone’s request, the author undertook a systematic survey of the data in question, and the present paper summarises some of the principal results thereof, which it is hoped will throw light upon problems interesting alike to chemists, physicists and internal-combustion engineers. The explosion method affords the only means known at present of determining the internal energies of gases at very high temperatures, and it has been used for this purpose for upwards of 50 years. Although by no means without difficulties, arising from uncertainties of some of the assumptions upon which it is based, yet, for want of a better, its results have been generally accepted as being at least provisionally valuable. Amongst the more recent investigations which have attracted attention in this connection should be mentioned those of Pier, Bjerrum, Siegel and Fenning, all of whom worked at low or medium pressures.

The responses of cerebral precapillary vessels to changes in arterial blood pressure were studied in anesthetized cats equipped with cranial windows for the direct observation of the pial microcirculation of the parietal cortex. Vessel responses were found to be size dependent. Between mean arterial pressures of 110 and 160 mmHg autoregulatory adjustments in caliber, e.g., constriction when the pressure rose and dilation when the pressure decreased, occurred only in vessels larger than 200 micron in diameter. Small arterioles, less than 100 micron in diameter, dilated only at pressures equal to or less than 90 mmHg; below 70 mmHg their dilation exceeded that of the larger vessels. When pressure rose to 170- 200 mmHg, small vessels dilated while the larger vessels remained constricted. At very high pressures (greater than 200 mmHg) forced dilation was frequently irreversible and was accompanied by loss of responsiveness to hypocapnia. Measurement of the pressure differences across various segments of the cerebral vascular bed showed that the larger surface cerebral vessels, extending from the circle of Willis to pial arteries 200 micron in diameter, were primarily responsible for the adjustments in flow over most of the pressure range.

Abstract Ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems operating at very high pressures and using sub-2 μm packing columns have allowed a remarkable decrease in analysis time and increase in peak capacity, sensitivity, and reproducibility compared to conventional HPLC. This technology has rapidly been widely accepted by the analytical community and is being gradually applied to various fields of plant analysis such as QC, profiling and fingerprinting, dereplication, and metabolomics. For many applications, an important improvement of the overall performances has been reported. In this review, the basic principles of UHPLC are summarized, and practical information on the type of columns used and phase chemistry available is provided. An overview of the latest applications to natural product analysis in complex mixtures is given, and the potential and limitations as well as some new trends in the development of UHPLC are discussed.

This paper reports the first-principles study of SnO under high pressure within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We have calculated the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of SnO. The elastic properties such as the elastic constants [Formula: see text], bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, anisotropic factor, Pugh’s ratio and Poisson’s ratio are calculated and analyzed. Mechanical stability of SnO at all pressures is confirmed using the Born’s stability conditions in terms of [Formula: see text]. It is also found that SnO exhibits very high anisotropy. The energy band structure and density of states are also calculated and analyzed. The results show the semiconducting and metallic properties at zero and high pressures, respectively. Furthermore, the optical properties are also calculated. All the results are compared with those of SnO where available but most of the results at high pressure are not compared due to the unavailability of results.

AbstractFirst-principles simulations and high-pressure experiments were used to study the stability of BaCO3 carbonates at high pressures. Witherite, which is orthorhombic and isotypic with CaCO3 aragonite, is stable at ambient conditions. As pressure increases, BaCO3 transforms from witherite to an orthorhombic post-aragonite structure at 8 GPa. The calculated bulk modulus of the post-aragonite structure is 60.7 GPa, which is slightly less than that from experiments. This structure shows an axial anisotropicc ompressibility and the a axis intersects with the c axis at 70 GPa, which implies that the pressure-induced phase transition reported in previous experimental study is misidentified. Although a pyroxene-like structure is stable in Mg- and Ca-carbonates at pressures >100 GPa, our simulations showed that this structure does not appear in BaCO3.

N2 coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) thermometry over a pressure range 1 to 50 atm has been studied. The CARS profile at high pressure and high temperature was recorded by using the ignition inside a running engine cylinder. The observed Q-branch profile was theoretically fitted by incorporating the collisional narrowing effect, serving for the temperature determination at various pressures. Because of the narrowing effect, the apparent band width showed little change with pressure above 5 atm in general. It has been suggested that the band width at 1/5 of the maximum height can be a useful measure of temperature, while the usual half-width turns out to be hardly practicable at high pressures.
