A recent study of the vibrational-to-vibrational (V-V) energy transfer between highly-excited oxygen molecules and ozone combines laser-flash photolysis and chemical activation with detection by time-resolved LIF [ ]. Partial laser-flash photolysis at 532 mn of pure ozone in the Chappuis band produces translationally-... 

Systems can possess different extents of complexity. To measure complexity, the information content of the system can be used. Application of information theory is increasingly finitful for modeling biological activities with regard to the symmetry of molecules. 

Reaction (1) usually proceeds readily provided the magnesium is activated with iodine and the water content does not exceed one per cent. Subsequent interaction between the magnesium ethoxide and water gives the highly insoluble magnesium hydroxide only a slight excess of magnesium is therefore necessary. 

An organozmc compound that occupies a special niche m organic synthesis is lodo methyhinc iodide (ICH2ZnI) It is prepared by the reaction of zinc-copper couple [Zn(Cu) zinc that has had its surface activated with a little copper] with diiodomethane m diethyl ether... 

Optically Inactive Chiral Compounds. Although chirality is a necessary prerequisite for optical activity, chiral compounds are not necessarily optically active. With an equal mixture of two enantiomers, no net optical rotation is observed. Such a mixture of enantiomers is said to be racemic and is designated as ( ) and not as dl. Racemic mixtures usually have melting points higher than the melting point of either pure enantiomer. 

In 1973 D-homo corticosteroids (109—112), eg, D-homo-9a- uoroprednisolone acetate (111) were reported to have antiinflammatory activity (107). Compounds such as 21-acetoxy-liP- uoto-9a-chloto-17aa-hydtoxy-D-homo-ptegn-4-en-3,20-dione (110) had especially strong topical activity with weak systemic activity (108). Other preparations of D-homocorticoids included... 

Sodium lauryl sulfate is available in solution, paste, and soHd forms. As a solution its activity ranges between 28—30%, and as a paste it is 55% active. With this detergent in a shampoo, inorganic salts can affect viscosity. In addition, the limited solubiHty of sodium lauryl sulfate requires its judicious use in low cloud point clear shampoo systems. 

Acetylene can be deterrnined volumetricaHy by absorption in Aiming sulfuric acid (or more conveniently in sulfuric acid activated with silver sulfate) or by reaction with silver nitrate in solution and titration of the nitric acid formed ... 

The alumina or sodium alurninosiHcate catalysts used to regenerate degraded working solutions lose activity with time as active soda sites are neutralized, but these too can be regenerated.

The action of redox metal promoters with MEKP appears to be highly specific. Cobalt salts appear to be a unique component of commercial redox systems, although vanadium appears to provide similar activity with MEKP. Cobalt activity can be supplemented by potassium and 2inc naphthenates in systems requiring low cured resin color lithium and lead naphthenates also act in a similar role. Quaternary ammonium salts (14) and tertiary amines accelerate the reaction rate of redox catalyst systems. The tertiary amines form beneficial complexes with the cobalt promoters, faciUtating the transition to the lower oxidation state. Copper naphthenate exerts a unique influence over cure rate in redox systems and is used widely to delay cure and reduce exotherm development during the cross-linking reaction. 

Spectral Sensitization. Photographic silver haHde emulsions ate active with light only up to about 500 nm. However, theh sensitivity can be extended within the whole visible and neat-H spectral region up to about 1200—1300 nm. This is reached by the addition of deeply colored dyes that transfer excited electrons or excitation energy to the silver haHde. 

Diphenylamine can also be produced by passing the vapors of aniline over a catalyst such as alumina, or alumina impregnated with ammonium fluoride (17). The reaction is carried out at 480°C and about 700 kPa (7 atm). Conversion per pass, expressed as parts diphenylamine per 100 parts of reactor effluent, is low (18—22%), and the unconverted aniline must be recycled. Other catalysts disclosed for the vapor-phase process are alumina modified with boron trifluoride (18), and alumina activated with boric acid or boric anhydride (19). 

In rats, the oxidative and reductive metaboHsm products have been identified as the 4-hydroxylated furan and [(3-cyano-l-oxopropyl)methyleneamino]-2-4-imidazohdinedione, respectively (27,42). In addition, the ease of electron transfer as a mechanism of activity with nitrofurantoin and nitrofurazone has been studied (43). 

A/ -Monosubstitution may result in greater activity, and will increase activity with a number of heterocycles A/ -disubstitution in general leads to inactive compounds. 

Total Quality Management. Total quahty management (TQM) is the term which encompasses all of the continuous improvement activities with the goal of world class quahty. This corporate culture sets up the conditions for a climate favorable to companywide improvement.
