Nuclear magnetic resonance variables

This is the first attempt to examine family-held ginseng landraces that have been in cultivation for several decades. Clearly, there is evidence of variation between these landraces. Although HPLC-DAD analysis clearly quantified ginsenoside levels and showed variability, it did not present unique characteristics that would rapidly identify each landrace. Currenfiy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methods are... 

Solid-state C variable-amplitude cross polarization magic-angle spinning (VACP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were acquired for the sorbitol samples. Proton decoupling was achieved by a two-pulse phase modulation (TPPM) sequence. Identical C spectra were measured for the y-form sorbitol samples, and a representative spectrum is shown in Figure 9.

If the unknown, neutral, oxygen-containing compound does not give the class reactions for aldehydes, ketones, esters and anhydrides, it is probably either an alcohol or an ether. Alcohols are readily identified by the intense characteristic hydroxyl adsorption which occurs as a broad band in the infrared spectrum at 3600-3300 cm-1 (O—H str.). In the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, the adsorption by the proton in the hydroxyl group gives rise to a broad peak the chemical shift of which is rather variable the peak disappears on deuteration. 

With the advent of advanced characterization techniques such as multiple detector liquid exclusion chromatography and - C Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the study of structure/property relationships in polymers has become technically feasible (l -(5). Understanding the relationship between structure and properties alone does not always allow for the solution of problems encountered in commercial polymer synthesis. Certain processes, of which emulsion polymerization is one, are controlled by variables which exert a large influence on polymer infrastructure (sequence distribution, tacticity, branching, enchainment) and hence properties. In addition, because the emulsion polymerization takes place in an heterophase system and because the product is an aqueous dispersion, it is important to understand which performance characteristics are influended by the colloidal state, (i.e., particle size and size distribution) and which by the polymer infrastructure.

For a given sequence, Bloch equations give the relationship between the explanatory variables, x, and the true response, i]. The / -dimensional vector, 0, corresponds to the unknown parameters that have to be estimated x stands for the m-dimensional vector of experimental factors, i.e., the sequence parameters, that have an effect on the response. These factors may be scalar (m — 1), as previously described in the TVmapping protocol, or vector (m > 1) e.g., the direction of diffusion gradients in a diffusion tensor experiment.2 The model >](x 0) is generally non-linear and depends on the considered sequence. Non-linearity is due to the dependence of at least one first derivative 5 (x 0)/50, on the value of at least one parameter, 6t. The model integrates intrinsic parameters of the tissue (e.g., relaxation times, apparent diffusion coefficient), and also experimental nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) factors which are not sufficiently controlled and so are unknown. 

To obtain the adsorbed amount as a function of pressure and temperature different variables can be measured adsorbed mass by means of a bedance, consumption of the sorptive gas by means of calibrated volumes, concentration changes in a carrier gas by means of gas chromatography, changes of the dielectric constant, heat of adsorption, nuclear magnetic resonance of special adsorptives, radiation dose of radioactive labelled gas.
