- Above 110 °C the symmetric di-methyl-pyrrolidinium iodide salt forms a plastic crystal phase of interest in the area of new electrolyte materials. In this study ab initio calculations of this material has been conducted in order to assign the vibrational spectra. Raman spectroscopy measurements on the solid salt as well as on the salt dissolved in different solvents has been performed and these have been compared to the theoretical spectra. Furthermore, Raman spectra as a function of temperature have been recorded to investigate possible changes in inter-ionic interaction and/or structure through the phase transition. 1 H NMR linewidth measurements as a function of temperature showed a large decrease in linewidth above 100 °C, attributed here to an increase in mobility in agreement with a previously reported phase transition at ∼ 110 °C. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Between 1977 and 1996, cytogenetic investigations were performed on 182 childhood (< or = 16 yr) acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL), constituting 94% (182 of 194) of all ALL patients diagnosed and treated at the Departments of Pediatrics, Lund and Malmo University Hospitals, Sweden, during these two decades. The cytogenetic analyses were successful in 152 cases (84%). The failure rate was higher for the ALL investigated before 1987 (30% vs. 4%, p < 0.0001), and also the incidence of cytogenetically normal cases was higher during 1977-86 (43% vs. 25%, p < 0.05). Clonal chromosomal abnormalities were found in 103 (68%) ALL. Structural rearrangements were detected, by chromosome banding alone, in 76 cases (50%). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to identify cases with t(12;21), 11q23 rearrangements, and 9p deletions, using probes for ETV6/CBFA2, MLL, and CDKN2A/B, in 72 cases from which cells in fixative and/or unstained metaphase preparations were available. In total, the most common structural rearrangements were del(9p) (17%), t(12;21) (15%), del(6q) (8%), and MLL rearrangements (4%). Six (32%) of nineteen cytogenetically normal ALL analyzed by FISH harbored cryptic abnormalities; three displayed t(12;21) and four had del(9p), one of which also carried a t(12;21). Five (45%) of the t(12;21)-positive ALL showed +der(21)t(12;21) or ider(21)(q10)t(12;21), resulting in the formation of double fusion genes. Among the more rare aberrations, eight structural rearrangements were identified as novel recurrent ALL-associated abnormalities, and nine cases harbored rearrangements previously not reported. Sixteen cases displayed karyotypically unrelated clones at different investigations. Seven ALL (5%) showed simple chromosomal changes, unrelated to the aberrations detected at diagnosis, during morphologic and clinical remission, and in all but one instance the patients remained in remission, with the abnormal clone disappearing in subsequent investigations. This indicates that the emergence of novel clonal chromosomal aberrations during remission in childhood ALL is rather common and does not by necessity predict a forthcoming relapse.

Enzyme flow immunoassay using a Protein G column for the screening of triazine herbicides in surface and waste water

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A method for screening of triazine herbicides in surface and waste water is presented. The method is based on an enzyme flow immunoassay (EFIA) for the detection of the free fraction of a horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-labelled antigen (tracer). This was accomplished by trapping the bound tracer fraction in a Protein G column, allowing the residual free tracer fraction to pass and be detected spectrophotometrically after incubation with an enzyme substrate. As compared with detecting the bound tracer fraction this reduces the regeneration requirements of the Protein G column used for capturing the bound fraction and, therefore, reduces assay time. A polyclonal antibody directed against simazine showed no reactivity towards tracers that were thiopropionic acid derivatives of atrazine, simazine and terbutylazine. It had good sensitivity towards tracers using derivatives of 2-chloro-4,6-(alkylamino)-s-triazines such as atrazine and simazine. The highest sensitivity was obtained with an Et/Cl/N-C5-HRP tracer because this tracer could be used in combination with the lowest concentration of antibody. The detection limit was 0.1 μgl-1 with a linear range between 0.1 and 10 μgl-1 and an assay throughput of 12 h-1. Natural water samples from various locations in Russia were analysed for triazines and the results were compared with a previously developed fluorescein flow immunoassay for triazines. The results were further verified by supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction combined with HPLC. The results show that the two immunoassays behave differently and that the sample matrix influences their performance, however, no false negative results were obtained. The possible reasons for the different results between the two immunoassays are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

The Potential of Using the Ion-Current Signal for Optimizing Engine Stability - Comparisons of Lean and EGR (Stoichiometric) Operation

- Ion current measurements can give information useful for controlling the combustion stability in a multi-cylinder engine. Operation near the dilution limit (air or EGR) can be achieved and it can be optimized individually for the cylinders, resulting in a system with better engine stability for highly diluted mixtures. This method will also compensate for engine wear, e.g., changes in volumetric efficiency and fuel injector characteristics. Especially in a port-injected engine, changes in fuel injector characteristics can lead to increased emissions and deteriorated engine performance when operating with a closed-loop lambda control system. One problem using the ion-current signal to control engine stability near the lean limit is the weak signal resulting in low signal-to-noise ratio. Measurements presented in this paper were made on a turbocharged 9.6-liter, six-cylinder natural gas engine with port injection. Each cylinder was individually controlled by a cylinder control module (CCM). A high turbulence combustion chamber was used to be able to operate with highly diluted mixtures. Comparisons between lean and EGR (stoichiometric) operation were made to investigate the potential of using the ion-current signal to control engine stability (cylinder-to-cylinder and cycle-to-cycle variations). A much stronger ion-current signal was found with EGR compared to lean operation, for the same load and comparable emissions.

- In 2000, the stream cipher SNOW was proposed. A few attacks followed, indicating certain weaknesses in the design. In this paper we propose a new version of SNOW, called SNOW 2.0. The new version of the cipher does not only appear to be more secure, but its implementation is also a bit faster in software.
