涡度相关法和静态箱／气相色谱法在生态系统呼吸观测中的比较

基于涡度相关法和静态箱／气相色谱法（箱式法）的碳通量观测数据，对比分析了两种方法在评价禹城冬小麦-夏玉米复种农田生态系统和海北高寒矮嵩草草甸生态系统呼吸中的差异．结果表明：在保证涡度相关法和箱式法观测数据质量的条件下，两种方法实时观测的夜间通量结果具有较好的一致性，相关系数达0．95～0．98；箱式法白天的观测结果与涡度相关法估算的白天生态系统呼吸值有较好的一致性，但前者普遍大于后者；两种方法测定生态系统呼吸日平均值的差异达极显著水平（P〈0．01），但二者的季节变化趋势较一致．在整个观测期内，冬小麦一夏玉米复种农田观测箱内外平均温差为1．8℃，涡度相关法较箱式法测定的生态系统呼吸日平均值偏低30．3％；高寒矮嵩草草甸观测箱内外平均温差为1．9℃，涡度相关法较箱式法测定的生态系统呼吸日平均值偏低31．4％．两种方法对生态系统生长季呼吸日平均值测定结果的偏差高于非生长季．

Low temperature heat capacity of (S)-ibuprofen

Molar heat capacities of ( S)-ibuprofen were precisely measured with a small sample precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 80 to 370 K. Experimental heat capacities were fitted into a polynomial equation of heat capacities ( C-p,C- m) with reduced temperature ( X), [ X = f(T)]. The polynomial equations for ( S)-ibuprofen were C-p,C- m(s) = - 39.483 X-4 - 66. 649 X-3 + 95. 196 X-2 + 210. 84 X + 172. 98 in solid state and C-p,C- m(L) = 7. 191X(3) + 4. 2774 X-2 + 56. 365 X + 498. 5 in liquid state. The thermodynamic functions relative to the reference temperature of 298. 15 K, H-T - H-298.15 and S-T - S-298.15, were derived for the( S)-ibuprofen. A fusion transition at T-m = (324. 15 +/- 0. 02) K was found from the C-p - T curve. The molar enthalpy and entropy of the fusion transition were determined to be (18. 05 +/- 0. 31) kJ.mol(-1) and (55. 71 +/- 0. 95) J.mol(-1).K-1, respectively. The purity of the ( S)-ibuprofen was determined to be 99. 44% on the basis of the heat capacity measurement. Finally, the heat capacities of ( S)-ibuprofen and racemic ibuprofen were compared.

Heat capacity and enthalpy of fusion of fenoxycarb

Fenoxycarb was synthesized and its heat capacities were precisely measured with an automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 79 to 360 K. The sample was observed to melt at (326.31 +/- 0.14) K. The molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion as well as the chemical purity of the compound were determined to be (26.98 +/- 0.04) kJ-mol(-1), (82.69 +/- 0.09) J-K-1-mol(-1) and 99.53% +/- 0.01%, respectively. The thermodynamic functions relative to the reference temperature (298.15 K) were calculated based on the heat capacity measurements in the temperature range between 80 and 360 K. The extrapolated melting temperature for the absolutely pure compound obtained from fractional melting experiments was (326.62 +/- 0.06) K. Further research on the melting process of this compound was carried out by means of differential scanning calorimetry technique. The result was in agreement with that obtained from the measurements of heat capacities.
