One-dimensional self-similar solution of the dynamics of axisymmetric slender liquid bridges

In this paper the dynamics of axisymmetric, slender, viscous liquid bridges having volume close to the cylindrical one, and subjected to a small gravitational field parallel to the axis of the liquid bridge, is considered within the context of one-dimensional theories. Although the dynamics of liquid bridges has been treated through a numerical analysis in the inviscid case, numerical methods become inappropriate to study configurations close to the static stability limit because the evolution time, and thence the computing time, increases excessively. To avoid this difficulty, the problem of the evolution of these liquid bridges has been attacked through a nonlinear analysis based on the singular perturbation method and, whenever possible, the results obtained are compared with the numerical ones.

One-dimensional linear analysis of the compound jet

The stability of an infinitely long compound liquid column is analysed by using a one-dimensional inviscid slice model. Results obtained from this one-dimensional linear analysis are applicable to the study of compound capillary jets, which are used in the ink-jet printing technique. Stability limits and the breaking regimes of such fluid configurations are established, and, whenever possible, theoretical results are compared with experimental ones.

One-dimensional linear analysis of the liquid injection or removal in a liquid bridge

The filling-withdrawal process of a long liquid bridge is analyzed using a one-dimensional linearized model for the dynamics of the liquid column. To carry out this study, a well-known standard operational method (Laplace transform) has been used, and time variation of both liquid velocity field and interface shape are obtained.

Adsorption from a one-dimensional lattice gas and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation

An exact treatment of adsorption from a one-dimensional lattice gas is used to eliminate and correct a well-known inconsistency in the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (B.E.T.) equation—namely, Gibbs excess adsorption is not taken into account and the Gibbs integral diverges at the transition point. However, neither model should be considered realistic for experimental adsorption systems.

Symmetry in chemistry from the hydrogen atom to proteins

The last 2 decades have seen discoveries in highly excited states of atoms and molecules of phenomena that are qualitatively different from the “planetary” model of the atom, and the near-rigid model of molecules, characteristic of these systems in their low-energy states. A unified view is emerging in terms of approximate dynamical symmetry principles. Highly excited states of two-electron atoms display “molecular” behavior of a nonrigid linear structure undergoing collective rotation and vibration. Highly excited states of molecules described in the “standard molecular model” display normal mode couplings, which induce bifurcations on the route to molecular chaos. New approaches such as rigid–nonrigid correlation, vibrons, and quantum groups suggest a unified view of collective electronic motion in atoms and nuclear motion in molecules.

Observation via one-dimensional 13Calpha NMR of local conformational substates in thermal unfolding equilibria of a synthetic analog of the GCN4 leucine zipper.

Synthesis of a 33-residue, capped leucine zipper analogous to that in GCN4 is reported. Histidine and arginine residues are mutated to lysine to reduce the unfolding temperature. CD and ultracentrifugation studies indicate that the molecule is a two-stranded coiled coil under benign conditions. Versions of the same peptide are made with 99% 13Calpha at selected sites. One-dimensional 13C NMR spectra are assigned by inspection and used to study thermal unfolding equilibria over the entire transition from 8 to 73 degrees C. Spectra at the temperature extremes establish the approximate chemical shifts for folded and unfolded forms at each labeled site. Resonances for each amino acid appear at both locations at intermediate T, indicating that folded and unfolded forms interconvert slowly (> >2 ms) on the NMR time scale. Moreover, near room temperature, the structured form's resonance is double at several, but not all, sites, indicating at least two slowly interconverting, structured, local conformational substates. Analysis of the dynamics is possible. For example, near room temperature at the Val-9, Ala-24, and Gly-31 positions, the equilibrium constant for interconversion of the two structured forms is near unity and the time scale is > or= 10-20 ms.

Novel one-dimensional structures and solution behaviour of copper(II) bromide and chloride complexes of a new pentapyridyldiamine ligand

Copper(II) bromide and chloride complexes of the new heptadentate ligand 2,6-bis(bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino)methylpyridine (L) have been prepared. For the bromide complexes, chains of novel, approximately C-2-symmetric, chiral [Cu-2(L)Br-2](2+) 'wedge-shaped' tectons are found. The links between the dicopper tectons and the overall chirality and packing of the chains are dictated by the bromide ion content, not the counter anion. In contrast, the chloride complexes exhibit linked asymmetric [Cu-2(L)Cl-3](+) tectons with distinct N3CuCl2 and N4CuCl2 centres in the solid. The overall structures of the dicopper bromide and chloride units persist in solution irrespective of the halide. The redox chemistry of the various species is also described.

Magic-angle effects in the interlayer magnetoresistance of quasi-one-dimensional metals due to interchain incoherence

The dependence of the magnetoresistance of quasi-one-dimensional metals on the direction of the magnetic field show dips when the field is tilted at the so-called magic angles determined by the structural dimensions of the materials. There is currently no accepted explanation for these magic-angle effects. We present a possible explanation. Our model is based on the assumption that, the intralayer transport in the second most conducting direction has a small contribution from incoherent electrons. This incoherence is modeled by a small uncertainty in momentum perpendicular to the most conducting (chain) direction. Our model predicts the magic angles seen in interlayer transport measurements for different orientations of the field. We compare our results to predictions by other models and to experiment.
