Aspects of Fundamental Muon Physics

The muon is a second generation fundamental fermion which belongs together with the electron and tauon to the group of charged leptons. To our present knowledge it behaves as a point-like particle which is subject to electromagnetic, weak and gravitation interactions. It diiers from electron and tauon in its behaviour and properties solely through its mass which is called lepton universality. T...

Fundamental Aspects of Substorm Onset

We now know that substorm onset occurs within the near-Earth plasma sheet in the region associated with the Harang electric field reversal. It is also known that substorm onset is generally associated with a reduction in the large-scale convection driven by the solar wind, and that this reduction is imparted to the ionosphere a few minutes prior to substorm onset. This is the same time relative...

New Aspects of Vinylsulfide Chemistry

Abstract: By utilizing the characteristic features of vinylsulfides, 2-(alkylthio)allyl silyl ethers were designed as efficient ene substrates, and their use led to exploration of general carbonyl and imine ene reactions. By using 3-(alkylthio)-2-siloxyallyl acetates, a useful [3 + 2]cyclopentane annulation methodology was developed. Further, a tandem CC bond formation/cleavage methodology was ...

Ethical aspects of clinical chemistry.

The work performed by the clinical chemist may deeply affect the decisions of the doctor and the well-being of the patient. Yet in contrast to the doctor and to the nurse the clinical chemist usually has no personal relationship with the patient. Being encumbered by much technology and anonymity is itself a reason for scrutinising his involvement in issues of health care ethics. This is an atte...
