(14)CO(2) production by perfused rat livers was simulated by infusing NaH(14)CO(3) into the perfusate. Recovery of label as (14)CO(2) gas + perfusate bicarbonate was 45-85%. Rates of (14)CO(2) exchange in the liver are 3-70 times greater than net rates of CO(2) production. Therefore (14)CO(2) reincorporation can lead to significant underestimations of rates of oxidation of (14)C-labelled substr...

The standard method of [11C]raclopride synthesis requires a large amount of its desmethyl precursor. We prepared [11C]raclopride by methylation of a small amount of desmethyl derivative (0.3-0.5 mg) with [11C]methyl iodide in a DMF solution containing NaH, with a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 11-14% based on [11C]methyl iodide and with a specific activity of 48 TBq/mmol for 25 min from...

„Auf unsrem von Waffen starrenden Planeten, dessen fernste Länder durch Dampfkraft und Electricität einander so nah gebracht sind während die Herzen der verschiedenen Völker leider noch nicht in gleicher Weise einander genähert werden konnten, fällt uns Männern der Wissenschaft die Aufgabe zu, nach dem Maß unsrer allerdings geringen Kräfte, für die friedliche Vereinigung der Völker Sorge zu tra...

1,5-Disubstituted-2,4-pentadiynyl silyl ethers undergo smooth desilylative isomerization to afford cis-enynones as major products with moderate stereoselectivities in the presence of a catalytic amount of KO(t)Bu or DBU. While the isomerization reactions of their alcohol derivatives catalyzed by KOH, KO(t)Bu or NaH take place efficiently to produce trans-enynones with high stereoselectivities. ...

This paper presents a reduced-order approach to near-field acoustical holography (NAH) that allows the user to account for sound fields generated by multiple spatially separated sources. In this method, an equivalent wave model (EWM) of a given field is formulated to include combinations of planar, cylindrical, spherical, or other elementary wave functions in contrast to an EWM restricted to a ...
