Proton exchange between spin groups of the solid matrix of hydrated granular potato starch and water was studied using the 2D time domain NMR. The proton spin–spin relaxation time T2, and spin–lattice relaxation time T1 (selective and non-selective pulse sequences) were measured at room temperature. The observed spin relaxation results were analysed for exchange assuming a two-site exchange mod...

We consider exclusive π production in ep-scattering. At high energies odderon and photon exchange contribute. The photon exchange contribution is evaluated exactly using data for the total virtual photon-proton absorption cross section. The odderon exchange contribution is calculated in nonperturbative QCD, using functional integral techniques and the model of the stochastic vacuum. For the pro...

Several laboratories have reported that the activities of sodium-lithium countertransport are increased in red blood cells from patients with essential hypertension. Based on the many similarities between this transport system and the renal sodium-proton exchanger, a hypothesis has been put forth in the literature that increased red blood cell sodium-lithium countertransport activity may be a m...

The chiral two-pion exchange component of the long-range pp interaction is studied in an energy-dependent partial-wave analysis. We demonstrate its presence and importance, and determine the chiral parameters ci (i = 1, 3, 4). The values agree well with those obtained from pion-nucleon amplitudes. 11.80.Et, 12.39.Fe, 13.75.Cs, 21.30.-x Typeset using REVTEX

A simple double liquid chamber target was developed to provide the option for simultaneous production of [15O]H2O and either 13N or 18F using a single proton beam. Irradiation of natural water in a thin aluminium front chamber produced [15O]H2O by the 16O(p, pn)15O reaction directly. Large (0.5-1.0 Ci) doses of sterile [15O]H2O (greater than 99.95% radionuclide purity) were routinely prepared i...

The interaction of AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate with rabbit liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase has been investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR). The temperature dependence of the line widths of the proton resonances of AMP as a function of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase concentration indicates that the nucleotide C2 proton is in fast exchange on the NMR time sca...
