Cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) experiments were carried out for malonic acid, succinic acid, oxalacetic acid, DL-malic acid, glutaric acid, DL-glutamic acid monohydrate, and adipic acid, using both water and methanol as atomization solvents, at three operating supersaturations (0.11%, 0.21%, and 0.32%) in the Caltech three-column CCN 5 instrument (CCNC3). Predictions of CCN behavior for five ...

1. Chemical stimulation as a function of temperature was studied by using oxalic acid in fresh and salt water and malonic acid in salt water as stimulating agents on Fundulus. According to the Arrhenius equation the following micro values were obtained for the various acid solutions between 0 and 29 degrees C.: for 0.002N oxalic in fresh water-15,800; 33,000; for 0.0008N oxalic in fresh water-1...

Orotic acid-C1402H, which was required for biological studies being pursued in this laboratory, has been synthesized by the method of Nyc and Mitchell,5 starting with DL-aspartic acid-a-C1402H. The latter was prepared from ethyl malonate-C1402C2H5, as described by Galat.' This orotic acid probably contains the isotopic carbon exclusively in the carboxyl group since it evolves carbon dioxide con...

In the discussions and debates about ghostwriting and pharmaceutical-industry-sponsored manuscripts, at times the public, Congress, and the academic community lose sight of the tangible contribution of the pharmaceutical industry to the development of valuable new treatments, and the expansion of knowledge about why drugs work and why they fail. This valuable work is often done in collaboration...

A complex Ginzburg-Landau type amplitude equation which is valid in the Hopf region of phase space near an instability threshold admits solutions like antisymmet-ric pulses traveling in alternate direction from a core. Such pulse solutions come out as a steady state solution of the system on moving frame. The pulses have spatial profile like Hermite polynomial of order unity with the negative(p...
