Phosphoryl containing ligand tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in dichloromethane has been used as an extracting agent for tetravalent thorium and trivalent europium ions from their 1 M sodium nitrates. The equilibrium data reveal that both ions are extracted as the complexes at 1:3 metal/ligand ratio. The values of conditional extraction equilibrium constant (Kex) show the superior extract...

The benign environment and long confinement times obtained with ion storage techniques have led to some unique experiments in the area of precision measurements and fundamental constants. This is perhaps epitomized by the single electron g factor measurements at the University of Washington in which a precision of 4 parts in 10” has been attained. Now, use of lasers to cool stored ions has allo...

The influence of several ions on the membrane potential of the somatic muscle of Ascaris has been investigated by changing their concentration in the surrounding solution. When [K]o is increased at the expense of [Na]o leaving [C1] constant, the membrane potential is first seen to increase. [K] higher than 45 m reduces the membrane potential with a slope of 23 my for a tenfold change in [K] o. ...

In the elastic differential cross-section of the N+-rare gas systems two different types of oscillations have been observed. At an energy of a few eV a primary rainbow was detected for all systems. In the case of N+ —Ar, secondary rainbows were resolved too. From these experimental data the potential depths were determined to be : e (N+ — Ne) = 0.4 eV, s (N + — Kr) = 0.29 eV, f ( N + — Xe) = 0....

Lead acetate (3-10%, pH between 4.3 and 7.0, alone or containing 2% glutaraldehyde), when used as fixative, has been demonstrated to produce an intracellular microcrystalline precipitate of lead orthophosphate, Pb(5)(PO(4))(3)OH (lead hydroxyapatite). This confirms earlier work with the light microscope (6). In interphase cells the nucleoli are sharply delimited by the massive lead phosphate pr...

Studies of aqueous interfaces and of the behavior of ions therein have been profiting from a recent remarkable progress in surface selective spectroscopies, as well as from developments in molecular simulations. Here, we summarize and place in context our investigations of ions at aqueous interfaces employing molecular dynamics simulations and electronic structure methods, performed in close co...
