Temperature compensation in the oscillatory bray reaction.

The influence of temperature on the oscillatory frequency of the hydrogen peroxide-iodate ion reaction is found to be two-sided: (i) the period length decreases with increasing temperature in most of the instances studied, (ii) or in some cases an opposite change is observed. A temperature-independent period length (temperature compensation) is also discovered experimentally in a rather wide temperature interval at a narrow concentration range of reactants both in a batch configuration and under flow conditions. A simple model was considered to simulate this behavior. Opposing effects of the composite reactions of the model on the calculated period length with changing temperature are shown to be responsible for temperature compensation or overcompensation.

Complex and chaotic oscillations in a model for the catalytic hydrogen peroxide decomposition under open reactor conditions.

Numerous periodic and aperiodic dynamic states obtained in a model for hydrogen peroxide decomposition in the presence of iodate and hydrogen ions (the Bray-Liebhafsky reaction) realized in an open reactor (CSTR), where the flow rate was the control parameter, have been investigated numerically. Between two Hopf bifurcation points, different simple and complex oscillations and different routes to chaos were observed. In the region of the mixed-mode evolution of the system, the transitions between two successive mixed-mode simple states are realized by period-doubling of the initial state leading to a chaotic window in which the next dynamic state emerges mixed with the initial one. It appears in increasing proportions in concatenated patterns until total domination. Thus, with increasing flow rate the period-doubling route to chaos was obtained, whereas with decreasing flow rate the peak-adding route to chaos was obtained. Moreover, in very narrow regions of flow rates, chaotic mixtures of mixed-mode patterns were observed. This evolution of patterns repeats until the end of the mixed-mode region at high flow rates that corresponds to chaotic mixtures of one large and many small amplitude oscillations. Starting from the reverse Hopf bifurcation point and decreasing the flow rate, simple small amplitude sinusoidal oscillations were encountered and then the period-doubling route to chaos. With a further decreasing flow rate, the mixed-mode oscillations emerge inside the chaotic window.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of the Landolt reaction in an open spatial reactor with conical geometry.

In a previous study, the iodate-sulfite proton autoactivated reaction (Landolt reaction) was shown to exhibit spatial bistability and spatiotemporal oscillations when operated in an open spatial reactor with fixed "thickness", i.e., feed boundary to core distance. Here, we show that the spatial reactors with conical geometry enable one to rapidly probe the sensitivity of the above phenomena over a large range of the "thickness" parameter. This often-neglected parameter in chemical pattern studies plays an important role on the selection and stability of states. We reveal that the quenching capacity of slow diffusing polyacrylate ions on the spatiotemporal oscillations depends on this "thickness". The presented results should be useful for further research on reaction diffusion patterns and chemomechanical structures.

Absence of specific cation or anion effects at low salt concentrations on the charge at the oil/water interface.

Surfactant-free 2 vol % hexadecane-in-water emulsions have been prepared at pH 9 in the presence of various alkali-metal salts. The surface charge and zeta potential of these emulsions are independent of the identities of the monovalent cations and anions up to 0.01 M electrolyte concentrations. The surface charge density of -5 microC cm(-2) is independent of the identity of the alkali-metal cation among Li, Na, and Cs. The zeta potentials decrease with the log of the salt concentration between 0.1 and 11 mM, independent of the identity of the anion of the sodium salts of iodide, bromide, chloride, fluoride, perchlorate, or iodate or of the identity of the cation of the chloride salts of Li, Na, or Cs. These results imply that neither hydration enthalpies nor ion dispersion potentials are significant in affecting the charge created by the hydroxide ion at the pristine oil/water interface at up to 0.01 M salt concentrations.

The first polymer-assisted solution-phase synthesis of deoxyglycosides.

[reaction--see text] A glycosylation protocol for the synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosides has been developed which is based on the use of polymer-bound reagents. Glycals are transformed into 2-iodoglycosyl acetates using polymer-bound bis(acetoxy)iodate(I) complex (1). Activation of the anomeric center is achieved by employing polymer-bound silyl triflate (2). In the presence of different glycosyl acceptors, 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycosides are generated in very good yields. Furthermore, it is shown that this method can be embedded in multistep sequences toward glycosylated testosterone and rhodinosyl-olivosyl-olivoside.

Determination of iodine in milk and oyster tissue samples using combustion and peroxydisulfate oxidation.

Two methods are described for the preparation of samples for total iodine measurement in biological matrices. In the first method, the samples were combusted in a stream of oxygen to release iodine that, subsequently, was trapped in a solution as iodide. The second method is a new approach in which the samples were oxidized in a basic solution of peroxydisulfate. In this case, the iodine was retained in solution as iodate. Total iodine was measured by gas chromatographic analysis of the 2-iodopentan-3-one derivative. The methods were tested using Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) 1549 Non-Fat Milk Powder, and 1566a and 1566 Oyster Tissue. Also, KI and KIO3 were used for testing the procedures. The results obtained for the SRMs, given as average +/- standard deviation in micrograms g-1, were: 3.39 +/- 0.14 and 3.40 +/- 0.23 for SRM 1549; 4.60 +/- 0.42 and 4.51 +/- 0.45 for SRM 1566a; and 2.84 +/- 0.16 and 2.76 +/- 0.06 for SRM 1566; values corresponding to combustion and wet oxidation, respectively. Overall, the absolute recoveries varied between 91 and 103%. These methods can also be used in the preparation of targets for the measurement of 129I using accelerator mass spectrometry.

Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of hydrogen sulphide.

A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) after fixing in a modified zinc acetate-disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate-sodium hydroxide solution is described. The fixed H2S is stable for 3 d. The reaction of iodate with H2S in the presence of acid and an excess of chloride leads to the formation of ICI which is stabilised as ICI2-. The species formed reacts with 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein to form 2',7'-dichloro-4',5'-diiodofluorescein which is extracted into a mixture of 15% isoamyl acetate in isoamyl alcohol. The colour system obeys Beer's law in the range 0-2.5 micrograms of H2S. The coefficient of variation is 4.5% for ten determinations of 2.0 micrograms of H2S. The effect of interfering gases on the determination is discussed. The method was applied to the determination of residual amounts of H2S present in a laboratory fume cupboard and the results obtained were compared with those given by the widely used Methylene Blue method. The method can be used to determine down to 0.3 micrograms of H2S.

Sensitive monitoring of iodine species in sea water using capillary electrophoresis: vertical profiles of dissolved iodine in the Pacific Ocean.

Using a novel high-sensitivity capillary electrophoretic method, vertical distributions of iodate, iodide, total inorganic iodine, dissolved organic iodine and total iodine in the North Pacific Ocean (0-5500 m) were determined without any sample pre-treatment other than UV irradiation before total iodine analysis. An extensive set of data demonstrated that the iodine behaviour in the ocean water collected during a cruise in the North Pacific Ocean in February-March 2003 was not conservative but correlated with variations in concentrations of dissolved oxygen and nutrient elements such as silicon, nitrogen and phosphorus. This suggests that the vertical distribution of iodine is associated with biological activities. The dissolved organic iodine was found in the euphotic zone in accord with observations elsewhere in the oceans. The vertical profile of dissolved organic iodine also appears to be related to biogeochemical activity. The concentrations of all measured iodine species vary noticeably above 1000 m but only minor latitudinal changes occur below 1000 m and slight vertical alterations can be observed below 2400 m. These findings are thought to reflect the stratification of nutrients and iodine species with different biological activities in the water column.

Towards high capacity latex-coated porous polymer monoliths as ion-exchange stationary phases.

The preparation of high capacity agglomerated monolithic ion-exchangers for capillary ion chromatography is described. Post-modification of reactive monoliths was investigated as an alternative to co-polymerisation of a suitable functional monomer with an overarching goal of increasing ion-exchange capacity. Direct sulfonation of poly styrene-co-divinyl benzene monoliths using concentrated sulfuric acid or chlorosulfonic acid was unsuccessful even for monoliths containing as low as 8% crosslinker. In contrast, chemical transformation of reactive monoliths containing glycidyl methacrylate was used to increase the ion-exchange capacity by up to more than thirty-fold with ion exchange capacities of 14-29 microequiv g(-1) achieved. Three different reactions were considered, including reaction with 4-hydroxybenenesulfonic acid under basic conditions; reaction with thiobenzoic acid followed by transformation to a reactive thiol and the subsequent oxidation to the sulfonic acid; and direct sulfonation with sodium sulfite. Of these, the reaction with sodium sulfite resulted in the most significant increase in the capacity and the best separation performance. In the isocratic mode separation efficiencies of over 13,500 plates m(-1) were observed (for iodate). The separation of seven inorganic anions was also demonstrated using a hydroxide gradient.

A spectrophotometric method for the microdetermination of periodate.

1. A method is described for measuring the concentration of periodate over the range 0.2-20mum by adding 1,2-di-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol to a sample solution. Periodate cleaves this compound to from two molecules of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, the extinction of which is then read at 352mmu. 2. The method has been used to follow the course of periodate oxidations of serine methyl ester, ribonuclease A and ribonuclease S-protein. Addition of the reagent stops further periodate reaction by reducing the remaining periodate to iodate. 3. The presence of protein does not interfere with the assay.

A novel inflammatory eye disease induced by lymphocytes from knockout mice sensitized against the deleted ocular antigen.

Lens-associated uveitis (LAU), a severe inflammatory eye disease, is thought to be mediated by autoimmunity against lens crystallins. Previously described animal models for this disease are antibody-mediated, since no cellular response to self crystallins could be induced in experimental animals. Here, we describe a new model for LAU, in which lymphocytes from knockout mice deficient in alphaB-crystallin are sensitized against the deleted protein and induce severe ocular inflammation when adoptively transferred into wild type recipients. Similar to LAU, the experimental disease developed only following rupture of the lens capsule, produced in this study by capsulotomy; no disease was detected in recipient eyes with no capsulotomy, or in those treated with cautery, or in eyes affected by systemic treatment with sodium iodate, lipopolysaccharide or X-irradiation. The ocular changes in affected eyes included heavy cellular infiltration and proteinaceous exudate in both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, that reached their peak on day 4 following cell transfer and subsided quite rapidly thereafter.

Complex patterns in reaction-diffusion systems: A tale of two front instabilities.

Two front instabilities in a reaction-diffusion system are shown to lead to the formation of complex patterns. The first is an instability to transverse modulations that drives the formation of labyrinthine patterns. The second is a nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch (NIB) bifurcation that renders a stationary planar front unstable and gives rise to a pair of counterpropagating fronts. Near the NIB bifurcation the relation of the front velocity to curvature is highly nonlinear and transitions between counterpropagating fronts become feasible. Nonuniformly curved fronts may undergo local front transitions that nucleate spiral-vortex pairs. These nucleation events provide the ingredient needed to initiate spot splitting and spiral turbulence. Similar spatiotemporal processes have been observed recently in the ferrocyanide-iodate-sulfite reaction.

Influence of an electric field on the buoyancy-driven instabilities.

The influence of dc electric fields (EFs) on the development of buoyancy-driven instabilities of reaction fronts is investigated experimentally in a modified Hele-Shaw cell for the arsenous acid-iodate system. Assessment of effects of external EFs is made both visually and through dispersion curves. It is shown that density fingering, observed on ascending fronts, is suppressed by the EF if the front propagates towards the positive electrode and is enhanced when the front propagates towards the negative electrode. The stabilizing (destabilizing) effects include slower (faster) development of fingers and the decrease (increase) in their numbers. The descending front, stable under no EF conditions, remains stable when an EF is applied with the positive electrode facing the approaching front. When the descending front faces the negative electrode, the tiny fingerlike structure develops after quite a long time.

The vacuolar ATPase: sulfite stabilization and the mechanism of nitrate inactivation.

Using vacuolar membranes from Neurospora crassa, we observed that sulfite prevented the loss of vacuolar ATPase activity that otherwise occurred during 36 h at room temperature. Sulfite neither activated nor changed the kinetic behavior of the enzyme. Further, in the presence of sulfite, the vacuolar ATPase was not inhibited by nitrate. We tested the hypothesis that sulfite acts as a reducing agent to stabilize the enzyme, while nitrate acts as an oxidizing agent, inhibiting the enzyme by promoting the formation of disulfide bonds. All reducing agents tested, dithionite, selenite, thiophosphate, dithiothreitol and glutathione, prevented the loss of ATPase activity. On the other hand, all oxidizing agents tested, bromate, iodate, arsenite, perchlorate, and hydrogen peroxide, were potent inhibitors of ATPase activity. The inhibitory effect of the oxidizing agents was specific for the vacuolar ATPase. The mitochondrial ATPase, assayed under identical conditions, was not inhibited by any of the oxidizing agents. Analysis of proteins with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicated that nitrate can promote the formation of disufide bonds between proteins in the vacuolar membrane. These data suggest a mechanism to explain why nitrate specifically inhibits vacuolar ATPases, and they support the proposal by Feng and Forgac (Feng, Y., and Forgac, M. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 13244-13230) that oxidation and reduction of critical cysteine residues may regulate the activity of vacuolar ATPases in vivo.

Low-iodine diet for the production of severe I deficiency in marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus).

A low-iodine diet consisting of maize, peas (Pisum sativum), torula yeast, meat meal, maize oil and added vitamins, minerals and amino acids was given to eight pairs of adult, common cotton-eared marmosets (Callithrix jacchus jacchus). Eight control pairs were given the same diet to which potassium iodate was added. Both groups also received low-I apple and deionized water. The diet provided adequate nutrition, as confirmed by the maintenance of body-weight and good health. In the I-deficient marmosets the concentration of plasma thyroxine was decreased from 140.1 nmol/l to 22.4 nmol/l and thyroid-stimulating hormone increased significantly from 1.8 ng/ml to 9.0 ng/ml compared with control marmosets, thereby indicating severe I deficiency. Compared with newborn offspring from control marmosets, the thyroid glands from the I-deficient offspring showed an increase in weight, a decrease in I content and, on histological examination, hyperplasia, hypertrophy and a total absence of colloid material in the follicles.

Effects of supplementary iodine on the performance and egg traits of laying hens.

1. This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary iodine supplementation on the performance and egg traits of laying hens. A total of 600 SHSY type brown layers aged 21 weeks of age were chosen at random from a large flock. They were randomly distributed into 30 pens at 20 hens per pen. Each treatment comprised 6 replicates of 20 layers in groups of 5 birds. The diets were supplemented with 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 mg/kg iodine as calcium iodate. The experimental period lasted 30 weeks. 2. There were no significant differences among the groups in body weight, food consumption, egg production, food consumption per kg eggs, eggshell index, eggshell breaking strength, shell thickness or egg yolk index. 3. Supplementation of the diet with 12 mg/kg iodine increased food consumption per dozen eggs compared to the groups fed on diets supplemented with 0 and 6 mg/kg iodine. 4. Egg weight was less in groups fed on diets supplemented with 12 and 24 mg/kg iodine than in the group receiving no iodine supplementation. 5. Iodine supplementation to provide 12 and 24 mg/kg reduced egg albumen index and egg Haugh units. 6. There were no significant differences among the groups in egg cholesterol and egg yolk cholesterol contents. 7. The iodine concentrations in egg yolk, egg albumen and whole egg increased with increased iodine supplementation. 8. As a result, the 3 and 6 mg/kg iodine supplementation of diet could be used to enrich the eggs with iodine without any adverse effect on performance and egg traits.
