The free convection in a vertical gap is generalized to realize new analytical solutions of the Boussinesq-equations. The steady and time-dependent solutions for the temperature and velocity distribution are discussed in detail depending on the mass flux in vertical direction. The range of existence for flows with and without back flow is obtained. The transient behaviour of the solutions during the time-dependent development displays interesting physical behaviour.
The use of a TLC scanner can be regarded as a key step in high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). Densitometric measurements transform the substance distribution on a TLC plate into digital computer data. Systems that allow quantitative measurements have been available for many years for either fluorescence or ultraviolet absorption measurements, while lately the reflection analysis mode for both types is the most common application. New scanning approaches are designed to aid the analyst who has common demands for TLC-densitometry without using special data, such as scanned images. Two examples that have been developed lately in the laboratories of the authors are described in this paper. These approaches were developed on the basis of current needs for analysts who employ TLC as a tool in research, as well as in routine analysis. One approach is aimed to support analysts in economically disadvantaged areas, where cost intensive apparatus is unsuitable but trace analysis by simple means is required. The other system, allows the spectral determination of chromatographic spots on TLC plates covering the ultraviolet and visible range, thus, revealing highly desired information for the analyst.
The aim of this study was to develop a biomechanically validated finite element model to predict the biomechanical behaviour of the human lumbar spine in compression.
For validation of the finite element model, an in vitro study was performed: Twelve human lumbar cadaveric spinal segments (six segments L2/3 and six segments L4/5) were loaded in axial compression using 600 N in the intact state and following surgical treatment using two different internal stabilisation devices. Range of motion was measured and used to calculate stiffness.
A finite element model of a human spinal segment L3/4 was loaded with the same force in intact and surgically altered state, corresponding to the situation of biomechanical in vitro study.
The results of the cadaver biomechanical and finite element analysis were compared. As they were close together, the finite element model was used to predict: (1) load-sharing within human lumbar spine in compression, (2) load-sharing within osteoporotic human lumbar spine in compression and (3) the stabilising potential of the different spinal implants with respect to bone mineral density.
A finite element model as described here may be used to predict the biomechanical behaviour of the spine. Moreover, the influence of different spinal stabilisation systems may be predicted.
Ozon-Querempfindlichkeit bei der Immissionsmessung von schwebstaubakkumuliertem Benzo[a]pyren
(2002)
Für die Beschreibung der Belastung der Luft mit polycyclischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAK) wird vorwiegend die Konzentration eines Vertreters, das auf Schwebstaub akkumulierte Benzo[a]pyren (BaP), analysiert. Hierbei stellt Benzo[a]pyren die Leit komponen te für die Stoffklasse der PAK dar. Auf europäischer Ebene ist vorgesehen, für diesen Luftinhaltsstoff einen Grenzwert als Jahresmittelwert festzulegen. Deshalb wird bei bei der Normungsbehörde CEN zurzeit eine Europäische Norm für diesen Stoff erarbeitet. Aus der Literatur ist bekannt, dass für Benzo[a]pyren eine Querempfindlichkeit gegen Ozon und NO2 besteht. Im Zuge der Neuentwicklung eines Probenahmekopfs (PNK) für PAK-Immissionsmessungen, der durch den Einsatz eines Ozon- Scrubbers eine ozonfreie Immissionsmessung der Benzo[a]pyren-Konzentration ermög licht, wurde in dieser Arbeit die prinzipielle Einsetzbarkeit dieses Probe nahmekopfs geprüft. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Voruntersuchungen und Feldversuche durchgeführt, mit dem Ziel, Kenntnisse über die Ozon-Querempfindlichkeit zu erhalten. Um die Ozon-Querempfindlichkeit bei der Benzo[a]pyren-Bestimmung zu studieren, wurde Ozon in den Ansaugbereich der Probenahme dosiert. Als Ergebnis der Untersuchungen kann festgehalten werden, dass für die Benzo[a]pyren-Immissionsmessung eine deutliche Ozon-Querempfindlichkeit besteht, die unter Einsatz des neuen Ozon- Scrubbers vermieden werden kann.
A systematic toxicological analysis procedure using high-performance thin layer chromatography in combination with fibre optical scanning densitometry for identification of drugs in biological samples is presented. Two examples illustrate the practicability of the technique. First, the identification of a multiple intake of analgesics: codeine, propyphenazone, tramadol, flupirtine and lidocaine, and second, the detection of the sedative diphenhydramine. In both cases, authentic urine specimens were used. The identifications were carried out by an automatic measurement and computer-based comparison of in situ UV spectra with data from a compiled library of reference spectra using the cross-correlation function. The technique allowed a parallel recording of chromatograms and in situ UV spectra in the range of 197–612 nm. Unlike the conventional densitometry, a dependency of UV spectra by concentration of substance in a range of 250–1000 ng/spot was not observed.
In-situ densitometry for qualitative or quantitative purposes is a key step in thin-layer chromatography (TLC). It is a simple means of quantification by measurement of the optical density of the separated spots directly on the plate. A new scanner has been developed which is capable of measuring TLC or HPTLC (high-performance thin-layer chromatography) plates simultaneously at different wavelengths without damaging the plate surface. Fiber optics and special fiber interfaces are used in combination with a diode-array detector. With this new scanner sophisticated plate evaluation is now possible, which enables use of chemometric methods in HPTLC. Different regression models have been introduced which enable appropriate evaluation of all analytical questions. Fluorescent measurements are possible without filters or special lamps and signal-to-noise ratios can be improved by wavelength bundling. Because of the richly structured spectra obtained from PAH, diode-array HPTLC enables quantification of all 16 EPA PAH on one track. Although the separation is incomplete all 16 compounds can be quantified by use of suitable wavelengths. All these aspects are enable substantial improvement of in-situ quantitative densitometric analysis.
The flow field-flow fractionation (FIFFF) technique is a promising method for separating and analysing particles and large size macromolecules from a few nanometers to approximately 50 μm. A new fractionation channel is described featuring well defined flow conditions even for low channel heights with convenient assembling and operations features. The application of the new flow field-flow fractionation channel is proved by the analysis of pigments and other small particles of technical interest in the submicrometer range. The experimental results including multimodal size distributions are presented and discussed.
Rotating flow systems are often used to study stability phenomena and structure developments. The closed spherical gap problem is generalized into an open flow system by superimposing a mass flux in meridional direction. The basic solutions at low Reynolds numbers are described by analytical methods. The nonlinear supercritical solutions are simulated numerically and realized in experiments. Novel steady and time-dependent modes of flows are obtained. The extensive results concern the stability behaviour, non-uniqueness of supercritical solutions, symmetry behaviour and transitions between steady and time-dependent solutions. The experimental investigations concern the visualization of the various instabilities and the quatitative description of the flow structures including the laminar-turbulent transition. A comparison between theoretical and experimental results shows good agreement within the limit of rotational symmetric solutions from the theory.
We generalize the fluid flow problem of an oscillating flat plate (II. Stokes problem) in two directions. We discuss first the oscillating porous flat plate with superimposed blowing or suction. The second generalization is concerned with an increasing or decreasing velocity amplitude of the oscillating flat plate. Finally we show that a combination of both effects is possible as well.
An algorithm is presented that has successfully been utilized in practice for several years. It improves data analysis in chromatography. The program runs in an extremely reliable way and evaluates chromatographic raw data with an acceptable error. The algorithm requires a minimum of preliminaries and integrates even unsmoothed noisy data correctly.
Formal verification (FV) is considered by many to be complicated and to require considerable mathematical knowledge for successful application. We have developed a methodology in which we have added formal verification to the verification process without requiring any knowledge of formal verification languages. We use only finite-state machine notation, which is familiar and intuitive to designers. Another problem associated with formal verification is state-space explosion. If that occurs, no result is returned; our method switches to random simulation after one hour without results, and no effort is lost. We have compared FV against random simulation with respect to development time, and our results indicate that FV is at least as fast as random simulation. FV is superior in terms of verification quality, however, because it is exhaustive.
This paper treats the interaction between acoustic modes and light (Brillouin scattering) in a single mode optical fibre. Different observed spectra of the Brillouin backscattering in several fibres have been already reported. In order to have a clear idea of the process, we made a simulation to be able to `draw' the theoretical Brillouin spectrum of an optical fibre and to identify the origin of the observed backscattered lines.
First, the model and the computation method used in our simulation are described. Second, the experimentally observed spectra of two real fibres are compared with their computed spectra. Real spectra and simulated spectra are in good agreement.
Our work provides an interesting tool to investigate the changes in the Brillouin spectrum when the input parameters (characteristics of an optical fibre) vary. This should give useful indications to people working on systems which use Brillouin backscattering.
In this paper a high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) scanner is presented in which a special fibre arrangement is used as HPTLC plate scanning interface. Measurements are taken with a set of 50 fibres at a distance of 400 to 500 μm above the HPTLC plate. Spatial resolutions on the HPTLC plate of better than 160 μm are possible. It takes less than 2 min to scan 450 spectra simultaneously in a range of 198 to 610 nm. The basic improvement of the item is the use of highly transparent glass fibres which provide excellent transmission at 200 nm and the use of a special fibre arrangement for plate illumination and detection.
Der Beitrag beschreibt wichtige Eckdaten und Ergebnisse der Kraftschlußregelung, die in der Lokomotive 12X auf internationalen Strecken erprobt wurde, und mit der auch zukünftige Projekte ausgestattet werden. Diese werden nicht nur von weiteren technischen Verbesserungen profitieren, sondern auch von geringerem Aufwand für die Inbetriebsetzung.
Shapes and structures of vortex breakdown phenomena in rotating fluids are visualized. We investigate the flow in a cylindrical container and in a cone between two spherical surfaces. The primary swirling flow is induced by the rotating upper disk in the cylindrical case and by the lower boundary in the spherical case. The upper surface can be fixed with a no slip condition or can be a stress-free surface. Depending on these boundary conditions and on the Reynolds number novel structures of recirculation zones are realized. Experiments are done to visualize the topological structure of the flow and to determine their existence range as function of the geometry and rotation rate. A comparison between the experimental and theoretical approach shows a good agreement in respect to the topological structures of the flows.
Im Rahmen des Kontinentalen Tiefbohrprogramms der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (KTB) wurde im September 1987 in der Oberpfalz bei Windischeschenbach mit der Vorbohrung begonnen, die im Frühjahr des letzten Jahres bei einer Tiefe von 4000m erfolgreich abgeschlossen wurde. Mit der in diesem Jahr beginnenden Hauptbohrung will man 10 bis 12km tief in das Erdinnere vorstoßen. Nicht nur anhand von Gesteins- und Flüssigkeitsproben, sondern auch mit Hilfe von Meßsonden werden umfangreiche geophysikalische Daten gewonnen. Der Aufsatz beschreibt, wie die magnetische Suszeptibilität von Gesteinen bis ca. 300°C Umgebungstemperatur und einem Druck von 2kbar gemessen wird und die Daten über ein 14km langes Bohrlochkabel von der Sonde zum Steuerrechner übertragen werden.
Nach einer Darstellung des thermodynamischen Verhaltens von Thermoelementen und dem Vergleich mit realen Thermo-elementen der DIN-Reihe 43710 wird der prinzipielle Aufbau von Meßsystemen mit Thermoelementen und Meßverstärkern behandelt. Ein Verfahren zur Linearisierung der Ausgangskennlinie mit einem mehrstufigen Summenverstärker wird beschrieben. Der Einfluß des Linearisierungsverfahrens auf das Meßergebnis wird allgemein untersucht und anhand eines praxisnahen Beispiels für eine Fe-CuNi-Thermoelement quantitativ berechnet.
Anhand der formelmäßigen Beschreibung des Linearisierungsverfahrens wird der Einfluß der Vergleichsstellen-Temperatur auf das Meßergebnis quantitativ untersucht und an Beispielen erläutert. Daraus werden die Randbedingungen für die Vergleichsstellen-Temperatur hergeleitet und schaltungstechnische Realisierungen für die Kompensation der Temperaturdrift von Vergleichsstellen beschrieben.
