    Modeling termination kinetics of non-stationary free-radical polymerizations

    No full text
    Pulsed-laser induced polymerization is modeled via an approach presented in a previous paper. An equation for the time dependence of free-radical concentration is derived. It is shown that the termination rate coefficient may vary significantly as a function of time after applying the laser pulse despite of the fact that the change in monomer concentration during one experiment is negligible. For the limiting case of t ≫ c-1 (kpM)-1, where c is a dimensionless chain-transfer constant, kp the propagation rate coefficient and M the monomer concentration, an analytical expression for kt is derived. It is also shown that time-resolved single pulsed-laser polymerization (SP-PLP) experiments can yield the parameters that allow the modeling of kt in quasi-stationary polymerization. The influence of inhibitors is also considered. The conditions are analyzed under which M (t) curves recorded at different extents of laser-induced photo-initiator decomposition intersect. It is shown that such type of behavior is associated with chain-length dependence of kt

    Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

    No full text
    The prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

    A novel mutation in the Surf1 gene in a child with leigh disease, peripheral neuropathy, and cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency

    No full text
    We report a 16-month-old boy with psychomotor regression, muscle hypotonia, peripheral neuropathy, and lactic acidosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a bilateral abnormal signal in the substantia nigra and in the subthalamic nucleus, suggestive of Leigh disease. Histochemical analysis of skeletal muscle showed decreased cytochrome-c oxidase activity. Biochemical analysis of respiratory chain enzymes in muscle homogenate and in cultured fibroblasts showed isolated cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency. Western blot analysis in fibroblasts showed the absence of Surf1 protein. Genetic analysis of the SURF1 gene revealed that the patient was compound heterozygous for a previously reported mutation at the splice-junction site of intron 3 (240 + 1G > T), and for a novel 4-bp deletion in exon 6 (5314delAAAT). Our data further enlarge the spectrum of mutations in SURF1 gene in patients with Leigh disease and cytochrome-c oxidase deficiency, contributing to better characterization of the clinical and neuroradiologic features of this group of patients for genotype-phenotype correlations
