Note on Polarographic Determination of Small Amounts of Lead
The composition and characteristics of a new supporting electrolyte for the polarographic determination of small amounts of lead are described. The electrolyte is a 0.5 N aqueous solution of succinic acid containing 0.008 % gelatine. The analysis of the results obtained with this electrolyte shows that it can be used even when concentrations of the order of 10-6 M Pb (or 1 ug Pb/ml.) are involved. It has been shown that the electrode reaction consists in a reversible cathodic reduction of bivalent lead ions to the uncharged metallic lead
Treatment of Polarographic Data by the Least-Squares Method I. Estimation of the Half-wave Potential
The application of the half-wave potential in polarographic investigations is reviewed. In view of the fact that the methods currently used for computation of the half-wave potential do not give very reliable values and do not allow the estimation of experimental
errors, an attempt is made to apply the least-squares method to the computation of the half-wave potential from the current-voltage data

Regge Behaviour from an Environmentally Friendly Renormalization Group
The asymptotic behaviour of cubic field theories is investigated in the Regge
limit using the techniques of environmentally friendly renormalization,
environmentally friendly in the present context meaning asymmetric in its
momentum dependence. In particular we consider the crossover between large and
small energies at fixed momentum transfer for a model scalar theory of the type
phi^2 psi. The asymptotic forms of the crossover scaling functions are
exhibited for all two particle scattering processes in this channel to one loop
in a renormalization group improved perturbation theory.Comment: 9 pages text, one figure, LaTeX, uses psfig.sty. Revised version
submitted to Phys. Lett. B., besides minor changes a figure to illustrate the
conventions and a discussion of the full crossover function have been adde
On the Stability of Metal Complexes with Racemic Ligands
Although the amino-acid chelates have b een ext ensively inve·stigated on
account of their stability, mo.st of the work was done without regard to the
optical properties of such ligands1. The same also applies t o optically active Hgainds other than ami1no-ac1ds. Before trying to elucidate the experimental evidence this communication was originated with the question: can useful evaluation of stability data be made in systems consisting of a metal \u27ion and racemic or enantiomeric forms of an optically active ligand
