Conformational studies of various hemoglobins by natural-abundance 13C NMR spectroscopy
Studies of variously liganded hemoglobins (both from human and rabbit) by natural-abundance 13C NMR spectroscopy have revealed apparent conformational differences that have been interpreted on the basis of two quaternary structures for the α2ß2 tetramer, and variable tertiary structures for the individual α and ß subunits. In solution, rabbit hemoglobins appear to have somewhat more flexibility than human hemoglobins
Discharge coefficients for thick-plate orifices
Investigation enables more accurate prediction of coolant flows within internally cooled turbine blades and vanes. The data is applicable for predicting flows in complex flow passages
The effect of parallel static and microwave electric fields on excited hydrogen atoms
Motivated by recent experiments we analyse the classical dynamics of a
hydrogen atom in parallel static and microwave electric fields. Using an
appropriate representation and averaging approximations we show that resonant
ionisation is controlled by a separatrix, and provide necessary conditions for
a dynamical resonance to affect the ionisation probability.
The position of the dynamical resonance is computed using a high-order
perturbation series, and estimate its radius of convergence. We show that the
position of the dynamical resonance does not coincide precisely with the
ionisation maxima, and that the field switch-on time can dramatically affect
the ionisation signal which, for long switch times, reflects the shape of an
incipient homoclinic. Similarly, the resonance ionisation time can reflect the
time-scale of the separatrix motion, which is therefore longer than
conventional static field Stark ionisation. We explain why these effects should
be observed in the quantum dynamics.

A MERLIN Study of 6 GHz Excited-state OH & 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers in ON1
MERLIN observations of 6.668-GHz methanol and both 6.031- and 6.035-GHz
hydroxyl (OH) emission from the massive star-formation region ON1 are
presented. These are the first methanol observations made in full polarization
using 5 antennas of MERLIN, giving high resolution and sensitivity to extended
emission. Maser features are found to lie at the southern edge of the
ultra-compact HII region, following the known distribution of ground-state OH
masers. The masers cover a region ~1 arcsec in extent, lying perpendicular to
the H13CO+ bipolar outflow. Excited-state OH emission demonstrates consistent
polarization angles across the strongest linearly polarized features which are
parallel to the overall distribution. The linear polarizations vary between
10.0 and 18.5 per cent, with an average polarization angle of -60 deg +/- 28
deg. The strongest 6.668-GHz methanol features provide an upper limit to linear
polarization of ~1 per cent. Zeeman splitting of OH shows magnetic fields
between -1.1 to -5.8 mG, and a tentative methanol magnetic field strength of
-18 mG is measured.Comment: 10 Pages, 5 Figure
