  • Chemisches Zentralblatt
    1725 Chemisches Zentralblatt. 1933 Band I. Nr. 11. 15. März. A. Allgemeine und physikalische Chemie. Robert S. Mulliken, Bindungskraft von Elektronen und Valenztheorie. (Vgl. C. 1 9 3 2. ü . 1582.) Am Beispiel der Reihe CH, CH2, CH3, CH.,, CH6, CHc wird gezeigt, daß die 4-Wertigkeit des C-Atoms sowohl die physikal. Stabilität des Mol. (CH5, CH0 sind vermutlich instabil wie He2) bedeutet als auch die Fähigkeit, durch einen Potential- Wall andere Atome vom Mol. fernzuhalten (was in CH, CH, u. CH3 nicht eintritt). In der Theorie von L e w is war für nichtpolare Moll, die Existenz von bindenden, paar­ weise auftretenden Elektronen u. völlig unbeteiligten Elektronen angenommen worden. Die Quantentheorie zeigt, daß außerdem noch „lockernde“ Elektronen (meistens paarweise) auftreten. Wird ein H+-Ion einem H-Atom genähert, so ist zweierlei „Reaktion“ möglich: entweder wird das 1 s-Elektron zu einem ( 1 5 o)-Elektron des H2+; dann ist bei seinem Umlauf das Elektron im Zeitmittel länger auf der Seite des ursprünglichen H-Atoms, die dem H+-Ion zugewendet ist u. es springt zu diesem hinüber u. wieder zurück, bis schließlich bei kleinem r die Umlaufsfrequenz gleich der Sprungfrequenz (gemeinsame Umlaufsbahn) wird; oder das Elektron 1 s wird zu 2 p o, dann ist es im Zeitmittel länger auf der dem genäherten H+-Ion abgewendeten Seite, zur Näherung der Kerne ist Energie notwendig, es entsteht eine „Abstoßungskurve“ H J+ (2 p o, 22 u+ ) im Gegensatz zur Potentialkurve (1 s o )2 2 a+, die ein Minimum besitzt. — Für 2 neutrale H-Atome ist auch zweierlei Verh. möglich: H (1 s) + H (1 s): 1.

  • Folklore, Folk Belief, and the Selkie
    Supernatural Beings in the Far North: Folklore, Folk Belief, and The Selkie NANCY CASSELL MCENTIRE Within the world of folklore, stories of people turning into animals are well known. Either by accident or by design, a person may become a malevolent wolf, a swan, a helpful bird, a magic seal, a dog, a cat. Sometimes these stories are presented as folktales, part of a fictitious, make-believe world. Other times they are presented as legends, grounded in a narrator’s credibility and connected to everyday life. They may be sung as ballads or their core truths may be implied in a familiar proverb. They also affect human behavior as folk belief. Occasionally, sympathetic magic is involved: the human imagination infers a permanent and contiguous relationship between items that once were either in contact or were parts of a whole that later became separated or transformed. A narrative found in Ireland, England, and North America depicts a man who spends a night in a haunted mill, where he struggles with a cat and cuts off the cat’s paw. In the morning, the wife of a local villager has lost her hand (Baughman: 99; Disenchantment / Motif no. D702.1.1). France, French-speaking Canada and French-speaking Louisiana have stories of the loup-garou, a shape- shifter who is a person trapped in the body of an animal. One might suspect that he or she has encountered a loup-garou if that the animal is unusually annoying, provoking anger and hostile action. One penetrating cut will break the spell that has kept it trapped in animal form.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.

  • Shetland); • N7 (Shetland); and • N8 (Shetland)
    Draft Regional Locational Guidance – Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters 5. NORTH The North Region four Scoping Areas of Search. The Scoping Areas of Search are: • N2-3 (Orkney); • N4-6 (Shetland); • N7 (Shetland); and • N8 (Shetland). The north Section has been divided into Orkney (N2-3) and Shetland (N4-6, N7, N8) to allow a more detailed presentation of features. 5.1 Resource 5.1.1 Wind resource is strong directly north of Orkney in N2-3; the mean annual wind power densities that can be expected at this location reach a maximum of 1.3 kWm-2 and a minimum of kWm-2. Mean annual wind speeds are of 9.5 -10 ms-1 in this area. 5.1.2 Summer mean wind power density is of 0.5 kWm-2 from 8 ms-1 mean wind speed and winter mean power density is four times that at 2 kWm-2 from a mean winter wind speed of 12.5 ms-1 5.1.3 The wind areas of search to the east, west and north of the Shetland Isles have good wind resources available. The area of search N7 to the east of Shetland displays 1.3 -1.4 kWm-2 maximum mean power density and 1 kWm-2 minumum.
