MICROCOMPUTER INSTRUCTION IN PROTON NMR SPECTRA INTERPRETATION. Kersey A. 479 Blaak, Joint Science Center, Claremont McKenna, Scripps and Pitzer Colleges, Claremont, California 91711. Proton NMR spectroscopy is the mainstay of organic qualitative analysis, and as such receives considerable attention in introductory organic chemistry courses. Software has been developed which helps exercise the users ability to :orrelate proton NMR spectra with molecular structure. The user can design and create organic structures on the screen of a MacintoshT14 microcomputer using the mouse to select from a palette af molecular pieces. Alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, halides, alcohols, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, acids, esters, amines, and amides can all be easily constructed in this manner. The program then generates a simulated proton NMR spectrum using empirically based rules for chemical shift calculation and assignment of coupling constants. Any of several common Lield strengths are possible, and the spectrum can be expanded, scrolled, and integrated. Correlations between protons and signals in the spectrum can be revealed, along with a "splitting tree" showing the results of spin-spin coupling for a particular signal. Files of compounds can be created and stored on disk such that the structure can be either "known" or "unknown" to the user. The simulation provides a spectrum reflecting first- and some second-order effects. Multiple spectra can be displayed in separate windows. v r.. CONTEXT:SCIENCE TEACHING IN ENGLAND.David Waddington, Alan Marsden, Christie BorRford, Marm Beth Kem, University of York, Dept. of Chemistry, University of York, Science Education Group, Heslington, York, YOl 5DD, England Teaching materials produced by teams of classroom teachers, chemists and science educators in England are activity and lab-based and tied to the context of the real world. Student and teacher interest is high when experiencing such science as percent water in "slimmers" margarine, making alloys for special uses and designing appropriate symbols for vehicles transporting chemicals. Advanced-level chemistry concepts arise I from real-world problems. Criteria are tied to the British National Curriculum and materials are presented as lesson designs with ready to use student activity guides. material originated with funding from the Salters' Foundation and, thus, is known as I Salters' Chemistry and Salters' Science. I POLYMER END-GROUP ANALYSIS IN THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS I 481 LABORATORY. K. R. Williams and U. R. Bernier, Department of Chemistry, I University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-2046. Beginning analytical laboratory students are introduced to the concept of number-average molecular weight via an experiment on end-group analysis of poly(ethylene glycol). The hydroxyl I groups are esterified by reaction with a known excess of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (pyromellitic dianhydride, PMDA) in DMF using imidazole (IMDA) as the catalyst'. Af*.er the reaction the remaining anhydride is hydrolyzed and the carboxylic acid residues are I titrated with standard base. The esterification reaction is complete in about 30 minutes at room temperature, and the subsequent hydrolysis is very rapid. There is a problem in some samples with precipitation of the salt of PMDA aad IMDA, and methods to avoid this side-reaction are I being investigated. Student results for several molecular weight distributions will be summarized in the oral presentation. I 'Kingston, B. H. M.; Garey, J. J.; Hellwig, W. B. Anai. Chem. 1969, 41, 86.

Phone: +52 5556 23 07 93 Received: 2013-12-31; Accepted: 2014-04-08 Abstract Biochemistry education requires laboratory sessions where theoretical knowledge may be put on test. At the same time, there is always some risk due to exposure to toxic materials, dangerous chemicals storage and waste disposal. Compliance with new regulations to prevent environmental contamination may also constitute a real hindrance for biochemistry teaching as experimental science. Therefore, we have designed microscale techniques, in order to reduce costs as well as the negative impact of laboratory practical sessions due to risk and environmental contamination. To develop microscale techniques does not only mean to reduce equipment size and amount of the reagents that are required for the usual experiments. Microscale techniques serve particularly well as a motivating approach to experimental biochemistry teaching that produces highly motivated students at the same time that requires minor costs and decreases working time, laboratory space, amount of reagents and dangerous waste. We have demonstrated all these positive effects in biochemistry teaching and prompted the formal implementation of microscale techniques into the formal activities from the Cell and Tissue Biochemistry Laboratory I (BCT-I) from the Chemistry, Pharmacy and Biology (QFB) curricula at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

  • CLEAN WATER HEROES Georgia Tech TANYARD CREEK Georgia Tech Campus Captures Stormwater to Conserve Water and Protect Urban Stream
    Georgia’s 2017 CLEAN WATER HEROES Georgia Tech TANYARD CREEK Georgia Tech Campus Captures Stormwater to Conserve Water and Protect Urban Stream INTRODUCTION: When Chattahoochee Riverkeeper was looking for a way to show a group of intown Atlanta residents how to use green infrastructure to manage stormwater at a proposed neighborhood park, they had to look no further than the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Georgia Tech has been a leader in green TANYARD infrastructure since it built its first LEED certified building in 2003. Since then, CREEK the Institute has taken on the challenge of managing the rain that falls on the campus. Now that rain is collected and conserved, and the campus has become a veritable zoo of green infrastructure projects that save water and keep pollution out of local streams. The campus’ green solutions to stormwater runoff are so numerous, faculty and students have even developed a smartphone app that allows anyone to take a virtual tour of Tech’s innovative approaches to managing stormwater. THE WATER BODY: In 1888, when Georgia Tech opened its doors, Tanyard Creek flowed through what was then undeveloped property west of Georgia Tech’s iconic Tech Tower building. When thunderstorms rattled over Tech students in those days, the rain hit the ground and seeped slowly into it and eventually to Tanyard Creek. Over the course of the next century as the Institute and Atlanta grew in unison, Tanyard was slowly piped and buried. Today, almost 70 percent of the land surrounding Tanyard Creek is covered in concrete, asphalt and buildings.

  • CHEMISTRY Life in an RNA World
    wint'00.html Vol. I U · C H E M I S T R Y Life in an RNA World by Donald H. Burke, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Donald Burke joined the chemistry department as an assistant professor after receiving a PhD at the University of Califormia, Berkeley, and postdoctoral studies at the University of Colorado. We are indebted to him for this summary of the ongoing efforts in his and others' laborotories in this exciting research area. The Editors RNA-based life? It is the sort of thing they might have used on Star Trek, if they could have found a way to work it into the plot. They had creatures made from gigantic crystals, swarms of microscopic robots with a collective consciousness, and creatures that floated through outer space. Vulcan biochemistry was different enough that it used copper in place of iron to carry oxygen. Why not a cellular life form devoid of proteins, that used RNA molecules to perform catalysis and maintain genetic information? For the most part, if a macromolecule is doing work in a cell here on earth, that molecule is a protein, with a few notable, but isolated exceptions. Does it have to be that way? Can RNA replace proteins or even repair metabolic damage wrought by proteins that misbehave? The question lies at the heart of some avenues of biomedical and microbial engineering, and the answer may reveal much about the earliest forms of life on earth. The last four decades have seen a steady shift in the perception of RNA's role in biology.

Raman gain for all-optical amplification by fibers depends significantly on the cross section for spontaneous Raman scattering allowing to compare signal strength and spectral coverage. We also investigate the relationship between glass structure and the Boson peak (enhancement of the low-frequency vibrational density of states) and report new inelastic neutron scattering spectra for niobium-phosphate glasses.
