TL;DR: The isotropic hyperfine couplings of the three hydrogens of the trapped radical were found to be 120, 76 and 14 Mc/s at 77°k as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The change in the electron resonance spectrum of a γ-irradiated single crystal of l-α-alanine on cooling to 77°k has been interpreted in terms of the cessation of rotation of the methyl group of the trapped radical, CH3ĊHCOOH. The isotropic hyperfine couplings of the three hydrogens of the methyl group are found to be 120, 76 and 14 Mc/s respectively compared to the value of 70 Mc/s each at 300°k. The geometry of the free radical at 77°k is such that, in projection on a plane perpendicular to the Ċ-CH3 bond, one of the C-H bonds makes an angle of about 12° to the plane of the free radical centre and this hydrogen is probably adjacent to the carboxyl group.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the measurement methodologies most commonly employed for the analysis of various forms of mercury (Hg) in air is presented, focusing on the three most common forms of Hg in air.
Abstract: This review critically evaluates the measurement methodologies most commonly employed for the analysis of the various forms of mercury (Hg) in air. Emphasis is given to the three most common forms of mercury in air [i.e. gaseous elemental mercury (GEM, Hg0), reactive gaseous mercury (RGM), and particle-bound mercury (Hgp)]. Moreover, we also briefly describe methods dealing with gas-phase analysis of organic mercury species (e.g., mostly methyl mercury), as they are also reported to be present in air on rare occasions. To begin with, we describe the approaches to sampling airborne mercury species and associated sample-treatment strategies. We evaluate both conventional and emerging alternative detection techniques for different mercury forms with respect to their applicability in airborne mercury analysis. We also discuss the artifacts and the biases associated with analysis of different mercury species. Finally, the review summarizes current methodological developments for the determination of mercury in air and highlights future prospects for improvements.

TL;DR: In this paper, high aspect ratio multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were prepared by solvent casting followed by compression molding technique.
Abstract: High aspect ratio multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were prepared by solvent casting followed by compression molding technique. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of these composites was investigated in the frequency range of 12.4–18 GHz (Ku-band) for the first time. The experimental results indicate that the EMI-SE of these composites is sensitive to the MWCNT loading. The average value of EMI-SE reaches 22.4 dB for 10 wt% MWCNT-LDPE composites, indicating the usefulness of this material for EMI shielding in the Ku-band. The main reason for improved SE has been attributed to significant improvement in the electrical conductivity of the composites by 20 orders of magnitude, i.e., from 10−20 for pure LDPE to 0.63 S/cm for MWCNT-LDPE, which is three order of magnitude higher than the previous reports for MWCNT-LDPE composites. Differential scanning calorimetry of the MWCNT-LDPE composites showed around 37% improvement in the crystalline contents over pure LDPE samples which resulted into enhanced thermal stability of the composites. The thermal decomposition temperature of LDPE is shifted by 40 °C on addition of 5 wt% MWCNT. The studies therefore show that these composite can be used as light weight, thermally stable EMI shielding, and antistatic material.
