A novel multi-molecular beam/infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) apparatus is described, which was constructed for studying mechanisms and kinetics of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions following a rigorous surface science approach in the pressure range from ultrahigh vacuum (UHV, 1 × 10-10 mbar) to near-ambient pressure (NAP, 1000 mbar) conditions. The apparatus comprises a preparation chamber equipped with standard surface science tools required for the preparation and characterization of model heterogeneous catalysts and two reaction chambers operating at different pressure ranges: in UHV and in the variable pressure range up to NAP conditions. The UHV reaction chamber contains two effusive molecular beams (flux up to 1.

Rationale: Ceria-based systems are of great interest because of their unique properties. Such systems may be used as anode materials for SOFCs or in oxygen sensors. The exploitation of these materials often requires high temperatures.

We present a case of descending necrotising mediastinitis (DNM) originating from a retropharyngeal abscess in a healthy early childhood patient. The patient had a history of fever, odynophagia and refusal to eat, followed by rapid deterioration of the clinical state. Cervicothoracic CT was performed, which revealed a right parapharyngeal abscess, extending to the mediastinum and occupying the retropharyngeal/visceral space, with gaseous content throughout this collection, associated with bilateral pleural effusion, aspects compatible with DNM.

The present investigation describes the experimental evaluation of relevant physicochemical properties of five organochlorine compounds (OCs), including some that are related to their environmental mobility. The vapor pressures of (2,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl)dichloroethane (2,4'-DDD, CASN:53-19-0), 1,1-Dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (4,4'-DDD, CASN:72-54-8) and 2,2-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid (4,4'-DDA, CASN:83-05-6), as well as of the bactericide Nitrapyrin (CASN:1929-82-4) and of the rodenticide Crimidine (CASN:535-89-7) were determined at different temperatures. The Knudsen mass-loss effusion technique was employed to determine the sublimation vapor pressures of the referred compounds, apart from Crimidine.

The enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase of methyl 3-methylanthranilate and methyl 5-methylanthranilate were determined from experimental measurements of the corresponding standard energies of combustion, obtained from combustion calorimetry, and the standard enthalpies of vaporization and sublimation, obtained from Calvet microcalorimetry and Knudsen mass-loss effusion. A computational study, using the G3(MP2)//B3LYP composite method, has also been performed for the calculation of the gas-phase standard enthalpies of formation of those two molecules at = 298.15 K, as well as for the remaining isomers, methyl 4-methylanthranilate and methyl 6-methylanthranilate.
