High-resolution vacuum-ultraviolet spectroscopy of an electron-cooled D- beam.

The shape parameters for the lowest-lying (1)P(o) resonance, (2)¿0¿-3, of D- have been measured using high-resolution vacuum-ultraviolet spectroscopy. The experiment was performed at the storage ring ASTRID, and the resonance was resolved by applying electron cooling to reduce the velocity spread of the ion beam. The resonance has a width of 37(3) microeV while the asymmetry parameter q of the Fano profile is -16(3). These values present the first critical test of a large number of theoretical calculations.

[Indicators for alcohol abuse in female drunk drivers. (Comparative study with alcohol intoxicated male automobile drivers)].

Women account for about 12% of all cases of drink driving in German cities. Little is known about their drinking behaviour and the extent of their alcohol misuse. In order that these questions may be clarified, three major studies were evaluated. In these studies, additional indicators for alcohol misuse such as GGT or methanol and acetone+isopropanol or indeed CDT, GGT, methanol and acetone+isopropanol were measured in blood samples. The results were compared with studies of the same kind on male car drivers. There were no significant differences in the ages of males and females. However, there were no differences at all regarding the frequency of the blood alcohol levels or the CDT. Indicators levels of chronic alcohol abuse, such als GGT levels above 70 U/L, methanol levels above 10.00 mg/kg or acetone+isopropanol concentrations above 9.00 mg/kg were approximately the same with women as they were with men. This demonstrates an increasing similarity amongst male and female DWI drivers regarding the drinking behaviour and alcohol abuse.

[Methanol, isopropanol, n-propanol--endogenous formation affected by alcohol?].

Methanol, isopropanol and n-propanol are detected usually in blood samples during the determination of congeners. The ethanol-induces formation of methanol and isopropanol has been described formerly. Also little amount of n-propanol were detected in blood, which could not be reduced to the alcoholic beverages.

[Optimizing carbon monoxide detection in biological material].

The determination of the CO-content is difficult in heated or putrified samples of blood and tissues. The preparation of these materials and a sensitive gas-chromatographic detection of small amounts of carbon-monoxide with head-space technique are described. The iron-content of a sample is a measure for the complete saturation with carbon-monoxide. This content is measured with AAS in the same vessel used before to determine CO. The presented method is suited too for ecological studies.
