Time integration of the non-linear Galerkin method

e-mail: bosco{at}mac.cie.uva.es, frutos@mac.cie.uva.es Numerical tests are presented that, for the Kuramoto-Sivashinskyand a reaction-diffusion equation, compare the non-linear Galerkinmethod with standard pseudospectral and pure spectral Galerkindiscretizations. The results show that, for these problems,the non-linear Galerkin method is not competitive with eitherpure spectral Galerkin or pseudospectral discretizations.     

Exponential stability for a contact problem in thermoelasticity

We consider the unilateral problem for the thermoelastic equationand we show that the solution decays exponentially to zero astime goes to infinity; that is, denoting by E(t) the first-orderenergy of the system, we show that positive constants C and exist which satisfy E(t)CE(0)e^–$$$.

采用吸光光度法对龙爪芦荟和库拉索芦荟中的微量锗进行了测定,并探讨了两种芦荟的红外光谱的区别。结果表明,龙爪芦荟中含锗量在26.1～28.6μg·g-1,回收率为91.6%～97 5%。库拉索芦荟中含锗量在16.8～20.0μg·g-1,回收率为87.1%～94.5%。两种芦荟的FT IR光谱图在2100cm-1处有明显差异,由此可区别两种芦荟。     

Krametosan, a new trinorlignan from the roots of Krameria tomentosa

A new phenylcoumarone type trinorlignan, krametosan (1), along with the known norlignans, ratanhiaphenol I (2) and 2-(2'-hydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-(E)-propenylbenzofuran (3), the lignan conocarpan (4) and dinorlignan decurrenal (5), were isolated from the CHCl3 extract of the roots of Krameria tomentosa. The structure of these compounds were elucidated by the spectroscopic methods.     

LIGHT PROMOTION OF SEED GERMINATION IN Datura ferox IS MEDIATED BY A HIGHLY STABLE POOL OF PHYTOCHROME

Abstract— The duration of the far-red light-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr) of the photoreceptor pool involved in the control of seed germination was investigated for Datura ferox seeds. These seeds require both Pfr and alternating temperatures (20/30°C) to germinate. After 24 h imbibition (25°C), the seeds received pretreatment-light pulses providing different phytochrome photoequilibria (Pfr/P), followed by a 24 h dark incubation (25°C), and test-light pulses providing different Pfr/P immediately prior to transfer to alternating temperatures. Germination increased with increasing Pfr/P provided by the test-light pulses, but was unaffected by the pretreatment-light pulses. This suggests that phytochrome synthesis, phytochrome degradation and phytochrome-mediated changes in response to phytochrome were negligible. In other experiments, red light-pretreatment pulses were followed by dark incubations (25°C) of different duration before transfer to alternating temperatures. The proportion of Pfr remaining after the 25°C incubation period was estimated by comparing germination rates with those of seeds that received test-light pulses of known calculated Pfr/P immediately prior to the start of the cycles of alternating temperatures. More than 80% of the Pfr established by a Pfr/P= 0.87 light pulse was present and active even after 48 h dark incubation at 25°C. Surprisingly, when a pretreatmentlight pulse providing a Pfr/P= 0.70 was given, the reduction in [Pfr] was significantly faster.
Germination of Datura ferox seeds is under the control of a highly stable (type II like) phytochrome pool. Apparently, this pool follows Pfr dark reversion to the red light-absorbing form, the times to reach half the original Pfr pool being > 96 h or <14 h after light pulses providing Pfr/P= 0.87 or 0.70, respectively.     

Hydrogen storage inside a toroidal carbon nanostructure C120: Density functional theory computer simulation

Ab initio density functional calculations were performed for a toroidal carbon C₁₂₀ nanostructure. Hydrogen molecules, n = 1–15, were added inside the nanotorus and for each one of these systems a geometry optimization was obtained. The cohesive energy shows that these structures are energetically stable. For example, the binding energies are ?34.95 and ?36.19 Hartrees and the interatomic distances H? H are 0.753 and 0.772 Å for 1 and 14 molecules, respectively. Considering only molecular hydrogen, we have always seen so far weak physisorption into the C₁₂₀ nanotorus. There is no chemisorption until the number oh hydrogen molecules are increased to 14. In this case, four hydrogen atoms are chemisorbed. With 15 molecules, there are 10 hydrogen atoms chemisorbed just at the inner nanotorus surface forming 10 H? C bondings with bond length close to that in methane. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

THE SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF GRADIENT ELUTION HPLC

The movement of a particular component along an HPLC column is studied on the ba-sis of equilibrium equations. Numerical simulation of multi--step gradient elution HPLC isperformed by means o? a personal computer program. The location x, as a fraction of thecolumn length, for a given time t o? each compound is calculated, the velocity and corre-sponding acceleration are given as well. Diagrams for x,dx/dt and d~2x/dt~2 versus t display themovement process of the different components along the HPLC column during gradient elu-tion. The prediction of the retention time and peak width, and the optimization for the multi-step gradient elution HPLC are all based on such simulation and the molecular structure ofthe. components is separated as well.     

PHOTOREACTIVATION IN THE EXTREME HALOPHILIC ARCHAEBACTERIUM Halobacterium cutirubrum

Abstract— Photoreactivation in the extreme halophilic archaebacterium Halobacterium cutirubrum was studied both in vivo and in vitro. Cells irradiated with ultraviolet (UV)-fluences up to 350 J/m² could be completely photoreactivated, indicating very efficient repair of pyrimidine dimers in UV-irradiated DNA. Dark repair is apparently absent in Halobacterium since liquid holding under non-growth conditions did not influence the survival of UV-irradiated cells, while cells remained completely photoreactivable with no change in the kinetics of photoreactivation. Experiments with Halobacterium isolates of different carotenoid content indicated that carotenoids do not influence either UV-inactivation or photoreactivation. Small differences in the rates of UV-inactivation and photoreactivation could be assigned to the occurrence of gas vesicles. Flash experiments and the temperature dependence of photoreactivation indicated an enzymatical reaction. This was confirmed by in vitro experiments with partially purified photoreactivating enzyme. The in vivo action spectrum of photoreactivation showed a main band in the 400-470 nm region with a maximum at 440 nm. Comparison with action spectra of other microorganisms classified the Halobacterium enzyme as a 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin type photoreactivating enzyme.
