Water revealed as molecular mirror when measuring low concentrations of sugar with near infrared light

Near infrared spectroscopy is an overtone spectroscopy regarded as a quick and non-destructive method that provides analytical solutions for components that represent approximately 1% or more of the total mass of the investigated composite samples. Aquaphotomics offers the possibility for disentanglement of information remaining hidden in the spectra when conventional data evaluation methods are used, since this concept utilizes changes of the water structure induced by the measured solute as specific molecular vibrations at water bands. Here, near infrared technique and aquaphotomics are applied for non-destructive identification and quantification of mono- and di-saccharide solutes at 100–0.02 mM concentration that is accepted as unachievable with near infrared spectroscopy. The results presented in this study support the aquaphotomics' water molecular mirror concept that explores spectral changes related to water molecular rearrangements caused by minute changes of the solutes in the aqueous systems. The method provides quick and accurate alternative for classical analytical measurements of saccharides even at millimolar concentration levels.     

The representations of nested composition algebras

In this paper, we investigate the basis graph of the monoid algebra of a submonoid of the monoid of mappings from N = {1,…,n} to itself, defined by a nested sequence of compositions of N. Each such monoid is a left regular band (LRB), that is, a semigroup S satisfying x² = x and xyx = xy for all x,y∈S. This class is su?ciently rich that every path algebra of an acyclic quiver can be embedded in such a monoid algebra. The multiplication in the monoid algebra has a particularly simple quasi-multiplicative form, allowing definition over the integers. Combining this with a formula for Ext-groups for LRBs due to Margolis et al. [6 Margolis, S., Saliola, F., Steinberg, B. (2015). Combinatorial topology and the global dimension of algebras arising in combinatorics. J. Eur. Math Soc. 17(12):3037–3080.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], we get a simple criterion for the nested composition algebras to be hereditary.

The shapes of shear body waves in periodically inhomogeneous, magnetostrictive, dielectric media are studied with emphasis on the partial (elastic and magnetostrictive) wave motions coupled to produce magnetoelastic waves __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 7, pp. 57–63, July 2006.     

Effect of Isochronous Annealing on the Formation of Shear Bands in the Vicinity of a Stress Concentrator on the Surface of Iron-Based Amorphous Alloys

The effect of isochronous annealing on the formation of shear bands in the vicinity of a stress concentrator on the surface of an amorphous material is studied. Using the local deformation method, a parameter is introduced to determine the temperature interval in which amorphous and crystal phases coexist.

A class of Finsler metrics of scalar flag curvature

It is known that every locally projectively flat Finsler metric is of scalar flag curvature. Conversely, it may not be true. In this paper, for a certain class of Finsler metrics, we prove that it is locally projectively flat if and only if it is of scalar flag curvature. Moreover, we establish a class of new non-trivial examples.     

超声速平板圆台突起物绕流实验和数值模拟研究

高速飞行器表面不可避免的存在突起物并形成复杂流场, 从而引起飞行器气动特性和热载荷的变化; 同时, 突起物是流动控制的重要方法之一, 合适的突起物形状及安装位置对于改善冲压发动机进气道性能有重要意义. 本文采用基于纳米粒子的平面激光散射技术(NPLS)研究了马赫3.0来流边界层为层流的平板上三个不同高度圆台突起物绕流流场, 主要关注了突起物后方的尾迹边界层, 并采用高精度的显式五阶精度加权紧致非线性格式(WCNS-E-5)离散求解Navier-Stokes方程模拟了该流场. 获得了超声速圆台绕流精细流场结构, 观察到突起物后方尾迹区域边界层发展的过程. 结合实验和数值模拟结果可以发现, 当圆台高度接近或者小于当地边界层厚度时, 突起物对边界层的扰动非常弱, 圆台后方尾迹边界层能够维持较长距离的层流状态, 在边界层转捩阶段也有清晰的发卡涡结构出现; 反之, 边界层受到的扰动明显增大, 在突起物后方很快发展为湍流; 风洞噪声对本文研究圆台引起的边界层扰动有一定影响, 实验获得的边界层转捩位置要比数值结果靠前. 基于NPLS流场图像, 采用间歇性方法分析了圆台突起物后方边界层的特性, 对于高度大于边界层厚度的圆台其间歇性曲线较为接近并且更加饱满, 边界层的脉动也更为强烈.     

Extremely localized nonorthogonal orbitals by the pairing theorem

Using the concepts of L?wdin pairing theorem, a method is developed to calculate extremely localized, but nonorthogonal, sets of molecular orbitals and their strictly localized counterparts. The method is very suitable to study to what extent a given model of bonding in a given molecule can be considered adequate from the point of view of the actual LCAO-MO (Hartree Fock or DFT) wave function and is expected to be useful for doing local approximations of electron correlation.
