Compactness of Some Operators of Convolution Type in Generalized Morrey Spaces

Sufficient conditions for the compactness in generalized Morrey spaces of the composition of a convolution operator and the operator of multiplication by an essentially bounded function are obtained. Very weak conditions on the function are also obtained under which the commutator of the operator of multiplication by such a function and a convolution operator is compact. The compactness of convolution operators in domains of cone type is investigated.     

Properties of Polyurethanes Prepared by Structuring Oligodienediols at Double Bonds and Hydroxyl Groups

The curing of oligodienediol with a combined system consisting of a polyisocyanate and a (meth)acrylate-containing compound, which allows it to be structured with the polyisocyanate both at the terminal hydroxyl groups and double bonds due to the (meth)acrylate component, has been studied. The effect of the concentration of the (meth)acrylate component and a peroxide initiator to the degree of cross linking and strength properties of elastomers has been revealed. It has been shown that the participation of oligomer double bonds to form a vulcanization structure, creating the effect of “healing” defects from functional heterogeneity, allows one to increase the degree of cross linking and strength properties of polyurethanes.     

Infinitely many reducts of homogeneous structures

It is shown that the countably infinite dimensional pointed vector space (the vector space equipped with a constant) over a finite field has infinitely many first order definable reducts. This implies that the countable homogeneous Boolean-algebra has infinitely many reducts.     

The Synergistic Effect of a Mixture of the Oligomer of 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,2-Digidrochinoline and Polymeric Petroleum Resin on the Adhesion of Chlorobutyl Rubber to Steel

Studies have been carried out to increase the adhesion and heat resistance of insulating tape coatings based on chlorobutyl rubber applied on pipelines. It is shown that the synergistic effect of the growth of adhesion of chlorobutyl rubber to steel by the co-administration of the oligomer of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline and polymeric petroleum resin is due to the increased interaction of the oligomer with chlorobutyl rubber under the action of a polymeric petroleum resin and the high adhesion of the oligomer to steel.     

Reconciling Electrostatic and n→π* Orbital Contributions in Carbonyl Interactions

Interactions between carbonyl groups are prevalent in protein structures. Earlier investigations identified dominant electrostatic dipolar interactions, while others implicated lone pair n→π* orbital delocalisation. Here these observations are reconciled. A combined experimental and computational approach confirmed the dominance of electrostatic interactions in a new series of synthetic molecular balances, while also highlighting the distance-dependent observation of inductive polarisation manifested by n→π* orbital delocalisation. Computational fiSAPT energy decomposition and natural bonding orbital analyses correlated with experimental data to reveal the contexts in which short-range inductive polarisation augment electrostatic dipolar interactions. Thus, we provide a framework for reconciling the context dependency of the dominance of electrostatic interactions and the occurrence of n→π* orbital delocalisation in C=O⋅⋅⋅C=O interactions.
