Antimicorbial effects of newly synthesized organotin(IV) and organolead(IV) derivatives

Triorganotin(IV) and triorganolead(IV) derivatives of the types Me₃Sn(SCZ) and Ph₃Pb(SCZ) (where SCZ^? is the anion of a semicarbanzone ligand) have been synthesized by substitution reactions of trimethyltin chloride and triphenyl-lead chloride with semicarbazones derived from heterocyclic ketones. The resulting complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecualr weight determinations and conductivity measurements. The mode of bonding has been established on the basis of infrared and ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopic studies. Some respresentative complexes have also been evaluated for their antimicrobial effects on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria; the results of these investigations have been reported in the present paper.     

Calorimetric study of Diepoxide Chain-Extended Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

A series of chain-extended PET samples were obtained by the use of different amounts of a diepoxide as chain extender, which was prepared for this purpose. These samples exhibited different intrinsic viscosities and degrees of branching or cross-linking. The effects of this differentiation on the thermal properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The thermal parameters studied were the glass transition temperature (T_g), the cold-crystallization temperature (T_cc), the melting temperature (T_m), the enthalpy (ΔH_m) and the degree of crystallinity. The data revealed that, the higher the quantity of chain extender or the chain extension time, the higher T_gand T_cc, but the lower T_mand ΔH_m, i.e. the more amorphous the chain-extended samples, as also shown by density measurements.

Dimensional reduction for Helmholtz's equation on a bounded domain

Summary. The dimensional reduction method for solving boundary value problems of Helmholtz's equation in domain by replacing them with systems of equations in dimensional space are investigated. It is proved that the existence and uniqueness for the exact solution and the dimensionally reduced solution of the boundary value problem if the input data on the faces are in some class of functions. In addition, the difference between and in is estimated as and are fixed. Finally, some numerical experiments in a domain are given in order to compare theretical results.

An evolutionary method for optimization of plate buckling resistance

Optimization of plate buckling resistance is very complicated, because the in-plane stress resultants in the prebuckled state of a plate are functions of thickness distribution. This paper discusses the problem of finding the optimum thickness distribution of isotropic plate structures, with a given volume and layout, that would maximise the buckling load. A simple numerical method using the finite-element analysis is presented to obtain the optimum thickness distribution. Optimum designs of compression-loaded rectangular plates with different boundary conditions and plate aspect ratios are obtained by using the proposed method. Optimum designs from earlier studies and the methods of buckling analysis used to attain these results are discussed and compared with the designs from the proposed method. This paper also examines the reliability of the optimality criterion generally used for plate buckling optimization, which is based on the uniform strain energy density.

Large-time behavior of perturbed diffusion markov processes with applications to the second eigenvalue problem for fokker-planck operators and simulated annealing

We study the large-time behavior and rate of convergence to the invariant measures of the processes dX (t)=b(X) (t)) dt + (X (t)) dB(t). A crucial constant appears naturally in our study. Heuristically, when the time is of the order exp( – )/² , the transition density has a good lower bound and when the process has run for about exp( – )/², it is very close to the invariant measure. LetL =(²/2) – U · be a second-order differential operator on ^d. Under suitable conditions,L ^z has the discrete spectrum

Cardinal hermite interpolation with box splines II

Summary In the present work we extent the results in [RS] on CHIP, i.e. Cardinal Hermite Interpolation by the span of translates of directional derivatives of a box spline. These directional derivatives are that ones which define the type of the Hermite Interpolation. We admit here several (linearly independent) directions with multiplicities instead of one direction as in [RS]. Under the same assumptions on the smoothness of the box spline and its defining matrixT we can prove as in [RS]: CHIP has a system of fundamental solutions which are inL L ² together with its directional derivatives mentioned above. Moreover, for data sequences inl ^p ( ^d ), 1p2, there is a spline function inL ^p, 1/p+1/p=1, which solves CHIP.Research supported in part by NSERC Canada under Grant # A7687.

On a question of H. Kraljević

In this paper, assuming a certain set-theoretic hypothesis, a positive answer is given to a question of H. Kraljevi, namely it is shown that there exists a Lebesgue measurable subsetA of the real line such that the set {c R: A + cA contains an interval} is nonmeasurable. Here the setA + cA = {a + ca: a, a A}. Two other results about sets of the formA + cA are presented.
