Establishment of The Power—Time Curve Equation of Bacterial Growth in the Log Phase

The power-time curves of two species of bacteria, Vibro metschnikovii, Vibro bollisae were determined calorimetrically by using a 2277 bioactivity monitor. The power-time curve equation of bacterial growth in the log phase can be expressed as

On the Diameter of Plane Curves

Recently, differential geometric properties of embedded projective varieties have gained increasing interest. In this note, we consider plane algebraic curves equipped with the Fubini--Study metric from₂ () and give an estimate for the diameter in terms of the degree, initiated in a paper by F. A. Bogomolov.     

Growth Curve Model with Hierarchical Within-Individuals Design Matrices

This paper deals with some inferential problems under an extended growth curve model with several hierarchical within-individuals design matrices. The model includes the one whose mean structure consists of polynomial growth curves with different degrees. First we consider the case when the covariance matrix is unknown positive definite. We derive a LR test for examining the hierarchical structure for within individuals design matrices and a model selection criterion. Next we consider the case when a random coefficients covariance structure is assumed, under certain assumption of between-individual design matrices. Similar inferential problems are also considered. The dental measurement data (see, e.g., Potthoff and Roy (1964, Biometrika, 51, 313-326)) is reexamined, based on extended growth curve models.     

A Characterization Theorem for the Canonical Basis of a Closure Operator

The purpose of this paper is to provide a characterization result for the canonical basis of an arbitrary closure operator. This theorem strengthens the result of Burosch, Demetrovics and Katona, who propose a characterization of the generating system of a closure operator defined by the quasi-closed sets of the closure operator.

Wei Hua’s four-parameter potential: Comments and computation of molecular constants αe and εeXe

The value of adjustable parameterC in the four-parameter potentialU(r) =D _e [(1 - exp[-b(r -r _e)])/(1 -C exp[-b(r -r _e)])]² has been expressed in terms of molecular parameters and its significance has been brought out. The potential so constructed, withC derived from the molecular parameters, has been applied to ten electronic states in addition to the states studied by Wei Hua. Average mean deviation for these 25 states has been found to be 3.47 as compared to 6.93, 6.95 and 9.72 obtained from Levine, Varshni and Morse potentials, respectively. Also Dunham’s method has been used to express rotation-vibration interaction constant (α_e) and anharmonicity constant (ω_ex_e) in terms ofC and other molecular constants. These relations have been employed to determine these quantities for 37 electronic states. For α_e, the average mean deviation is 7.2% compared to 19.7% for Lippincott’s potential which is known to be the best to predict these values. Average mean deviation for (ω_ex_e) turns out to be 17.4% which is almost the same as found from Lippincott’s potential function.     

Response of electrochemically etched CR-39 detectors to protons

The neutron response of electrochemically etched (ECE) CR-39 detectors is determined by the energy and angular dependence of the response to neutron-induced charged particles. This response has been measured for the example of protons with various initial energies and angles of incidence. Besides, some studies were made for modeling the mechanism of ECE of the proton trajectories with the aim of deriving the critical angle of incidence.     

High-temperature series analysis of the p-state Potts glass model on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices

We analyze recently extended high-temperature series expansions for the “Edwards-Anderson” spin-glass susceptibility of the p-state Potts glass model on d-dimensional hypercubic lattices for the case of a symmetric bimodal distribution of ferro- and antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor couplings . In these star-graph expansions up to order 22 in the inverse temperature , the number of Potts states p and the dimension d are kept as free parameters which can take any value. By applying several series analysis techniques to the new series expansions, this enabled us to determine the critical coupling K_c and the critical exponent of the spin-glass susceptibility in a large region of the two-dimensional (p,d)-parameter space. We discuss the thus obtained information with emphasis on the lower and upper critical dimensions of the model and present a careful comparison with previous estimates for special values of p and d.
