Adding visualization functions of DAVIS to Jasp: Mixing two Java-based statistical systems

Summary  Jasp is an experimental general purpose Java-based statistical system which adopts several new computing technologies. It has a function-based and object-oriented language, an advanced user interface, flexible extensibility and a server/client architecture with distributed computing abilities. DAVIS is, on the other hand, a stand-alone Java-based system, and is designed for providing advanced data visualization functions with easy operations by a GUI. In this paper, it is made possible to use tools of DAVIS from within Jasp, in order that the new integrated system can handle not only data filtering and statistical analysis but also data visualization. We develop a mechanism for extending the server/client system of Jasp to realize an efficient collaboration with DAVIS in the client-side. It is shown that the mechanism is straightforward and simple.

Rotational isomerism and physical properties of long-chain molecules in solid states

Rotational isomerism occurring in solid state of organic long-chain compounds, including synthetic linear polymers, have been concerned in connection with the macroscopic physical properties of bulk materials. The conformational order in the non-crystalline part of polyethylene has been investigated by Raman spectra, and related to the elastic behaviors of bulk samples. In the solid-state phase transition induced by mechanical forces of poly(butylene terephthalate) the macroscopic strain has been related directly to the conformational conversion of the molecules. Concerning the piezoelectric and pyroelectric activities of poly(vinylidene fluoride), polymorphism, phase transition, and structural change on the poling process have been investigated. A ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition has been found for a series of copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene. On the phase transition a great change in molecular conformation is accompanied with the scrambling of the dipolar orientation. This is the characteristic of polymer ferroelectrics in which the dipolar units are linked with each other by covalent bonds in a molecular chain. Spectroscopic evidences are presented indicating that the thermodynamic stability of polymorphs of n-fatty acids is closely related to the rotational isomerism occurring in the carboxyl groups.     

Stereoselective synthesis of β-fluoroallyl alcohols

β-Fluoroallyl alcohols ($\text{6}$) were obtained with high stereoselectivity by the LiA1H₄ reduction of 1-acetoxy-3-alkyl-2,2-difluorocyclopropanes ($\text{5}$).

Analysis on the minimal representation of O(p,q) I. Realization via conformal geometry

This is the first in a series of papers devoted to an analogue of the metaplectic representation, namely the minimal unitary representation of an indefinite orthogonal group; this representation corresponds to the minimal nilpotent coadjoint orbit in the philosophy of Kirillov–Kostant. We begin by applying methods from conformal geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds to a general construction of an infinite-dimensional representation of the conformal group on the solution space of the Yamabe equation. By functoriality of the constructions, we obtain different models of the unitary representation, as well as giving new proofs of unitarity and irreducibility. The results in this paper play a basic role in the subsequent papers, where we give explicit branching formulae, and prove unitarization in the various models.     

Kinetic analysis of distribution of weak acid in an oil-gelatin microcapsule/water system studied by microcapillary injection and microabsorption methods.

The distribution of anthracene-9-carboxylic acid across dibutyl phthalate/gelatin-membrane/water interface of a single microcapsule was analyzed using microcapillary manipulation and microabsorption methods. The partitioning ratio and the distribution rate in the microcapsule/water system were measured for various pH values in the water phase. Results were compared with those in the dibutyl phthalate/water system in the absence of the gelatin membrane. The distribution rate could be analyzed on the basis of a first-order type reaction. The observed rate constant was linearly proportional to the inverse of the microcapsule radius, indicating that the distribution rate is limited by interfacial mass transfer. Analysis of the pH dependence of the interfacial mass transfer rate suggests that the mass transfer of the neutral species of anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (AnH) competes with the ion transfer of the dissociated species (An-) at the liquid/liquid interface in the gelatin membrane of the microcapsule.     

Diphenylboron perchlorate as an efficient catalyst for self- and cross-condensation reactions of aldehydes having α-active hydrogens

Diphenylboron perchlorate very smoothly catalyzed self- and cross-condensation reactions of aldehydes at rt in nitroethane. The new catalyst provided novel behaviors owing to the characteristics of possessing a covalency in the boronoxygen bond, compared with ionic perchlorates.
