Molecular and crystal structures of hemigossypolone and gossypolone

The results are given of an x-ray structural investigation of hemigossypolone isolated from the stems of a wiltinfected cotton plant and of gossypolone obtained by oxidizing gossypol.     

Dependence of the relative retention of organic compounds on the nature and pressure of the carrier gas and on the thickness of the PEG-20M film in the capillary column

The effects of the carrier gas nature and pressure on the relative retention values of organic compounds were studied using a series of capillary columns differing in the film thickness of the polar stationary phase (PEG-20M). Relative retention depends linearly on the carrier gas pressure. This dependence becomes more pronounced in the following order of carrier gases: helium < nitrogen < carbon dioxide. The limiting relative retention at a carrier gas pressure approaching zero rather than relative retention values measured experimentally (relative retention time, Kovats retention index,etc.) is an invariant characteristic of a compound subjected to chromatography. For the carrier gases studied, the limiting retention values almost does not depend on the nature of the carrier gas used. The limiting indicating the complex absorption-adsorption nature of these parameters. Dissolution of a carrier gas in the stationary liquid phase has an effect on the relative retention.

Preconcentration of poorly volatile impurities in thin-layer chromatography by thermodesorption of a volatile matrix

A method for preconcentration of poorly volatile impurities by continuous thermodesorption of the major component on a TLC plate is proposed. The method provides multiple (200–500) concentration of the organic impurities present in the initial solution. A simple device for such concentration is suggested.

Investigation of the products of the oxidation of gossypol structure of gossindan

A new compound, which we have called gossindan, has been isolated from the products of the oxidation of gossypol by oxygen in an alkaline medium. The structure of gossindan has been established on the basis of a study of IR, mass, PMR, and¹³C NMR spectra and x-ray structural analysis as 6,6-di-(2,7-dihydroxy-3-isopropyl-5-methylindan-1-one).A.

On the theory of singular optimal controls in dynamic systems with control delay

An optimal control problem with a control delay is considered, and a more broad class of singular (in classical sense) controls is investigated. Various sequences of necessary conditions for the optimality of singular controls in recurrent form are obtained. These optimality conditions include analogues of the Kelley, Kopp–Moyer, R. Gabasov, and equality-type conditions. In the proof of the main results, the variation of the control is defined using Legendre polynomials.     

The Cauchy Problem for the System of Maxwell Equations

We consider the problem of analytic continuation of a solution to the system of Maxwell equations in a bounded spatial domain from data on part of the boundary of the domain. We construct an approximate solution to the problem using the Carleman matrix method.
