Dependence of calculated collective nuclear properties on the form of the potential energy and inertia tensor

A systematic study of the dependence of the collective quantities (energies and matrix elements of the E2, M1 and E0 moments) on the form of approximations to the potential energy V and the inertia tensor B is performed. Various approximations used up to now are tested. Macroscopic-microscopic values for V and cranking results for B are taken as a reference. The collective quantities are calculated by solving the Schrödinger equation corresponding to the collective Bohr hamiltonian. The contribution of all nucleons is explicitly taken into account; no renormalization factors are used. Spherical, transitional and deformed even-even nuclei are considered. The quality of various approximations for V and B used in the boson-expansion method is discussed. Large effects of the microstructure of the inertia tensor B are obtained and commented on.     

Thermal stability of polyurethanes

Summary The combined application of thermogravimetry reactiongas chromatography and gel-permeation chromatography permits to follow the heat degradation of polyurethane polymers in inert gas, air and water-saturated environment. The examinations give information on the rate of thermal degradation, the individual volatile degradation components, the critical points of the polymer chains and on the change of their molecular-weight distribution. Gas chromatographic examinations also permit the identification of the chain-extending components of different types of polyurethanes.     

3-O-Methyl-6-desoxy-D-allose. Desoxyzucker, 38. Mitteilung

3-O-Methyl-6-deoxy-D -allose (V) and its methyl β-D -pyranoside (IV) have been synthesized and obtained in a crystalline state, although in low yield, starting from methyl 6-deoxy-β-D -allopyranoside (I) via the 2,4-di-O-benzoyl derivative II.     

Sulla quasi additività per raffinamenti

We introduce two new sufficient conditions for the existence of Burkill-Cesari integral: the «quasi additivity by refinement» and the «almost quasi additivity by refinement», that are intermediate between the well-known concepts of quasi additivity; moreover we study the behavior of these concepts in relation to subsets.

Generalized reflective cum coreflective classes in Top and Unif

The Herrlich's problem from [8] whether there are nontrivial classes of topological spaces that are both almost reflective or injective and almost coreflective or projective, is investigated in a more general setting using cone and cocone modifications of the classes used in the problem. We look also at the problem for uniform spaces. Typical results: There is no nontrivial multiprojective and orthogonal class of topological spaces; There is a reflective class of uniform spaces that is almost coreflective in Unif.Work on this paper was initiated while the first author was a C.N.R. visitor of the University of L'Aquila.

An Azulenic Bacteriorhodopsin Analog Has Photoinduced Activity

Abstract— The photoinduced changes of absorbance as well as proton release and uptake have been observed for an azulenic analog of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin. The release and uptake of protons have been measured using a highly sensitive electrochemical technique. Bacteriorhodopsin membrane patches on a tin-oxide electrode produce a transient photocurrent that is negative for proton release and positive for proton uptake. For azulenic bacteriorhodopsin the photocurrent is approximately 20% of the transient observed with native bacteriorhodopsin. The existence of the photoinduced absorbance changes and the transient photocurrent are important results for gaining further insight into the photoinduced function of bacteriorhodopsin.     

A network formulation of market equilibrium problems and variational inequalities

This paper shows that market equilibrium problems of production may generally be modelled as equilibrium flow problems in networks and that their equilibrium conditions can be visualized as a variational inequality. This connection would allow us to transplant directly elements of the well-developed theory of equilibrium flow in networks to the theory of market equilibrium.
