Studies on the extraction of vanadium (IV) in the presence of some anions and neutral oxygen donors

Extraction of vanadium (IV) in the presence of perchlorate, nitrate, halides, and thiocyanate and neutral oxygen donors liken-butanol, TBP and antipyrine into various solvents is studied. Composition of the extracting species and the stability constants are determined. The effectiveness of the three neutral oxygen donors studied in the extraction of vanadium (IV)-anion systems is found to follow the order: antipyrine > TBP >n-butanol.     

Internal Bremsstrahlung from14C and36Cl

The Internal Bremsstrahlung (IB) spectra emitted in the beta decays of¹⁴C and³⁶Cl are measured with a HPGe detector and a multichannel analyser along with a standard geometrical set up. The experimental results are compared with the corresponding theoretical distributions due to Knipp and Uhlenbeck and Bloch (KUB), Lewis and Ford, Nilsson and also due to Chang and Falkoff. The total IB yields of intensity and of energy from each of the isotopes in the investigated energy regions are also determined and compared with the corresponding theoretical values. The present results of IB from¹⁴C are found to be in excess over all the corresponding theoretical distributions throughout the investigated photon energy region from 60 keV to 130 keV. It may also be pointed out that the IB from this isotope has not been studied earlier and as such the results in this case are considered new and important. In the case of³⁶Cl the experimental results are found to be above KUB theory but corresponding closely to the theory of Chang and Falkoff, except below 150 keV where there is experimental excess over theory.     

Surface remodeling of bones induced by intra-medullary nailing

The paper is devoted to a study on the surface remodeling of bones. Anisotropy and piezoelectricity of bone tissue (as per previous experimental studies) are incorporated in the analysis. Surface remodeling induced by intra-medullary nailing is of primary concern in the study.     

Iminodiacetic acid/ethylcellulose as a chelating ion exchanger: Part 2. Determination of trace metals by inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

A chelate-forming cellulose, iminodiacetic acid/ethylcellulose (IDAEC), is applied to the collection of metals from ammonium citrate and acetate solutions. A method is devised for the i.c.p./a.e.s. determination of metal contaminants in magnesium by separation and preconcentration of the metals with IDAEC.     

Reductions of points on elliptic curves

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over \mathbbQ{\mathbb{Q}}. Let Γ be a subgroup of rank r of the group of rational points E(\mathbbQ){E(\mathbb{Q})} of E. For any prime p of good reduction, let [`(G)]{\bar{\Gamma}} be the reduction of Γ modulo p. Under certain standard assumptions, we prove that for almost all primes p (i.e. for a set of primes of density one), we have

Modular forms and effective Diophantine approximation

After the work of G. Frey, it is known that an appropriate bound for the Faltings height of elliptic curves in terms of the conductor (Frey?s height conjecture) would give a version of the ABC conjecture. In this paper we prove a partial result towards Frey?s height conjecture which applies to all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, not only Frey curves. Our bound is completely effective and the technique is based in the theory of modular forms. As a consequence, we prove effective explicit bounds towards the ABC conjecture of similar strength to what can be obtained by linear forms in logarithms, without using the latter technique. The main application is a new effective proof of the finiteness of solutions to the S-unit equation (that is, S-integral points of ${\mathbb{P}}^1?\{0,1,\infty \}$), with a completely explicit and effective bound, without using any variant of Baker?s theory or the Thue–Bombieri method.

Transcendental values of the digamma function

Let ψ(x) denote the digamma function, that is, the logarithmic derivative of Euler's Γ-function. Let q be a positive integer greater than 1 and γ denote Euler's constant. We show that all the numbers
