Mechanisms for the SAR Imaging of the Ocean

We perform a comparative analysis of two mechanisms for the formation of a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of the ocean, which are related to orbital velocities on the surface. It is shown that the mechanism of fluctuations of the effective density of scatterers, which is commonly accepted at present as the physical basis for the SAR diagnostics of roughness, actually works only in the case of a sufficiently flat swell. In the presence of wind roughness, the dominant role is played by another mechanism, namely, fluctuations of the number of surface elements whose images are randomly shifted and superimposed in the image plane due to orbital velocities. In the case of a developed wind roughness propagated in the azimuthal direction, the power contributions of two above-mentioned mechanisms to the SAR imaging of the ocean differ by about two orders of magnitude.     

Complexes of Some Pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinium Perchlorates with Scandium,Yttrium, and Lanthanum. Crystal and Molecular Structure of 3-Chloro-9-Hydroxy-2,4-Dimethylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinium Perchlorate

Complexes of scandium, yttrium, and lanthanum nitrates with 3-chloro-9-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinium perchlorate (HL¹ClO₄) and 9-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinium perchlorate (HL²ClO₄) were obtained. Their composition was formulated as Sc(LClO₄)₂(NO₃) and M(LClO₄)₂(NO₃)₂ (L = L¹ or L²; M = Y or La); structures for the complexes obtained were proposed. The crystal and molecular structure of HL¹ClO₄ was determined. Dissociation and complexation of HL¹ClO₄ and HL²ClO₄ in aqueous ethanol were studied using the spectroscopic method. Ligand dissociation and complexation constants were calculated. It was shown that a chlorine-containing organic ligand only slightly changes the composition and stability of the metal complexes.     

Measurement of the differential cross section and of the tensor and vector analyzing powers for the fragmentation of 4.5-GeV/c deuterons on beryllium in the reaction involving proton emission at an angle of 80 mrad

The invariant differential cross section, the tensor analyzing power A _yy , and the vector analyzing power A _y for the reaction ⁹Be(d, p)X are measured at an initial deuteron momentum of 4.5 GeV/c and a proton detection angle of about 80 mrad. The data obtained for the differential cross section are consistent with the results of measurements at 3.5 and 5.78 GeV/c and a proton emission angle of 2.5°. The values found for the tensor analyzing power A _yy are compared with similar data obtained previously for the deuteron-fragmentation process occurring on a carbon target at various values of the initial deuteron momentum and leading to proton emission at zero angle. The data on the differential cross section for the reaction ⁹Be(d, p)X can be satisfactorily described within the relativistic impulse approximation by using standard deuteron wave functions; however, the approach based on this conceptual framework proves to be inadequate in dealing with data on the tensor analyzing power. These results indicate that it is necessary either to change the method for describing the relativistic deuteron or to take into account additional mechanisms.     

On a Result of R. Turner

We study the similarity of perturbed compact operators to operators of block-diagonal structure with respect to some family of orthogonal projection operators, which allows us to refine and essentially strengthen results due to R. Turner. We obtain information about the operator realizing the similarity transformation, present estimates for the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the perturbed operator, and also study the inverse problem of spectral analysis.     

An algorithm to locate perinatal facilities in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro

In order to reduce infant mortality in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro it is desired to encourage all mothers-to-be to attend the appropriate health care facilities. A 3-level hierarchical prenatal–neonatal health care system is described together with a basic model for optimising accessibility to facilities. A genetic algorithm to solve the basic model is developed and some numerical experience reported. Extensions to the basic model and planned future research are briefly indicated.

Synthesis and Characterization of Silica@Copper Core–Shell Nanoparticles: Application for Conjugate Addition Reactions

Silica@copper (SiO₂@Cu) core–shell nanoparticles were synthesized and well characterized by XRD, TEM, AFM, XPS, UV/Vis, TGA–MS, and ICP–AES techniques. The synthesized SiO₂@Cu core–shell nanoparticles were employed as catalysts for the conjugate addition of amines to α,β‐unsaturated compounds in water to obtain β‐amino carbonyl compounds in excellent yields in shorter reaction times. Furthermore, the catalyst works well for hetero‐Michael addition reactions of heteroatom nucleophiles such as thiols to α,β‐unsaturated compounds. As the reaction is performed in water, it allows for easy recycling of the catalyst with consistent activity.
