Gleichverteilung und Quadratwurzelschnecke

A new proof of a theorem of W. Neiss is given that the rays of the Quadratwurzelschnecke are uniformly distributed mod 2 . The exact order of the discrepancy of the sequence is determined. Multidimensional generalizations of this sequence are also considered. It is shown that the Quadratwurzelschnecke is something like a roulette.

Eine Topologie auf der Menge der endlichdimensionalen nichtassoziativen Algebren über einem lokalen Körper

Motivated by an investigation ofKuz'min [2], in this note we introduce a topology on the set of nonassociative algebras of a fixed dimensionr< over a local fieldF. We obtain a space, which is notT ₁. If the trivial algebra is removed, the remaining subspace is quasicompact. The space is homeomoprhic to the group of square classes ofF ^*; forr3 the space is notT ₁. The set of division algebras is open in.     

Maße für gerichtete Geraden und nicht-symmetrische Pseudometriken in der Ebene II

We continue our investigations started in a paper with the same title. The -length of a curve defined in this paper can be written as an integral along the curve. Furthermore, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a measure of orientated lines which generates a given non-symmetric pseudo-metric.

Ein asymptotischer Ausdruck für eine zahlentheoretische Funktion

Arithmetic formulae and an asymptotic expression for the order of magnitude of the arithmetic function ged (s, n) and of a generalisation of it are derived.     

Der quadratfreie Kern der Eulerschen φ-Funktion

It is shown by a simple induction that any square-free natural number is the square-free kernel of Euler's -function of infinitely many natural numbers. Furthermore every square-free natural number >1 is the square-free kernel of Euler's -function of infinitely many square-numbers.     

A variational proof of the Gauss-Bonnet formula

The classical Gauss-Bonnet formula has the form I(g_ij)=2, where I(g_ij) represents a sum of three terms each of which depends on the metric tensor g_ij. It is shown that the first variation I of I(g_ij) with respect to the metric g_ij vanishes and that for the Euclidean metric _ij we have I(_ij)=2. From this the formula I(g_ij)=2 follows. In the process, explicit expressions are obtained for the first variation of each of the three terms which comprise I(g_ij). Furthermore, a general expression for the first variation of a multiple integral whose integrand is a scalar density depending on the metric tensor g_ij and its derivatives up to the second order is obtained with the aid of results of Rund [1].     

Spezifisches Verfahren zur quantitativen CO2-Bestimmung in natürlichen Wässern

The direct determination of CO₂ is often faulty because of certain contents of the natural water. Due to this reason a specific method was worked out. The water to be analysed and distilled water are placed side by side in a gas-tight vessel with an atmosphere free of CO₂, whereby mixing is avoided but gas-exchange is possible. After adjustment to the gas-equilibration the CO₂ content of the distilled water is determined e.g. by titration, measuring of conductivity or other methods, from where the CO₂ content in the natural water is calculated.     

Carbonyldinitrosyltris(fluorosulfato)tungstate(II) and ‐Molybdate(II) Anions: Synthesis,Spectroscopy, and Density Functional Theory Calculations

Carbonyldinitrosyltris(fluorosulfato)tungstate(II) and ‐molybdate‐(II) anions, [fac‐M(CO)(NO)₂(SO₃F)₃]^? (M=W, Mo), which are novel weakly coordinating anions that contain a metal carbonyl/nitrosyl moiety, have been generated in fluorosulfonic acid and completely characterized by multinuclear NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy as well as ESI mass spectrometry. ESI MS measurements performed for the first time on a superacidic solution system unambiguously reveal the formation of the monoanionic, mononuclear W and Mo complexes formulated as [M(CO)(NO)₂(SO₃F)₃]^? (M=W, Mo). Multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies at natural abundance and ¹³C and ¹⁵N enrichment clearly indicate the presence of one CO ligand, two equivalent NO ligands, and two types of nonequivalent SO₃F^? groups in a 2:1 ratio. The IR and Raman spectra reveal that the two equivalent NO ligands have a cis conformation, thus indicating a fac structure. Density functional calculations at the B3LYP level of theory predict that these anions have a singlet ground state (¹A′) with a C_s symmetry along with C–O and N–O vibrational frequencies that are in agreement with the experimental observations. Mulliken population analysis shows that the monovalent negative charge is dispersed on the bulky sphere, the surface of which is covered by all the negatively charged O and F atoms with charge densities much lower than SO₃F^?, suggesting that [fac‐M(CO)(NO)₂(SO₃F)₃]^? (M=W, Mo) are weakly nucleophilic and poorly coordinating anions.     

Excess molar quantities of (a halogenated n-alkane + an n-alkane) A comparative study of mixtures containing either 1-chlorobutane or 1,4-dichlorobutane

Excess molar volumes V_m^E at 298.15 K were obtained, as a function of mole fraction x, for series I: {x1-C₄H₉Cl + (1 ? x)n-C_lH_{2l + 2}}, and II: {x1,4-C₄H₈Cl₂ + (1 ? x)n-C_lH_{2l + 2}}, for l = 7, 10, and 14. 10, and 14. The instrument used was a vibrating-tube densimeter. For the same mixtures at the same temperature, a Picker flow calorimeter was used to measure excess molar heat capacities C_{p, m}^E at constant pressure. V_m^E is positive for all mixtures in series I: at x = 0.5, V_m^E/(cm³ · mol^?1) is 0.277 for l = 7, 0.388 for l = 10, and 0.411 for l = 14. For series II, V_m^E of {x1,4-C₄H₈Cl₂ + (1 ? x)n-C₇H₁₆} is small and S-shaped, the maximum being situated at x_max = 0.178 with V_m^E(x_max)/(cm³ · mvl^?1) = 0.095, and the minimum is at x_min = 0.772 with V_m^E(x_min)/(cm³ · mol^?1) = ?0.087. The excess volumes of the other mixtures are all positive and fairly large: at x = 0.5, V_m^E/(cm³ · mol^?1) is 0.458 for l = 10, and 0.771 for l = 14. The C_{p, m}^Es of series I are all negative and |C_{p, m}^E| increases with increasing l: at x = 0.5, C_{p, m}^E/(J · K^?1 · mol^?1) is ?0.56 for l = 7, ?1.39 for l = 10, and ?3.12 for l = 14. Two minima are observed for C_{p, m}^E of {x1,4-C₄H₈Cl₂ + (1 ? x)n-C₇H₁₆}. The more prominent minimum is situated at x′_min = 0.184 with C_{p, m}^E(x′_min)/(J · K^?1 · mol^?1) = ?0.62, and the less prominent at x″_min = 0.703 with C_{p, m}^E(x″_min)/(J · K^?1 · mol^?1) = ?0.29. Each of the remaining two mixtures (l = 10 and 14) has a pronounced minimum at low mole fraction (x_min = 0.222 and 0.312, respectively) and a broad shoulder around x = 0.7.
