Problems of an additional experiment

In some situations estimates of unknown parameters must be corrected by additional measurements. It is in principle no problem to calculate the corrected estimates, however, it is of more interest to find formulae for correction itself. The formulae enable us to design an additional experiment and to judge its usefulness. The aim of the paper is to find such formulae for several situations.

Aluminum(III) complexes containing O,O chelating ligand

The stoichiometric reactions of trimethylaluminum with 2,6‐(MeOCH₂)₂C₆H₃OH (LH) revealed compounds L₃Al ( 1 ) and L₂AlMe ( 2 ). On the other hand reaction of 1 equiv. of LH with trimethylaluminum did not lead to the formation of complex LAlMe₂ ( 3 ), rather 2 together with Me₃Al were observed as a result of a disproportionation of 3 . Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and in the case of 1 by X‐ray diffraction. Derivative 2 underwent transmetalation with Ph₃SnOH, giving LSnPh₃ ( 4 ) as the result of a migration of ligand L from the aluminum to the tin atom. The identity of 4 was established by elemental analysis, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy and ¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn HMBC experiments. The system 2 and B(C₆F₅)₃ in a 1:1 molar ratio was shown to be active in the polymerization of propylene oxide and ε‐caprolactone. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The temperature and pressure in the plasma parallel plate accelerator

This paper presents the results of plasma temperature and pressure calculations in the parallel plate accelerator during the accelerating process. The plasma pressure is calculated by means in Dalton's law.     

Chlorokomplexe von Cu2+ und Ni2+ in Dimethylformamid

Zusammenfassung Durch spektrophotometrische Messungen in Dimethylformamid (DMF) werden die Koordinationsformen [CuCl]⁺ und [CuCl₃]^– sowie [NiCl]⁺, [NiCl₃]^– und [NiCl₄]^2– nachgewiesen. Bei Nickel(II)-chlorid und Kupfer(II)-chlorid wird Autokomplexbildung diskutiert. Die Solvate [Cu(DMF)₄] (ClO₄)₂ und [Ni(DMF)₆] (ClO₄)₂ werden isoliert.Im Zuge der Untersuchungen über Chlorokomplexe von Ionen der Übergangsmetalle^{1, 2} in nichtwäßrigen Lösungsmitteln wurden die Spektren der Lösungen von Kupfer(II)- und Nikkel(II)-perchlorat inDMF in Gegenwart verschiedener Mengen Tetraäthylammoniumchlorid aufgenommen.Mit 5 Abbildungen     

Finitely additive states and completeness of inner product spaces

For any unit vector in an inner product space S, we define a mapping on the system of all -closed subspaces of S, F(S), whose restriction on the system of all splitting subspaces of S, E(S), is always a finitely additive state. We show that S is complete iff at least one such mapping is a finitely additive state on F(S). Moreover, we give a completeness criterion via the existence of a regular finitely additive state on appropriate systems of subspaces. Finally, the result will be generalized to general inner product spaces.     

Some Landau's type inequalities for infinitesimal generators

Summary Lett T(t) be a strongly continuous contraction semigroup on a complex Banach space and letA be its infinitesimal generator. We prove that, forx D(A ³), the following inequalities hold true: Ax³ 243/8 x²A ³ x, A ² x 24 xA ³ x². Ift T(t) is a contraction group (resp. cosine function) we get the analogous but better inequalities with constants 9/8 and 3 (resp. 81/40 and 72/25) instead of 243/8 and 24. We consider also uniformly bounded semigroups, groups and cosine functions.     

Cartesian currents,weak diffeomorphisms and existence theorems in nonlinear elasticity

Summary In this paper we introduce some new classes of functions, among these a class of weak diffeomorphisms. In these classes we prove by direct methods the existence of minimizers for several kinds of variational integrals. In particular, we prove the existence of one-to-one orientation-preserving maps that minimize suitable energies associated with hyperelastic materials. The minimizers are also proved to satisfy equilibrium equations. Finally radial deformations are discussed in connection with cavitation.
