Synthesis and luminescence properties of hybrid systems based on liquid crystal terbium(ІІІ) and europium(ІІІ) complexes

Russian Journal of General Chemistry - Hybrid liquid crystal systems with different ratios of the components have been prepared on the basis of 5,5′-di(heptadecyl)-2,2′-bipyridine...     

Unfamiliar Aspects of Bäcklund Transformations and an Associated Degasperis–Procesi Equation

We summarize the results of our recent work on Bäcklund transformations (BTs), particularly focusing on the relation between BTs and infinitesimal symmetries. We present a BT for an associated Degasperis–Procesi (aDP) equation and its superposition principle and investigate the solutions generated by applying this BT. Following our general methodology, we use the superposition principle of the BT to generate the infinitesimal symmetries of the aDP equation.     

Maximal Subrings and Covering Numbers of Finite Semisimple Rings

We classify the maximal subrings of the ring of n×n matrices over a finite field, and show that these subrings may be divided into three types. We also describe all of the maximal subrings of a finite semisimple ring, and categorize them into two classes. As an application of these results, we calculate the covering number of a finite semisimple ring.     

Photoelastic analysis of edge residual stresses in glass by the automated tint plate method

Experimental Techniques - The analysis of residual stress in glass is usually carried out by means of photoelastic methods. This article considers the automation of the white light photoelastic...     

Design and investigation of UV image detectors

The results of investigation of optical image detectors designed for the largest problem, near-VUV, range of the spectrum are presented. The possibility of using a dual-stage image detection system to appreciably lower the sensitivity threshold and make computer data processing feasible is considered. The integration of a UV module into a wideband image detector is studied.
