A Characterization of Cosmological Time Functions

A characterization of time functions on a spacetime is made by using theMöbius equation. It is shown that a time function characterized in this wayyields past timelike geodesic incompleteness and local Lorentzian warpedproduct decomposition of spacetime, provided that the stress-energy tensoris a fluid. Also, by imposing additional assumptions on the stress-energytensor and global analytic structure of the spacetime, more restrictivedecompositions closer to Robertson–Walker spacetimes are obtained.     

Multicommuted fluorometric multiparameter sensor for simultaneous determination of naproxen and salicylic acid in biological fluids.

A combined approach based on solid-phase optosensing and multicommutation principles has been applied to develop a method for the simultaneous analysis of two pharmaceuticals (naproxen and salicylic acid) in biological fluids. The multicommuted flow-through optosensor was based on direct native fluorescence measurements of both analgesics using a non-polar sorbent (C18 silica gel) as a solid sensing zone. The flow system was controlled by Java-written home-made software and designed using three-way solenoid valves for an independent automated manipulation of sample and carrier solutions. Using an optimized sampling time, the method was calibrated in the range of 1 - 25 and 5 - 200 ng mL(-1). The obtained detection limits were 0.3 and 1.3 ng mL(-1) for naproxen and salicylic acid, respectively, with RSD (%) values of better than 2% for both analytes. The proposed methodology was successfully applied to urine, serum and pharmaceutical preparations. Recovery percentages ranging from 96.1 to 104% were obtained for both analytes.     

There exist no 2-type surfaces in E 3 which are images under stereographic projection of minimal surfaces in S 3

In this paper we deal with the following particular case of a weaker conjecture by B. Y. Chen: Are there 2-type Willmore surfaces in E ³? In particular we prove that the above question has a negative answer when the surface is the image under stereographic projection of a minimal surface in S ³.

Textural changes during CO2 activation of chars: A fractal approach

In this paper two series of active carbons obtained at different flow rates of the activating agent, CO₂, are characterized in order to establish the different mechanisms of pore development during the activation step. This study complements previous works on textural development during the different steps in the process of obtaining active carbons: coal oxidation, coal pyrolysis and char gasification. As the characteristics of the original and intermediate materials are of capital importance in the pore development of active carbons, the properties of the active carbons, precursor chars and coals were considered and analyzed together. Mercury porosimetry and helium picnometry were used to determine classical textural parameters as well as to perform a more detailed study of the pore volume generation during the different conditions of the activation step. Data obtained from the mercury porosimetry determinations was also employed for fractal determinations according to the methodologies proposed by Friesen and Mikula, Zhang and Li and the procedure of Neimark. Average surface fractal dimensions as well as fractal profiles and local surface fractal dimensions were calculated. The use of different flow rates during the activation step produces changes not only in the ordinary textural parameters but also in the fractal characteristics of the active carbons. Activation at higher flow rates leads to smoother fractal profiles and also to lower values of the average surface fractal dimensions of the active carbons.

Comparison of Several Calibration Procedures for Glass Electrodes in Proton Concentration

Several reported procedures for calibrating glass electrodes in proton concentration are compared. Some recommendations for non-experts are also given. The examined procedures can be classified into two broad categories, namely: those based on direct potential difference measurements of solutions of known proton concentration and those that use one or several pH standards to calibrate the electrode and subsequently measure the pH of solutions containing known proton concentrations. With a single buffer, the two types of procedures lead to equivalent results. However, if two pH buffers are used, the slope of the calibration graph in proton concentration will differ from the real electrode slope to an extent proportional to the difference between the liquid junction potentials of the two buffers. Therefore, any other method is preferable under these circumstances.

Necessary conditions and duality for inexact nonlinear semi-infinite programming problems

First order necessary conditions and duality results for general inexact nonlinear programming problems formulated in nonreflexive spaces are obtained. The Dubovitskii–Milyutin approach is the main tool used. Particular cases of linear and convex programs are also analyzed and some comments about a comparison of the obtained results with those existing in the literature are given.     

Aggregation Properties of an Amphiphilic Methanofullerene Derivative in THFH_2O Solvent Mixtures

Water-soluble fullerenes not only have a number of important applications in biological chemistry1, but also form ordered aggregate structures that can be utilized in materials science2. There are reports that some water-soluble fullerene derivatives can form ordered structures in water, such as vesicle, nanorod and nanoparticle2-5. However, relatively few reports on the aggregation process have been reported. Knowledge of factors that affect the cluster formation in solution is of consider…
