A shock tube study of the reaction of methyl radicals with hydroxyl radicals

The reaction of CH₃ with OH has been studied near 1200 K and 1 atmosphere pressure in shock tube experiments in which UV absorption was used to monitor [OH]. A rate coefficient of (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10¹³ cm³/mol-s was measured for removal of OH by CH₃. This measured value is compared with previous experimental data and calculations. Several possible reaction channels are discussed, and although products were not monitored, it seems probable, on the basis of other work and theoretical estimates, that the primary mechanism (?75%) for the removal of OH by CH₃ at these conditions is their combination to form CH₃OH. Rate coefficients of (5.3 ± 0.8) × 10¹² and (9.0 ± 1.4) × 10¹² cm³/mol-s were measured for the reactions of OH with acetone and ethane, respectively, at the same temperature and pressure.

Investigation of the fundamental properties of a Coulombian plasma by the method of many-particle dynamics

It is shown that a completely ionized, classical, Coulombian plasma, placed in an adiabatic enclosure, possesses a stationary state. At the same time, a plasma placed in a thermostat recombines through triple collisions, with a velocity satisfactorily accounted for by well-known theoretical results. The results obtained by numerical modeling have shown that, for a plasma placed in an adiabatic enclosure, the ergodic assumption is not valid. Various possible kinetic mechanisms, ensuring the existence of a stationary state of the adiabatically enclosed plasma, are considered.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 3–34, November, 1991.     

Pion pair production in photon-photon collisions

The process γγ→π⁺π^? was measured using the detector MD-1 at VEPP-4. The two-photon reactionse ⁺ e ^?, μ⁺ μ^? and π⁺ π^? pair production were separated using scintillation counters, Cherenkov counters and shower-range chambers. A radiation widthГ _γγ(f ₂(1270))=3.1±0.35±0.35 keV was obtained.     

Bound states and resonances ofN-particle discrete Schrödinger operator

The existence of bound states and resonances of the Hamiltonian of a system ofN different quantum lattice particles with nonvanishingN-particle short-range interaction is proved. The dependence of the bound states and the resonances on the coupling constant and the quasimomentum is studied.Samarkand State University.

Banach-Saks operators on spaces of continuous functions

Summary Let K be a compact Hausdorff space and let E be a Banach space. We denote by C(K, E) the Banach space of all E-valued continuous functions defined on K, endowed with the supremum norm. We study in this paper Banach-Saks operators defined on C(K, E) spaces. We characterize these operators for a large class of compacts K (the scattered ones), or for a large class of Banach spaces E (the superreflexive ones). We also show by some examples that our theorems can not be extended directly.Partially supported by C.A.I.C.Y.T. grant 0338-84.

Manifolds with invariant semi-Riemannian almost product structure

A manifold M with semi-Riemannian almost product structure invariant relative to a transformation group G is considered. A connection with special G-invariance property is constructed in the corresponding bundle of frames.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 7, pp. 926–931, July, 1992.     

某些查耳酮化合物的发光

本文叙述了两个同质查耳酮系列的合成.一个带有查耳酮中心链(系列Ⅰ),另一个是系列Ⅰ的酯类(系列Ⅱ).研究了每个系列中三种化合物的发光,发现两个系列的所有化合物都能见到发光.系列Ⅰ中的化合物在峰值为360nm处可见到发光,而系Ⅱ列中的化合物未能观测到这一波长的发光.然而,在峰值为470nm处两者均可见到发光.得出的结论是,消除非键电子微扰作用的氢键是系列Ⅰ中的化合物在360nm处出现发光的原因.
