On the electric current from electrodes in a magnetized semiconductor film

The problem on the electric current from electrodes in a magnetizedsemiconductor film is reduced to the skew derivative problemfor the Laplace equation outside cuts in a plane. The problemfor the Laplace equation is studied under different conditionsat infinity, which have a certain physical meaning. With thehelp of potential theory, the skew derivative problem is reducedto a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, which isuniquely solvable. The Neumann problem for the Laplace equationin the exterior of cuts in a plane is a particular case of ourproblem.

Performance analysis for an all-optical wavelength converter using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a single mode fiber

An analytical approach is presented to determine the performance of a tunable wavelength converter based on four wave mixing (FWM) in a single mode fiber (SMF) with two pump lasers. The analysis is carried out for an intensity modulated (IM) signal taking into considerations the effects of spectral broadening due to FWM and laser phase noise. The results evaluated at a bit rate of 10 Gb/s show that the signal power is substantially higher at lower values of wavelength separation. For example, for input powers of 10 mW each, wavelength separation of 4 nm between the pump-2 and the input signal, the output converted power is found to be –10 dBm corresponding to wavelength separation of 2 nm between pump-1 and converter signal. The corresponding crosstalk power is found to be –25 dBm at a channel separation of 3 times bit rate.     

Bimetallic Ag‐Pt Sub‐nanometer Supported Clusters as Highly Efficient and Robust Oxidation Catalysts

A combined experimental and theoretical investigation of Ag‐Pt sub‐nanometer clusters as heterogeneous catalysts in the CO→CO₂ reaction (COox) is presented. Ag₉Pt₂ and Ag₉Pt₃ clusters are size‐selected in the gas phase, deposited on an ultrathin amorphous alumina support, and tested as catalysts experimentally under realistic conditions and by first‐principles simulations at realistic coverage. In situ GISAXS/TPRx demonstrates that the clusters do not sinter or deactivate even after prolonged exposure to reactants at high temperature, and present comparable, extremely high COox catalytic efficiency. Such high activity and stability are ascribed to a synergic role of Ag and Pt in ultranano‐aggregates, in which Pt anchors the clusters to the support and binds and activates two CO molecules, while Ag binds and activates O₂, and Ag/Pt surface proximity disfavors poisoning by CO or oxidized species.     

Structure d'alcaloïdes indoliques doubles d'un type nouveau

The Structure of bis-indoline alkaloids of a novel type The structure of folicangine 4 , a bis-indoline alkaloid from the leaves of Voacanga africana, is obtained by correlation with voafolidine 3a and isovoafolidine 3b . It requires an ether bridge between the two parts of the molecule, as in subsessiline (amataine 5a ). Subsessiline-lactone, from the leaves of Voacanga thouarsii has structure 5b proved by correlation with 5a . The CD. curves of double-indole alkaloids of vobtusine type are given (Table 3).     

Embedding in higher dimensions causes ambiguity in determining equations from data

A linear system of dimension D can be embedded by D time-delay vectors. However, a nonlinear system often requires more vectors, almost always not more than 2D+1. This paper is regarding the consequence of such an embedding. We encountered this problem in an attempt to obtain a set of equations from the observed data. Our goal was to generate a system which is topologically conjugate to the original system. We found that many a times our efforts led to highly unstable systems. Now, we have an explanation. Embedding in higher dimensions causes a topological foliation and this foliation has a D-dimensional “leaf”. All the data were on this leaf and therefore we were unable to distinguish this foliated system from those where the foliation had collapsed. We illustrate the phenomenon by examples from numerically generated data and suggest possible remedies.     

A lipase catalyzed condensation reaction with a tricyclic diketone: yet another example of biocatalytic promiscuity

Novozym 435 (a commercially available immobilized form of Candida antarctica lipase B) was found to catalyze a condensation reaction of 5-hydroxy-endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]deca-4,8-dien-3-one with acetaldehyde (enzymatically produced from vinyl acetate in situ) under low water conditions, in presence of 10% organic co-solvent (N,N-dimethyl formamide or pyridine), to form a bis-adduct. Even though the condensation reaction occurred with pyridine (acting as a base catalyst) in the presence of acetaldehyde and in the absence of enzyme, the reaction was very slow as compared to the enzymatic process. Thus, while the non-enzymatic process took 4 days to achieve 100% conversion; in presence of enzyme it was possible within 4 h.     

A new approach to reduction of the Neumann problem in acoustic scattering to a non-hypersingular integral equation

The Neumann problem for the propagative Helmholtz equation inthe exterior of several bodies (obstacles) is studied in twoand three dimensions by a special modification of the boundaryintegral equation method. This modification can be called the'method of interior boundaries', because additional boundariesare introduced inside scattering bodies. The solution of theproblem is obtained in the form of a single layer potentialon the whole boundary. The density in the potential satisfiesthe uniquely solvable Fredholm equation of the second kind andcan be computed by standard codes. In fact our method holdsfor any positive wave numbers.
