Dynamical systems with relaxation time

We define mathematically a class of dynamical systems that exhibit relaxation corresponding to that observed in physical systems, and then show that this class is identical with the class ofK-mixing dynamical systems.     

160Tb nuclear orientation in yttrium single crystal

First experimental results of¹⁶⁰Tb nuclear orientation in yttrium single crystal matrix are described. The influence of external magnetic field in combination with the crystal field interaction is discussed.     

Path integrals on half-line

In the framework of path integrals we present a solution to the Schrödinger equation for a free particle confined to the half-linex > 0. A solution in question corresponds to the boundary condition (/x) (0,t)= (0,t) where is a real constant.     

A comparison of the stochastic theory of the crystal growth and the Stefan problem

The stochastic theory of the crystal growth is compared with the solution of the Stefan problem in the case of Sn solidification. It is shown that the stochastic theory gives the same results as the solution of the Stefan problem if kinetic processes at the solidification front are very rapid.     

Hyperfine anomalies and nuclear γ-factors of56Co,57Co and60Co isotopes studied by NMR/ON

The results of NMR/ON measurements on^56,57,60Co isotopes in iron are presented in the paper. To avoid the uncertainties caused by local demagnetizing field inhomogeneities the measurements on two cobalt isotopes in one sample have been carried out. The values of nuclear-factors ratios ⁵⁷/ ⁶⁰=1·805(20), ⁶⁰/ ⁵⁶ = 0·761(20), ⁵⁶/ ⁵⁷ = 0·726(20) and hyperfme anomalies^{56 60} = –0·036(10),^{60 57} = 0·017(10) and^{57 56} = 0·018(10) have been calculated from the experimental results.Dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.     

Present state and future development of instrumental techniques for solution thermochemical (thermometric) analysis

A review of instruments for thermochemical (thermometric) solution analysis is given, including new types of isoperibol reaction of bomb calorimeters, the design of which can influence the future development of thermochemical measuring techniques. The new type of Dithermanal (Vaskut-EMG, Hungary, and Herrmann- Morris, France) controls the individual steps of the thermochemical analysis, adding memory and computing capabilities. Similar programming units with microprocessors for bomb and/or reaction calorimetry have been developed by Parr Comp. and Leco Comp. (USA). The latest modification of the Technicon flow analyzer permits on-line analysis of solid samples. For thermochemical titrations, the Sanda titrator (USA) and Vaskut automatic titrator (Hungary) are available. In the USA, the Tronac isothermal or isoperibol calorimeters are widely used. At the Technical University of Brno, ?SSR, smaller table instruments with a water-bath are applied for different modes of solution thermochemical analysis, and also for the reactions of solid samples in liquids. For the measurement of very small temperature differences, PTC thermistors are used. The possibilities of the future development of measuring techniques are outlined.     

Size exclusion chromatographic characterization of sodium hyaluronate fractions prepared by high energetic sonication

Summary A high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate isolated from rooster combs was degraded by ultrasonication. High-performance size exclusion chromatography allowed rapid and accurate determination of molecular weight parameters (M_z, M_w, M_n) and distributions. The time dependence of hyaluronan ultrasonication to the molecular characteristics of the polymer was investigated. A non-random nature of the degradation process was demonstrated and the reciprocal M_n value was found to be linearly proportional to the time of ultrasonication.
