Ascoli-Arzelà type theorem for rational iterations on the complex projective plane

For a dominant algebraically stable rational self-map of the complex projective plane of degree at least 2, we will consider three different definitions of the Fatou set and show the equivalence of them (Ascoli-Arzelà type theorem). As a corollary, it follows that all Fatou components are Stein. This is an improvement of an early result by Fornæss and Sibony.

     

Magnetic circular dichroism of [Co/Pd] and [CoB/Pd] multilayered films

Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) at the Co L_2,3-edge of [Co/Pd]₂₀ and [CoB/Pd]₂₀ multilayered films, which were fabricated at 260 °C with different magnetic layer thicknesses (δ), have been measured. The lineshapes of XAS–MCD show that the electronic state of Co 3d of the films hardly changes even when sputtered at higher temperatures. The expectation values of orbital and spin angular momentum (〈L_z〉 and 〈S_z〉) are estimated using the sum rule, and it is found that 〈L_z〉/〈S_z〉 in δ<0.5 nm is larger than that in δ>0.5 nm.     

有机过氧化物安定性的差示扫描量热测定

1 引言有机过氧化物是一种自反应性物质.这类物质在制造、使用、贮存过程中或由于自分解发热、热积累导致燃烧、爆炸,或由于冲击、摩擦、电火花、明火等外部作用导致燃烧爆炸而造成人员伤亡.差示扫描量热法(DSC)、压力容器试验法(PVT)是评价这类物质安全性的基本方法.本文利用DSC法对7种有机过氧化物进行了加热分解试验研究,探讨其热安定性、发生热爆炸的难易程度及剧烈程度.     

On selfinjective semiprimary rings

In this note, we use a universal algebraic argument to show that modules with 0-limits need not be equationally compact, thus providing a counter-example to an open problem of Jensen and Lenzing.     

Laccase‐catalyzed polymerization of lignocatechol and affinity on proteins of resulting polymers

For the synthesis of a new biologically functional polymer from a natural resource by an environment‐friendly method, the laccase‐catalyzed polymerization of a lignin‐based macromonomer, lignocatechol, was carried out for the first time in ethanol–phosphate buffer solvent system to give crosslinked polymers in good yields. Lignocatechol was prepared by the phase separation system of lignin and catechol in aqueous sulfuric acid. The copolymerization was also performed with urushiol to afford the corresponding copolymers in high yields. The polymerization mechanism was estimated by the IR and pyrolysis GC‐MS measurements, suggesting that the polymerization proceeded mainly at the catechol ring through a quinone radical intermediate. The thermal properties were measured by the DSC, TG, and TMA analyses, indicating that the polymers had high thermal stabilities because of the crosslinked structures. In addition, it was found that the resulting polymers had the affinity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and glucoamylase. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Extreme point axioms for closure spaces

A pair (X,τ) of a finite set X and a closure operator τ:2^X→2^X is called a closure space. The class of closure spaces includes matroids as well as antimatroids. Associated with a closure space (X,τ), the extreme point operator ex:2^X→2^X is defined as ex(A)={p|p∈A,p∉τ(A-{p})}. We give characterizations of extreme point operators of closure spaces, matroids and antimatroids, respectively.     

Optical and electronic properties of siloxane-bridged cyclic dimers with naphthylene or pyrenylene moieties

The optical and electronic properties of novel siloxane-bridged cyclic dimers with naphthylene (CD1) or pyrenylene (CD2) moieties are described. CD1 and CD2 were obtained by the cyclic dimerization of 1,4-bis(dimethylhydroxysilyl)naphthalene (M1) and 1,6-bis(dimethylhydroxysilyl)pyrene (M2), respectively. CD1 and CD2 mainly exhibited the emission from their excimers owing to their short distances between aryl moieties in CD1 and CD2, which were determined to be 3.44 Å and 3.41 Å by the X-ray crystallographic analysis, respectively. The absorption spectra of CD2 in the presence of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) revealed that CD2 has the ability to form 1:1 charge-transfer complex with TCNQ, indicating the existence of the transannular π-π interaction between closely located pyrene components in CD2.     

Suppression of Sea-Ice Clutter Observed by a Millimeter Wave Radar Using a New Log-Weibull/CFAR System

Sea-ice clutter was measured using a millimeter wave radar with frequency of 34.860GHz, beamwidth of 0.25° and pulse length of 30ns. To determine the sea-ice clutter amplitude statistics, we investigated the log-normal, Weibull, log-Weibull and K-distributions using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), which is more rigorous fit of the distribution to the data than the least-squares method. It is shown that the amplitude of sea-ice clutter obeys the log-Weibull distribution with shape parameters of 2.36 to 2.93 for both entire data and data within the beam width of an antenna. We propose a new log-Weibull/CFAR system uses a modified cell-averaging LOG/CFAR system. It is found that this log-Weibull/CFAR procedure is effective for suppression of sea-ice clutter and detection of target.
