Invariants de Maslov équivariants

We construct two cohomological invariants associated to pairs of Lagrangian sub-bundles of a symplectic bundle on a compact manifold upon which a compact Lie group is acting. The first invariant, which we call the classical equivariant Maslov H-invariant, provides an obstruction to Lagrangian transversality and lives in the Borel cohomology. The second invariant, which we call the equivariant Maslov U-invariant, generalises the author's results in K-Theory 13 (1998), 347–361 to the equivariant context and provides a necessary and sufficient condition for equivariant Lagrangian transversality, up to homotopic stability, and lives in the U-theory (intermediate between the real complex K-theories). As an application, we show that two Lagrangian sub-bundles of a symplectic bundle on a homogeneous space are always stably transverse.

ELLIPSOMETRY OF BLACK LIPID MEMBRANES OF EGG LECITHIN AND CHLOROPLAST EXTRACTS

Abstract— Ellipsometric angles and reflectivity of black lipid membranes containing either egg lecithin or chloroplast extracts were measured at a wavelength of 6328 Å. Evidence was found for positive uniaxial anisotropy in membranes of lecithin. If the thickness of those films is assumed to be 62 Å, the refractive index normal to the film surface is 1.471 ± 0.004, and the refractive index parallel to the film surface is 1.454 ± 0.003. The results for membranes of chloroplast extracts also indicate a positive anisotropy in the indices of absorption.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of perfluorinated rod-like liquid crystals with sulphur-containing spacers

In order to determine the influence of 'sulphur-containing' spacers on the formation of mesophases in low molecular mass compounds, we have examined the mesomorphic behaviour of molecules which consists of a 4-biphenyl unit linked to an unbranched fluorinated chain via a short spacer including at least a sulphur atom. The synthesis of these compounds has been carried out from 2-F-butylethyl iodide or from the 2-F-alkylethyl mercaptans in the case of the F-hexyl and F-octyl tails. The mesomorphic properties have been characterized by polarized light microscopy and by differential thermal analysis showing the peculiar contribution of each of the spacers. The influence of the fluorinated chain and the shape of the connector on the stability of the mesophases has been investigated. The compounds with a thioether or a hemithioacetal spacer showed no mesomorphic properties, whereas the structures with a thioester spacer showed a very interesting enantiotropic behaviour of the smectic A type over a wide temperature range. Furthermore from the series exhibiting liquid crystalline behaviour, increasing the number of fluoromethylene units simultaneously increases both the melting and the clearing temperature. These mesomorphic properties within the fluorinated series are compared with those of their monocatenar hydrocarbon homologues.

An efficient synthesis of the novel triazoloquinazoline adenosine antagonist,CGS 15943

An efficient synthesis of the novel triazoloquinazoline adenosine antagonist, CGS 15943, is reported in five steps in approximately 50% overall yield. A key reaction in the synthetic sequence is the double cyclization of an N-(substituted-2-cyanophenyl)carbamate with a carboxylic acid hydrazide to afford a [1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-c]quinazolin-5(6H)-one in high yield without either a Dimroth or “translocative” rearrangement occurring. Another key reaction is the condensation of a 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)benzenamine with cyanamide under acidic conditions to prepare a guanidine.     

Condition Monitoring of Ground Anchorages by Dynamic Impulses: GRANIT System

The GRANIT system operates by applying an impulse of known force by means of an impact device that is attached to the tendon of the anchorage. The vibration response signals resulting from this impulse are complex in nature and require analysis to be undertaken in order to extract information from the vibrational response signatures that is relevant to the condition of the anchorage. In the system, the complicated relationship that exists between characteristics of an anchorage and its response to an impulse is identified and learned by a novel artificial intelligence network based on artificial intelligence techniques.The results presented in this paper demonstrate the potential of the GRANIT system to diagnose the integrity of ground anchorages at a site near Stone, England, by using a trained neural network capable of diagnosing the post-tension level of the anchorage. This neural network was used for the diagnosis of load in a second ground anchorage adjacent to the original anchorage used for the training of the neural network. Further tests were taken with a different anchor head configuration of the anchorage and a different relationship between the signature response of the anchorage to an applied impulse and its post-tension level was found.Problems encountered during the diagnosis of this second set of test signatures by the trained neural network are investigated with the use of a lumped parameter dynamic model. This model is able to identify the parameters in the anchorage system that affect this change in response signature. The results from the investigation lead to a new form of classification for the installed anchorages, based on their anchor head configuration.Laboratory strand anchorage tests were undertaken in order to compare with and validate the results obtained from the field tests and the lumped parameter dynamic model.

Virial coefficients and equations of state for mixtures of hard discs,hard spheres and hard hyperspheres

The composition-independent virial coefficients of a d-dimensional binary mixture of (additive) hard hyperspheres following from a recent proposal for the equation of state of the mixture (Santos, A., Yuste, S. B., and López de Haro, M., 1999, Molec. Phys., 96, 1) are examined. Good agreement between theoretical estimates and available exact or numerical results is found for d = 2, 3, 4 and 5, except for mixtures whose components are very disparate in size. A slight modification that remedies this deficiency is introduced and the resummation of the associated virial series is carried out, leading to a new proposal for the equation of state. The case of binary hard sphere mixtures (d = 3) is analysed in some detail.
