Inclusion complexes of alcohols with α-cyclodextrin

Calorimetric studies of the inclusion complexes of straight and branched alcohols and of diols with alpha-cyclodextrin (-CD) have been carried out in water solvent. The data suggest that straight and branched chain alcohols enter the cavity of -CD alkyl end first. The hydroxyl group hydrogen bonds to the outer oxygen ring of the cyclodextrin. For branched chain alcohols the longer alkyl part of the molecule penetrates the -CD cavity up to the hydroxyl group. Diols form two hydrogen bonds to the outer oxygen ring of the cyclodextrin with some penetration into its interior.     

Fractal drums and then-dimensional modified Weyl-Berry conjecture

In this paper, we study the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a bounded (or, more generally, of finite volume) open set R ⁿ (n1) with fractal boundary of interior Minkowski dimension (n–1,n]. By means of the technique of tessellation of domains, we give the exact second term of the asymptotic expansion of the counting functionN() (i.e. the number of positive eigenvalues less than ) as +, which is of the form ^/2 times a negative, bounded and left-continuous function of . This explains the reason why the modified Weyl-Berry conjecture does not hold generally forn2. In addition, we also obtain explicit upper and lower bounds on the second term ofN().

The effects of media properties on the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction

The effects of media properties including buffers, acidity, solvents and surfactant on horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed fluorogenic reaction were investigated. The results showed that the so-called non-fluorescent hydrogen donors were in fact fluorescent. There existed an acid—base equilibrium in the fluorescent dimer product. For p -hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, a pK_a value of 8.0 for the product was obtained from its titration curve. The product fluorescence increased with higher pH, however, a longer time was needed to reach the reaction equilibrium due to the pH mismatch problem. Cationic micelles cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride could reduce the pH mismatch and offered a way to further increase the determination sensitivity. Finally, a micelle-enhanced flow-injection analysis of horseradish peroxidase is suggested.     

Strong converse inequality for Kantorovich polynomials

For the Kantorovich polynomial approximationK _n (f, t), 1<p≤∞, we prove that, for somem, This equivalence includes a strong converse inequality of type B.     

Best one-sided approximation of convolution classes by cardinal splines

Let G be a Polya frequency density and its periodization. We get the exact value of upper approximation of S₁ (G), which is a convolution class with kernel G, by cardinal splines corresponding to G. Similar result has been obtained for periodic convolution class with kernel as well. Supported in part by Postdoctral Fellowship Foundation provided by Chinese Academy of Sciences     

An exponent bound on skew Hadamard abelian difference sets

A difference setD in a groupG is called a skew Hadamard difference set (or an antisymmetric difference set) if and only ifG is the disjoint union ofD, D(^–1), and {1}, whereD(^–1)={d^–1|dD}. In this note, we obtain an exponent bound for non-elementary abelian groupG which admits a skew Hadamard difference set. This improves the bound obtained previously by Johnsen, Camion and Mann.
