Sufficient conditions for the invertibility of adapted perturbations of identity on the Wiener space

Let (W, H, μ) be the classical Wiener space. Assume that U = I _W  + u is an adapted perturbation of identity, i.e., u : W → H is adapted to the canonical filtration of W. We give some sufficient analytic conditions on u which imply the invertibility of the map U. In particular it is shown that if ${u\in {\rm ID}_{p,1}(H)}$ is adapted and if ${\exp(\frac{1}{2}\|\nabla u\|_2^2-\delta u)\in L^q(\mu)}$ , where p ^?1 + q ^?1 = 1, then I _W  + u is almost surely invertible. With the help of this result it is shown that if ${\nabla u\in L^\infty(\mu,H\otimes H)}$ , then the Girsanov exponential of u times the Wiener measure satisfies the logarithmic Sobolev inequality and this implies the invertibility of U = I _W  +  u . As a consequence, if, there exists an integer k ≥  1 such that ${\|\nabla^k u\|_{H^{\otimes(k+1)}}\in L^\infty(\mu)}$ , then I _W  +  u is again almost surely invertible under the almost sure continuity hypothesis of ${t\to\nabla^i \dot{u}_t}$ for i ≤  k ? 1.     

Dynamic collision-induced dissociation (DCID) in a quadrupole ion trap using a two-frequency excitation waveform: I. Effects of excitation frequency and phase angle

This study describes the application of a two-frequency excitation waveform to the end-cap electrodes of a quadrupole ion trap (QIT) during the mass acquisition period to deliberately fragment selected precursor ions. This approach obviates the need for a discrete excitation period and guarantees on-resonant excitation conditions without any requirement for resonant tuning; it is therefore faster than the conventional approach to collision-induced dissociation (CID) in QITs. The molecular ion of n-butylbenzene is used as thermometer molecule to determine the energetics of the new excitation procedure. The excitation waveform, consisting of two closely spaced sinusoidal frequencies, has an interference pattern that displays nodes and crests in the time domain. The energetics (determined by the product ion ratios of 91/92 Th) and CID efficiencies are highly dependent on the excitation amplitude, the relative position of the excitation frequencies in the Mathieu stability diagram, and whether the ions come into resonance during a node or crest of the excitation waveform. Under highly energetic conditions, ratios of 91/92 as large as 15 can be obtained at concomitant CID efficiencies of 10%, indicating internal energies in excess of 10 eV at the time of fragmentation. These extremely high internal energies far exceed the energetics achievable using conventional on-resonance excitation in QITs, indicating that the collisional heating rate is very fast in the new approach. Under less energetic conditions CID efficiencies as high as 70% are possible, which compares favorably with results obtained by conventional on-resonance excitation. Correlation analyses are used to determine the conditions that simultaneously optimize energetic and efficient fragmentation conditions.

Solvent Effect upon Ion-pair Extraction of Different Sodium Dyes Using Some Crown Ethers

Liquid-liquid extractive-spectrophotometric studies of sodium ion complexes of 18-crown-6(18C6), dibenzo-18-crown-6(DB18C6), 15-crown-5(15C5), and 12-crown-4(12C4) and anionic dyes [4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol monosodium salt monohydrate (PAR), Eriochrom Black T (EBT), and methyl orange (MOR)] and sodium picrate (PICRAT) as the counter ion are described. The overall extraction equilibrium constants for the 1 : 1 complexes of the above crown ethers with sodium dyes between different organic solvents and water have been determined at 25deg;C. They were conducted in various solvent-water systems maintaining an identical initial cation concentration in water, [M0+]w, and macrocyclic ligand concentration in the organic phase, [L0]org}, so that in all extractions [M0+]w : [L0]org ratios were 1 : 1, 1 : 10, 1 : 20, 1 : 50, and 1 : 62.5. An ion association complex formed between the sodium-crown ether complex ion and a dye anion was extracted into the organic solvent, and then the dye concentration of the separated aqueous phase was measured with an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. PAR was the best associated dye with all crown ethers sodium-dyes and the extracted dye occurs as the ion-pair complex. Methylene chloride was found to be better than other extractive solvents used in this study.     

Crystalline structure and morphological properties of undoped and Sn doped ZnO thin films

Undoped and tin (Sn) doped ZnO thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis method. Effect of Sn dopant on the crystalline structure and morphological properties of ZnO thin films has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) method. XRD patterns confirm that the films have polycrystalline nature. While undoped ZnO film has (101) as the preferred orientation, Sn doped ZnO thin films have (002) as the preferred orientation. Grain sizes, lattice parameters and texture coefficient values of the films were determined. Microstructure was analyzed by SEM and the influence of the doping concentration in the microstructure of the films is investigated.     

Biomass Productivities in Wild Type and Pigment Mutant of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cyclotella</Emphasis> sp. (Diatom)

Microalgae are expected to play a significant role in greenhouse gas mitigation because they can utilize CO₂ from power plant flue gases directly while producing a variety of renewable carbon-neutral biofuels. In order for such a microalgal climate change mitigation strategy to become economically feasible, it will be necessary to significantly improve biomass productivities. One approach to achieve this objective is to reduce, via mutagenesis, the number of light-harvesting pigments, which, according to theory, should significantly improve the light utilization efficiency, primarily by increasing the light intensity at which photosynthesis saturates (I _s). Employing chemical (ethylmethylsulfonate) and UV mutagenesis of a wild-type strain of the diatom Cyclotella, approximately 10,000 pigment mutants were generated, and two of the most promising ones (CM1 and CM1-1) were subjected to further testing in both laboratory cultures and outdoor ponds. Measurements of photosynthetic oxygen production rates as a function of light intensity (i.e., P–I curves) of samples taken from laboratory batch cultures during the exponential and linear growth phase indicated that the light intensity at which photosynthesis saturates (I _s) was two to three times greater in the pigment mutant CM1-1 than in the wild type, i.e., 355–443 versus 116–169 μmol/m² s, respectively. While theory, i.e., the Bush equation, predicts that such a significant gain in I _s should increase light utilization efficiencies and thus biomass productivities, particularly at high light intensities, no improvements in biomass productivities were observed in either semi-continuous laboratory cultures or outdoor ponds. In fact, the maximum biomass productivity in semi-continuous laboratory culture was always greater in the wild type than in the mutant, namely 883 versus 725 mg/L day, respectively, at low light intensity (200 μmol/m² s) and 1,229 versus 1,043 mg/L day, respectively, at high light intensity (1,000 μmol/m² s). Similarly, the biomass productivities measured in outdoor ponds were significantly lower for the mutant than for the wild type. Given that these mutants have not been completely characterized in these initial studies, the exact reasons for their poor performance are not known. Most likely, it is possible that the mutation procedure affected other photosynthetic or metabolic processes. This hypothesis was partially validated by the observation that the pigment mutant had a longer lag period following inoculation, a lower maximum specific growth rate, and poorer stability than the wild type.     

Comparison of Uniform and Non-uniform Pressure Approaches Used to Analyze an Adsorption Process in a Closed Type Adsorbent Bed

Heat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed filled with silica gel particles is numerically analyzed by uniform and non-uniform pressure approaches. The study is performed for silica gel–water pair, particle radius from 0.025 to 1 mm and two bed radii of 10 and 40 mm. For uniform pressure approach, the energy equation for the bed and the mass transfer equation for the particle are solved. For non-uniform pressure approach, the continuity and Darcy equations due to the motion of water vapor in the bed are added, and four coupled partial differential equations are solved. The changes of the adsorbate concentration, pressure, and temperature in the bed throughout the adsorption process for both approaches are obtained and compared. The obtained results showed that the particle size plays an important role on the validity of uniform pressure approach. Due to the interparticle mass transfer resistance, there is a considerable difference between the results of the uniform pressure and non-uniform pressure approaches for the beds with small size of particles such as $r_\mathrm{{p}} =$ 0.025 mm.
