Unified quantum logic

Unified quantum logic based on unified operations of implication is formulated as an axiomatic calculus. Soundness and completeness are demonstrated using standard algebraic techniques. An embedding of quantum logic into a new modal system is carried out and discussed.On leave of absence from Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb, Pot.

On the tensor product of supersingleton representations ofosp(1, 2n)

The tensor product of two supersingleton representations _n of the Lie superalgebraosp (1, 2n) is studied forn2. The main results are as follows: (a) anticommutators and commutators of the odd generators in _{n n} form a skew-symmetric representation of the Lie algebrau(n, n); (b) simple explicit form of all irreducible components of _{n n}, which are labelled by a single parameterJ=0, 1, ..., has been found. Each of them is a^*-representation ofosp (1, 2n) for which assertion (a) is valid. The dimension of its vacuum subspace equals , i.e., the nondegenerate vacuum occurs for J=0 only. Basic property of this family of irreducible^*-representations of osp(1, 2n) are analogous to those of massless representations of osp(1, 4).Dedicated to Academician Václav Votruba on the occasion of his eightieth birthday.     

Quantitative characterization of chaotic instabilities in semiconductors

A method for quantitative characterization of chaotic dynamical systems is discussed. An electronic instrument for determining the number of independent variablesk ^*, involved in the motion, is described. It allows one to obtain these in real time from a single observable. The suggested technique has been applied to quantification of strange attractors underlying chaotic instabilities in semi-insulating GaAsCr, and n-Ge, irradiated with high energy electrons. In n-Ge, for instance, the measured numbersk ^* range from 2 to 4 depending on control parameters. These measurements reveal the highly deterministic nature of the observed chaotic oscillations. The physical mechanisms responsible for the current instabilities and chaotic behaviour are discussed.     

Reliable evaluation of temperature-independent parameters in correlation of vapour–liquid equilibrium data

A new algorithm/program has been elaborated for simultaneous processing of different sets of vapour–liquid equilibrium data. The program was tested with six binary hexane + isomeric pentanol systems, each of them measured at three different isobaric conditions and one isothermal system of tert-butyl-methyl-ether + 2-methyl-2-propanol measured at three different temperatures. The correlation uses the maximum likelihood method, taking into account real behaviour of vapour phase. The parameters obtained are valid within the whole temperature range of the data, and are consistent in comparison with those obtained from individual correlations of isobars or isotherms. Results are presented for the Wilson and NRTL equations.     

The preparation of nano‐scope chitosan‐oligomer copper complexes and their interaction with DNA

Water‐soluble low molecular weight chitosan of nanometer level and its copper complexes were prepared, and characterized by IR spectra, elemental analysis and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The modes and mechanism of these copper complexes interaction with DNA were studied by a fluorescent probe method and electrophoresis analysis. It is suggested that there are electrostatic and intercalation modes of copper complexes interacting with DNA. At first, the cationic complex electrostaticly binds to the negatively charged phosphate backbone of DNA, and then a portion of the complex intercalates between the base pairs on the DNA duplex strand.

Solvent effects on the redox properties of tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II/III) complexes

The redox properties of the system Fe(tmphen)₃(II/III) (tmphen=3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) have been studied in the solvents nitromethane, acetonitrile, propanediol-1,2-carbonate, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide and of the systems Fe(phen)₃(II/III) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) and Fe(niphen)₃(II/III) (niphen=5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline) in the solvents nitromethane, acetonitrile, propanediol-1,2-carbonate and acetone. The redox potentials of Fe(tmphen)₃(II/III) are nearly independent of the solvent suggesting that the system might be used as a reference redox couple similar to the systems ferrocene/ferricinium or bisbiphenylchromium(0/I). In contrast the redox potentials of Fe(niphen)₃(II/III) show a significant decrease with increasing donor number of the solvent which can be explained by nucleophilic attack of solvent molecules at the iron. It is shown that such a mechanism is consistent with the known solvent and salt effects on the kinetics of dissociation of ferroin and ferriin type complexes.
