Application of the Volterra filter in experimental diffraction data processing

The effective signal in x-ray diffraction analysis of material properties often contains high frequency (noise) and low frequency (trend) components as additive parts. It is necessary to extract the effective signal from the noise to ensure high quality of signal processing. Digital filters of Volterra type are proposed for filtering purposes and a comparison of Volterra filtration implemented on x-ray diffraction data versus results from a set of other digital filters is given.     

On classification of conformally flat spaces

Classification of conformally flat n-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spaces via Plebanski's method is discussed. It is based on embedding these spaces into a flat (n + 2)-dimensional space and on finding their minimal isometry groups which are subgroups of the conformal group. In particular, the case n = 4 is given in full detail and compared with incomplete results known in the literature. The found conformally flat spacetimes are identified with the associated solutions of the Einstein equations and with the spacetimes used in various cosmological considerations.     

trans-Bis(azido-κN)bis(pyridine-2-carboxamide-κ2N1,O2)nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(N₃)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂], the Ni^II atom lies on an inversion centre. The distorted octahedral nickel(II) coordination environment contains two planar trans-related N,O-chelating picolinamide ligands in one plane and two monodentate azide ligands perpendicular to this plane. Molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by N—H...N hydrogen bonds.
