Banach-Saks operators on spaces of continuous functions

Summary Let K be a compact Hausdorff space and let E be a Banach space. We denote by C(K, E) the Banach space of all E-valued continuous functions defined on K, endowed with the supremum norm. We study in this paper Banach-Saks operators defined on C(K, E) spaces. We characterize these operators for a large class of compacts K (the scattered ones), or for a large class of Banach spaces E (the superreflexive ones). We also show by some examples that our theorems can not be extended directly.Partially supported by C.A.I.C.Y.T. grant 0338-84.

Manifolds with invariant semi-Riemannian almost product structure

A manifold M with semi-Riemannian almost product structure invariant relative to a transformation group G is considered. A connection with special G-invariance property is constructed in the corresponding bundle of frames.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 7, pp. 926–931, July, 1992.     

某些查耳酮化合物的发光

本文叙述了两个同质查耳酮系列的合成.一个带有查耳酮中心链(系列Ⅰ),另一个是系列Ⅰ的酯类(系列Ⅱ).研究了每个系列中三种化合物的发光,发现两个系列的所有化合物都能见到发光.系列Ⅰ中的化合物在峰值为360nm处可见到发光,而系Ⅱ列中的化合物未能观测到这一波长的发光.然而,在峰值为470nm处两者均可见到发光.得出的结论是,消除非键电子微扰作用的氢键是系列Ⅰ中的化合物在360nm处出现发光的原因.

The Post-Hopf-Bifurcation Response of a Loosely Supported Cylinder in an Array Subjected to Cross-Flow. Part II: Theoretical Model and Comparison with Experiments

A nonlinear quasi-steady model for the analysis of the dynamics of a loosely supported cylinder, which takes into account position-dependent nonlinear fluid forces as well as nonuniform flow, is formulated. The model includes an approximation for the equivalent viscous damping associated with energy dissipation on impact at the support. The nonlinear model shows reasonably good agreement with experiments, in predicting the observed bifurcations in the cylinder response. Comparison criteria include the standard orbital plots, time traces and response spectra. A borderline chaotic response is found to be predominant over the test velocity range. In this chaotic regime, the theoretical results were verified via attractor fractal-dimension calculations and saddle orbit distributions; theoretical values of these invariant measures compare reasonably well with their experimental counterparts. Two mechanisms leading to chaos have been identified for this system. The first is a switching mechanism , at the onset of impacting. The second, and more prevalent, is the type I intermittency route to chaos.     

Monitoring genomic alterations with a panel of oligonucleotide probes specific for various simple repeat motifs

Germline and somatic instability of the human genome was studied, using synthetic oligonucleotides specific for simple repeat motifs. The following probes were used: (GTG)5, (GACA)4, (GATA)4, (CT)8, (TTAGGG)3, (GT)8, (GAA)6 and (GGAT)4. Each of them is unique with respect to the target regions recognized in the genome. Thus compilation of the various fingerprint data provides a complex map of the genome (and its deviations). While the fingerprints of differentiated somatic tissues never showed any alterations, in tumor tissues (namely gliomas) many changes could be detected. Most of the latter reflect secondary karyological aberrations. In nearly one third of the gliomas, drastically amplified and apparently monomorphic DNA fragments were identified. This marker should make it possible to deal with causal pathogenetic mechanisms as well as novel diagnostic strategies.

Optical spectra and laser-induced dissociation of supported Na particles

This paper reports new results on the optical spectra of Na particles and on laser-induced photodissociation of Na atoms from the surface of these particles. In continuation of our earlier studies we have performed experiments to elucidate the mechanism of thenonthermal dissociation process. Furthermore, theoretical calculations have been carried out with the goal to correlate the wavelength dependence of the photodissociation yield with the optical absorption spectra of the metal particles. In addition, manipulation of the size distribution of metal particles on supports is outlined as an application of the effect. This allows for the preparation of very special surfaces with novel physical and chemical properties.
