Water wave radiation by a sphere submerged in water with an ice-cover

Using the multipoles method, we formulate the problems of radiation (both heave and sway) of water waves by a submerged sphere in deep as well as in uniform finite depth water with an ice-cover, with the ice-cover being modelled as an elastic plate of very small thickness. In each case this leads to an infinite system of linear equations which are solved numerically by standard techniques. The added-mass and damping coefficients for a heaving and swaying sphere are obtained and depicted graphically against the wave number for various values of the radius of the submerged sphere and flexural rigidity of the ice-cover to show the effect of the presence of ice-cover on these quantities. When the flexural rigidity is taken to be zero, the numerical results for the added-mass and damping coefficient for water with a free surface are recovered.     

Numerical method and models for anti-plane strain of a system with a thin elastic wedge

The paper presents a general method to find asymptotics for a (multi-)wedge system containing a thin wedge. It employs separation of the symmetric and anti-symmetric parts of the boundary displacements and tractions of the wedge. The method is applicable when the angle of the thin wedge turns to zero. A physical interpretation of the derived equations is obtained by using power expansions of non-polynomial functions, which appear after the Mellin transform. We establish that the first term in the expansion of the symmetric part corresponds to shear, while the first term of the anti-symmetric part describes deflection of the wedge axis. Numerical experiments, performed by using a code developed on the basis of the theory, show that using only the first terms of the expansions insignificantly influence accuracy: the approximate results coincide with the exact values of roots to the third significant digit even for the wedge angle of 30°.

Results of thermochemical studies of a new compound, potassium morpholinodithiocarbamate, are presented. The enthalpies of its solution in water at various dilutions and the specific heat at 173–348 K were examined by the experimental methods of isothermal and dynamic calorimetry.     

Complex formation of dimeric cyclophane zinc diphenylporphyrinates with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane and pyrazine

The formation of host-guest complexes between dimeric cyclophane zinc diphenylporphyrinates and bidentate ligands of different nature containing two nitrogen atoms has been studied by the spectrophotometric titration method and ¹H NMR spectroscopy in a toluene-methanol (2: 1) binary solvent. The complexation of these dimeric porphyrinates with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane or pyrazine can lead to 1: 1 or 1: 2 complexes, depending on the metalloporphyrin-to-ligand molar ratio. The stability constants of the porphyrinate-ligand complexes and concentration ranges of their formation have been determined.     

Investigation of the character of the exchange interaction in the system Hg1−xMnxSe

A new method is proposed for determining the magnetic characteristics (magnitude and sign of the exchange interaction energy and the average size of clusters of magnetic ions) of dilute solid solutions of semimagnetic semiconductors at low temperatures based on oscillation measurements. The method makes it possible to find the magnetic characteristics of the indicated systems at temperatures between the point of the transition into the spin glass state and the temperature corresponding to the characteristic binding energy of magnetic atoms in clusters, for which standard methods based on the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility are not effective. The method is used to study the character of the exchange interaction in the system of solid solutions Hg_1–xMn_xSe as a function of their composition as well as under conditions of hydrostatic compression. To this end the oscillations of the magnetoresistance (Shubnikov-de Haas (SH) effect) in single-crystalline samples of Hg_1–xMn_xSe in the region of compositions 0.001 x 0.23 in magnetic fields H up to 65 kOe at temperatures T = (0.4–20) K and pressures up to 16 kbar were studied.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 29–39, November, 1989.

Dehydrogenation of 1-(diphenylphosphinoyl)-2-(N′-phenylhydrazino)ethane and N-butyl-N′-phenylhydrazine

Dehydrogenation of 1-(diphenylphosphinoyl)-2-hydrazino-substituted ethanes and N-butyl-N′-phenylhydrazine to the corresponding hydrazone derivatives is performed. Both reactions were established to involve predominantly, if not exclusively, an azo intermediate.     

Phenylmercury derivatives of aminomethylene- and hydroxymethylene-substituted 1-methyloxindoles, 1-indanones,and 1,3-indanediones

A number of phenylmercury derivatives of 3-hydroxymethylene- and 3-aminomethylene-substituted 1-methyloxindoles, 1-indanones, and 1,3-indanediones were synthesized. It is shown that the preferred tautomeric structures of the potentially metallotropic and prototropic hydroxymethylene keto (hydroxy vinyl aldehyde) derivatives of the indicated compounds and 3-hydroxybenzo[b]-2-formylthiophene coincide precisely. An aminomethylene structure with an N-H bond is realized for the phenylmercury derivatives of the corresponding azomethines in all cases.Communication 28 from the series Benzenoid-Quinoid Tautomerism of Azomethines and Their Structural Analogs.

The complexing process proceeding in the Ni^II–thiocarbohydrazide (H₂N–H–NC(=S)–NH–NH₂)–propanone triple system in EtOH solution and nickel(II)hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrix has been studied. It has been found that in the first case, template synthesis leading, as a minimum, to formation of three coordination compounds of Ni^II with (N,N,S,S)-donor tetradentate ligands having NiL¹, NiL² and NiL³compositions where L¹ is 4,6,6-trimethyl-2,3,7,8-tetraazanonen-3-di(thiohydrazide)-1,9, L² is 4,6,6,12-tetrametyl-1,9-dithio-2,3,7,8,10,11-hexaazatridekadien-3,11-hydrazide-1 and L³ is 2,8,10,10,16-pentamethyl-5,13-dithio-3,4,6,7,11,12,14,15-octaazaheptadekatrien-2,7,15 is observed, whereas in the gelatin-immobilized matrix, a complexing process in the system considered does not occur.
