Isoflavonoid glycosides from the rhizomes of Iris germanica

Four isoflavone glycosides were isolated from the rhizomes of Iris germanica. Compounds 1 and 2 are new, while compounds 3 and 4 are known isoflavone glycosides. These compounds were identified as iriskashmirianin 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside (1), nigricin 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside (2), irilone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside (3) and iridin (4). Their structures were determined with the help of spectroscopic methods.     

Thermoluminescence of x-irradiated CaSO4:Dy phosphors and role of Na2SO4 as a charge compensator

The thermoluminescence of x-irradiated CaSO₄: Dy phosphors has been studied for diverse activator concentrations. The concentration-dependence of these phosphors on the increase of glow peak intensities has been found to be remarkable. For higher concentration of dysprosium the concentration quenching effect has been observed. This has been attributed to the resonant transfer of energy from one activator atom to another, bringing the possible migration of energy in a solid, which is likely to get dissipated without luminescence, at the quenching site itself. The effect of irradiation time on the glow peak intensities reveals the initial linearity and a subsequent decrease indicating the possible radiation damage. The role of Na₂SO₄ as a charge compensator has been studied in detail. An attempt has been made to unravel the type of kinetics involved in the process, by calculating the activation energies by different methods. It has been concluded that the type of kinetics involved in the process is bimolecular.     

Analysis of multiparticle production data on proton-nucleus collisions using a new variable

Multiparticle production data on proton-nucleus collisions have been analyzed taking the number of ‘created’ charged particles instead of the observed number of shower particles as the variable. The mean normalized multiplicity,R _A , has been found to be independent of energy in the energy range (7–8000) GeV and its mass number dependence has been obtained. The modified analysis introduces some more regularities in the experimental results onp-nucleus collisions like the invariance with respect to energy of the relationshipR _A = α + βN _h and the KNO-like scaling of the multiplicity distributions of the created charged particles. The functional form of the scaling function has been calculated.     

New Linear Codes Over \mathbb{F}_3 and \mathbb{F}_5 and Improvements on Bounds

One of the most important problems of coding theory is to constructcodes with best possible minimum distances. In this paper, we generalize the method introduced by [8] and obtain new codes which improve the best known minimum distance bounds of some linear codes. We have found a new linear ternary code and 8 new linear codes over with improved minimumdistances. First we introduce a generalized version of Gray map,then we give definition of quasi cyclic codes and introduce nearlyquasi cyclic codes. Next, we give the parameters of new codeswith their generator matrices. Finally, we have included twotables which give Hamming weight enumerators of these new codes.

Ligand free,highly efficient synthesis of diaryl ether over copper fluorapatite as heterogeneous reusable catalyst

A novel ligand-free, highly efficient, and an inexpensive method has been developed by using ecofriendly, heterogeneous reusable copper fluorapatite (CuFAP) catalyst for the synthesis of diaryl ethers from the cross coupling reaction of the various substituted aryl halides (fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide) with the potassium salts of various substituted phenols in the presence of N-methyl 2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent at 120 °C. The protocol obtained the corresponding cross coupling products in good to excellent yield. The CuFAP catalyst was recovered by simple filtration from the reaction mixture and reused several times without the loss of catalytic activity.     

Entropy and specific heat as a measure of fluctuations in multiparticle production in relativistic nuclear collisions

An analysis to disentangle information about the occurrence of dynamical fluctuations in multiparticle production in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions has been carried out in terms of fractal moments and entropy for the experimental and simulated data using FRITIOF, UrQMD and HIJING generators. Although there is a possibility to thermodynamically interpret the final state of multiparticle production by calculating the values of specific heat, c, using G _q - and F _q -moments. However, both these moments give markedly different values of c. The constancy observed in the values of specific heats calculated from either G _q - or F _q -moments is in accord with the predictions of constant specific heat approximation. Variations of multifractal and factorial moments and various other parameters calculated from these moments predict the presence of non-statistical fluctuations in high energy nuclear collisions.     

Scheme for the teleportation of bipartite entangled state of the two cavity modes

In this paper, we propose a scheme for the teleportation of general two-partite entangled state of zero and one photon state from one bimodal cavity to another. The scheme can be realized by using cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED).
