Slope parameter and scaling of differential cross-section of Λ-p scattering

The claim of Mohapatra and Maharana thattb(s) is a better scaling variable thant(lns)² is put to test in the case of Λ-p scattering, after parametrizingb(s) asC ₁ +C ₂(lns)α. It was observed that in this case the data also prefer anα value which is close to those obtained by Mohapatra and Maharana for other scattering processes.

Bernstein-Type Inequalities for Rational Functions with Prescribed Poles

We establish Bernstein-type inequalities for rational functionswith prescribed poles in the Chebyshev norm on the unit circlein the complex plane. Generalizations of polynomial inequalitiesof Erds-Lax and Turán are also obtained for such rational functions with restricted zeros.     

Cubic and Quartic Convergence for First-Order Periodic Boundary-Value Problems

In this paper, the results of Lakshmikantham et al. (Ref. 1) for first-order periodic boundary-value problems are extended, by using the extended method of quaislinearization and rapid convergence for initial-value problems of Mohapatra et al. (Ref. 2). Also, it is shown that monotone sequences converge cubically to the unique solution when the forcing function in the differential equation is 2–hyperconvex and converge quartically when the forcing function is 3–hyperconvex. Several other generalizations of the problem are also presented.     

Synthesis of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-dibutyl malonamide functionalized polymer and its sorption affinities towards U(VI) and Th(IV) ions

A novel chelating polymeric material was synthesized by chemical anchoring of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-dibutyl malonamide (DMDBMA) with chloromethylated polystyrene-divinyl benzene polymer. The polymeric material thus prepared was characterized by ¹³C NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and CHN elemental analysis. The fabricated polymeric material exhibited superior binding for hexa-valent and tetra-valent metal ions such as U(VI) and Th(IV). Various physico-chemical properties of the functionalized polymer like phase adsorption kinetics, metal sorption mechanism and metal sorption capacity was studied in the static method. Adsorption kinetics studies show that <20 min was sufficient for >99.99% adsorption of Th(IV) and U(VI). The kinetics for adsorption of U(VI) and Th(IV) was found to follow the first order Lagergren rate kinetics. Adsorption of U(VI) on the malonamide functionalized polymer followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption phenomenon was also confirmed by the theoretical approach calculated based on the adsorption kinetics. The metal sorption capacities for uranium and thorium were found to be 18.78 ± 1.53 mg and 15.74 ± 1.59 mg/g of the chelating polymer at 3 M HNO₃, respectively.
