In the theory of iterative methods, the classical Stein-Rosenberg theorem can be viewed as giving the simultaneous convergence (or divergence) of the extrapolated Jacobi (JOR) matrix Jω and the successive overrelaxation (SOR) matrix , in the case when the Jacobi matrix J1 is nonnegative. As has been established recently by Buoni and Varga, necessary and sufficient conditions for the simultaneous convergence (or divergence) of Jω and have been established which do not depend on the assumption that J1 is nonnegative. Our aim here is to extend these results to the singular case, using the notion of semiconvergence. In particular, for a real singular matrix A with nonpositive off-diagonal entries, we find conditions (Theorem 3.4) which imply that Jω and simultaneously semiconverge for all ω in the real interval [0,1). 相似文献
The binding of the cations thallium(I), calcium(II) and terbium(III) to methyl methacrylate– methacrylic acid copolymers
with different fractions of acid groups (x) has been studied in aqueous solution at various pH values using the fluorescence of covalently bonded 9-vinyl anthracene
as a probe. In all cases, the extent of binding increases as a function of the charge of the polymer with either increasing
fraction of carboxylic acids or of pH. However, differences are observed in the behavior of the three cations. With Tl(I),
quenching of the anthracene group fluorescence is observed, indicating that the thallium(I) approaches the probe and suggesting
that the alkylanthracene is probably in a relatively polar region. Binding constants have been determined from anthracene
quenching data and from studies with the fluo-rescent-probe sodium pyrenetetra-sulfonate. Good agreement is obtained between
the two methods, and values for the binding constants increase from 250 to 950 M-1 as x increases from 0.39 to 1. It is suggested that the cation is held in the polyelectrolyte domain, partly by Debye–Hückel effects
and partly by more specific interactions. Stronger binding is found with calcium(II) and terbium(III), and in this case increases
in fluorescence intensity are observed on complexation due to the anthracene group being in a more hydrophobic region, probably
as a result of conformational changes in the polymer chain. In the former case the stoichiometry of the interaction was determined
from the fluorescence data to involve two carboxylate groups bound per calcium. Association constants were found using murexide
as an indicator of free calcium to vary from 8400 to 37 000 M-1 as x increases from 0.39 to 1. It is suggested that in this case specific calcium(II)–carboxylate interactions contribute to the
binding. With terbium(III), a greater increase in the probe fluorescence intensity was observed than with calcium, and it
is suggested that the interaction with the polymer is even stronger, leading to a more pronounced conformational change in
the polymer. It is proposed that the terbium(III) interacts with six carboxylic groups on the polymer chain, with three being
coordinated and three attracted by electrostatic interactions.

Abstract— The reactions of the excited states of safranine T with aliphatic amines have been studied in methanol and acetonitrile. Quenching of the singlet and triplet states occurs by different mechanisms. Whereas the former excited state is quenched by a charge-transfer mechanism, the triplet state is quenched through proton transfer from the excited dye to the amine. This process leads to the unprotonated form of the dye in the triplet state, which is later quenched by amines to form the corresponding semireduced species. The monoprotonated triplet also undergoes self-quenching in both solvents (k = 1.2 × 108 M -1 s-1). 相似文献
The electronic properties of a series of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) compounds, namely LaMnO3, La(1-x)Ba(x)(MnO3 (0.2 < or = x < or = 0.55), La(0.76)Ba(0.24)Mn(0.84)Co(0.16)O3, and La(0.76)Ba(0.24)Mn(0.78)Ni(0.22)O3, have been investigated in a detailed spectroscopic study. A combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) was used to reveal a detailed picture of the electronic structure in the presence of Ba, Co, and Ni doping in different concentrations. The results are compared with available theory. The valence band of La(1-x)()Ba(x)MnO3 (0 < or = x < or = 0.55) is dominated by La 5p, Mn 3d, and O 2p states, and strong hybridization between Mn 3d and O 2p states is present over the whole range of Ba concentrations. Co-doping at the Mn site leads to an increased occupancy of the e(g) states near the Fermi energy and an increase in the XPS valence band intensity between 0.5 and 5 eV, whereas the Ni-doped sample shows a lower density of occupied states near the Fermi energy. The Ni d states are located in a band spanning the energy range of 1.5-5 eV. XAS spectra indicate that the hole doping leads to mixed Mn 3d-O 2p states. Furthermore, RIXS at the Mn L edge has been used to probe d-d transitions and charge-transfer excitations in La(1-x)Ba(x)MnO3. 相似文献
Analysis of the reduced turbidity (delta T-/T0) and absorbance (delta A-/A0) relaxations of unilamellar lipid vesicles, doped with the diphenylhexatrienyl-phosphatidylcholine (beta-DPH pPC) lipids in high-voltage rectangular electrical field pulses, demonstrates that the major part of the turbidity and absorbance dichroism is caused by vesicle elongation under electric Maxwell stress. The kinetics of this electrochemomechanical shape deformation (time constants 0.1 < or = tau/microsecond < or = 3) is determined both by the entrance of water and ions into the bulk membrane phase to form local electropores, and by the faster processes of membrane stretching and smoothing of thermal undulations. Moreover, the absorbance dichroism indicates local displacements of the chromophore relative to the membrane normal in the field. The slightly slower relaxations of the chemical turbidity (delta T+/T0) and absorbance (delta A+/A0) modes are both associated with the entrance of solvent into the interface membrane/medium, caused by the alignment of the bipolar lipid head groups in one of the leaflets at the pole caps of the vesicle bilayer. In addition, (delta T+/T0) indicates changes in vesicle shape and volume. The results for lipid vesicles provide guidelines for the analysis of electroporative deformations of biological cells. 相似文献
A quantitative criterion called “shape parameter” to evaluate the quality of surface tension measurement of Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis (ADSA) is presented. ADSA is a powerful technique for the measurement of interfacial tensions and contact angles of pendant drops, sessile drops, and bubbles. Despite the general success of ADSA, deficient results may be obtained for drops close to spherical shape. Therefore, the “shape parameter” was used to determine the range of drop shapes in which ADSA succeeds or fails. The “shape parameter” is a dimensionless parameter that expresses quantitatively the difference in shape between a given experimental profile and an inscribed circle. The surface tension measurements of ADSA were evaluated for both pendant drop and constrained sessile drop configurations using the shape parameter. Different shapes of the pendant drop were studied using different sizes and materials of holders. For each drop configuration, a “critical shape parameter” was defined based on the minimum value of the shape parameter that guarantees an error of less than ±0.1 mJ/m2. Furthermore, the effects of the type of liquid and constellation on the “critical shape parameter” were studied. 相似文献
The thermally stable solids Re2(CO)8[μ-InRe(CO)5]2 and Re4(CO)12[μ3-InRe(CO)5]4 could be obtained by treatment of In with Re2(CO)10 in a bomb tube. A mechanism of the formation of the latter cluster from the first one is proposed. Compared with Re2(CO)8[μ-InRe(CO)5]2, Re4(CO)12[μ3_InRe(CO)5]4 shows in polar solvents an unusual high stability, which can be explained by the higher coordination number of In with rhenium carbonyl ligands. Re4(CO)12-[μ3-InRe(CO)5]4 dissolves monomerically in acetone, where as Re2(CO)8[μ-InRe(CO)5]2 dissociates yielding Re(CO)5? anions. Single-crystal X-ray analyses of Re4(CO)12[μ3-InRe(CO)5]4 establish the metal skeleton. The central molecular fragment Re4(CO)12 contains a tetrahedral arrangement of four bonded Re atoms [ReRe 302.8 (5) pm]. The triangles of this fragment are capped with a μ3-InRe(CO)5 group each [InRe(terminal) 273.5 (7) pm; InRe (polyhedral) 281.8 (7) pm]. The bridging type of In atoms with the Re4 tetrahedron and the metal skeleton was realized for the first time. By treating Re4(CO)12[μ3-InRe(CO)5]4 with Br2 the existence of Re(CO)5 ligands could be proved by isolating BrRe(CO)5. 相似文献
