Teaching analytical properties

A new way of expounding analytical properties based on their mutual dependence (complementary and contradictory relationships) and their unequivocal connection with analytical quality facets is presented. To this end, the paper provides answers to the obvious questions that arise in dealing with the subject: why?, how?, when? and where to teach analytical properties in the Analytical Chemistry curriculum?     

Growth properties for solutions of differential equations defined in the disk

Summary We investigate the growth of solutions of a class of differential equations which are defined in the unit disk and for which the coefficients have slow growth in the unit disk as measured by the Nevanlinna characteristic. These results extend earlier work of S. Bank.     

Deformation of doped NaCl crystals during uniaxial compression at temperatures of 4.2–293 K

The impurity weakening of crystalline NaCl:Mg and NaCl:Mn associated with purification of the matrix in a melt is demonstrated. This effect is manifested in a consistent change in the yield strength and mobility of dislocations. Its unusual temperature dependence is determined: in a number of cases weakening becomes greater as the temperature is lowered within the interval 293–4.2 K. A deviation in the elastic region of the stress-strain curves is observed to increase as the temperature is lowered. Plasticizing of crystalline NaCl is established: when the deformation temperature is lowered from 293 to 77 and 4.2 K the rate of rise in the yield strength of Cd²⁺ and Sr²⁺ doped samples is lower than that of undoped samples. An explanation for this fact is proposed. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 39, 313–317 (February 1997) Deceased.     

Optimal Server Acquisition in Open Queueing Networks

Several production and flexible manufacturing systems can naturally be modelled using queueing networks. In this paper, we consider the problem of acquiring servers for the nodes of an open queueing network, so as to optimize the steady-state mean virtual system parameters subject to a budget constraint. A partial enumeration scheme and a heuristic method have been proposed to solve this problem. Empirical results based on randomly generated test problems are used to identify a class of problems for which the heuristic performs well.     

Laser induced air breakdown using 0.355, 0.532, and 1.06 µm radiation

Studies of breakdown threshold intensity for air at various pressures in the range of 24–760 torr using 0.355, 0.532 and 1.06 μm radiation are reported. We observep ^−0.8 scaling ofI _th at 1.06 μm and a weak scaling ofp ^−0.4 at 0.532 and 0.355 μm radiation. Strong dependence of breakdown spot size on laser power but weak dependence on air pressure is observed.

Unified Interactive Multiple Objective Programming: An Open Architecture For Accommodating New Procedures

It has previously been shown that nine of the most prominent procedures of interactive multiple objective programming can be considered as special cases of a common procedure called the unified algorithm. In this paper, we show how four additional procedures can be similarly included in the unified approach. Also, the paper presents a procedure-switching matrix that depicts the possibilities for switching from one procedure to another, one iteration to the next, in the unified algorithm if so directed by a user.
