Synthesis and reversible thermo-induced conformational transitions of a stable nitroxide biradical based on calix[4]arene

A stable paramagnetic calix[4]arene(III) bearing two nitroxide groups on the upper rim is synthesized, which exhibits a strong intramolecular spin-spin exchange interaction and is found to be able to undergo reversible conformational transitions upon heating.     

Measurement of B0-B-0 flavor oscillations in hadronic B0 decays

Flavor oscillations of neutral B mesons have been studied in e+e- annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies near the upsilon(4S) resonance. The data sample used for this purpose consists of events in which one B0 meson is reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode, while the flavor of the recoiling B0 is determined with a tagging algorithm that exploits the correlation between the flavor of the heavy quark and the charges of its decay products. From the time development of the observed mixed and unmixed final states, we determine the B0-B-0 oscillation frequency deltamd to be 0.516+/-0.016(stat)+/-0.010(syst) ps-1.     

Measurement of B --> K*gamma branching fractions and charge asymmetries

The branching fractions of the exclusive decays B0-->K(*0)gamma and B+-->K(*+)gamma are measured from a sample of (22.74+/-0.36)x10(6) BB decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e(+)e(-) collider. We find B (B0-->K(*0)gamma) = [4.23+/-0.40(stat)+/-0.22(syst)]x10(-5), B(B+-->K(*+)gamma) = [3.83+/-0.62(stat)+/-0.22(syst)]x10(-5) and constrain the CP-violating charge asymmetry to be -0.170K(*)gamma)<0.082 at 90% C.L.     

Prediction of programmed-temperature retention values of naphthas by artificial neural networks

It is proposed for the first time a method of prediction of the programmed-temperature retention times of components of naphthas in capillary gas chromatography using artificial neural networks. People are used to predict the programmed-temperature retention time using many formulas such as the integral formula, which requires that four parameters must be determined by calculation or experiments. However the results obtained by the formula are not so good to meet the demand of industry. In order to predict retention time accurately and conveniently, artificial neural networks using five-fold cross-validation and leave-20%-out methods have been applied. Only two parameters: density and isothermal retention index were used as input vectors. The average RMS error for predicted values of five different networks was 0.18, whereas the RMS error of predictions by the integral formula was 0.69. Obviously, the predictions by neural networks were much better than predictions by the formula, and neural networks need fewer parameters than the formula. So neural networks can successfully and conveniently solve the problem of predictions of programmed-temperature retention times, and provide useful data for analysis of naphthas in petrochemical industry.     

Solution conformational preferences of glutaric, 3‐hydroxyglutaric, 3‐methylglutaric acid,and their mono‐ and dianions

Conformational preferences of glutaric, 3‐hydroxyglutaric and 3‐methylglutaric acid, and their mono‐ and dianions have been investigated with the aid of NMR spectroscopy. In contrast to succinic acid, glutaric acid displays essentially statistical conformational equilibria in polar and non‐polar solutions of high and low hydrogen‐bonding ability with no clear evidence for intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions. The acid ionization constant ratios, K ₁/K₂, in D₂O and DMSO of glutaric, 3‐hydroxyglutaric, and 3‐methylglutaric acids also indicate that intramolecular interactions are much less important than, or indeed insignificant, for shorter‐chain acids. FTIR studies on 3‐methylglutaric acid indicate some preference for either association with solvent or dimerization, depending on the solvent, rather than intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

RELAXATION AND EXISTENCE IN NONISOTROPICAL PLASTICITY PROBLEMS

Giving a nonisotropic plasticity problem on a Sobolev Space, the author tries to relax it to a new problem whioh is posed on a subset of BD (Ω). It is proved that this relaxation does not change the equilibrium energy and that the solutions exist in such settings under not too restricted conditions.
