Factorization of univalent analytic functions on compact Riemann surfaces with boundary

The paper is devoted to the theory of factorization of univalent analytic functions on a compact Riemann surface with boundary. The main component of the theory is a new method for the removal of the periods of certain functions (the natural analogues of the Schwarz integral and Blaschke products) along the boundary curves and bundle sections.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Noncommutative four-dimensional subalgebras of conformal algebra integrable in the space R1,3

D'alambert's equation is used as an example to study the possibilities of a new method of exactly integrating systems of linear differential equations — the method of noncommutative integration (NI). The results confirm that use of the NI is equivalent to complete separation of the variables in the case of four-dimensional subalgebras of conformal algebra. However, the method does simplify determination of the exact solution in this instance.Tomsk University.

X-ray fluorescence determination of bromine in halogenated organic compounds using quasisolid emitters

A series of quasi-solid emitters is proposed for the X-ray fluorescence determination of bromine in different bromine-containing compounds. It is shown that sucrose-based glasses are the best emitters for analyzing alkali solutions of halogenated organic compounds, saccharose-based glasses and polymer films are best for analyzing powder samples, and organic gels offer most promise for analyzing liquid (at normal conditions) samples. It is noted that the proposed method can expand the possibilities of commercially produced element analyzers, which are currently intended for determining only C, H, O, N, and S in organic compounds and cannot be used for determining halogens.     

Solid-phase extraction on alkyl-bonded silica gels in inorganic analysis.

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is an effective tool for the preconcentration of trace elements and their separation from various sample constituents. Octadecyl and other alkyl-bonded silica gels are most widely used for these purposes. The fundamentals of the SPE of inorganic ions are reviewed and compared with those of related techniques (liquid-liquid extraction and reversed-phase liquid chromatography). The extraction of ions in the form of chelate compounds, inorganic salts solvated by neutral reagents, and ion-pair compounds is considered. Numerous applications of SPE to the separation and preconcentration of different elements and their species, including on-line combinations with instrumental determination techniques, are described and tabulated.     

Hydrophobicity and thermal stability of fluorinated pentaerythritol esters

Wetting angles and limits of thermal stability of esters derived from pentaerythritol and perfluoro-, ω-chloropolyfluoro-, and perfluoropolyethercarboxylic acids were studied.     

On the moment characteristics of distributions

We study different moment characteristics of (mostly discrete) distributions: general, central, binomial, and factorial moments, and also ordinary and factorial semi-invariants. We establish the relations that connect various kinds of “moments” of arbitrary order, and we derive recursion formulas. Translated fromMetody Matematicheskogo Modelirovaniya, pp. 34–41, 1998.     

Determination of the thermal stresses in anisotropic shells of revolution

Using the relations of the improved model of layered anisotropic shells based on the straight line assumption taking account of the thermal compression over the thickness we obtain a resolvent system of equations for shells whose properties depend on temperature. We carry out a study of the stresses in a two-layer cylindrical shell formed by winding as a function of the winding angle.
