宇宙学常数疑难

当代天文学的一系列观测事实都支持应该存在一个非零的正的宇宙学常数，但是，人们发现当前宇宙学常数值太小，而且宇宙学常数即真空能量密度与现在的物质密度巧合地具有相同的量级，然而现有物理学理论还无法给出合理的解释，因此宇宙学常数问题成为物理学和天文学上最重大的疑难之一。文章综述了近年来宇宙在加速膨胀这一重大的天文发现和宇宙学常数的观测结果以及当前理论物理学在宇宙学常数问题上的一些尝试。     

Determination of the Constants of Binding of Acridine Dyes with Micelles of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Using the Quenching of Delayed Fluorescence by Heavy Atoms

The constants of binding dye molecules with the micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate are determined using quenching of delayed fluorescence of acridine dyes by sodium iodide in aqueous–micellar solutions. Kinetic equations have been composed that describe the processes of deactivation of the excited states of dyes. By solving these equations at the concentration of the quencher sodium iodide corresponding to the minimum lifetime of triplet states and at the concentration of micelles corresponding to the least value of the delayed fluorescence quenching rate constants, we obtained the constants of binding dyes with micelles equal to 1.3·10⁷, 2.9·10⁷, and 3.1·10⁷ M^–1 for trypaflavine, acridine orange, and acridine yellow, respectively. We calculated the rate constants of quenching of the triplet states of the molecules of dyes by iodide ions (I ^–) that decreased in transition from trypaflavine to acridine orange and acridine yellow.     

Multiple nontrivial solutions for nonlinear periodic problems with the p-Laplacian

We consider a nonlinear periodic problem driven by the scalar p-Laplacian with a nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequality). Using the degree theory for multivalued perturbations of (S)₊-operators and the spectrum of a class of weighted eigenvalue problems for the scalar p-Laplacian, we prove the existence of at least three distinct nontrivial solutions, two of which have constant sign.     

The logarithmic norm. History and modern theory

In his 1958 thesis Stability and Error Bounds, Germund Dahlquist introduced the logarithmic norm in order to derive error bounds in initial value problems, using differential inequalities that distinguished between forward and reverse time integration. Originally defined for matrices, the logarithmic norm can be extended to bounded linear operators, but the extensions to nonlinear maps and unbounded operators have required a functional analytic redefinition of the concept.This compact survey is intended as an elementary, but broad and largely self-contained, introduction to the versatile and powerful modern theory. Its wealth of applications range from the stability theory of IVPs and BVPs, to the solvability of algebraic, nonlinear, operator, and functional equations.

Branched polymers in a wedge geometry in three dimensions

We investigate the statistical and dimensional properties of uniform star polymers attached by the branching vertex of degreef in a wedge geometry in three dimensions and described by the wedge angles and. We show that the growth constant is equal to ^f , where is the self-avoiding walk limit. Thef and (, ) dependences of the corresponding critical exponent _f (, ) are studied using Monte Carlo techniques. In the casef=1, our results are compared with existing predictions obtained from series expansion and renormalization group methods. We have also estimated the amplitudes for the mean square radius of gyration and the mean square end-to-end branch length. Our results for the ratio of the mean square radius of gyration of anf-star to that of a linear polymer of the same degree of polymerization attached in a similar wedge, and the analogous ratio for the mean square end-to-end branch length, are consistent with these ratios being lattice-independent quantities.     

Determination of the optimal initial function and the parameters for nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper deals with dynamic systems described by nonlinear differential-difference equations of retarded type. The problem considered is to determine the initial function and certain system parameters which minimize a given cost functional. A computational method is presented and some convergence results are given. Numerical examples of linear and nonlinear systems are also included.     

From dilute to dense self-avoiding walks on hypercubic lattices

A field-theoretic representation is presented to count the number of configurations of a single self-avoiding walk on a hypercubic lattice ind dimensions with periodic boundary conditions. We evaluate the connectivity constant as a function of the fractionf of sites occupied by the polymer chain. The meanfield approximation is exact in the limit of infinite dimensions, and corrections to it in powers ofd ^–1 can be systematically evaluated. The connectivity constant and the site entropy calculated throughout second order compare well with known results in two and three dimensions. We also find that the entropy per site develops a maximum atf1–(2d)^–1. Ford=2 (d=3), this maximum occurs atf~0.80 (f~0.86) and its value is about 50% (30%) higher than the entropy per site of a Hamiltonian walk (f=1).     

Potentiometric studies on the complexation equilibria between some trivalent lanthanide metal ions and biologically active 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HNATS)

Summary The chelation behaviour of some trivalent lanthanide and yttrium metal ion with biologically active 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HNATS) has been investigated by potentiomotric measurements at 20±0.5°C in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water medium at various ionic strengths of sodium perchlorate. The method of Bjerrum and Calvin, as modified by Irving and Rossotti has been used to find out the values of (average number of ligand bound per metal ion) andpL (free ligand exponent). The formation constants of metal chelates have been computed on a PC-XT computer, using a program patterned after that of Sullivan et al. to give _n values using weighted least squares method. TheS _min values (S _min =²) have been calculated. The order of formation constants of chelates was found to be: La³⁺3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+. The formation constants of the chelates formed have been correlated to size and ionization potentials of the metal ions.

Potentiometrische Untersuchungen der Komplexierungsgleichgewichte zwischen einigen trivalenten Metallionen und biologisch aktivem 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyd-thiosemicarbazon (HNATS)

Zusammenfassung Es wurde das Chelierungsverhalten einiger trivalenter Lanthanidenionen mit biologisch aktivem 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyd-thiosemicarbazon (HNATS) mittels potentiometrischer Messungen bei 20±0.5°C in 75% (v/v) Dioxan-Wasser bei verschiedener Ionenstärke an Natriumperchlorat untersucht. Die Methode nach Bjerrum und Calvin in der Modifikation nach Irving und Rossotti wurde zur Ermittlung der Werte (mittlere Anzahl an Liganden pro Metallion) undpL (Exponent an freiem Liganden) verwendet. Die Komplexbildungskonstanten wurden in Anlehnung an Sullivan et al. an einem PC-XT Computer errechnet. DieS _min-Werte (S _min=²) wurden ebenfalls bestimmt. Die Reihung der Chelatbildungskonstanten war: La³⁺3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+. Die Bildungskonstanten sind mit der Größe und dem Ionisierungspotential der Metallionen zu korrelieren.
