Synthesis and characterization of a methacrylate polymer with side chain ketone and its derivatives

A new type of methacrylate monomer,2-(4-benzoylphenoxy)-2-oxoethyl methylacrylate(BOEMA) was synthesized.The radical homopolymerization of BOEMA was performed at 65℃in a 1,4-dioxane solution with benzoyl peroxide as an initiator.The oxime and thiosemicarbazone derivatives of poly[2-(4-benzoylphenoxy)-2-oxoethyl methylacrylate]poly(BOEMA) were prepared with hydroxylamine hydrochloride,and thiosemicarbazone hydrochloride, respectively.The monomer and its homopolymer were characterized with Fourier transform infrared and NMR techniques. The thermal stabilities of poly(BOEMA) and its derivatives were investigated with thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.The ultraviolet stability of the polymers was compared.The antibacterial and antifungal effects of the monomer and the polymer and its derivatives were also investigated on various bacteria and fungi.The activation energies of the thermal degradation of the polymers were calculated with the Ozawa and Kissinger methods.     

Time-constrained temporal logic control of multi-affine systems

In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling a dynamical system such that its trajectories satisfy a temporal logic property in a given amount of time. We focus on multi-affine systems and specifications given as syntactically co-safe linear temporal logic formulas over rectangular regions in the state space. The proposed algorithm is based on estimating the time bounds for facet reachability problems and solving a time optimal reachability problem on the product between a weighted transition system and an automaton that enforces the satisfaction of the specification. A random optimization algorithm is used to iteratively improve the solution.     

Social paradoxes of majority rule voting and renormalization group

Real-space renormalization group ideas are used to study a voting problem in political science. A model to construct self-directed pyramidal structures from bottom up to the top is presented. Using majority rules, it is shown that a minority and even a majority can be systematically self-eliminated from top leadership, provided the hierarchy has a minimal number of levels. In some cases, 70% of the population is found to have zero representation after six hierarchical levels. Results are discussed with respect to the internal operation of political organizations.     

A mixed phase transition for a hierarchical spin glass

A New Proof of the Mullineux Conjecture

Let S _d denote the symmetric group on d letters. In 1979 Mullineux conjectured a combinatorial algorithm for calculating the effect of tensoring with an irreducible S _d-module with the one dimensional sign module when the ground field has positive characteristic. Kleshchev proved the Mullineux conjecture in 1996. In the present article we provide a new proof of the Mullineux conjecture which is entirely independent of Kleshchev's approach. Applying the representation theory of the supergroup GL(m | n) and the supergroup analogue of Schur-Weyl Duality it becomes straightforward to calculate the combinatorial effect of tensoring with the sign representation and, hence, to verify Mullineux's conjecture. Similar techniques also allow us to classify the irreducible polynomial representations of GL(m | n) of degree d for arbitrary m, n, and d.     

Recovery of Band-Limited Functions on Locally Compact Abelian Groups from Irregular Samples

Using the techniques of approximation and factorization of convolution operators we study the problem of irregular sampling of band-limited functions on a locally compact Abelian group G. The results of this paper relate to earlier work by Feichtinger and Gröchenig in a similar way as Kluvánek's work published in 1969 relates to the classical Shannon Sampling Theorem. Generally speaking we claim that reconstruction is possible as long as there is sufficient high sampling density. Moreover, the iterative reconstruction algorithms apply simultaneously to families of Banach spaces.
