Seiberg-Witten invariants, orbifolds, and circle actions

The main result of this paper is a formula for calculating the Seiberg-Witten invariants of 4-manifolds with fixed-point-free circle actions. This is done by showing under suitable conditions the existence of a diffeomorphism between the moduli space of the 4-manifold and the moduli space of the quotient 3-orbifold. Two corollaries include the fact that } 1$"> -manifolds with fixed-point-free circle actions are simple type and a new proof of the equality . An infinite number of -manifolds with whose Seiberg-Witten invariants are still diffeomorphism invariants is constructed and studied.

     

Electrochemical reduction of cefminox at the mercury electrode and its voltammetric determination in urine

The electrochemical behaviour of cefminox in phosphate buffers solutions over pH range 2.0-9.0 using differential-pulse polarography, DC-tast polarography, cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry (staircase) has been studied. In acidic media, a non reversible diffusion-controlled reduction involving two electrons occurs and the mechanism for the reduction was suggested. A differential-pulse polarographic method for the determination of cefminox in the concentration range 5.8×10⁻⁶-6.0×10⁻⁵ M with a detection limit of 1.76×10⁻⁶ M was proposed. Also, a method based on controlled adsorptive pre-concentration of cefminox on the hanging mercury drop electrode followed by linear sweep voltammetry, allows its determination in the concentration range 8.3×10⁻⁸-1.5×10⁻⁶ M with a detection limit of 2.47×10⁻⁸ M. These methods have been used for the direct determination of cefminox in human urine with recoveries between 98 and 103%, and precision around ±2%.

醇类低温保护剂对NaCl水溶液共晶的影响

为了研究低温保护剂对盐水溶液共晶的影响, 利用差示扫描量热法(DSC)对添加不同浓度的甘油、乙二醇、1, 2-丙二醇、1, 3-丙二醇和二甲基亚砜的NaCl 水溶液的共晶现象进行了研究. 发现NaCl 水溶液共晶是一个过冷随机过程,醇类和二甲基亚砜对之有抑制作用.保护剂浓度越高,共晶焓越小, 对共晶的抑制作用越大. 其中4种醇类保护剂的抑制能力从强到弱依次是甘油、乙二醇、1, 2-丙二醇和1, 3-丙二醇.其抑制能力的强弱主要由分子量/羟基数的比值决定, 其次受甲基影响. 二甲基亚砜抑制共晶的能力与乙二醇的接近. 研究发现升温过程中,三元溶液发生共晶体的玻璃化现象和反玻璃化现象.

The calibration of the transducer, comparative measurements concerning the accuracy of specific heat capacity determination, the modelling for the high-temperature range and results for three steels are presented. The results are used to develop the database dbs for thermal simulation computations.     

Body temperature-responsive gels derived from hydroxypropylcellulose bearing lignin II: adsorption and release behavior

The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of hydroxypropylcellulose bearing lignin (HPC-L) prepared from unbleached pulp depends on the amount of residual lignin. An HPC-L gel having thermal properties reflective of original HPC-L was prepared using ethyleneglycol diglycidylether as a crosslinker, as previously reported [Uraki et al. (2004) Carbohydr. Polym. 58:123–130], and the volume transition temperature was detected as an endothermic peak by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The adsorption and release behavior of the guest molecules to/from this gel was then examined. When the adsorption of cationic and anionic guests was compared, cationic methylene blue (MB) was adsorbed in larger amounts than anionic methyl orange (MO). In addition, MB adsorption into the HPC-L gel was greater than MB adsorption into the HPC gel prepared from commercially available HPC. This suggests that residual lignin affects the adsorption of organic dyes. Significant differences were not observed with respect to the release of MB from HPC-L at 38 °C and lower temperatures. In the adsorption of surfactants, marked adsorption at around the critical micelle concentration of the ionic surfactants and gel swelling were observed. Such swelling did not occur in the aqueous nonionic surfactant solution, although the nonionic surfactant was adsorbed into the gel. Gel swelling may have been caused by the electrostatic repulsion of the ionic surfactants adsorbed onto the polymer chains within the gel structure.     

High resolution adsorption isotherms of N2 and Ar for nonporous silicas and MFI zeolites

The high resolution adsorption isotherms of N₂ (77.4 K) and Ar (87.3 K) have been measured for two nonporous silicas with different silanol contents (3.3 and 0.35 OH/nm²) and for two MFI zeolite with different Al contents (Si/Al=12.5 and 500). Silanol groups and Al sites (acid sites) gives the significant effect on the N₂ isotherms at submonolayer, but the Ar isotherms are independent of silanols and Al sites. The Ar isotherms, therefore, are preferable in calculation of microporosity of zeolites. The N₂ and Ar isotherms for MFI zeolite (Si/Al=500) have been measured at temperatures of 77–94 K, from which the differential adsorption energies of N₂ and Ar are calculated. The interaction of N₂ with channel surface of MFI zeolite is greater than that of Ar in the range of α _s =0.1–0.7. The hystereses are detected for the N₂ isotherm in p/p ^o=0.1–0.3 at 77.4 K and for the Ar isotherm in p/p ^o=3×10⁻⁴–2×10⁻³ at 87.3 K. However, it is difficult to explain the hysteresis phenomenon using differential adsorption energy.     

A new quick method of determining the group hydrocarbon composition of crude oils and oil heavy residues based on their oxidative distillation (cracking) as monitored by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry

A calorimetric-thermogravimetric method is described of determining mass percent contents of distillate fractions, paraffins, base oils, resins, asphaltenes and carbines in various crude oils. The method is based on recording DSC curves of a 10–15 mg sample heated in air in a calorimetric-cell at a rate of 40–50 °C/min. Additionally, weight loss of sample is found at temperatures before and after the reaction. At temperatures from 220 °C or higher distillation of the hydrocarbon mixture starts to be accompanied by its exothermic oxidation, thereby making possible monitoring the distillation (oxidation) of consecutive HC fractions by simple calorimetric-techniques. Differential scanning calorimeter “Thermodat” of high-calorimetric-resolution and sensitivity equipped with dedicated software was used for conducting the experiments and performing all the calculations. Percent contents of the main constituents in a number of heavy and light crude oils were determined and formulas for establishing paraffinic, base oil and coke-forming potentials of crude oils and oil residues derived. One full analysis of a sample takes no longer than 1.0–1.5 h. The method can be used for on-line quality control of various petroleum products, such as atmospheric and vacuum oil residues, cracking residues, lubricants, ceresins and paraffins.
