Synthesis and photochromic properties of novel yellow developing photochromic compounds

Two 1-thiazolyl-2-thienylcyclopentene derivatives, 1a and 2a, and a 1-thiazolyl-2-vinylcyclopentene derivative 3a have been synthesized in an attempt to obtain photochromic compounds which change the color from colorless to yellow, and have low photocycloreversion quantum yields and high absorption coefficients of the colored isomers. All of these compounds underwent reversible photochromic reactions. Compounds 1a and 2a in toluene solutions changed the color upon 313 nm light irradiation from colorless to orange and pink, in which absorption maxima were observed at 494 nm (ε=10,000 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹) and 525 nm (ε=8500 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹), respectively. On the other hand, the colorless toluene solution of 3a turned yellow upon irradiation with 313 nm light, in which the absorption maximum was observed at 416 nm (ε=17,100 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹). The photocyclization/cycloreversion quantum yields of 3 were 0.19 and 0.0014, respectively. The conversion from the open- to the closed-ring isomer of 3 in the photostationary state under irradiation with 313 nm light was close to 100%.     

On solving sparse band systems with three algorithms of the ABS family

In this paper, we examine three algorithms in the ABS family and consider their storage requirements on sparse band systems. It is shown that, when using the implicit Cholesky algorithm on a band matrix with band width 2q+1, onlyq additional vectors are required. Indeed, for any matrix with upper band widthq, onlyq additional vectors are needed. More generally, ifa _kj 0,j>k, then thejth row ofH _i is effectively nonzero ifj>i>k. The arithmetic operations involved in solving a band matrix by this method are dominated by (1/2)n ² q. Special results are obtained forq-band tridiagonal matrices and cyclic band matrices.The implicit Cholesky algorithm may require pivoting if the matrixA does not possess positive-definite principal minors, so two further algorithms were considered that do not require this property. When using the implicit QR algorithm, a matrix with band widthq needs at most 2q additional vectors. Similar results forq-band tridiagonal matrices and cyclic band matrices are obtained.For the symmetric Huang algorithm, a matrix with band widthq requiresq–1 additional vectors. The storage required forq-band tridiagonal matrices and cyclic band matrices are again analyzed.This work was undertaken during the visit of Dr. J. Abaffy to Hatfield Polytechnic, sponsored by SERC Grant No. GR/E-07760.     

Reachable and controllable sets for two-dimensional,linear, discrete-time systems

We consider two-dimensional discrete-time linear systems with constrained controls. We propose a simple polynomial time procedure to give an exact external representation of theN-step reachable set and controllable set. The bounding hyperplanes are explicitly derived in terms of the data of the problem. By using a result in computational geometry, all the calculations are made in polynomial time in contrast to classical methods. The limit case asN is also investigated.     

Coulomb scattering of an electron by a monopole

The Coulomb scattering of an electron by a magnetic monopole is analyzed using a lowest-order quantum perturbation approximation suggested by a two-potential Lagrangian form for classical electromagnetism, generalized through the use of spacetime algebra to include magnetic monopoles. Good agreement with existing conventional analyses of this problem is demonstrated.1. Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-76SF00515.2. The idea to employ spacetime algebra (sometimes called Dirac algebra) to incorporate magnetic monopoles into classical electromagnetic theory was proposed by de Faria-Rosaet al. [3].3. This is a factori difference between the definition of 5 by Eq. (3) and that by Bjorken and Drell [6]. Since a cross section (without interference terms) is being calculated, we can ignore this distinction.     

Multicolor particle systems with large threshold and range

In this paper we consider the Greenberg-Hastings and cyclic color models. These models exhibit (at least) three different types of behavior. Depending on the number of colors and the size of two parameters called the threshold and range, the Greenberg-Hastings model either dies out, or has equilibria that consist of debris or fire fronts. The phase diagram for the cyclic color models is more complicated. The main result of this paper, Theorem 1, proves that the debris phase exists for both systems.     

Classification of extensions of torus algebra II

We use extension theory and algebraic methods to give a complete characterization of extensions of torus algebra by stable Cuntz algebras,and prove certain classification theorems of these extension algebras.     

Unital affine semigroups

Affine semigroups are convex sets on which there exists an associative binary operation which is affine separately in either variable. They were introduced by Cohen and Collins in 1959. We look at examples of affine semigroups which are of interest to matrix and operator theory and we prove some new results on the extreme points and the absorbing elements of certain types of affine semigroups. Most notably we improve a result of Wendel that every invertible element in a compact affine semigroup is extreme by extending this result to linearly bounded affine semigroups.     

In vivo lifetimes of the three color-sectors in bioluminescence emissions of the firefly Luciola praeusta at different temperatures

Bioluminescence emissions from fireflies have been well-studied for over a century. From the apparent features of the emitted light, conclusions have been drawn and hypotheses put forward on the characteristics of the highly efficient light emitting system. The basic emitter oxyluciferin, being chemically unstable, is difficult to study in isolation and, therefore, its analogs have been prepared and analyzed. In this letter, the lifetimes of the excited-state emitter oxyluciferin are measured, and an inference is drawn on the chemiluminescence reaction in vivo. The light from the Indian species of firefly Luciola praeusta contains three color-sectors: green, yellow, and red, and hence three optical filters are used to study time-resolved emissions from these sectors at different temperatures. All the three color-sectors are observed to be temperature sensitive in the time domain. An exponential variation of lifetime with temperature is observed for the emissions in these three regions.
