Relative K-homology and K-homology of an ideal

We provide a straightforward proof of one of the main results of the Baum-Douglas K-homology theory: If A is a separable nuclear C ^*-algebra and I an ideal of A, then the natural restriction map K ⁰(A, I) K ⁰(I) is an isomorphism of Abelian groups.     

Etude Experimentale et Modelisation des Equilibres Solide—Liquide du Systeme Binaire H2O—UO2(NO3)2

The binary system H₂O—UO₂(NO₃)₂ was studied by solubility measurements and constant heat flow thermal analysis. Temperature and composition of the eutectic transformation between ice and uranyl nitrate hexahydrate were accurately defined. A new hydrate with 24 molecules of water decomposes at –21°C according to the peritectoid reaction<UO₂(NO₃)₂·24H₂O> <UO₂(NO₃)₂·6H₂O> + 18<H₂O>The quasi-ideal model was applied to the solid—liquid equilibria, using the following reaction hypothesis:((UO ₂ ²⁺ )) + 2((NO ₃ ^– ))+ h((H₂O)) ((UO₂OH⁺aq)) + ((H₃O⁺aq + 2((NO ₃ ^– aq))A complete calculation of the binary system was carried out with a global ionic hydration number h equal to 9 in the aqueous solutions. It allowed to the melting enthalpies of uranyl nitrate hydrates.

An investigation of glasses for capillary chromatography

An investigation was conducted of various glasses, other than soda lime or borosilicate, for use in glass capillary gas chromatography. The work has uncovered some unique chromatographic qualities in the use of potash soda lead and fused silica glasses as materials for making glass capillary columns. The fused silica proved to be an ideal material for capillary column construction, being inherently more inert than glass containing metal oxides. It has been shown that through the use of thin wall capillary tubing of high flexibility many of the mechanical problems associated with glass capillary columns, such as fragility and column straightening, can be avoided.     

Back-and-forth shooting method for solving two-point boundary-value problems

The paper proposes a special iterative method for a nonlinear TPBVP of the form (t)=f(t, x(t),p(t)), (t)=g(t, x(t),p(t)), subject toh(x(0),p(0))=0,e(x(T),p(T))=0. Certain stability properties of the above differential equations are taken into consideration in the method, so that the integration directions associated with these equations respectively are opposite to each other, in contrast with the conventional shooting methods. Via an embedding and a Riccati-type transformation, the TPBVP is reduced to consecutive initial-value problems of ordinary differential equations. A preliminary numerical test is given by a simple example originating in an optimal control problem.

Knockout reaction mechanism studied by ~6He projectile

Knockout reaction experiment was carried out by using the 6He beams at 61.2 MeV/u impinging on a CH2 target. The α core fragments at forward angles were detected in coincidence with the recoiled protons at larger angles. From this exclusive meas urement the valence nucleon knockout mechanism and the core knockout mechanism can be distinguished by the relation be tween the polar angles of the core fragments and the recoiled protons, respectively. It is demonstrated that the core knockout mechanism may result...     

Cohen and multiple Cohen strongly summing multilinear operators

Considering the successful theory of multiple summing multilinear operators as a prototype, we introduce the classes of multiple Cohen strongly p-summing multilinear operators and polynomials. The adequacy of these classes under the viewpoint of the theory of multilinear and polynomial ideals and holomorphy types is discussed in detail.     

Propagation of a pre-existing turbulent fluid fracture

The propagation of rough and smooth wall pre-existing turbulent fluid fractures is investigated. The laminar fluid fracture is included as a special case for comparison. Lubrication theory is assumed to apply in the fracture and turbulence is introduced through the wall shear stress. The Perkins–Kern–Nordgren approximation is made in which the fluid pressure is proportional to the half-width of the fracture. The fracture half-width satisfies a non-linear diffusion equation. By using a linear combination of the Lie point symmetries of the non-linear diffusion equation a group invariant solution for the fracture length, volume and half-width is derived. The evolution of the length, half-width and mean flow velocity is analysed for a range of working conditions at the fracture entry. It is found that the mean flow velocity increases approximately linearly along the fracture.     

Dimension polynomials of difference local algebras

We extend the concept of the difference dimension polynomial of a difference field extension to difference local algebras. The main theorem of the paper establishes the existence and form of the dimension polynomial associated with the localization of a finitely generated well-mixed difference algebra at a prime reflexive difference ideal.
