Rotational Hypersurfaces with Constant Gauss-Kronecker Curvature

The authors study rotational hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in Rⁿ. They solve the ODE associated with the generating curve of such hypersurface using integral expressions and obtain several geometric properties of such hypersurfaces. In particular, they discover a class of non-compact rotational hypersurfaces with constant and negative Gauss-Kronecker curvature and finite volume, which can be seen as the higher-dimensional generalization of the pseudo-sphere.     

On the classification of geometric codes by polynomial functions

It is shown how to represent algebraically all functions that have a zero sum on all -dimensional subspaces ofPG(n,q) or ofAG(n,q). In this way one can calculate the dimensions of related codes, or one can represent interesting sets of points by functions.     

Multiple separatrix crossing in multi-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian flows

Summary We study separatrix crossing in near-integrablek-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian flows, 2 <k < , whose unperturbed phase portraits contain separatrices inn degrees of freedom, 1 <n <k. Each of the unperturbed separatrices can be recast as a codimension-one separatrix in the 2k-dimensional phase space, and the collection of these separatrices takes on a variety of geometrical possibilities in the reduced representation of a Poincaré section on the energy surface. In general 0 l n of the separatrices will be available to the Poincaré section, and each separatrix may be completely isolated from all other separatrices or intersect transversely with one or more of the other available separatrices. For completely isolated separatrices, transitions across broken separatrices are described for each separatrix by the single-separatrix crossing theory of Wiggins, as modified by Beigie. For intersecting separatrices, a possible violation of a normal hyperbolicity condition complicates the analysis by preventing the use of a persistence and smoothness theory for compact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds and their local stable and unstable manifolds. For certain classes of multi-degree-of-freedom flows, however, a local persistence and smoothness result is straightforward, and we study the global implications of such a local result. In particular, we find codimension-one partial barriers and turnstile boundaries associated with each partially destroyed separatrix. From the collection of partial barriers and turnstiles follows a rich phase space partitioning and transport formalism to describe the dynamics amongst the various degrees of freedom. A generalization of Wiggins' higher-dimensional Melnikov theory to codimension-one surfaces in the multi-separatrix case allows one to uncover invariant manifold geometry. In the context of this perturbative analysis and detailed numerical computations, we study invariant manifold geometry, phase space partitioning, and phase space transport, with particular attention payed to the role of a vanishing frequency in the limit approaching the intersection of the partially destroyed separatrices. The class of flows under consideration includes flows of basic physical relevance, such as those describing scattering phenomena. The analysis is illustrated in the context of a detailed study of a 3-degree-of-freedom scattering problem.     

An Arithmetic Reduction of Finite Rank 3 Geometries with Linear Spaces as Plane Residues and with Dual Linear Spaces as Point Residues

Let be a rank three incidence geometry of points, lines and planes whose planes are linear spaces and whose point residues are dual linear spaces (notice that we do not require anything on the line residues). We assume that the residual linear spaces of belong to a natural class of finite linear spaces, namely those linear spaces whose full automorphism group acts flag-transitively and whose orders are polynomial functions of some prime number. This class consists of six families of linear spaces. In the amalgamation of two such linear spaces imposes an equality on their orders leading, in particular, to a series of diophantine equations, the solutions of which provide a reduction theorem on the possible amalgams of linear spaces that can occur in .We prove that one of the following holds (up to a permutation of the words point and plane):A) the planes of and the dual of the point residues belong to the same family and have the same orders,B) the diagram of is in one of six families,C) the diagram of belongs to a list of seven sporadic cases.Finally, we consider the particular case where the line residues of are generalized digons.     

Determination of heavy metal concentration in feed and permeate streams of polymer enhanced ultrafiltration process

Polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) is a newly developed method for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. This method was applied for the removal of mercury and cadmium with the presence of polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a water soluble polymer. After ultrafiltration experiments for metal–polymer mixtures, two separate streams, namely, retentate and permeate, former of which contains mainly metal–polymer complex and free polymer molecules while latter of which mainly contains free metal ions, were obtained. At the end of PEUF experiments, performance of operation was determined by concentration analyses which was achieved by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) applied in a different way for permeate and retentate streams considering the effect of presence of polymer. For mercury analysis, cold vapor AAS was applied. It was observed that the presence of PEI did not affect the atomic absorption signal when 10% HCl was added to the sample solutions. For calcium and cadmium, flame AAS was used. It was observed that change in PEI concentration results in change in measured concentration of calcium and cadmium. Therefore, two new approaches were developed for accurate measurement of concentrations of calcium and cadmium. It was also observed that presence of other metals did not affect the accuracy of the measurement of a particular metal in the concentration range studied.     

Neutron scattering study of pentanol solubilization in sodium octanoate micelles

We extend a previous small-angle neutron scattering study of sodium octanoate (NaC₈) micelles to the ternary system sodium octanoate/pentanol/water. The use of contrast variation through selective deuteration of individual components together with explicit computation of interference effects, permits us to deduce the location of pentanol (C₅OH) in the micelles. Our main conclusion is that, although the micelles grow as (C₅OH) is solubilised, there is no concomitant variation in the NaC₈ aggregation number. At low alcohol concentrations, the C₅OH is located near the NaC₈ polar heads, while at higher concentration the -OH groups are distributed throughout the micellar core.     

Pion absorption by16O using realistic interactions—II: Free pion absorption followed by emission of proton

Matrix element of the Gallilean invariant nonrelativistic reduction of the pseudoscalar-pseudovector interaction has been calculated for free pion absorption by a single nucleon inside the nucleus of¹⁶O. The Hartree-Fock wavefunctions obtained with the unitary-model-operator approach starting with the hard-core nucleon-nucleon interaction have been used for the π-capturing nucleon in the initial state. The initial pion distortion in the presence of nuclear field of the absorbing nucleus prior to its absorption together with the Coulomb interaction with the finite nuclear size has been taken into account. The distortion of the emitted proton in the field of the residual nucleus has also been considered. The differential cross-sections have been obtained and calculated results are compared with the previous experimental and theoretical work.     

Vacuum Ultraviolet Photolysis of Polyethylene,Polypropylene, and Polystyrene

Using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), quartz crystal microbalance (QMB) measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with chemical derivatization techniques the VUV photolysis of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) was investigated. A mass balance obtained from the quantification of the data was used to suggest reaction path ways. Although PE and PP behave similar, the mass loss is about 8 times higher in the case of PP. These differences originate from the higher disproportionation to recombination ratio for the branched polymer. Both polymers form double bonds and at extended treatment times they tend to crosslink. PS is rather stable due to the possibility of the energy dissipation by fluorescence.     

Extension of conjugation leading to bathochromic or hypsochromic effects in OPV series

Four OPV series 1-4 (a-d) with a terminal dialkylamino group as electron donor were prepared by Wittig-Horner reactions. To study the influence of the push-pull effect on the long-wavelength absorption, three of the four series contained terminal acceptor groups (CN, CHO, NO(2)). The length of the chromophores strongly affects the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-an effect which superimposes upon the extension of the conjugation. Increasing numbers n of repeat units cause an overall bathochromic shift for the purely donor-substituted series 1 a-4 a and the series 1 b-4 b with CN as weak acceptor. The two effects annihilate each other in the series 1 c-4 c with terminal CHO groups, so that the absorption maxima are almost independent of the length of the chromophore. A hypsochromic shift is observed for the series 1 d-4 d, which contains the strong acceptor group NO(2). This anomaly disappears on protonation of the dialkylamino group because the push-pull effect disappears in the ammonium salts. The results can be explained by semiempirical quantum mechanics (AM1, INDO/S). The HOMO-LUMO transition, which is mainly responsible for the ICT, becomes less important in the electron transitions S(0)-->S(1) when the distance between donor and acceptor is increased. The commonly used VB model, which contains an electroneutral and a zwitterionic resonance structure, is contrasted with a MO model with dipole segments at both ends of the OPV chains. The latter model turned out to be more appropriate-at least for donor-acceptor-substituted OPVs with n >/= 2.
