On the decidability of the word problem for amalgamated free products of inverse semigroups

We study inverse semigroup amalgams [S ₁,S ₂;U], where S ₁ and S ₂ are finitely presented inverse semigroups with decidable word problem and U is an inverse semigroup with decidable membership problem in S ₁ and S ₂. We use a modified version of Bennett’s work on the structure of Schützenberger graphs of the ℛ-classes of S ₁* _U S ₂ to state sufficient conditions for the amalgamated free products S ₁* _U S ₂ having decidable word problem.     

A preliminary study of particle velocity during phonation in an in vivo canine model

The particle velocity across the glottis was measured with simultaneous electroglottography, photoglottography, and subglottic pressure in an in vivo canine model of phonation. A constant temperature anemometer measured flow velocity at five midline anterior to posterior glottal positions. Tracheal input air flow was varied in five steps from 175 to 500 cc/s, while vocal fold approximation was achieved by constant electrical stimulation of the laryngeal nerves. For all levels of air flow, a decreasing peak velocity gradient was observed from the anterior commissure to the arytenoids. Time-varying features of the flow velocity are discussed in relation to glottal vibratory events and aerodynamics.     

Every compact group arises as the outer automorphism group of a II1 factor

We show that any compact group can be realized as the outer automorphism group of a factor of type II₁. This has been proved in the abelian case by Ioana, Peterson and Popa [A. Ioana, J. Peterson, S. Popa, Amalgamated free products of w-rigid factors and calculation of their symmetry group, math.OA/0505589, Acta Math., in press] applying Popa's deformation/rigidity techniques to amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras. Our methods are a generalization of theirs.     

Organocatalysed three-component domino synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines under solvent free conditions

An organocatalysed protocol for one-pot synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines via three-component coupling of cinnamaldehyde, aniline and β-keto esters under solvent free conditions at ambient temperature is reported. The reaction is generally very fast and the products are obtained in high yield. The catalytic activity of small organic molecules like amino acids (acidic, basic and neutral), ephedrine and cinchona alkaloids was studied.     

Monolayer and multilayer compact film formations on different substrates by physical deposition

Dissipative particle dynamics simulations are applied to investigate the monolayer and multilayer film formations on different solid substrates by physical deposition. The influences of the polymer concentration, the polymer chain length, the solvent quality, and the interactions between the polymer solution and the solid substrate surface on the film formation dynamics and the mechanism are studied in detail. The results are analyzed in terms of the thickness and the shape of the deposited film, the kinetics of phase separation in the polymer solution, and the contact angle formed between the polymer aggregations and the substrate surface. Moreover, we suggest two strategies, designing a deposition process analogous to “chemical titration” and physically blocking interlayer diffusion by a simple crosslinked network barrier, to deposit the compact monolayer and multilayer films with better quality, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of Band Structure Parameters and the Quasi‐Particle Gap of CdSe Quantum Dots by Cyclic Voltammetry

Band structure parameters such as the conduction band edge, the valence band edge and the quasi‐particle gap of diffusing CdSe quantum dots (Q‐dots) of various sizes were determined using cyclic voltammetry. These parameters are strongly dependent on the size of the Q‐dots. The results obtained from voltammetric measurements are compared to spectroscopic and theoretical data. The fit obtained to the reported calculations based on the semi‐empirical pseudopotential method (SEPM)—especially in the strong size‐confinement region, is the best reported so far, according to our knowledge. For the smallest CdSe Q‐dots, the difference between the quasi‐particle gap and the optical band gap gives the electron–hole Coulombic interaction energy (J_e1,h1). Interband states seen in the photoluminescence spectra were verified with cyclic voltammetry measurements.     

High-temperature hysteresis and magnetization reversal in nanocomposite FeCo+MnO

The hysteretic behavior of mechanically alloyed nanocomposites FeCo+MnO was studied at high temperatures. These composites present an unusual high and thermally stable coercivity, compared to FeCo milled at equal conditions. Coercivity enhancement was observed in hysteresis loops obtained between room temperature and 750 K. It is attributed to the isolation of the FeCo ferromagnetic particles by the paramagnetic MnO (T_N=120 K). The M_rev(M_irr)_H curves are clearly linear for the composite, indicating that coherent rotation is the reversal mechanism in these materials.     

Sonochemical immobilization of silver nanoparticles on porous polypropylene

Silver nanoparticles were immobilized on the surface of polypropylene (PP) porous beads by an ultrasound‐assisted reduction method. The structure and properties of the silver–PP composite were characterized with XRD, TEM, HRSEM, EDX, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy. Water‐soluble polymers such as PEG, PVA, and PVP were used as stabilizing agents for preventing the agglomeration of the silver nanoparticles. With PVP, a homogeneous distribution of silver nanocrystals, 50 nm in size, on the PP surface was achieved. The mechanism proposed for the silver anchoring to the inert polymer accounts for a localized melting of the PP. The beads of the silver PP composite demonstrated good stability and high antibacterial activity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 1719–1729, 2008
