nvolutorial Płonka sums

The construction of the sum of a direct (semilattice ordered) system of algebras introduced by J. Plonka – later known as the Plonka sum – is one of the most important methods of composition in universal algebra, having a number of applications in different algebraic theories, such as semigroup theory, semiring theory, etc. In this paper we present a more general way for constructing algebras with involution, that is, algebraic systems equipped with a unary involutorial operation which is at the same time an antiautomorphism of the underlying algebra. It is the sum – involutorial Plonka sum, as we call it – of an involution semilattice ordered system of algebras. We investigate its basic properties, as well as the problem of its subdirect decomposition.     

Calculation of Systematic Errors in Determining Light‐Scattering Matrix Elements

We consider systematic errors in determining lightscattering matrix elements by a device in which the polarization properties of probing radiation change depending on different angular positionings of the principal directions of the first phase plate, and we perform polarization analysis of scattered radiation using the Fourier expansion of the signal from a photodetector that records the intensity of radiation passed through the rotating second phase plate and a stationary analyzer. Formulas estimating the errors arising in separate deviation of the axes of the anisotropic optical elements in the illuminating and lightreceiving channels of the measuring device were derived. Using the method of mathematical simulation, we consider the combined influence of various inaccuracies in positioning anisotropic elements.     

On Connectedness via Closure Operators

This paper describes a convenient modification of the approach presented in the paper Closure operators and connectedness by G. Castellini and D. Hajek, which is shown to give a suitable generalization of left- and right-constant subcategories, both at the object and the morphism levels. We show in particular that the framework we introduce here allows the simultaneous study of the classes of connected topological spaces, of concordant continuous maps and of monotone continuous maps.     

First Alexandroff Decomposition Theorem for Topological Lattice Group Valued Measures

Let (X, F) be an Alexandroff space, let A(F) be the Boolean subalgebra of 2 ^X generated by F, let G be a Hausdorff commutative topological lattice group and let rba_F(A(F), G) denote the set of all order bounded F-inner regular finitely additive set functions from A(F) into G. Using some special properties of the elements of rba_F(A(F), G), we extend to this setting the first decomposition theorem of Alexandroff.

利用SHML模型计算了密度为ρ=1g·cm-3、温度为150eV、200eV、250eV、300eV、400eV的Sn等离子体的随光子能量变化的辐射不透明度及Rosseland平均不透明度.分析了不透明度随光子能量变化曲线的吸收峰值(不透明度峰值)与能级跃迁的对应关系.还将Sn的Rosseland平均不透明度与DCA/UTA及STA模型计算结果作了比较,吻合较好.     

Nuclear Physics in Norway, 1933–1955

In the late 1940s and the 1950s, Norwegian nuclear scientists, engineers, and administrators were deeply split over their nation’s goals, organization, politics, and tools for research in nuclear physics. One faction was determined to build a nuclear reactor in Norway, while another fiercely opposed the reactor plans and focused on particle accelerators. The first faction comprised scientific entrepreneurs and research technologists, the second academic scientists, most of whom began their research careers in nuclear physics in the 1930s. To understand this conflict, I trace the development of nuclear research in Norway from the early 1930s to the mid-1950s, placing it within an international context. Roland Wittje is working on his habilitation thesis in the History of Science Unit at the University of Regensburg, Germany.
