Preparation of polysiloxane stationary phases for capillary column chromatography: A New methoxyphenyl phase

Contemporary methods for the synthesis of alkyl- and arylsubstituted polysiloxane stationary phases are reviewed. A new, moderately polar phase containing the 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-propyl group is reported.     

Cyclocarbonylation of unsaturated tosylates as a method of cyclanone synthesis

A study has been made to determine the scope of the cyclocarbonylation reaction of olefinic tosylates with Na₂Fe(CO)₄.     

On the problem of periodicity and hidden solitons for the KdV model

In continuum limit, the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice is modeled by a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. It is shown that the long-time behavior of a KdV soliton train emerging from a harmonic excitation has a regular periodicity of right- and left-going trajectories. In a soliton train not all the solitons are visible, the solitons with smaller amplitude are hidden and their influence is seen through the changes of phase shifts of larger solitons. In the case of an external harmonic force several resonance schemes are revealed where both visible and hidden solitons have important roles. The weak, moderate, strong, and dominating fields are distinguished and the corresponding solution types presented.
