The equations of a holomorphic subspace in a complex Finsler space

In [Mu1] we underlined the motifs of holomorphic subspaces in a complex Finsler space: induced nonlinear connection, coupling connections, and the induced tangent and normal connections. In the present paper we investigate the equations of Gauss, H-and A-Codazzi, and Ricci equations of a holomorphic subspace. We deduce the link between the holomorphic curvatures of the Chern-Finsler connection and its induced tangent connection. Conditions for totally geodesic holomorphic subspaces are obtained.

Photometrisehe Bestimmung des Anthracens und einiger seiner Abk?mmlinge

Zusammenfassung Durch Reduktion des 1,5-Dinitroanthrachinons mit Formaldehyd in warmer alkalischer Lösung und folgende Extraktion des 1,5-Diaminoanthrachinons mit Amylalkohol werden rötlich-orange gefärbte Lösungen mit einem Absorptionsmaximum bei 500 nm erhalten. Die Farbe bleibt Monate hindurch beständig. Die Reaktion ist auch zur Bestimmung von Anthracen und Anthrachinon verwendbar. Diese löst man in Mischsäure, neutralisiert und extrahiert mit Äther. Die isomeren Dinitroanthrachinone und andere sekundäre Produkte, welche entstehen könnten, beeinflussen die Linearität der Lichtabsorptionskurve als Funktion der vorhandenen Stoffmengen nicht merklich.Die Eichkurven für die Bestimmung von 1,5-Diaminoanthrachinon in amylalkoholischer Lösung bzw. die von 1,5-Dinitroanthrachinon, Anthrachinon und Anthracen, nach Umwandlung in 1,5-Diaminoanthrachinon, werden angegeben.

Summary By reduction of 1.5-dinitroanthraquinone with formaldehyde in warm alcaline solution, followed by the extraction of 1.5-diaminoanthraquinone with amyl alcohol, reddish-orange solutions are obtained, with an absorption maximum at 500 nm. Colour remains stable for several months. The reaction is applicable also to anthracene and anthraquinone, after dissolution in sulphuric-nitric acid, neutralisation and ether extraction. Isomeric diaminoanthraquinones as well as other secondary products induce no significant changes in the linearity of light absorption.Calibration curves for the determination of 1.5-dinitroanthraquinone, anthraquinone and anthracene, after conversion to diaminoanthraquinone, are presented.

     

Multiple solutions of boundary value problems: an elementary approach via the shooting method

In this paper we derive the existence of multiple solutions for boundary value problems of the type $$u\prime \prime + f\left( {t,u} \right) = 0,u\left( 0 \right) = 0,u\left( \pi \right) = 0$$ , in terms of the behaviour of the ratiof(t,u)/u nearu=0 and near infinity. The nonlinear termf is assumed to be locally Lipschitz inu, so that the shooting method can be used. (AMS Subject Classification: 34B15).     

Preparation and characterisation of thermoresponsive poly[(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide-co-(hydroxyethyl acrylate)] microspheres as a matrix for the pulsed release of drugs

Despite the large number of publications and patents concerning pH/thermoresponsive polymers, few data are available concerning the preparation of thermoresponsive cross-linked microspheres from preformed polymers. Therefore, N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide-co-(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) copolymers were obtained as a new thermoresponsive material with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) around 36 degrees C, in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, and with a cross-linkable OH group in their structure. The LCST value was determined both by UV spectroscopy and microcalorimetric analysis. These copolymers were solubilised in acidified aqueous solution below their LCST, dispersed in mineral oil, and transformed into stable microspheres by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The thermoresponsive microspheres were characterised by optical and scanning electron microscopy, degree of swelling, and water retention. The pore dimensions of the microspheres and the retention volumes of some drugs and typical compounds were evaluated at different temperatures by liquid chromatography. Indomethacin, as a model drug, was included in the microspheres by the solvent evaporation method. Finally, the influence of temperature and of temperature cycling on drug release was investigated.     

Photometrische Bestimmung von Kohlenmonoxyd in der Luft

Zusammenfassung Es wird ein photometrisches Verfahren der CO-Bestimmung beschrieben, das auf der Absorption des Gases in einer alkalischen Lösung der Silberverbindung der p-Sulfamidbenzoesäure beruht. Die Silberverbindung wird zu metallischem Silber reduziert, das in kolloider Verteilung bleibt. Die Extinktion dieses Silbersols wird gemessen. Sie ist unter den Bedingungen der Arbeitsvorschrift im Bereich von 0,001–0,5% CO der Konzentration des Kohlenmonoxyds proportional. Bei Wellenlängen unterhalb 500 m nimmt die Extinktion stark zu. Die Messungen werden deshalb zweckmäßig im kurzwelligen Licht durchgeführt. Mit Zeiss-Filter S 42 wird z. B. nahezu die doppelte Meßempfindlichkeit erreicht wie mit Filter S 50. Die Durchführung der CO-Bestimmung wird genau beschrieben.     

Nachweis von Anthracen und Anthrachinon neben einigen anderen aromatischen Verbindungen

Zusammenfassung Durch Oxydation und Nitrierung mit Mischsäure werden Anthracen und Anthrachinon in Dinitroanthrachinone überführt, die mit Formaldehyd und Natriumhydroxid zu roten Diaminen reduziert werden. Diese werden mit Amylalkohol extrahiert. Die Empfindlichkeit beträgt 2g. Die Färbung wird von Benzol und Homologen, Naphthalin, Phenanthren, Acenaphthen, Fluoren, Chrysen, Acridin und Phenolen, sowie von den im Kokereipech vorhandenen Verbindungen, nicht gegeben.

Summary Anthracene and anthraquinone are converted by oxidation and nitrification with nitric-sulphuric acid to dinitro anthraquinones which are reduced to red diamines by formaldehyde and sodium hydroxide. These are extracted by amyl alcohol. Sensitivity is 2g. Benzene and its homologues, naphthalene, phenanthrene, acenaphtene, fluorene, chrysene, acridine, phenols and compounds contained in pitch do not interfere with the colour reaction.

     

Model-based sensitivity analysis of a fluidised-bed bioreactor for mercury uptake by immobilised Pseudomonas putida cells

A model-based sensitivity analysis was performed in order to evaluate the importance of the individual operating parameters of a three-phase fluidised-bed biological reactor used for removing mercury ions from wastewater. The parameters analysed involve the immobilised biomass load (bacteria P. putida) on alginate beads, particle size, inlet flow-rate, mercury ion loads in the fed wastewater, and the solid fraction in the reactor. Predictions were generated by using pseudo-first-order, Michaelis-Menten, or pseudo-Haldane kinetic models. The results highlight the major influence of the biomass/solid load and of the liquid residence time on the reactor efficiency. Also, the resultant significant differences in the model predictions underline the importance of using a more accurate kinetic model for process design and control purposes.     

The Vapor-Liquid Polycondensation of Cyclohexylphosphoric Dichloride with Hydroquinone

The vapor-liquid polycondensation of cyclohexylphosphoric dichloride with hydroquinone was investigated. The influence of the temperature, reaction time, base concentration, and molar ratio of reagents on the yield, inherent viscosity, and molecular weight of the obtained polymer was studied. Second order, central, composite, rotatable experimental design was used in order to carry out this work and to mark limits of the experimental field for optimal yields and high inherent viscosities.
