Hydrolysis study of organic acid anhydrides by differential thermal analysis-I Pyromellitic dianhydride

A technique for following the hydrolysis of pyromellitic acid dianhydride (PMDA) by differential thermal analysis (DTA) is described. On exposure of PMDA to moisture, an endothennic peak is initiated between 190 and 200 degrees . As the degree of hydrolysis increases, this peak becomes more intense and shifts to higher temperatures. The formation of pyromellitic acid (PMA) during the hydrolysis of PMDA can be determined qualitatively by DTA.     

ETUDE PAR RESONANCE PARAMAGNETIQUE ELECTRONIQUE DE LA PHOTOSENSIBILISATION DES ACIDES AMINES PAR LA PROFLAVINE

Abstract— –The photosensitization of amino acids by proflavine is studied using the technique of electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The analysis of the line shape as a function of the incident microwave power (both in the presence and absence of oxygen) and the dependence of the numbers of free radicals on the intensity of the incident light allow one to suggest that two types of radicals are formed. One is formed by a biphotonic process, the nature of the radicals being the same as in the case of ionising radiation, while the other is probably the RO₂ radical formed as a result of photodynamic action.     

A Popov-theory-based approach to digital H{infty} control with measurement feedback for Pritchard-Salamon systems

In this paper, we deal with the digital output-measurement-feedbackH control problem for Pritchard-Salamon infinite-dimensionalsystems with unbounded input and output operators. A discretePopov-theory-based solution is given in terms of the solvabilityof Kalman-Szegö-Popov-Yakubovitch systems associated withthe equivalent discrete-time time-invariant system obtainedby lifting the T-periodic continuous-time system.
