First integrals for Finsler metrics with vanishing $$\chi $$ -curvature

Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry - We prove that in a Finsler manifold with vanishing $$\chi $$ -curvature (in particular with constant flag curvature) some non-Riemannian geometric...     

Spectrophotometric Study of Luminol in Dimethyl Sulfoxide–Potassium Hydroxide

The spectrophotometric study of luminol (LH₂) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), DMSO-water solutions, and alkaline DMSO and DMSO-water solutions has been done, focusing on the effect of the KOH additon on LH₂ absorption and fluorescence properties. The absorption spectra indicate an acid-base equilibrium, and the luminol dianion (L^2–) formation at 3 × 10^–4 – 2.4 × 10^–3 M KOH. The decrease of the fluorescence intensity and the variation of the excitation spectra of LH₂-DMSO-KOH solutions with KOH concentration have been similarly explained. The acid-base process is reversible. The addition of HCl to the solution with 3.0 × 10^–3 M KOH leads to an increase of the fluorescence intensity to its highest value, observed in pure DMSO. The addition of HCl to the LH₂-DMSO solution leads to the decrease of the fluorescence intensity as a result of the LH⁺ ₃ cation formation. In LH₂-DMSO-water, the fluorescence band is shifted from 405 nm to 424 nm and increased in the intensity. In the presence of KOH (in LH₂-DMSO-water-KOH solution) a new band appears, with the maximum at 485 nm and the band at 405 nm decreased. The changes in fluorescence lifetimes also evidence the different chemical species formed.     

Chemical isolation of element 106 from aqueous solutions according to model experiments with short-lived tungsten isotopes

The short-lived isotopes of W and their descendants have been isolated from the products of the bombardment of¹⁴⁴Sm with²⁴Mg by a fast continuous ion-exchange method, using HF solution media. The feasibility of this method for isolation of element 106 is discussed.     

Sum-fuzzy implementation of a choice function using artificial learning procedure with fixed fraction

In one if his paper Luo transformed the problem of sum-fuzzy rationality into artificial learning procedure and gave an algorithm which used the learning rule of perception. This paper extends the Luo method for finding a sum-fuzzy implementation of a choice function and offers an algorithm based on the artificial learning procedure with fixed fraction. We also present a concrete example which uses this algorithm.     

On Haar measurable additive maps on B(N)

Let B(N) be the power set of the set of natural numbers endowed with the usual structure of a compact abelian group and letμ be the normed Haar measure on it. The paper studies the properties ofμ-measurable additive maps of B(N) into Hausdorff abelian groups.     

EPR Study of some Copper(II) Coordination Compounds with substituted Biguanides. III

Copper(II) coordination compounds with p-chlorphenylbiguanide of the type: [Cu(Cl-PhBig)₂]X₂ and [Cu(Cl–PhBig)X₂] with X =Cl^?, Br^? NO₃, OH^?, NCS^?, NCO^?, N₃, have been studied by EPR spectroscopy using polycrytalline powders and solutions in DMF. The parameters of the EPR spectra have been used to estimate molecular orbital coefficient, in these compounds and to discuss details of the chemical bonding.     

Fast and continuous chemical isolation of short-lived isotopes of Hf,Ta and W as homologs of elements 104, 105 and 106

Some short-lived isotopes of Hf, Ta and W, synthesized at the U-400 cyclotron of JINR-Dubna, have been isolated using a previously elaborated fast continuous method of chemical isolation of element 104 from nuclear reaction products. The products were transported by a NaCl aerosol jet, from the irradiated targets to a separation device in which Hf, Ta and W were isolated by using three coupled ion-exchange columns.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of N2-(N-Acetyl-6-O-stearoyl-α-D-muramoyl)-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine

Title compound 1 was synthesized by a published route which had to be modified (seven steps from readily obtainable starting materials). Characterization of 1 was achieved by spectroscopic means (FAB-MS, ¹H-NMR, including 2D-COSY). Furthermore, commercially available reference material purchased for comparison, was unequivocally established to be 10 , i.e. incompletely deprotected 1 .
