In this paper, we study generalized Douglas–Weyl(α, β)-metrics. Suppose that a regular(α, β)-metric F is not of Randers type. We prove that F is a generalized Douglas–Weyl metric with vanishing S-curvature if and only if it is a Berwald metric. Moreover, by ignoring the regularity, if F is not a Berwald metric, then we find a family of almost regular Finsler metrics which is not Douglas nor Weyl. As its application, we show that generalized Douglas–Weyl square metric or Matsumoto metric with isotropic mean Berwald curvature are Berwald metrics. 相似文献
In this study, multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was modified by the pyridine group using a silane agent and characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and elemental analysis (CHN) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The application of this sorbent was investigated in determination of lead ions in aqueous samples, using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Through this study, different parameters such as pH and sample flow rate on adsorption process and eluent concentration, volume and flow rate were optimized. The limit of detection (LOD), the relative standard deviation and the recovery of the method were 2 ng mL?1, 1.3% and 99.7%, respectively. Two standard reference materials (NIST 1571 and NIST 1572) were used to verify accuracy of this method. Finally, the sorbent was successfully applied for extraction and determination of low levels of Pb(II) ions in aqueous samples. 相似文献
In this study, lead sulphide (PbS) was prepared by the chemical bath deposition technique. The sample was characterized by
X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) and cyclic voltammetry. EDAX spectrum shows peaks attributable
to lead and sulphur. The EDAX analysis also shows that the prepared sample is stoichiometric. Cyclic voltammetry experiments
were recorded at 100 mV·s−1 and 400 mV·s−1 scan rates. Results show that the rate controlling electrochemical reaction is electron transfer. The presence of redox waves
shows that the lithium intercalation and deintercalation can occur as a result of lattice expansion in PbS. There were no
differences in the PbS XRD data before and after the cyclic voltammetry experiments indicating that the PbS structure is not
modified upon lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation in PbS. The discharge characteristics for 35 cycles of the cell
using the LiCoO2/PbS couple is presented indicating the possible development of such materials as anode in lithium ion cells. 相似文献
Using two different types of the laddering equations realized simultaneously by the associated Gegenbauer functions, we show that all quantum states corresponding to the motion of a free particle on AdS2 and S2 are splitted into infinite direct sums of infinite-and finite-dimensional Hilbert subspaces which represent Lie algebras u(1, 1) and u(2) with infinite- and finite-fold degeneracies, respectively. In addition, it is shown that the representation bases of Lie algebras with rank 1, i.e., gl(2, C), realize the representation of nonunitary parasupersymmetry algebra of arbitrary order. The realization of the representation of parasupersymmetry algebra by the Hilbert subspaces which describe the motion of a free particle on AdS2 and S2 with the dynamical symmetry groups U(1, 1) and U(2) are concluded as well. 相似文献
Understanding the behaviour of short-chain hydrocarbons confined to porous solids informs the targeted extraction of natural resources from geological features, and underpins rational developments in separation, storage and catalytic conversion processes. Herein, we report the application of low-field (12.7 MHz) 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation measurements to characterise ethane dynamics within mesoporous silica materials exhibiting mean pore diameters between 6 and 50 nm. Our measurements provide NMR-based adsorption isotherms within the range 25–50 bar and at ambient temperature, incorporating the ethane condensation point (40.7 bar at our experimental temperature of 23.6 °C). The quantitative nature of the acquired data is validated via a direct comparison of NMR-derived excess adsorption capacities with ex situ gravimetric ethane adsorption measurements, which are demonstrated to agree to within 0.2 mmol g−1 of the observed ethane capacity. NMR relaxation time distributions are further demonstrated as a means to decouple interparticle and mesopore dominated adsorption phenomena, with unexpectedly rapid relaxation rates associated with interparticle ethane gas confirmed via a direct comparison with NMR self-diffusion analysis. 相似文献
The magnesium and calcium salts of acrylic acid have been polymerised in aqueous solution using ammonium persulphate as initiator. Both polymers were also prepared by the neutralisation of poly(acrylic acid) with metal oxide in the same medium.
The thermal degradation behaviour of magnesium and calcium polyacrylate was studied using thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermal volatilisation analysis (TVA). Degradation products were investigated by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and GC-MS techniques, the volatile product fraction having first been separated by subambient TVA.
The decompositions of these materials show some similarities to the behaviour of the alkali metal salts of poly(acrylic acid) and to that of the alkaline earth metal salts of poly(methacrylic acid), but there are also important differences. Acetone and carbon dioxide are the most important volatile products and, in addition, there are various other carbonyl containing products. More carbon dioxide, resulting from side group scission, is evolved from magnesium polyacrylate than from calcium polyacrylate, because of the lower thermal stability of magnesium carbonate. 相似文献
The hydrodistilled oils from the aerial parts of Ferula latisecta and Mozaffariania insignis, which is endemic to Iran, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. (Z)-Ocimenone (32.4%), (E)-ocimenone (20.3%), and cis-pinocarvone (11.4%) were the main components among the 22 constituents characterized in the oil of F. latisecta, representing 87.7% of the total components detected. Twenty-five compounds were identified in the oil of M. insignis, representing 99.0% of the total oil, with octyl acetate (41.1%), β-pinene (30.3%), and α-pinene (23.9%) as the main constituents. The essential oils were examined for their potential antimicrobial activities.

Murty in a recent paper has shown that the computational effort required to solve a linear complementarity problem (LCP), by either of the two well known complementary pivot methods is not bounded above by a polynomial in the size of the problem. In that paper, by constructing a class of LCPs—one of ordern forn 2—he has shown that to solve the problem of ordern, either of the two methods goes through 2n pivot steps before termination.However that paper leaves it as an open question to show whether or not the same property holds if the matrix,M, in the LCP is positive definite and symmetric. The class of LCPs in whichM is positive definite and symmetric is of particular interest because of the special structure of the problems, and also because they appear in many practical applications.In this paper, we study the computational growth of each of the two methods to solve the LCP, (q, M), whenM is positive definite and symmetric and obtain similar results.This research is partially supported by Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Number AFOSR-78-3646.
