Application of differential electrolytic potentiometry for detection in flow injection analysis

The applicability of differential electrolytic potentiometry as a detection system in flow injection analysis is investigated. A computer-controlled injector which delivers precise volumes of sample solutions in a reproducible manner was developed. Conditions such as current density employed, the concentrations of the solutions used and the flow rate were optimized. Chloride in water was determined by means of this system. The relation between chloride concentration and the measured signal was found to be Nernstian for solutions of concentrations above 6 μg ml⁻¹ chloride. For solutions below this concentration, the relation is linear.     

Non existence de solutions globales de certaines équations d'ondes non linéairesNonexistence of global solutions to some nonlinear wave equations

We study the semilinear wave equation u_tt?Δu=p^?k|u|^m in $\text{R}\text{×}\text{R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$, where p is a conformal factor approaching 0 at infinity. We prove that the solutions blow-up in finite time for small powers m, while having an arbitrarily long life-span for large m. Furthermore, we study the finite time blow-up of solutions for the class of quasilinear wave equations u_tt?Δu=p^?k|Lu|^m in $\text{R}\text{×}\text{R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$. To cite this article: M.

Equivalences of comodule categories for coalgebras over rings

In this article we defined and studied quasi-finite comodules, the cohom functors for coalgebras over rings. Linear functors between categories of comodules are also investigated and it is proved that good enough linear functors are nothing but a cotensor functor. Our main result of this work characterizes equivalences between comodule categories generalizing the Morita-Takeuchi theory to coalgebras over rings. Morita-Takeuchi contexts in our setting is defined and investigated, a correspondence between strict Morita-Takeuchi contexts and equivalences of comodule categories over the involved coalgebras is obtained. Finally, we proved that for coalgebras over QF-rings Takeuchi's representation of the cohom functor is also valid.
