SAX J1808.4-3658 has a 2.5 millisecond neutron star rotation period and exhibits X-ray pulsations due to its rotating hot spot. Here we present an analysis of the pulse shapes of SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 1998 outburst. The modeling of the pulse shape includes several effects, including gravitational light-bending, doppler effects and two spectral components with different emissivity. In addi...

A simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines C=N bond. Deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚C. The salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...
