The preparation of polymer membrane selective to Iron(II) ion and its application to ion-selectiveelectrode is reported here. PVC membrane contains Iron–selective N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 asionophore. The membrane electrode is highly selective to Iron(II) ion and exhibit good linearresponse over a wide concentration range of 1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-6 M with Nernstian slope of29.2 ± 0.6 mV per deca...

The crystal structure of masutomilite from Tanakamiyama, Ohtsu, Japan, has been refined by the X-ray single crystal method. The chemical formula is (K,.79 Na0-15 Rbo.,4)2.o8 (Li2,'4 Mn~~.. Fe~~18 Fe;~06 Al,.go Tio.o')5.74 (Si6.65 Al",,)8.o0 0'..64 (F'.'6 (OH)'.20)4.36 and the crystal data are as follows: monoclinic, C2, a = 5.262(2), b = 9.102(3), c = 10.094(3)A, i3 = 100.83(2t, Z = 1. The fina...

This note studies the behavior of Euler characteristics and of intersection homology Euler characterstics under proper morphisms of algebraic (or analytic) varieties. The methods also yield, for algebraic (or analytic) varieties, formulae comparing these two kinds of Euler characteristics. The main results are direct consequences of the calculus of constructible functions and Grothendieck group...

Billey, Jockusch, and Stanley characterized 321-avoiding permutations by a property of their reduced decompositions. This paper generalizes that result with a detailed study of permutations via their reduced decompositions and the notion of pattern containment. These techniques are used to prove a new characterization of vexillary permutations in terms of their principal dual order ideals in a ...

We consider the class of curves of finite total curvature, as introduced by Milnor. This is a natural class for variational problems and geometric knot theory, and since it includes both smooth and polygonal curves, its study shows us connections between discrete and differential geometry. To explore these ideas, we consider theorems of Fáry/Milnor, Schur, Chakerian and Wienholtz. Here we intro...

This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64. In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of surfaces with high number of lines. We obtain in particular a symmetric octic with 352 lines. Cubic surface with 27 lines

Hu, Kriz and May recently reexamined ideas implicit in Priddy's elegant homotopy theoretic construction of the Brown-Peterson spectrum at a prime p. They discussed May's notions of nuclear complexes and of cores of spaces, spectra, and commutative S-algebras. Their most striking conclusions, due to Hu and Kriz, were negative: cores are not unique up to equivalence, and BP is not a core of M U c...

Let A be a commutative ring, B a commutative A-algebra and M a complex of B-modules. We begin by constructing the square SqB/A M , which is also a complex of B-modules. The squaring operation is a quadratic functor, and its construction requires differential graded (DG) algebras. If there exists an isomorphism ρ : M ≃ −→ SqB/A M then the pair (M,ρ) is called a rigid complex over B relative to A...
