The spin dynamics of the one-dimensional ~1D! magnet Na2MnF5 have been investigated by inelastic neutron scattering. Measurements of the spin-wave dispersion resulted in values of the exchange constant J/kB528.5(1) K and the anisotropy constant D/kB522.70(2) K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the magnetic correlation length showed significant deviations from the Heisenberg/ Fischer ...

Four enantiomerically pure stereoisomers of rosaprostol (1), an antiulcer drug, were efficiently synthesized from the enantiomers of 2-(dimethoxyphosphoryl)-3-hexylcyclopentanone (3) as chiral substrates. The latter were obtained by resolution of racemic 3 with (+)-(R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine. The conversion of (+)-3 into rosaprostol stereoisomer (-)-1a was accomplished in four steps in 56% ov...

An inversion code has been constructed using Matlab, to recover 1D parameters of the Cole–Cole model from spectral induced polarization data. In a spectral induced polarization survey, impedances are recorded at various frequencies. Both induced polarization and electromagnetic coupling effects occur simultaneously over the experimental frequency bandwidth, and these become progressively more d...

The present work aims at examining the association of nighttime temperature inversions and synoptic-scale circulation in the Athens basin. Temperature inversions have a direct impact in the diffusion and transport of pollutants, a fact that highlights the importance of investigating their cause effect relationship. For this purpose, randiosonde measurements from the upper-air station in Hellini...

The Cin recombinase is known to mediate DNA inversion between two wild-type cix sites flanking genetic determinants for the host range of bacteriophage P1. Cin can also act with low frequency at secondary (or quasi) sites (designated cixQ) that have lower homology to either wild-type site. An inversion tester sequence able to reveal novel operon fusions was integrated into the Escherichia coli ...

The Controlled Source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) is a geophysical method utilizing artificial electromagnetic signal source to estimate subsurface resistivity structures. One-dimensional (1D) inversion modelling of CSAMT data non-linear and the solution can be estimated by using global optimization algorithms. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) are well-kn...

Knowing the best 1Dmodel of the crustal and uppermantle structure is useful not only for routine hypocenter determination, but also for linearized joint inversions of hypocenters and 3D crustal structure, where a good choiceof the initialmodel canbevery important.Here,we tested thecombinationof a simpleGA inversionwith the widely used HYPO71 program to find the best three-layer model (upper cru...

Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...

Inversion of potential-field data involve large and dense coefficient matrices that often exceed the limitations of physical memory in commonly available computers. The repeated multiplications of such matrices to vectors during inversion require an immense amount of CPU power. These two factors pose a significant challenge to solving large-scale problems in practice and can render many realist...

Among the most popular methods to measure dust density in a laboratory setup are 1D extinction, Abel inversion for circularly symmetric geometries, and computer tomography (CT) arbitrary geometries. We present new method based on extinction measurement correlation with video taken at an acute angle. It works well limited optical access has good time resolution (at least several hertz). measures...
