The first series of complexes of niobium(V) oxide trifluoride, [NbOF3(OPR3)2] (R = Me or Ph), [NbOF3(dppmO2)] (dppmO2 = Ph2P(O)CH2P(O)Ph2), [NbOF3(dmso)2], [NbOF3(tmeda)] (tmeda = Me2N(CH2)2NMe2) and [NbOF3(diimine)] (diimine = 2,2’-bipy, 1,10-phen) have been prepared, either by reaction of the corresponding complexes of NbF5 and hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) in CH2Cl2–MeCN solution, or directly...

Consider a given pattern H and a random text T of length n. We assume that symbols in the text occur independently, and various symbols have different probabilities of occurrence (l.e., the so called asymmetric Bernoulli modeQ. We are concerned with the probability of exactly T occurrences of H in the text T. We derive the generating function of this probability, and show that asymptotically it...

Twenty five fungal strains were isolated from soil of Similipal Bioreserve Forest and screened for pectinase and cellulase activity. Aspergillus sp. was found to be predominant in the sample. Out of which, Aspergillus niger and A. flavus showed high cellulolytic and pectinolytic activity having potency index of 4.5 for IFcel and 4.1 for IFpect, respectively. Parameters like pH and temperature w...

A polynomial Pythagorean–hodograph (PH) curve r(t) = (x1(t), . . . , xn(t)) in R n is characterized by the property that its derivative components satisfy the Pythagorean condition x′2 1 (t)+ · · ·+x ′2 n (t) = σ 2(t) for some polynomial σ(t), ensuring that the arc length s(t) = ∫ σ(t) dt is simply a polynomial in the curve parameter t. PH curves have thus far been extensively studied in R2 and...
