We review recent progress in the study of varying constants and attempts to explain the observed values of the fundamental physical constants. We describe the variation of G in Newtonian and relativistic scalar-tensor gravity theories. We highlight the behaviour of the isotropic Friedmann solutions and consider some striking features of primordial black hole formation and evaporation if G varie...

The charge-transfer complexation reaction between iodine and dibenzo- 18-crown- 6 (DB18C6) has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution at different temperatures. The resulting donor-acceptor complex was formulated as (DB 18C6…I )I . The spectrophotometric results , as well as the conductivity measurements, indicated that the gradual release of tiiodide ion from its contac...

Copper, cadmium, and phthalic acid (H2Lp) adsorption by ferrihydrite was examined for binary and ternary systems. In binary systems adsorption was well reproduced using the diffuse layer model (DLM), and H2Lp adsorption was analogous to that of inorganic diprotic acids in terms of the relationship between the adsorption constants and acidity constants. In ternary systems H2Lp caused both the en...

The formation constants (log K), of the complexes formed between a number of amino acids(glycine , L-valine and L-alanine) with p-sulfonatocalix [4] arene at varying temperatures (25± 0.1to 65 ± 0.1 °C) in aqueous solutions and at natural pH of p-sulphonato-calix [4] arene (pH=3.2) bymeans of UV-Vis spectrophotometeric technique have been investigated. At this pH the guestmolecule is in its cat...

A new Schiff base ligand, 2,2'-{pyridine-2,6-diylbis[nitrilo(E)methylylidene]}bis(4 bromophenol),has been synthesized by reaction of the 2,6-diamino pyridine with 5-bromo salicylaldehyde at ethanolunder refluxing. The structure of the synthesized compound resulted from the IR, 1HNMR, MS andUV spectroscopy and elemental analysis data. Formation Constant (kf) value of it’s complexes withCu2+, Ni2...

We want to study the perturbation growth of an initial seed of an ellipsoidal shape in Top-Hat collapse model of the structure formation in the Modied Chaplygin gas cosmology. Considering reasonable values of the constants and the parameters of the model under study, we can show that a very small deviation from spherical symmetry (ellipsoidal geometry) in the initial seed leads to a nal highly ...

Effects of temperature and percentage of organic modifier were studied on retention and selectivity in RP-HPLC using solvation parameter model. The system constants were determined by multiple linear regression analysis from experimental values in the retention factor for a group of different solutes with known descriptors by computer using the program SPSS/PC. The experimental results showed t...

増 田高廣,吉 原清隆,篠 原広行,近 藤正春:東 京都立大学理学部化学教室,東 京都世 田谷 区深 沢2-1-1〒158 Rate constants for the hydrogen abstraction reactions of hydroxyl radicals from aliphatic peptides and N-acetyl amino acids were determined by the p-nitrosodimethylaniline method in gamma-irradiated solutions. For peptides, enhancement of reactivity toward hydroxyl radicals was expected, because of disappearance of suppression by NH3...

An essential problem in music information retrieval is to determine the similarity between two given melodies; there are several melodic similarity measures that have been proposed, among others, the Mongeau-Sankoff measure. In this work we implemented a modified version of the Mongeau-Sankoff measure. We conducted an experimental study to compare the implemented measure with other similarity m...

It is well known that, when normalized by n, the expected length of a longest common subsequence of d sequences of length n over an alphabet of size σ converges to a constant γσ,d. We disprove a speculation by Steele regarding a possible relation between γ2,d and γ2,2. In order to do that we also obtain some new lower bounds for γσ,d, when both σ and d are small integers.
