Quadratically parametrized smooth maps from one complex projective space to another are constructed as projections of the Segre map of the complexification. A classification theorem relates equivalence classes of projections to congruence classes of matrix pencils. Maps from the 2-sphere to the complex projective plane, which generalize stereographic projection, and immersions of the complex pr...

In this paper is studied the differential geometry of the complex indicatrix, which is approached as an embedded CR hypersurface of the punctual holomorphic tangent bundle of a complex Finsler space. Following the study of CR submanifolds of a Kähler manifold and using the submanifold formulae there are investigated some properties of the complex indicatrix, such as the fact that it is an extri...

In this investigation, rheological properties of three different polymer-modified bitumen compounds containing recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET), crumb rubber (CR) and poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) are evaluated and compared. The modified samples were tested by a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) where complex modulus (G*), phase angle (δ) and rutting resistance (G*/Sinδ) of spec...

To investigate the role mitochondrial membrane lipids play in the actions of CR (calorie restriction), C57BL/6 mice were assigned to four groups (control and three 40% CR groups) and the CR groups were fed diets containing soya bean oil (also in the control diet), fish oil or lard. The fatty acid composition of the major mitochondrial phospholipid classes, proton leak and H(2)O(2) production we...

A modification of the previously developed synthetic approach towards dinuclear flexibly linked salphen complexes is successfully utilized for the preparation of heterodinuclear salphen dimers. A dinuclear salphen species with Pd(II) and Cr(III) centers bears a stronger structural resemblance to the related bis-Cr(III) compound than the corresponding mononuclear Cr(III) salphen complex. Therefo...

A new complex of Chromium(III) and the cross-bridged macrocyclic ligand 4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2] hexadecane has been synthesized. Complexation of Tungsten, Vanadium, and Molybdenum was unsuccessful. The Cr(III)(L) complex was characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy λmax = 583nm , IR Spectroscopy, X-Ray Crystallography, and magnetic susceptibility ueff = 3.95. These tests...

The substitution reactions of [Cr(SALM)(OH2)2] + (SALM =N, N– ethylene–bis-salicylamide) and Cr(H2O)6 3+ with ranitidine hydrochloride, an antacid have been studied spectrophotometrically over the range 0.5 × 10 ≤ [Cr(III)complex]T ≤ 3 ×10, 3.6 ≤ pH ≤ 4.2, 25C ≤ t ≤ 45C and I = 0.5 mol dm [Cr(III)complex] = ([Cr (III)(SALM)(OH2)2] or [Cr(H2O)6] ]) . This reaction follows a mechanism which takes...
