The components of nucleus-independent chem. shift (NICS) tensors for Dnh n-annulenes are discussed as indexes of the arom. character of electronic pi systems. The component corresponding to the principal axis perpendicular to the ring plane, NICSzz, is fou ...
Modern organometallic methods enable the regioflexible conversion of simple heterocyclic starting materials into families of isomers and congeners. Depending on the choice of the reagent, 1-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole undergoes deprotonation and sub ...
The effect of sizing on bending rigidity in fibre bundles was investigated. Particular attention was paid to the effect of film formers and anti-static agents on the behaviour of glass fibre bundles under forced packing conditions. The bending rigidity of ...
This chapter reviews bicyclic systems containing two fused five-membered rings with one bridgehead nitrogen and two other heteroatoms (nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur) in each ring. Among the possible structural backbones, 16 have been so far found in the lit ...
We obtain a theory of stratified Sternberg spaces thereby extending the theory of cotangent bundle reduction for free actions to the singular case where the action on the base manifold consists of only one orbit type. We find that the symplectic reduced sp ...
The correlation between sizing formulation, bundle mechanical characteristics, and bundle-matrix static and dynamic interactions are investigated. Two glass-fiber sizing formulations are considered, one containing polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and the other pol ...
Eight new seven-membered ring iminoalditols, displaying an amino group and a hydroxymethyl group on the ring, have been synthesized from D-arabinose via epoxidation of a protected azacycloheptene and subsequent nucleophilic opening. Three of them show a po ...
We have integrated an individual nanostructured permalloy ring on a Hall sensor and studied the switching processes in a temperature regime between 4.2 and 90 K in in-plane magnetic fields. The nanoring has an outer diameter of 550 nm. In the ring with a s ...
The use of variable-focal-length (VFL) microlenses can provide a way to axially scan the foci across a sample by electronic control. We demonstrate an approach to coupling VFL microlenses individually to a fiber bundle as a way to create a high-throughput ...
This thesis deals with applications of Lie symmetries in differential geometry and dynamical systems. The first chapter of the thesis studies the singular reduction of symmetries of cosphere bundles, the conservation properties of contact systems and their ...
