Tricaesium dimolybdate(VI) bromide

The title compound, Cs3(Mo2O7)Br, was synthesized by the reaction of CsNO3, MoO3 and 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium bromide. Its crystal structure is isotypic with K3(Mo2O7)Br and contains (MoO4)2− tetra­hedra which share an O atom to produce a [Mo2O7]2− dimolybdate(VI) anion with a linear bridging angle and m2 symmetry. The anions are linked by Cs atoms (site symmetry m2), forming sheets parallel to (001). Br atoms (site symmetry m2) are also part of this layer. Another type of Cs atom (3m site symmetry) is located in the inter­layer space and connects the layers via Cs—O and Cs—Br inter­actions into a three-dimensional array

Electrogenic K+/H+ exchange in excised wheat roots

Root excision from Triticum vulgare L. var. muticum seedlings induced a membrane potential drop, homeostasis disturbances, and loss of absorbing capacity in roots. During subsequent 3 - 4 h incubation the initial physiological properties of the roots were restored. At that period K+ absorption could be blocked by tetraethylammonium (TEA) without changing pH of the incubation medium. After 5 - 6 h of incubation the membrane hyperpolarization and the enhancement of the absorbing capacity were observed. At that period K+ influx, at presence or absence of valinomycin in incubation medium, was coupled with acidification of the external medium and was not blocked by TEA

It is also made some theoretical generalization of their economic, technical, technological, didactic advantages and disadvantages. Visual examples of application are provided in the article. The authors make notice that in the long run the technologies under study should become a valuable educational tool of creation virtual information and education environments connected into common national, and then global, educational space

Studies of contribution of metals bonded with organic matter of seawater to the fluxes of total dissolved metals across water-sediment interface at Vistula Lagoon of Baltic Sea

© 2004 IEEE. Investigations of fluxes of a dissolved element across the water-sediment interface in Vistula Lagoon (Baltic Sea) were carried out in August 2001 and 2002, using chamber experiments. Oxygen, iron(II), total dissolved iron, manganese, copper and lead fluxes were calculated. For the first time the fluxes of metals bonded with organic matter of sea water were studied. The contribution of metals bonded with organic matter to the total flux was varied depending upon conditions and may reach up to 70 %. It was found that metal fluxes at the coastal zone are larger than at the center of the lagoon by the factor of 2-4

Пьеса Т. Мидлтона и У. Роули «Оборотень» как «трагедия порока»

The article is devoted to the consideration of the motif of “lapse from virtue” based on the example of the heroine of the Renaissance revenge tragedy “The Changeling” (1622) by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley. The article identifies the key scenes of the tragedy, helping to understand the multidimensionality and allusiveness of the heroine. In the context of the relationship of the heroine to other characters in the tragedy, the authors determine and analyse the character metamorphosis and stages of the moral decay of Beatrice-Joanna. Examples of the subversion of the audience’s expectation are given. The authors examine scenes of the tragedy, which help to reveal the motifs of the double and shapeshifting, related to the image of the main character. The system of characters in the play by Middleton and Rowley is considered in the context of the most significant dramatic works of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras.El artículo está dedicado a la consideración del motivo de la caída con el ejemplo de la imagen de la heroína principal de la sangrienta tragedia renacentista de la venganza de T. Middleton y W. Rowley (Thomas Middleton, 1580-1627, y William Rowley, 1585-1626) "El hombre lobo" (1622). El artículo identifica escenas clave del drama que ayudan a comprender la no unidimensionalidad y la alusividad de la imagen del personaje principal. En el contexto de la relación de la heroína con otros personajes del drama, los autores revelan y analizan las metamorfosis del personaje y las etapas de degradación moral de Beatrice-Joanna. Se dan los ejemplos del uso de la recepción del engaño de las expectativas del público. Los autores consideran escenas del texto del drama que ayudan a descubrir los motivos de la dualidad y a trabajar en la imagen del personaje principal. El sistema de personajes de la obra de T. Middleton y W. Rowley se considera en el contexto de las obras dramáticas más llamativas de las épocas Isabelina y Yakoviana.Статья посвящена рассмотрению мотива грехопадения на примере образа главной героини ренессансной кровавой трагедии мести Т.

Mechanisms of regulation of invasive processes in phytoplankton on the example of the north-eastern part of the Black Sea

© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. In the north-eastern part of the Black Sea, the seasonal complexes of dominant species of phytoplankton were fixed: small-celled diatom (spring), coccolithophores (late spring, early summer) and large diatoms (summer and autumn). In May–June 2005 and 2006, two invasive species of marine diatoms Chaetoceros throndsenii (maximal abundance 1.92 × 105 cells/l) and Chaetoceros minimus (1.6 × 105 cells/l) were recorded. These species have been incorporated in the complex of the late spring and early summer and grew simultaneously with the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi. The coccolithophore was dominant species, whose abundance had reached the level of a bloom. C. throndsenii was observed over the entire area from the coast to the centre of the sea; C. minimus were recorded at coastal stations and only at two stations of the open sea. Stratification of the water mass and the low (below the Redfield) ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus were observed at this time. Then, C. throndsenii was not marked even once, and C. minimus has been registered once on a shelf in June 2011. Experimental studies (2005) have shown that intensive growth C. throndsenii requires the simultaneous addition of nitrogen and phosphorus in a ratio close to the Redfield ratio. C. minimus shows the intensive growth only at high concentrations of phosphorus and at low nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio (the experiment was carried out in June 2011). Mathematical modelling shows that C. throndsenii and Emiliania huxleyi form a stable couple whose growth is limited by different factors: the diatoms by nitrogen and the coccolithophores by phosphorus. C. minimus might not be able to form a stable couple with coccolithophores because they have the same limiting factor, i.e. phosphorus. However, this species could become the dominant one, if low (0.5–1) nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio conditions were stable for more than 2 months. However, this scenario is improbable in natural circumstances since the existence of this complex seasonal rarely exceeds 1.5 months

Two-particle decays of B_c meson into charmonium states

The factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints of approach applicability and uncertainties of numerical estimates are discussed. The mode with the J/psi in the final state is evaluated taking into account the cascade radiative electromagnetic decays of excited P-wave states, that enlarges the branching ratio by 20-25%.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX axodraw-style, 1 figure, 2 table
