On long-wavelength magnetic anomalies over Indian region
A data set composed of vector magnetic measurements obtained by MAGSAT and very accurate altitude determinations made using Sun sensors and star cameras was used to obtain data for very quiet days over the Indian region at 10 S to 40 N and 60 E to 110 E in an effort to determine the validity of quantitative estimates made from aeromagnetic data obtained by removing the core field. To further account for the external effects, the ring current contributions estimated using both X and Z variations were subtracted from the observed values. Before this, the core contribution was eliminated through a spherical harmonic expansion with terms up to N=13. Analysis of the residual measurements using Fast Fourier techniques indicates that the anomalies contain substantial power for wavelengths of about 1500 kms. Because the ring current effect has a spatial structure of this dimension over India, efforts are being made to exactly eliminate these two interfering effects from the data
Wikstrosin, a tricoumarin from Wikstroemia viridiflora
In the polar fraction of the extract from Wikstroemia viridiflora, daphnoretin and a new coumarin, wikstrosin, were identified. Wikstrosin has been characterised by chemical and spectral methods as a tricoumarin, a new class not reported hitherto in nature
