A simple visual and tristimulus colorimetric method (three-dimensional system CIE-L*a*b*) for the determination of trace amounts of diphosgene in air has been developed. The method is based on the suction of diphosgene vapors through a modified cotton fabric filter fixed in a special adapter. Prior to analysis, the filter is saturated with a chromogenic reagent based on 4-(p- nitrobenzyl)pyridine. The optimal composition of the reagent is 2 g of 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine and 4 g of N-phenylbenzylamine in 100 ml of a 50:50 ethanol-glycerol mixture. The intensity of the formed red coloration of the filter is evaluated visually or by a tristimulus colorimeter (LMG 173, Lange, Germany). The detection limit is 0.01 mg m-3. Acetyl chloride and benzoyl chloride react in 150 and 50 times higher concentrations, respectively. The method is suitable for mobile field analysis. .

A determination of the eigenvalues for a three-dimensional system is made by expanding the potential function V(x,y,z;Z2, λ,β)= –Z2[x2+y2+z2]+λ {x4+y4+z4+2β[x2y2+x2z2+y2z2]}, around its minimum. In this paper the results of extensive numerical calculations using this expansion and the Hill-determinant approach are reported for a large class of potential functions and for various values of the perturbation parameters Z2, λ, and β.

This paper shows the results obtained in field analysis performed at the Tamis River, starting from the settlement Jasa Tomic - border between Serbia and Romania to Pancevo - confluence of Tamis into the Danube. The Tamis is a 359 km long river rising in the southern Carpathian Mountains. It flows through the Banat region and flows into the Danube near Pancevo. During the years the water quality of the river has severely deteriorated and badly affected the environment and the river ecosystem. In situ measurements enabled determination of physico-chemical parameters of water quality of the Tamis River on every 400 m of the watercourse, such as: water temperature, pH value, electrical conductivity, contents of dissolved oxygen and oxygen saturation. The main reason of higher pollution of Tamis is seen in connection to DTD hydro system. Sampling was performed at 7 points with regard to color, turbidity, total hardness, alkalinity, concentration of ammonium nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, iron, chlorides and sulphates in samples. The aim of the present work was to evaluate water quality in the Tamis River taking into account significant pollution, which originates from settlements, industry and agriculture, and to suggest appropriate preventive measures to further pollution decreasing of the river's water.

The energy levels of a three-dimensional system are calculated for the rational potentials,[Formula: see text]using the inner-product technique over a wide range of values of the perturbation parameters (λ, g) and for various eigenstates. The numerical results for some special cases agree with those of previous workers where available.

This paper uses the general solution of the linearized initial-value problem for an unbounded, exponentially-stratified, perfectly-conducting Couette flow in the presence of a uniform magnetic field to study the development of localized wave-type perturbations to the basic flow. The two-dimensional problem is shown to be stable for all hydrodynamic Richardson numbers JH, positive and negative, and wave packets in this flow are shown to approach, asymptotically, a level in the fluid (the ‘isolation level’) which is a smooth, continuous, function of JH that is well defined for JH < 0 as well as JH > 0. This system exhibits a rich complement of wave phenomena and a variety of mechanisms for the transport of mean flow kinetic and potential energy, via linear wave processes, between widely-separated regions of fluid; this in addition to the usual mechanisms for the absorption of the initial wave energy itself. The appropriate three-dimensional system is discussed, and the role of nonlinearities on the development of localized disturbances is considered.
