Different forms of linear and non-linear field equations, so-called ‘phase-field’ equations, are studied in relation to the de Broglie–Bohm double-solution program. This defines a framework in which elementary particles are described by localised non-linear wave solutions moving by the guidance of a pilot wave, defined by the solution of a Schrödin...

This study focuses on the synthesis of iron molybdate [Fe2(MoO4)3] nanoparticles (NPs) using simple co-precipitation process. The catalyst synthesized was characterized by advanced instrumental techniques such as XRD, SEM, EDX, TGA and FTIR, which confirmed the successful synthesis of NPs. Organic compound Rhodamine B (Rh. B) dye was selected for p...

Two decades of evidence-based exploratory pursuits in heme-flavin enzymology led to the formulation of a new biological electron/moiety transfer paradigm, called murburn concept. Murburn is a novel literary abstraction from “mured burning” or “mild unrestricted burning”. This concept was invoked to explain the longstanding conundrum of maverick phy...

Nickel salts of Keggin-type heteropolyacid on Zr(IV)-based metal-organic frameworks (UiO-66) has been synthesized via ion-exchange followed by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The synthesized catalysts underwent FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, powder XRD, SEM and TEM analysis. The NiHSiW/UiO-66 catalyst was used as a new and effective solid a...

A novel hydrogel slow-release nitrogen fertilizer based on sawdust with water absorbency was prepared using grafting copolymerization. Urea was incorporated as nitrogen source in a hydrogel fertilizer. Potassium persulfate (KPS) and N,N᾽-methylenebis acrylamide (MBA) were used as the initiator and cross-linker, respectively. The structure and prope...

We prove that an n-by-n complex positive semidefinite matrix of rank r whose graph is connected, whose diagonal entries are integers, and whose non-zero off-diagonal entries have modulus at least one, has trace at least n + r − 1.

The objective of this paper is to characterize the distribution of the condition number of a complex Gaussian matrix. Several new distributional properties of the distribution of the condition number of a complex Gaussian matrix are given. Based on such distributional properties, some characterizations of the distribution are given by truncated mom...

The spectrum of two interesting stochastic matrices appearing in an engineering paper is completely determined. As a result, an inequality conjectured in that paper, involving two second largest eigenvalues, is easily proved.

We give a short proof of Mirsky’s result regarding the extreme points of the convex polytope of doubly substochastic matrices via Birkhoff’s Theorem and the doubly stochastic completion of doubly sub-stochastic matrices. In addition, we give an alternative proof of the extreme points of the convex polytopes of symmetric doubly substochastic matrice...
