Radiation Pressure Against Perfect Reflectors
Authors: Rhodes J. Elmer 
Published: August 2005

The concept of radiation pressure exerted against a reflecting surface by electromagnetic waves and by sound waves in gases is a familiar one. The absence of radiation pressure for sound waves in a “linear medium” is becoming well known. The equations are somewhat different for the radiation pressure for these two cases where the radiation pressure is not zero. The mechanisms usually called on to explain them (nonlinearity of the equation of state of the gas, acceleration of charges in the reflector by the electromagnetic waves) are widely removed from each other. Consequently, it is not evident on the surface whether radiation pressure is a general property of waves or the capricious result of isolated physical phenomena associated with some waves.
A generalized concept of radiation pressure is here developed and then applied to several kinds of waves: sound waves in various media, waves on strings and springs, electromagnetic waves. Also, a simple demonstration of radiation pressure (for waves in a ripple tray) is described.
'Illuminating What is Thought'. A Middle Platonist Placitum On 'voice' in Context
Authors: Mansfeld Jaap 
Published: August 2005

AbstractThe Plato κɛπαλαιον in Aëtius' chapter On Voice is the result of the interpretation, modernization, and systematization of brief passages dealing with hearing, voice and speech to be found in several dialogues. This construction of Plato's doctrine of 'voice' was mainly inspired by the systematic and innovative Stoic τóπος On Voice. The 'physical' definition is based on passages in Theaetetus and other works, the 'physiological' on a passage in Timaeus. The distinction and relation between voiceless internal λóγος (or thought) and spoken λóγος in Theaetetus and Sophist was interpreted as being equivalent to that between internal and uttered ϕωνη-cum-λóγος which played an important part in the Stoic view of the relation between thinking and speaking. Because as a rule Plato uses ϕωνη of the human voice, the rigorous distinction between this voice and that of animals and lifeless things postulated by Diogenes of Seleucia and other Stoics could be attributed to him, and his unsystematic usage justified by claiming that he used ϕωνη both in the proper and in a loose (or improper) sense. Approaches such as these are characteristic of Middle Platonism. In the present case the neutralization of Theophrastus' criticism of Plato in the De sensibus played a significant part. Plato's statement that thought is mirrored in what is spoken was updated by replacing it with a (fanciful) etymology of ϕωνη which must be dated to at least the Hellenistic period (it was known to e.g. Philo of Alexandria and used by the grammarian Philoxenus). Surprisingly full parallels for virtually the entire contents of the Aëtian κεϕαλαıον are found in the Commentaria in Dionysium Thracem. The etymology of ϕωνη, and others like it, were quoted and used by grammarians and lexicographers from the later first century BCE up to late Byzantine times. The attempt to understand the doxographer's lemma on Plato on voice thus becomes a case-study demonstrating both the openness and the tenacity of philosophical interpretation in antiquity. But note that the present inquiry is not concerned with the Aristotelian or (partly) Aristotelianizing tradition according to which language is conventional.One of the side-effects of the present inquiry was the unsurprising realization (again) that 'parallel passages', once quoted and interpreted out of context, may sort of drift from one book or paper to the next, while their interpretation hardens into received truth. In the present case the so-called parallels in Plato for the later distinction between the internal and the spoken voice proved to be not so parallel after all.
Further Hellenistic Acrostics: Aratus and Others
Authors:   Danielewicz
Published: August 2005

AbstractThe author, after a short review of the research to date and the criteria with which to approach the topic, discusses a number of acrostics to be found in Aratus' Phaenomena, Callimachus' Hymns, and Apollonius Rhodius' Argonautica, all of them recently detected by himself. It turns out that Aratus was particularly fond of inserting syllabic 'gamma-type' acrostics, which should not always be taken as examples of mere art for art's sake since they may allude to, or are supported by, the immediate context. Special attention, nevertheless, is given to the interpretation of a 'regular' acrostic (EΠAΘE, Phaen. 220-4), in which the poet's empathy with nature is emphasised. The examples from Callimachus (h. 1.60-2; 5.116-9) and Apollonius Rhodius (1.180-4; 2.421-3; 3.1008-11; 4.1489-92) show that the interrelation between the acrostic and its context may have a ludic character when, for instance, the acrostic serves as a kind of humorous authorial comment. It is interesting to observe that the acrostics in Callimachus and Apollonius Rhodius seem to be mostly connected with important moments in narration.The author also analyses, by way of comparison, a hitherto unnoticed Latin acrostic from Virgil's Ecl. 8.42-7: inanis (viz. Love).
Electrocatalytic Oxidation of NADH Using a Novel Modified Electrode with a Ruthenium Complex Containing Phenanthroline Quinone
Authors: Yokoyama Keiko , Ueda Yoshikazu , Nakamura Nobuhumi , Ohno Hiroyuki 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
A ruthenium complex containing phenanthroline quinone, [Ru(pdon)2(aphen)](ClO4)2 (pdon = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, aphen = 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline) (1), was prepared as an electrocatalytic adsorbate on a gold electrode. Immobilization of 1 on the gold electrode was confirmed by surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy. The rate constant ks was calculated as 10 s−1 at pH 7.0. The electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH using this modified electrode was investigated.

Authors: Ohshima Asuka , Momotake Atsuya , Arai Tatsuo 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
Naphthalene-based salicylideneaniline analogue 2 underwent photochemical cis–trans isomerization in organic glass at low temperature. The lifetime of the photoproduct trans-keto tautomer in glass was similar to that in solution at higher temperature, suggesting the formation of high energy conformer by volume conserving isomerization mechanism.
Control of Polysilane Conformation by Photoisomerization of Pendant Azobenzene Groups
Authors: Horiuchi Hiroaki , Fukushima Toru , Zhao Changli , Okutsu Tetsuo , Hiratsuka Hiroshi 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
Conformational study of silicon backbone of poly(methylphenylsilane) functionalized with pendant azobenzene groups has been carried out. The conformation of the silicon backbone depends on the molar ratio of the Si units with and without the pendant azobenzene group, and the inflection point for the conformational change from the slowly winding helix to random coil has been found to be ca. 0.5 of the molar ratio. The conformational change has been induced by the photoisomerization of pendant azobenzene groups in the film state.
Rhodium-catalyzed Synthesis of Indenols by Regioselective Coupling of Alkynes with Ortho-carbonylated Arylboronic Acids
Authors: Shintani Ryo , Okamoto Kazuhiro , Hayashi Tamio 
Published: August 2005

Abstract
A rhodium/diene-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of indenols has been developed through the coupling of alkynes with ortho-carbonylated arylboronic acids. These reactions proceed under mild conditions in uniformly high yield and regioselectivity. The reaction has also been applied to its asymmetric variant by the use of chiral diene ligands to achieve high enantioselectivity.
Cochlear implantation in children with Waardenburg syndrome
Authors: Daneshi A , Hassanzadeh S , Farhadi M 
Published: August 2005

Waardenburg syndrome is an autosomal-dominant trait resulting from mutations occurring in different genes. It is often characterized by varying degrees of: congenital hearing loss; dystopia canthorum; synophrys; broad nasal root; depigmentation of hair (white forelock), skin or both; and heterochromic or hypochromic irides.A retrospective case study was done to assess speech perception, speech production, general intelligence and educational setting in six profoundly hearing-impaired children with Waardenburg syndrome (four with type I, one with type II and one with type III) ranging in age from two years to 14 years, seven months (mean = six years, six months). None of the patients had malformation of the cochlea and were implanted using Nucleus 22/24 and Med-el combi40+. Five out of the six cases were of average intelligence and one had a borderline intelligence quotient. The follow-up period ranged from one year, 10 months to six years, six months (mean = three years, six months) after implantation. The evaluation of auditory perception in patients was accomplished using the Persian Auditory Perception Test for the Hearing-Impaired, a Persian Spondee wordstest and the Categories of Auditory Performance Index. The Speech Intelligibility Rating test was used to evaluate speech production ability. All the patients’ speech perception and speech intelligibility capabilities improved considerably after receiving the implants, and they were able to be placed in regular educational settings. Patients used their cochlear-implant devices whenever awake, implying that they benefitted from the devices. We suggest that any further expansion of cochlear-implantation criteria in children include those with Waardenburg syndrome.
