This paper deals with the non-linear oscillation of a satellite in an elliptic orbit around the Earth under the influence of aerodynamic and gravitational torque. It is assumed that the orbital plane coincides with the equatorial plane of the Earth. Using Bogoliubov–Krylov–Mitropolsky (BKM) methods of nonlinear oscillations, it is observed that the amplitude of the oscillation remains constant up to the second order of approximation. Numerically time series, 2D and 3D phase spaces are plotted for Earth Moon system using Matlab. The existence of main and parametric resonance concludes the different frequency states which transit the motion from regular to an attractor that leads to chaotic state.

Artykuł poświęcony jest nieliniowej oscylacji satelity w eliptycznej orbicie wokół Ziemi pod wpływem grawitacji i aerodynamicznego momentu obrotowego. Przyjmuje się, że płaszczyzna orbity pokrywa się z płaszczyzną równikową Ziemi. Po zastosowaniu metody nieliniowych oscylacji Bogoliubova–Krylova–Mitropolsky’ego (BKM) obserwujemy, że amplituda oscylacji jest stała przy aproksymacji rzędu drugiego. Ilustracje szeregów czasowych w przestrzeni fazowej 2- i 3-wymiarowej wykonano z wykorzystaniem procedur zaimplementowanych w MatLabie. Istnienie głównej składowej rezonansu i składowych parametrycznych wyjaśnia chaotyczny charakter częstotliwości.

A new, rapid, and specific reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method involving precolumn derivatization with benzoyl chloride was developed and validated for the estimation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in rat brain tissue preparations. The derivatization product of GABA was identified by melting point, infrared, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy to be n-benzoyl GABA. Various parameters which influenced derivatization and elusion were optimized. The chromatographic system consisted of C-18 column with ultraviolet (UV)—photodiode array detection ranging from 210 to 400 nm. Elution with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 0.025 M disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer—methanol (65:35, v/v; pH 6) at a flow rate of 1 mL min-1 yielded sharp and specific peak of n-benzoyl GABA within 7 min. The method was validated with respect to the linearity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, wherein the benzoyl derivative of GABA showed stability for 2 months. The lower limit of detection was 0.5 nmol L-1. This novel derivatization procedure for the estimation of GABA with benzoyl chloride was also applied for rat brain tissue preparations that gave highly specific peak and good component recovery. The results show that the method for the determination of GABA by benzoylation using RP-HPLC has good linearity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity and is simple and economical to perform.

Synthesis of titania (TiO2) nanoparticles by sol-gel method and their calcination at different temperatures, viz 450 C, 550 C and 650 C (defined as T450, T550 and T650) has been done. Structural analysis indicates that the T450 sample possesses anatase phase. The phase transformation to rutile starts occurring at T550, and, on increasing the calcination temperature, the crystallization and percentage of rutile phase increases. As the temperature increases from 450 to 650 C, the crystallite size increases by about a factor of two from 11.5 to 20.2 nm. From SEM micrographs, T550 electrode has been found to have appropriate aggregation, which led to enhanced dye desorption, as compared to T450 and T650 based electrodes. TEM images of the synthesized nanoparticles reveal that the particle size increases from 7 to 28 nm on increasing the calcination temperature from 450 to 650 C. From the photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared studies, it has been concluded that the surface OH- groups are reduced on calcination, which affects the electron injection efficiency. The dye sensitized solar cell, fabricated using T550 sample, having a ratio of anatase/rutile 89:11, has been found to achieve the highest conversion efficiency.
