    Notes: Abstract —Several major features of the interaction of the Somali jet with the Western Ghat Mountains have been observed. These include a pressure ridge, strong vertical motions, and occurrences of highly reflective cloud and heavy rainfall rates along the west coast of India. A triple nested regional weather prediction model has been used to investigate the dynamic interaction between the Somali jet and the Western Ghat Mountains. Two numerical experiments were conducted; one with the topography of western India and the other without. In the experiment without topography, the Western Ghat Mountains were removed from the innermost domain. The results for the innermost domain in the two experiments were analyzed and compared. The results from the simulation with topography captured several of the observed features of the Somali jet interaction with the Western Ghat Mountains. The simulation without topography failed to reveal these features. The results suggest that the blocking effect of the Western Ghats plays an important role in the prediction of the rainfall over the west coast of India.

    Notes: An NMR. investigation of the state of formaldehyde in acidic solutions has been carried out. Solutions of DCl/D2O/CD3COOD containing two sources of formaldehyde, i.e. paraformaldehyde (I) and trioxane (II), were used for this purpose. In systems I and II the effect of various D2O/CD3COOD ratios, at a constant DCl concentration, was studied, while for II the effect of changing DCl concentration was also investigated. The results show that in aqueous solution, formaldehyde exists primarily as the monomeric and linear oligomeric forms of methylene glycol. Reducing the amount of D2O (at constant DCl concentration), while increasing the CD3COOD content, results in an increase in the polymeric species and in trioxane. In addition, substitution of water by acetic acid results in systems that are catalytically more active than aqueous solutions of the same hydrochloric acid concentration. Along with the usual polymer-monomer equilibria which exist in such solutions, side reactions of methylene glycol with the hydrochloric acid present also occur to a small extent, e.g. acetylation, substitution of OH by Cl and the Cannizzaro reaction. It is suggested that these findings will result in a better understanding of the formaldehyde crosslinking reactions in cotton cellulose.

    Notes: The structural properties of epoxy can be retained and thermal stability improved by blending epoxy with bismaleimide (BMI) and curing them simultaneously. Depending on the curing agent, the overall viscoelastic properties of the cured material can be varied. In the present work, diaminodiphenylmethane and diaminodiphenyl sulfone have been used as curing agents to prepare blends of epoxy and BMI. The blends were characterized by DSC, TG, DMA, and SEM. Results indicate that an excellent interpenetrating network forms in both the cases and that the DDM-cured system gives better thermal stability than that of the DDS-cured system. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
