✦ Synopsis
The osmotic coefficients +p,Na of dilute solutions of the sodium form of some weakly acidic polymers are theoretically predicted in this work. Based on the measured value 0.73 of yNa, the activity coefficient of free Na+, of the completely ionized humic acid (sodium salt) in a salt-free solution, the effective interligand distance b is calculated to be 11.34 A by using Manning's counterion condensation theory [Manning, G. S. (1969) J . Chem. Phys. 51(3), 9241. The corresponding values of yNa (measured experimen!ally) and b for the completely ionized exopolymer of Pseudomom qtlanticu are 0.624 and 7.57 A when cultivated at a dilution rate D = 0.015 h-', 0.647 and 8.19 A at D = 0.025 h-', and 0.613 and 7.29 Aat D = 0.06 h-*. For alginic acid (in the completely ionized sodium form), yNB = 0.40 and b = 4.71 A. The osmotic coefficients +p,Na for the partially and the completely ionized polymers are then predicted with Manning's theory as well.

Based on the measurement of the concentration dependence of the osmotic pressure of sodium alginate aqueous solution in different concentrations of potassium nitrate, the contribution of polyion charges to the second virial coefficient was predicted. According to this analysis, an equation A 2 = A 2
We investigate the trace form tr : In particular, we study 2-extensions of degree F 16. Using some reduction theorems, these results yield a classification of nearly all trace forms of Galois extensions of degree F 31. Finally, we study the trace form of a cyclotomic extension and of its maximal re
A new procedure for obtaining high order normal forms and the associated coe$cients is presented. It is assumed that the Jacobian of the system considered is in a diagonal form. In comparison with existing normal form approaches, this procedure lends itself more readily to symbolic calculations, lik
## Abstract We show that the statement (K12) “separable, countably compact, regular spaces are Baire” is deducible from a strictly weaker form than AC, namely, CAC(ℝ) (the axiom of choice for countable families of non‐empty subsets of the real line ℝ). We also find some characterizations of the axi
