A note on the uniqueness result for the inverse Henderson problem
2019
The inverse Henderson problem of statistical mechanics is the theoretical foundation for many bottom-up coarse-graining techniques for the numerical simulation of complex soft matter physics. This inverse problem concerns classical particles in continuous space which interact according to a pair potential depending on the distance of the particles. Roughly stated, it asks for the interaction potential given the equilibrium pair correlation function of the system. In 1974, Henderson proved that this potential is uniquely determined in a canonical ensemble and he claimed the same result for the thermodynamical limit of the physical system. Here, we provide a rigorous proof of a slightly more …
Sensor Properties of Pristine and Functionalized Carbon Nanohorns
2016
Nanodispersions of pristine single-wall carbon nanohorns (i.e., p-SWCNHs) and oxidized-SWCNHs (i.e.; o-SWCNHs) were used to modify screen printed electrode (SPE). p-SWCNHs and o-SWCNHs were fully characterized by using several analytical techniques, as: HR-TEM (High Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscopy), FE-SEM/EDX (Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The chemically modified SPEs were also characterized with Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), using several different electro-active targets. In all cases, p-SWCNHs showed bett…
Continuous measurement of cardiac output by the Fick principle in infants and children: comparison with the thermodilution method.
1996
To compare a system that continuously monitors cardiac output by the Fick principle with measurements by the thermodilution technique in pediatric patients.Prospective direct comparison of the above two techniques.Pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital.25 infants and children, aged 1 week to 17 years (median 10 months), who had undergone open heart surgery were studied. Only patients without an endotracheal tube leak and without a residual shunt were included.The system based on the Fick principle uses measurements of oxygen consumption taken by a metabolic monitor and of arterial and mixed venous oxygen saturation taken by pulse- and fiberoptic oximetry to calculate cardiac…
PLLA scaffolds produced by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) allow human chondrocyte growth and extracellular matrix formation dependent on p…
2016
Damage of hyaline cartilage species such as nasoseptal or joint cartilage requires proper reconstruction, which remains challenging due to the low intrinsic repair capacity of this tissue. Implantation of autologous chondrocytes in combination with a biomimetic biomaterial represents a promising strategy to support cartilage repair. The aim of this work was to assess the viability, attachment, morphology, extracellular matrix (ECM) production of human articular and nasoseptal chondrocytes cultured in vitro in porous poly(L-lactic) (PLLA) scaffolds of two selected pore sizes (100 and 200 μm). The PLLA scaffolds with 100 and 200 μm pore sizes were prepared via ternary thermally induced ph…
κ-Carrageenan and PVA blends as bioinks to 3D print scaffolds for cartilage reconstruction.
2022
3D printing of polymeric scaffolds and autologous stem cells is a promising tool for damaged facial cartilage reconstruction surgeries. To this end, suitable bioinks are needed to generate scaffolds with the required morphological and functional features. We formulated hydrogel bioinks using k-Carrageen (kC) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in three different weight ratios. The kC gives the systems the ability to undergo rapid sol-to-gel transitions upon cooling from 60 °C and above to body temperature, while the PVA is used as rheology modifier and porogen. The latter is crosslinked after molding or printing by freeze-thaw cycling for 1 day (FT1) or 5 days (FT5). To select the most suitable f…
La postura dell’Antonio Cassese «umanitarista» di fronte alla realtà dei conflitti armati: riflessioni a partire da alcuni scritti
2022
Il presente contributo intende ricostruire l’approccio scientifico di Antonio Cassese allo specifico settore del diritto internazionale umanitario, approccio che conferma alcuni tratti più generali del suo pensiero giuridico. La sensibilità del giurista verso la realtà politica, storica e sociale accompagna infatti la produzione scientifica anche in questo settore, contribuendo a tratteggiare la postura di studioso capace di comunicare con (e pungolare) gli Stati. Attraverso tre filoni di indagine (la regolamentazione dei conflitti armati interni; l’(in-)esistenza di meccanismi dedicati di controllo; la dicotomia tra divieti generali e divieti specifici in materia di armi), si dimostra come…
Savstarpējās atzīšanas principa piemērošana un tā pārkāpuma attaisnošana preču brīvas aprites jomā Eiropas Savienībā
2019
Bakalaura darbā tiek aplūkotas problēmas, kas izriet no savstarpējās atzīšanas principa un Līguma par Eiropas Savienības darbību 34. panta nekonsekventā nošķīruma, kā arī tiek analizēta savstarpējās atzīšanas principa kā patstāvīga tiesību institūta pamatotība. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot mijiedarbību starp savstarpējās atzīšanas principu un Līguma par Eiropas Savienības darbību 34. pantu, kā arī izpētīt savstarpējās atzīšanas principa kā patstāvīga tiesību institūta piemērošanas iespējamību. Lai to sasniegtu, autors darbā pēta savstarpējās atzīšanas principa vēsturisko izcelsmi, principa nepieciešamības pamatojumu preču brīvas aprites jomā un tā saturisko apjomu. Pētījuma rezultātā, autors …
Pedagogika katolicka – znaczenie i aktualność w kontekście chaosu wartości (perspektywa polska)
2017
Education cannot be reduced to information and should guarantee to the students and their parents the freedom of making axiological decisions and solutions. The above mentioned right is confimed by the right of parents to raise their children according to their own conceptions. In the contemporary chaos of values and principles of education the Catholic education remains a topical, interesting and important proposal for school.
On Approximation of Entropy Solutions for One System of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Impulse Source Terms
2010
We study one class of nonlinear fluid dynamic models with impulse source terms. The model consists of a system of two hyperbolic conservation laws: a nonlinear conservation law for the goods density and a linear evolution equation for the processing rate. We consider the case when influx-rates in the second equation take the form of impulse functions. Using the vanishing viscosity method and the so-called principle of fictitious controls, we show that entropy solutions to the original Cauchy problem can be approximated by optimal solutions of special optimization problems.
