X-ray spectral and timing characteristics of the stars in the young open cluster IC 2391
2005
We present X-ray spectral and timing analysis of members of the young open cluster IC 2391 observed with the XMM-Newton observatory. We detected 99 X-ray sources by analysing the summed data obtained from MOS1, MOS2 and pn detectors of the EPIC camera; 24 of them are members, or probable members, of the cluster. Stars of all spectral types have been detected, from the early-types to the late-M dwarfs. Despite the capability of the instrument to recognize up to 3 thermal components, the X-ray spectra of the G, K and M members of the cluster are well described with two thermal components (at kT$_1 \sim$ 0.3-0.5 keV and kT$_2 \sim$ 1.0-1.2 keV respectively) while the X-ray spectra of F members…
Detection of X-ray Resonance Scattering in Active Stellar Coronae
2004
An analysis of Lyman series lines arising from hydrogen-like oxygen and neon ions in the coronae of the active RS CVn-type binaries II Peg and IM Peg, observed using the {\it Chandra} High Resolution Transmission Grating Spectrograph, shows significant decrements in the Ly$\alpha$/Ly$\beta$ ratios as compared with theoretical predictions and with the same ratios observed in similar active binaries. We interpret these decrements in terms of resonance scattering of line photons out of the line-of-sight; these observations present the first strong evidence for this effect in active stellar coronae. The net line photon loss implies a non-uniform and asymmetric surface distribution of emitting s…
F-type lectin from serum of the Antarctic teleost fish Trematomus bernacchii (Boulenger, 1902): Purification, structural characterization, and bacter…
2021
Abstract The increasing availability of sequenced genomes has enabled a deeper understanding of the complexity of fish lectin repertoires involved in early development and immune recognition. The teleost fucose-type lectin (FTL) family includes proteins that preferentially bind fucose and display tandemly arrayed carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) or are found in mosaic combinations with other domains. They function as opsonins, promoting phagocytosis and the clearance of microbial pathogens. The Antarctic fish Trematomus bernacchii is a Perciforme living at extremely low temperatures (−1.68 °C) which is considered a model for studying adaptability to the variability of environmental w…
Enhanced in vivo targeting of murine nonparenchymal liver cells with monophosphoryl lipid A functionalized microcapsules.
2014
A broad spectrum of infectious liver diseases emphasizes the need of microparticles for targeted delivery of immunomodulatory substances to the liver. Microcapsules (MCs) are particularly attractive for innovative drug and vaccine formulations, enabling the combination of antigen, drugs, and adjuvants. The present study aimed to develop microcapsules characterized by an enhanced liver deposition and accelerated uptake by nonparenchymal liver cells (NPCs). Initially, two formulations of biodegradable microcapsules were synthesized from either hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or mannose. Notably, HES-MCs accumulated primarily in the liver, while mannose particles displayed a lung preference. Functio…
Bifurcation phenomena for the positive solutions of semilinear elliptic problems with mixed boundary conditions
2016
We consider a parametric semilinear elliptic equation with a Cara-theodory reaction which exhibits competing nonlinearities. It is "concave" (sub-linear) near the origin and "convex" (superlinear) or linear near $+\infty$. Using variational methods based on the critical point theory, coupled with suitable truncation and comparison techniques, we prove a bifurcation-type theorem, describing the set of positive solutions as the parameter varies.
Parameter dependence for the positive solutions of nonlinear, nonhomogeneous Robin problems
2020
We consider a parametric nonlinear Robin problem driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator plus an indefinite potential. The reaction term is $$(p-1)$$-superlinear but need not satisfy the usual Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. We look for positive solutions and prove a bifurcation-type result for the set of positive solutions as the parameter $$\lambda >0$$ varies. Also we prove the existence of a minimal positive solution $$u_\lambda ^*$$ and determine the monotonicity and continuity properties of the map $$\lambda \rightarrow u_\lambda ^*$$.
Fixed points for Geraghty-Contractions in partial metric spaces
2015
We establish some fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying Geraghty-type contractive conditions in the setting of partial metric spaces and ordered partial metric spaces. Presented theorems extend and generalize many existing results in the literature. Examples are given showing that these results are proper extensions of the existing ones. c ©2014 All rights reserved.
Symmetry for positive critical points of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities
2022
Abstract We consider positive critical points of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and prove a Liouville type result which allows us to give a complete classification of the solutions in a certain range of parameters, providing a symmetry result for positive solutions. The governing operator is a weighted p -Laplace operator, which we consider for a general p ∈ ( 1 , d ) . For p = 2 , the symmetry breaking region for extremals of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities was completely characterized in Dolbeault et al. (2016). Our results extend this result to a general p and are optimal in some cases.
Dyadic Norm Besov-Type Spaces as Trace Spaces on Regular Trees
2019
In this paper, we study function spaces defined via dyadic energies on the boundaries of regular trees. We show that correct choices of dyadic energies result in Besov-type spaces that are trace spaces of (weighted) first order Sobolev spaces.
Local Spectral Properties Under Conjugations
2021
AbstractIn this paper, we study some local spectral properties of operators having form JTJ, where J is a conjugation on a Hilbert space H and $$T\in L(H)$$ T ∈ L ( H ) . We also study the relationship between the quasi-nilpotent part of the adjoint $$T^*$$ T ∗ and the analytic core K(T) in the case of decomposable complex symmetric operators. In the last part we consider Weyl type theorems for triangular operator matrices for which one of the entries has form JTJ, or has form $$JT^*J$$ J T ∗ J . The theory is exemplified in some concrete cases.
