Origin of asymmetries in X-ray emission lines from the blast wave of the 2014 outburst of nova V745 Sco
2016
The symbiotic nova V745 Sco was observed in outburst on 2014 February 6. Its observations by the Chandra X-ray Observatory at days 16 and 17 have revealed a spectrum characterized by asymmetric and blue-shifted emission lines. Here we investigate the origin of these asymmetries through three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations describing the outburst during the first 20 days of evolution. The model takes into account thermal conduction and radiative cooling and assumes a blast wave propagates through an equatorial density enhancement. From the simulations, we synthesize the X-ray emission and derive the spectra as they would be observed with Chandra. We find that both the blast wave and th…
Large-scale jets from active galactic nuclei as a source of intracluster medium heating: cavities and shocks
2014
The evolution of powerful extragalactic jets is not only interesting by itself, but also for its impact on the evolution of the host galaxy and its surroundings. We have performed long-term axisymmetric numerical simulations of relativistic jets with different powers to study their evolution through an environment with a pressure and density gradient. Our results show key differences in the evolution of jets with different powers in terms of the spatial and temporal scales of energy deposition. According to our results, the observed morphology in X-ray cavities requires that an important fraction of the jet’s energetic budget is in the form of internal energy. Thus, light, lepton-dominated …
Oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate levels in female horseback riders during the obstacle test track
2020
The purpose of this study was to examine endurance performance by recording oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate during the obstacle test track, equivalent to competitive performance in female horseback riders. In total 42 female riders participated in the study (show jumping, SJ n = 16, eventing, E n = 26). Age, height and weight of the total group were 29.0(9.2) yrs, 1.68(0.06) m, and 68.1(10.3) kg, respectively. Participants rode a minimum of 4 times per/week, and the riding level was from national to international. VO2peak/VO2mean and HRpeak/HRmean of the total group during the obstacle test track (OTT) were 34.4(5.0)/26.4(4.0) ml/kg/min and 184.4(9.6)/178.1(10.2) bpm. BLa concen…
Incidence of DAA failure and the clinical impact of retreatment in real-life patients treated in the advanced stage of liver disease: Interim evaluat…
2017
Background: Few data are available on the virological and clinical outcomes of advanced liver disease patients retreated after first-line DAA failure. Aim: To evaluate DAA failure incidence and the retreatment clinical impact in patients treated in the advanced liver disease stage. Methods: Data on HCV genotype, liver disease severity, and first and second line DAA regimens were prospectively collected in consecutive patients who reached the 12-week post-treatment and retreatment evaluations from January 2015 to December 2016 in 23 of the PITER network centers. Results: Among 3,830 patients with advanced fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis, 139 (3.6%) failed to achieve SVR. Genotype 3, bilirubin lev…

Penalty Function Methods for the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Obstacle Problems with Finite Elements
2008
A class of penalty function methods for the solution of nonlinear variational inequalities with obstacles ⩽ 0 fur alle v ⩾ ψ in the Sobolev space W1, p (ω) is studied. The (nonlinear) penalty equations are solved by finite element techniques; the order of convergence of this procedure which depends on the regularity of the solution as well as on the finite elements used is investigated. Eine Klasse von Penalty-Methoden zur Losung nichtlinearer Variationsungleichungen mit Hindernisnebenbedingungen ⩽ 0 fur alle v ⩾ ψ im Sobolev Raum W1, p (ω) wird untersucht. Die (nichtlinearen) Penalty-Gleichungen werden mit Hilfe der Finite Elemente Methode gelost; die Konvergenzordnung dieses Verfahrens, w…
Signaux qualitatifs et phénomène de star
2000
The superstar phenomenon describes a situation wherein few artists dominate the activity in which they engage and earn significant amounts of money. Most of models, trying to explain this phenomenon, take place clearly on the product market where artists provide ultimate and consumers. We adopt here a different approach by taking place on the labour market regrouping artists (whose the services are production factors) and employers (the producers of cultural products) and we demonstrate that die strategies, consisting in minimizing search costs under contraint of quality maximisation, can work towards explaining the emergence of a very unequal distribution of artistic incomes. In order to m…
Solidago canadensis un Heracleum sosnowskyi ēterisko eļļu herbicidālā un fungicidālā iedarbība
2022
Strauja invazīvo augu sugu izplatīšanās tiek uzskatīta par vienu no galvenajiem bioloģiskās daudzveidības samazināšanās virzītājspēkiem, kā rezultātā tiek traucēta ekosistēmu pakalpojumu nodrošināšana, kas rada negatīvas ekoloģiskās sekas, ekonomiskus zaudējumus un kaitējumu cilvēka veselībai. Invazīvo augu sugu ierobežošana ir dārga un bieži vien ekonomiski neizdevīga, kā arī ķīmiskā ierobežošana var radīt draudus cilvēkam, tāpēc izdevīgāk būtu šīs sugas ilgtspējīgi izmantot, vienlaikus cenšoties nepieļaut jaunu invazīvo augu sugu ienākšanu Latvijā. Latvijā izplatītāko invazīvo augu sugu Sosnovska latvāņa un Kanādas zeltslotiņas augu daļas ir bagātas ar ēterisko eļļu, kurai var būt herbici…
