Solvability of integrodifferential problems via fixed point theory in b-metric spaces
2015
The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of solutions set of integrodifferential problems in Banach spaces. We obtain our results by using fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings, under new contractive conditions, in the setting of complete b-metric spaces. Also, we present a data dependence theorem for the solutions set of fixed point problems.
Coupled fixed point theorems for multi-valued nonlinear contraction mappings in partially ordered metric spaces
2011
Abstract In this paper, we establish two coupled fixed point theorems for multi-valued nonlinear contraction mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. The theorems presented extend some results due to Ciric (2009) [3] . An example is given to illustrate the usability of our results.
Planar Mappings of Finite Distortion
2010
We review recent results on planar mappings of finite distortion. This class of mappings contains all analytic functions and quasiconformal mappings.
Evolution of patients’ socio-behavioral characteristics in the context of DAA: Results from the French ANRS CO13 HEPAVIH cohort of HIV-HCV co-infecte…
2018
International audience; BACKGROUND:Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) have dramatically increased HCV cure rates with minimal toxicity in HIV-HCV co-infected patients. This study aimed to compare the socio-behavioral characteristics of patients initiating pegylated-interferon (PEG-IFN)-based HCV treatment with those of patients initiating DAA-based treatment.METHODS:ANRS CO13 HEPAVIH is a national multicenter prospective cohort started in 2005, which enrolled 1,859 HIV-HCV co-infected patients followed up in French hospital outpatient units. Both clinical/biological and socio-behavioral data were collected during follow-up. We selected patients with socio-behavioral data available before HCV tr…
Numerical expressions for the computation of coincidence-summing correction factors in γ-ray spectrometry with HPGe detectors
2009
Numerical expressions to compute gamma-gamma and gamma-X(K) coincidence summing corrections were deduced by using a suitable computer program and a matrix representation of a decay scheme. For point sources only full-energy peak and total efficiencies are needed. Alternatively, values of peak-to-total ratio can be introduced. For extended sources, the same expressions can be considered with the introduction of "effective efficiencies". Examples of the use of the expressions for point sources and a particulate filter sample measured with a 60% relative efficiency HPGe detector are reported.
Impact of prompt gamma emission of 44Sc on quantification in preclinical and clinical PET systems
2021
Abstract 44Sc is an increasingly investigated positron emitter for use in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. However, 44Sc is a non-pure positron emitter, since prompt photons are co-emitted during the decay process. This study investigates coincidence energy spectra of 44Sc and its impact on PET quantification on a preclinical and clinical PET system in comparison with 18F. The raw data of the coincidence events revealed characteristic differences comparing the photon energy distribution of 44Sc and 18F. Due to prompt gamma emission of 44Sc, activity recovery is underestimated on PET systems. However, clinical PET imaging of 44Sc with acceptable quantitative accuracy appears feasi…
Elastic scattering studies of 16C at 50 MeV/A on proton and deuteron targets with the CHIMERA multidetector at INFN-LNS
2012
At the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS) in Catania (Italy), light radioactive ion beams have been produced through the In Flight Fragmentation method, using 18O and 13C at 55 MeV/A as primary beams impinging on a 9Be production target. Elastic scattering angular distributions of 16C+p and 16C+d at 50 MeV/A, 10Be+p at 56 MeV/A and 13B+d at 52 MeV/A systems were measured by using the CHIMERA (Charge Heavy Ion Mass and Energy Resolving Array) multidetector and kinematical coincidence technique. The experimental data are fitted by using the optical model. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
Una llamativa pieza reacuñada de la ceca Carissa (Cortijo de Carija, Cádiz)
2014
Se documenta un curioso ejemplar pesado cuya noved ad, además de la pieza en sí, la representan los dos glóbulos observables detrás de la cabeza galeada y que encontramos en el anverso. Estos glóbulos, concebidos como marca de v alor, pudieron ser del cuño original del anverso o, en su caso, de una pieza anterior a una reacuñación; aunque, finalmente, cabría otra posibilidad y que descartamos en este artículo: un nuevo valor a añadir, como un “As” o una “Unidad”, para la entonces ceca gaditana de Carissa . We present a curious heavy specimen whose novelty resides, besides the piece itself, in the two noticeable pellets behind the galley pro w on obverse. These pellets, conceived as a mark o…
Critical evaluation of two commonly used techniques for the treatment of data from extract dilution sniffing analysis
1993
The data from the extract dilution sniffing analysis of beer samples have been treated by two methods of analysis to give either «charm» or «FD» values. The results obtained from these two methods were compared and demonstrated that the rank order of intensity of the odor-active regions was different for most panelists when the data were presented as charm rather than FD values. Points of uncertainty observed while using this method such as between- and within-individual reproducibility and gaps in the coincident response five also been discussed
A dynamic analysis of SP 500, FTSE 100 and EURO STOXX 50 indices under different exchange rates.
2018
In this study, we assess the dynamic evolution of short-term correlation, long-term cointe-gration and Error Correction Model (hereafter referred to as ECM)-based long-term Granger causality between each pair of US, UK, and Eurozone stock markets from 1980 to 2015 using the rolling-window technique. A comparative analysis of pairwise dynamic integration and causality of stock markets, measured in common and domestic currency terms, is conducted to evaluate comprehensively how exchange rate fluctuations affect the time-varying integration among the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and EURO STOXX 50 indices. The results obtained show that the dynamic correlation, cointegration and ECM-based long-run Gra…
