Cytotoxicities of Polysubstituted Chlorodicarbonyl(cyclopentadienyl) and (Indenyl)ruthenium Complexes
2013
Polysubstituted cyclopentadienyl and indenyl complexes of ruthenium were synthesized and investigated to elucidate their potential cytotoxic activities. In particular, substituted (indenyl)ruthenium complexes inhibited the proliferation of a panel of human adherent cancer cells with comparable activity to reference agent cisplatin. One of the active compounds exerted a concentration dependent inhibition of cell cycle at G1–S transiton as evidenced by flow cytometry.
Wastewaters from citrus processing industry as natural biostimulants for soil microbial community
2020
Abstract Citrus fruit processing wastewaters (CWWs), being rich in organic matter, may be a valuable resource for agricultural irrigation and, possibly, for the improvement of soil organic carbon (TOC). This issue is becoming crucial for soils of arid and semiarid environments increasingly experiencing water scarcity and continuous decline of TOC towards levels insufficient to sustain crop production. However, before using CWWs in agriculture their effects on the soil living component have to be clarified. Therefore, in this study we assessed the impact of CWWs on soil chemical and biochemical properties. Under laboratory conditions, lemon, orange and tangerine wastewaters were separately a…
Volatile Compounds of Lemon and Grapefruit IntegroPectin
2020
An HS-SPME GC-MS analysis of the volatile compounds adsorbed at the outer surface of lemon and grapefruit pectins obtained via the hydrodynamic cavitation of industrial waste streams of lemon and grapefruit peels in water suggests important new findings en route to understanding the powerful and broad biological activity of these new pectic materials. In agreement with the ultralow degree of esterification of these pectins, the high amount of highly bioactive &alpha
Pseudocomplements in sum-ordered partial semirings
2007
We study a particular way of introducing pseudocomplementation in ordered semigroups with zero, and characterise the class of those pseudocomplemented semigroups, termed g-semigroups here, that admit a Glivenko type theorem (the pseudocomplements form a Boolean algebra). Some further results are obtained for g-semirings – those sum-ordered partially additive semirings whose multiplicative part is a g-semigroup. In particular, we introduce the notion of a partial Stone semiring and show that several well-known elementary characteristics of Stone algebras have analogues for such semirings.
Positive Versions of Polynomial Time
1998
Abstract We show that restricting a number of characterizations of the complexity class P to be positive (in natural ways) results in the same class of (monotone) problems, which we denote by posP . By a well-known result of Razborov, posP is a proper subclass of the class of monotone problems in P . We exhibit complete problems for posP via weak logical reductions, as we do for other logically defined classes of problems. Our work is a continuation of research undertaken by Grigni and Sipser, and subsequently Stewart; indeed, we introduce the notion of a positive deterministic Turing machine and consequently solve a problem posed by Grigni and Sipser.
Noise-tolerant efficient inductive synthesis of regular expressions from good examples
1997
We present an almost linear time method of inductive synthesis restoring simple regular expressions from one representative (good) example. In particular, we consider synthesis of expressions of star-height one, where we allow one union operation under each iteration, and synthesis of expressions without union operations from examples that may contain mistakes. In both cases we provide sufficient conditions defining precisely the class of target expressions and the notion of good examples under which the synthesis algorithm works correctly, and present the proof of correctness. In the case of expressions with unions the proof is based on novel results in the combinatorics of words. A genera…
Integrability of the one dimensional Schrödinger equation
2018
We present a definition of integrability for the one dimensional Schroedinger equation, which encompasses all known integrable systems, i.e. systems for which the spectrum can be explicitly computed. For this, we introduce the class of rigid functions, built as Liouvillian functions, but containing all solutions of rigid differential operators in the sense of Katz, and a notion of natural boundary conditions. We then make a complete classification of rational integrable potentials. Many new integrable cases are found, some of them physically interesting.
The arithmetic decomposition of central Cantor sets
2018
Abstract Every central Cantor set of positive Lebesgue measure is the arithmetic sum of two central Cantor sets of Lebesgue measure zero. Under some mild condition this result can be strengthened by stating that the summands can be chosen to be C s regular if the initial set is of this class.
Solutions of nonlinear PDEs in the sense of averages
2012
Abstract We characterize p-harmonic functions including p = 1 and p = ∞ by using mean value properties extending classical results of Privaloff from the linear case p = 2 to all pʼs. We describe a class of random tug-of-war games whose value functions approach p-harmonic functions as the step goes to zero for the full range 1 p ∞ .
FROM DISCRETE KINETIC AND STOCHASTIC GAME THEORY TO MODELLING COMPLEX SYSTEMS IN APPLIED SCIENCES
2004
This paper deals with some methodological aspects related to the discretization of a class of integro-differential equations modelling the evolution of the probability distribution over the microscopic state of a large system of interacting individuals. The microscopic state includes both mechanical and socio-biological variables. The discretization of the microscopic state generates a class of dynamical systems defining the evolution of the densities of the discretized state. In general, this yields a system of partial differential equations replacing the continuous integro-differential equation. As an example, a specific application is discussed, which refers to modelling in the field of…
