New Interpretative Scales for Lichen Bioaccumulation Data: The Italian Proposal
2019
The interpretation of lichen bioaccumulation data is of paramount importance in environmental forensics and decision-making processes. By implementing basic ideas underlying previous interpretative scales, new dimensionless, species-independent &ldquo
An overview on bounded elements in some partial algebraic structures
2015
The notion of bounded element is fundamental in the framework of the spectral theory. Before implanting a spectral theory in some algebraic or topological structure it is needed to establish which are its bounded elements. In this paper, we want to give an overview on bounded elements of some particular algebraic and topological structures, summarizing our most recent results on this matter.
Bounded elements in certain topological partial *-algebras
2011
We continue our study of topological partial *algebras, focusing our attention to the interplay between the various partial multiplications. The special case of partial *-algebras of operators is examined first, in particular the link between the strong and the weak multiplications, on one hand, and invariant positive sesquilinear (ips) forms, on the other. Then the analysis is extended to abstract topological partial *algebras, emphasizing the crucial role played by appropriate bounded elements, called $\M$-bounded. Finally, some remarks are made concerning representations in terms of the so-called partial GC*-algebras of operators.
Conflicting coccolithophore and geochemical evidence for productivity levels in the Eastern Mediterranean sapropel S1
2011
Abstract The cyclic development of anoxic conditions in the eastern Mediterranean deep sea waters is one of the most fascinating research topics in paleoceanographic studies. In combination with bottom water stagnation, enhanced primary production is a common explanation for the deposition of organic-rich layers (sapropels). This is supported by extensive evidence from both geochemical and micropaleontological studies. The correspondence of recent sapropel layers with peaks of the lower photic zone coccolithophore species Florisphaera profunda has been interpreted as a proxy for the development of a deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM), due to the pycnocline/nutricline shallowing into the lower p…
The M4 transitions of isomeric states
2015
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tutkitaan isomeeristen tilojen magneettisten M4-gammasiirtymien redusoituja matriisielementtejä. Tutkittavat siirtymät ovat venyneitä M4-siirtymiä kaksoisbeetahajoamisten massa-alueilla A=85-115 ja A=135-143. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on verrata kokeellisia ydinmatriisielementtejä kvasihiukkasmatriisielementteihin ja MQPM-teorian avulla laskettuihin matriisielementteihin. Kokeelliset matriisielementi lasketaan kokeellisesti määritettyjen arvojen avulla ja kvasihiukkas- sekä MQPM-matriisielementit määritetään tietokoneohjelmien avulla. Kokeellisten ja kvasihiukkasmatriisielementtien välinen suhde osoittautui olevan noin 0,29 ja kokeellisten ja MQPM-matriisielemen…

Lattice-constrained parametrizations of form factors for semileptonic and rare radiative B decays
1997
We describe the form factors for B to rho lepton neutrino and B to K* gamma decays with just two parameters and the two form factors for B to pi lepton neutrino with a further two or three parameters. The parametrizations are consistent with heavy quark symmetry, kinematic constraints and lattice results, which we use to determine the parameters. In addition, we test versions of the parametrizations consistent (or not) with light-cone sum rule scaling relations at q^2=0.
Analytical and Numerical Methods for the Evaluation of Critical Conditions in Longitudinal Bars of RC Columns
2017
Buckling collapse of reinforcing bars in concrete members is usually observed in framed structures after severe earthquakes. Second order effects modify the compressive response of steel bars, reducing ductility and affecting the post-elastic branch. Literature investigations show that instability can involve more stirrups, or it can be limited to the pitch. If the critical length is not carefully estimated, transverse steel’s failure can be achieved in brittle manner, causing the sudden loss of confinement in the inner concrete. This paper presents the results of a theoretical investigation, aiming to evaluate the reliability of different approaches for calculating critical conditions of l…

Radiation responses of Yb/Er-doped phosphosilicate optical fibers: hardening mechanisms related to Ce-codoping
2012
International audience; In this paper, we investigated the origins of the Ce positive influence on the radiation response of Yb/Er-doped phosphosilicate optical fibers. To this purpose, we carried out during γ-irradiations an online characterization on active optical fiber prototypes, made with different Ce concentrations and integrated in optical amplifiers. The hardening effect of Ce-codoping is highlighted, as well as some aspects related to the radiation response of the phosphosilicate host glass of the active optical fibers.
