Convergence of GBS Operators
2018
In [59, 60], Bogel introduced a new concept of Bogel-continuous and Bogel-differentiable functions and also established some important theorems using these concepts. Dobrescu and Matei [80] showed the convergence of the Boolean sum of bivariate generalization of Bernstein polynomials to the B-continuous function on a bounded interval. Subsequently, Badea and Cottin [46] obtained Korovkin theorems for GBS operators.
Nonlinear systems solver in floating-point arithmetic using LP reduction
2009
This paper presents a new solver for systems of nonlinear equations. Such systems occur in Geometric Constraint Solving, e.g., when dimensioning parts in CAD-CAM, or when computing the topology of sets defined by nonlinear inequalities. The paper does not consider the problem of decomposing the system and assembling solutions of subsystems. It focuses on the numerical resolution of well-constrained systems. Instead of computing an exponential number of coefficients in the tensorial Bernstein basis, we resort to linear programming for computing range bounds of system equations or domain reductions of system variables. Linear programming is performed on a so called Bernstein polytope: though,…
L'orizzonte del senso. Verità e mondo in Bloch, Merleau-Ponty, Paci
2005
. Il libro raccoglie e rielabora gli studi composti tra il 2003 e il 2005. Il senso e l'orizzonte costituiscono il filo conduttore dei tre percorsi critici qui proposti. Essi sono accomunati dal taglio fenomenologico dell'analisi e dall'intento di focalizzare il movimento di pensiero che si snoda negli itinerari speculativi dei pensatori rivisitati, nei quali la verità si incontra e si scontra prassicamente col mondo, finendo comunque per sopravanzarlo. Ciò avviene sia nella filosofia della speranza di Ernst Bloch, sia nell'esistenzialismo di Maurice Merleau-Ponty, sia infine nel relazionismo di Enzo Paci. La novità dell'intepretazione di Bloch è costituita dall'individuazione di due differ…
Mantrana. Un gioco
2020
Mantrana è una collezione di aforismi che costituisce una “magica enciclopedia” del sapere. Ciascun Mantra – in sé autonomo – è ordinato tematicamente insieme ad altri a formare diverse raccolte. Mantrana, però, è anche una sorta di domino in cui ogni giocatore può disporre i Mantra a proprio piacimento. Può dare agli uni la precedenza nei tempi rispetto agli altri, trovare nuove relazioni tra i Mantra e allinearli diversamente. È come cercare conchiglie sulla spiaggia, disporle secondo motivi e scompigliarle di nuovo: il gioco vive proprio di questo.

Bayesian inference for the extremal dependence
2016
A simple approach for modeling multivariate extremes is to consider the vector of component-wise maxima and their max-stable distributions. The extremal dependence can be inferred by estimating the angular measure or, alternatively, the Pickands dependence function. We propose a nonparametric Bayesian model that allows, in the bivariate case, the simultaneous estimation of both functional representations through the use of polynomials in the Bernstein form. The constraints required to provide a valid extremal dependence are addressed in a straightforward manner, by placing a prior on the coefficients of the Bernstein polynomials which gives probability one to the set of valid functions. The…
Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer in Corrugated-Undulated Plate Heat Exchangers
2000
An experimental and numerical investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow was conducted for corrugated-undulated plate heat exchanger configurations under transitional and weakly turbulent conditions. For a given geometry of the corrugated plates the geometrical characteristics of the undulated plates, the angle formed by the latter with the main flow direction, and the Reynolds number were made to vary. Distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were obtained by using liquid-crystal thermography, and surface-averaged values were computed; friction coefficients were measured by wall pressure tappings. Overall heat transfer and pressure drop correlations were derived. Three-dimen…

Tetraalkylammonium Cations Conduction through a Single Nanofluidic Diode: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
2017
[EN] We describe experimentally and theoretically the concentration-dependent conduction of tetraalkylammonium (TAA+) cations through a nanofluidic diode fabricated in a polymer membrane via asymmetric track-etching techniques. This single-pore membrane exhibits current rectification characteristics because of the ionized carboxylate groups on the pore surface. We use aqueous solutions of potassium (K+ ), ammonium (A+ ), tetramethylammonium (TMA+ ), tetraethylammonium (TEA+ ), and tetrabutylammonium (TBA+ ) ions with concentrations ranging from 50 to 500 mM under acidic (pH 3.5) and physiological (pH 6.5) conditions. Compared with the K+ and A+ ions, the TMA+ , TEA+ , and TBA+ ions show rel…
Calcium binding and ionic conduction in single conical nanopores with polyacid chains: model and experiments.
2012
Calcium binding to fixed charge groups confined over nanoscale regions is relevant to ion equilibrium and transport in the ionic channels of the cell membranes and artificial nanopores. We present an experimental and theoretical description of the dissociation equilibrium and transport in a single conical nanopore functionalized with pH-sensitive carboxylic acid groups and phosphonic acid chains. Different phenomena are simultaneously present in this basic problem of physical and biophysical chemistry: (i) the divalent nature of the phosphonic acid groups fixed to the pore walls and the influence of the pH and calcium on the reversible dissociation equilibrium of these groups; (ii) the asym…
