Reprint of: Approximate Taylor methods for ODEs
2018
Abstract A new method for the numerical solution of ODEs is presented. This approach is based on an approximate formulation of the Taylor methods that has a much easier implementation than the original Taylor methods, since only the functions in the ODEs, and not their derivatives, are needed, just as in classical Runge–Kutta schemes. Compared to Runge–Kutta methods, the number of function evaluations to achieve a given order is higher, however with the present procedure it is much easier to produce arbitrary high-order schemes, which may be important in some applications. In many cases the new approach leads to an asymptotically lower computational cost when compared to the Taylor expansio…
Chi dà le ali alle parole? Il significato articolatorio di EPEA PTEROENTA
2002
Il contributo riguarda l'annoso problema interpretativo riguardante celebre formula omerica delle 'parole alate' (epea pteroenta). Dopo aver preso in considerazioni le diverse tesi critiche al riguado, l'autore conclude che. 1. la formula ha un contenuto proprio ed è semanticamente piena. Non è dunque vero che le formule omeriche sono semanticamente voute, come volva Parry. 2. essa è applicabile indifferentemente a tutte le situazioni di dialogo e a tutti contenuti enunciativi. Non è dunque vero che le parole alate sono tali, perché efficaci, ben indirizzate o altro. 3. La formula contiene una descrizione in miniatura della fisiologia di produzione della voce e del linguaggio. Non è dunque …
A Column Generation Approach to Scheduling of Periodic Tasks
2011
We present an algorithm based on column generation for a real time scheduling problem, in which all tasks appear regularly after a given period. Furthermore, the tasks exchange messages, which have to be transferred over a bus, if the tasks involved are executed on different ECUs. Experiments show that for large instances our preliminary implementation is faster than the previous approach based on an integer linear programming formulation using a state-of-the-art solver.
SrTiO3 Nanotubes with Negative Strain Energy Predicted from First Principles
2011
On the basis of hybrid density functional theory calculations, we predict that the most energetically favorable single-walled SrTiO3 nanotubes with negative strain energy can be folded from SrTiO3 (110) nanosheets of rectangular morphology. Further formation of multiwalled tubular nanostructure with interwall distance of ∼0.46 nm yields an additional gain in energy of 0.013 eV per formula unit. (The formation energy of the most stable nanotube is 1.36 eV/SrTiO3.) Because of increase in the Ti–O bond covalency in the outer shells, SrTiO3 nanotubes can demonstrate an enhancement of their adsorption properties. Quantum confinement leads to a widening of the energy band gap of single-walled SrT…
Mixed Probabilistic-Guaranteed Optimal Design
2009
This chapter deals with the mixed probabilistic-guaranteed approach to optimal design of quasi-brittle membrane shells. Special attention is devoted to different problem formulations and analytical methods for their solution. Optimal thickness distributions are presented for various axisymmetric membrane shells. The presentation follows research results of [BRS03b].
Optimization of structures with unrestricted dynamic shakedown constraints
2015
The unrestricted dynamic shakedown theory is here utilized with the aim to formulate different optimal design problems for structures mainly subjected to seismic loads. In particular, reference is made to plane frame structures constituted by elastic perfectly plastic material subjected to load combinations characterized by the presence of simultaneous fixed and seismic actions. The design problems, formulated on the ground of a statical approach, are devoted to structures with and without seismic protection devices, with special emphasis to seismic isolators. For the proposed design problem formulations different constraints are utilized; actually, for structures without protection devices…
Lower Rydberg series of methane: a combined coupled cluster linear response and molecular quantum defect orbital calculation.
2006
Vertical excitation energies as well as related absolute photoabsorption oscillator strength data are very scarce in the literature for methane. In this study, we have characterized the three existing series of low-lying Rydberg states of CH4 by computing coupled cluster linear response (CCLR) vertical excitation energies together with oscillator strengths in the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital formalism from a distorted Cs geometry selected on the basis of outer valence green function calculations. The present work provides a wide range of data of excitation energies and absolute oscillator strengths which correspond to the Rydberg series converging to the three lower ionization p…
In situ Mössbauer spectroscopy: Evidence for green rust (fougerite) in a gleysol and its mineralogical transformations with time and depth
2005
Abstract A miniaturized Mossbauer spectrometer, adapted to the Earth’s conditions from the instrument developed for Mars space missions, has been used for the first time to study in situ variations with depth and transformations with time of iron minerals in a gleysol. The instrument is set into a PVC tube and can be moved up and down precisely (±1 mm) at the desired depth. Mossbauer spectra were obtained from 15 to 106 cm depth and repeated exactly at the same point at different times to follow mineralogical transformations with time. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selective extraction techniques were performed on soil samples. The piezometric level of the water table was measured and the com…
Highly stable and porous porphyrin-based zirconium and hafnium phosphonates – electron crystallography as an important tool for structure elucidation
2018
The Ni-metallated porphyrin-based tetraphosphonic acid (Ni-tetra(4-phosphonophenyl)porphyrin, Ni-H8TPPP) was used for the synthesis of highly porous metal phosphonates containing the tetravalent cations Zr4+ and Hf4+. The compounds were thoroughly characterized regarding their sorption properties towards N2 and H2O as well as thermal and chemical stability. During the synthesis optimization the reaction time could be substantially decreased under stirring from 24 to 3 h in glass vials. M-CAU-30, [M2(Ni-H2TPPP)(OH/F)2]·H2O (M = Zr, Hf) shows exceptionally high specific surface areas for metal phosphonates of aBET = 1070 and 1030 m2 g-1 for Zr- and Hf-CAU-30, respectively, which are very clos…
