The Navier–Stokes equations in exterior Lipschitz domains: L -theory
2020
Abstract We show that the Stokes operator defined on L σ p ( Ω ) for an exterior Lipschitz domain Ω ⊂ R n ( n ≥ 3 ) admits maximal regularity provided that p satisfies | 1 / p − 1 / 2 | 1 / ( 2 n ) + e for some e > 0 . In particular, we prove that the negative of the Stokes operator generates a bounded analytic semigroup on L σ p ( Ω ) for such p. In addition, L p - L q -mapping properties of the Stokes semigroup and its gradient with optimal decay estimates are obtained. This enables us to prove the existence of mild solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in the critical space L ∞ ( 0 , T ; L σ 3 ( Ω ) ) (locally in time and globally in time for small initial data).
First signals of electrochemically oxidized species of TTF and TMT-TTF : a study by in situ spectroelectrochemical FTIR and DFT calculations
2003
A first study by in situ FTIR spectroelectrochemistry of TTF and TTM-TTF has been undertaken. The oxidation, in this case, is caused only by electrochemistry, which constitutes a clear advantage over chemical oxidation since no side products are present in the solution. In this context, we obtained the signals of neutral, radical cation, and dication species of TTF and TTM-TTF. The experimental conditions were chosen in order to avoid the possible formation of π-dimer species and to obtain a satisfactory signal-to-noise ratio. A weak signal was detected for TTF and a stronger one for TTM-TTF. The changes induced by the oxidation process in the IR spectra of TTF and TTM-TTF have been analyze…
Stimulated Raman and Cars Spectroscopy of ν1 and 2ν2 (A1) Bands of 12CF4
1994
Two experimental coherent Raman techniques, stimulated Raman and coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS), were employed to study the Raman spectrum of CF 4 in the 900 cm −1 region. The stimulated Raman and CARS spectra of the ν 1 band of CF 4 were recorded at high resolution. The analysis of these spectra enabled some spectroscopic constants of this band to be refined and higher order constants to be determined for the first time. The first high-resolution CARS spectrum of the 2ν 2 (A 1 ) harmonic band is also presented. The rotational transitions of this band up to J = 40 were assigned and the first set of spectroscopic constants for this sub-level were determined. These results imp…
The Transfer Function of Non-Stationary Indoor Channels and its Relationship to System Functions of LFMCW Radars
2021
This paper studies the relationship between the time-variant (TV) channel transfer function (CTF) of non-stationary indoor channels and the system functions of linear frequency modulated continuous waves (LFMCW) radars. To do so, we consider a moving person/object in indoor environments, which is modelled by a cluster of moving point scatterers. It is shown that the TVCTF can be obtained from the beat signal of LFMCW radar systems. Analytical expressions are derived for the TV demodulated radar response, the complex channel gain, and the TV Doppler-delay profile. A relationship between the presented results and existing non-stationary indoor channel models assuming pulsed wave systems is al…
Theoretical study on the influence of electric field direction on the photovoltaic performance of aryl amine organic dyes for dye-sensitized solar ce…
2019
It is very important to reveal the influence of different electric field directions on dye sensitizers. Thus, in this study, we investigated the electronic structures and optical properties of six designed aryl amine organic dye models under different electric fields using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Moreover, the electronic structures and optical properties of these studied dyes with different electric field in tetrahydrofuran (THF) were also calculated. The key parameters of the short-circuit current density (Jsc), including light harvesting efficiency (LHE) and intra-molecular charge transfer (ICT), are discussed in detail. With …
Metabolic impact of adult-onset, isolated, growth hormone deficiency (AOiGHD) due to destruction of pituitary somatotropes.
2011
Growth hormone (GH) inhibits fat accumulation and promotes protein accretion, therefore the fall in GH observed with weight gain and normal aging may contribute to metabolic dysfunction. To directly test this hypothesis a novel mouse model of adult onset-isolated GH deficiency (AOiGHD) was generated by cross breeding rat GH promoter-driven Cre recombinase mice (Cre) with inducible diphtheria toxin receptor mice (iDTR) and treating adult Cre(+/-), iDTR(+/-) offspring with DT to selectively destroy the somatotrope population of the anterior pituitary gland, leading to a reduction in circulating GH and IGF-I levels. DT-treated Cre(-/-), iDTR(+/-) mice were used as GH-intact controls. AOiGHD im…

Il contributo ripercorre le fasi di ricerca finalizzate allo studio del Teatro greco romano e dell'Odèon di Catania, alla caratterizzazione della forme di degradazione delle testimonianze archeologiche ed alla definizione di un progetto di conservazione integrata da nuovi innesti architettonici e da un programma di rifunzionalizzazione dell'intero complesso. The contribution traces the research phases aimed at the study of the Greek-Roman Theater and the Odèon of Catania, at the characterization of the forms of degradation of the archaeological remains, and at the definition of a conservation project integrated by new architectures and by a re-functionalization program of the whole complex.
The Electronic Structure of Hexagonal BaCoO3
1999
Abstract TB–LMTO–ASA band structure calculations within the local spin density approximation have been performed to explain the magnetic and transport properties of BaCoO3. The calculations predict a magnetic and metallic ground state as energetically favored. BaCoO3 shows no long-range magnetic ordering, however, and only poor conductivity. The magnetic energy is low and the compound shows glassy susceptibility behavior at low temperatures. From the band structure we find Mott–Hubbard localization to be unlikely, and instead propose Anderson localization as a possible origin of the observed behavior. Calculations on slightly distorted structures exclude the possibility of a Peierls distort…
Endometrial Receptivity in Natural and Controlled Ovarian-Stimulated Cycles
2011
The development of endometrial receptivity is a prerequisite for successful embryonic implantation in mammals. The receptive status is reached only during a short period of time in the midluteal phase, this being maximal 7 days after the endogenous peak of LH (LH+7), named as the window of implantation (WOI). At this time, the endometrial epithelium acquires the functional ability to support blastocyst adhesion. In ART, controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) induces lower implantation rates per embryo transferred than natural or ovum donation cycles, suggesting suboptimal endometrial development due to the abnormal endocrine/paracrine milieu. Researchers have investigated the functional genom…
Nierenfunktionspr�fung bei Ratten durch den Phenolsulfonphthalein-Test
1963
Ein Verfahren zur Durchfuhrung des Phenolsulfonphthalein-Testes an Ratten wird beschrieben. Die Tiere erhalten 5 mg Phenolsulfonphthalein/kg Korpergewicht als i.v. Injektion. 1 min und 10 min nach der Farbstoffgabe werden die Farbstoffkonzentrationen im Serum gemessen. Die Farbstoffretention nach 10 min ausgedruckt in Prozenten des 1 min-Wertes wird als Mas der Nierenfunktionsleistung angesehen.
