Rates of convergence to equilibrium for collisionless kinetic equations in slab geometry
2017
This work deals with free transport equations with partly diffuse stochastic boundary operators in slab geometry. Such equations are governed by stochastic semigroups in $L^{1}$ spaces$.\ $We prove convergence to equilibrium at the rate $O\left( t^{-\frac{k}{2(k+1)+1}}\right) \ (t\rightarrow +\infty )$ for $L^{1}$ initial data $g$ in a suitable subspace of the domain of the generator $T$ where $k\in \mathbb{N}$ depends on the properties of the boundary operators near the tangential velocities to the slab. This result is derived from a quantified version of Ingham's tauberian theorem by showing that $F_{g}(s):=\lim_{\varepsilon \rightarrow 0_{+}}\left( is+\varepsilon -T\right) ^{-1}g$ exists…
Subamorphous thermal conductivity of crystalline half-Heusler superlattices
2021
The quest to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit has mainly followed the roadmap of lowering the thermal conductivity while keeping unaltered the power factor of the material. Ideally an electron-crystal phonon-glass system is desired. In this work, we report an extraordinary reduction of the cross-plane thermal conductivity in crystalline (TiNiSn):(HfNiSn) half-Heusler superlattices (SLs). We create SLs with thermal conductivities below the effective amorphous limit, which is kept in a large temperature range (120–300 K). We measured thermal conductivity at room temperature values as low as 0.75 W m−1 K−1, the lowest thermal conductivity value reported so far for half-Heusler compou…
A simple algorithm for finding short sigma-definite representatives
2010
We describe a new algorithm which for each braid returns a quasi-geodesic sigma-definite word representative, defined as a braid word in which the generator sigma_i with maximal index i appears either only positively or only negatively.
Spray droplet characteristics measured using high speed imaging techniques
2016
Presented at Conference International Advances in Pesticide Application (IAPA), Barcelone, ESP (2016-01-13 - 2016-01-15).; International audience; Spray droplet characteristics are important features of an agricultural spray. The objective of this study is to measure the droplet size for different types of hydraulic spray nozzles using a developed backlighted image acquisition system and image processing technique. An in-focus droplet criterion was established to decide whether a droplet is in focus and can be measured in an accurate way. Tests included five different nozzles (Albuz ATR orange and red, TeeJet XR 110 01, XR 110 04 and Al 110 04).
Zenith distribution and flux of atmospheric muons measured with the 5-line ANTARES detector
2010
The ANTARES high energy neutrino telescope is a three-dimensional array of about 900 photomultipliers distributed over 12 mooring lines installed in the Mediterranean Sea. Between February and November 2007 it acquired data in a 5-line configuration. The zenith angular distribution of the atmospheric muon flux and the associated depth-intensity relation are measured and compared with previous measurements and Monte Carlo expectations. An evaluation of the systematic effects due to uncertainties on environmental and detector parameters is presented.

The Automated Emotional Music Generator With Emotion and Season Features
2013
Nowadays, there are various types of automated music generating systems to automatically compose music clips instantly; however, those randomly-generated music clips still sounded uncomfortable and discordant. This paper attempts to add with emotion and season features to assist automated music generating systems based on algorithm, and then tries to make all generative music clips sound with harmonious and emotional meaning to listeners. The automated music generator used in this topic is not only based on algorithm but also adopts Thayer’s emotional model as well as four season factors, so all music clips will not only express unique music emotions but also indicate all seasons which may …
Aperiodicity in finitely generated bi-ideals and bounded bi-ideals
2014
Disertācijā pētīts aperiodiskums divu vienpusēji bezgalīgu vārdu klašu – galīgi ģenerētu biideālu un ierobežotu bi-ideālu – kontekstā. Gan galīgi ģenerētus bi-ideālus, gan ierobežotus biideālus ir ērti uzdot, izmantojot bāzes virkni. Ierobežotu bi-ideālu gadījumā tiek nofiksēta galīga vārdu kopa, no kuras tiek uzģenerēta bāzes virkne. Savukārt galīgi ģenerētu bi-ideālu gadījumā bāzes virkne ir periodiska, līdz ar to var uzskatīt, ka ir dota galīga bāze. Efektīvā ģenerēšana un zināmie aperiodiskuma nosacījumi kalpo par motivāciju apskatīt galīgi ģenerētu bi-ideālu potenciālo pielietojumu kriptogrāfijā – aperiodisku gadījuma skaitļu ģenerēšanā. Savukārt, ierobežoti bi-ideāli ir galīgi ģenerēt…
Post-Processing via Cation Exchange Cartridges: Versatile Options
2012
New 68Ge/68Ga radionuclide generators provide the positron emitter 68Ga (T½ = 67.7 min) as an easily available and relatively inexpensive source of a PET nuclide for labeling of interesting targeting vectors. However, currently available “ionic” 68Ge/68Ga radionuclide generators are not necessarily optimized for the routine synthesis of 68Ga-labeled radiopharmaceuticals in a clinical environment. Post-processing of 68Ge/68Ga generators using cation exchange resins provides chemically and radiochemically pure 68Ga with 97±2% within less than 4 min, with 68Ge almost completely removed, and ready for online labeling. This simple, fast, and efficient technology can be extended for new applicati…
Ethanol-Based Post-processing of Generator-Derived 68Ga Toward Kit-Type Preparation of 68Ga-Radiopharmaceuticals
2014
Post-processing by means of a cation-exchanger–based protocol is an efficient strategy for purification and concentration of generator-derived 68Ga. It ensures the removal of 68Ge before 68Ga-radiopharmaceutical preparation and high labeling yields of 68Ga-labeled radiopharmaceuticals for routine medical application. Methods: In an effort to overcome the problem associated with acetone in the currently applied method, we have investigated the feasibility of replacing it with ethanol. The purification of 68Ga from coeluted metallic impurities (68Ge4+, Fe3+, Zn2+, and Ti4+) on various cation-exchange columns has been investigated with a variety of post-processing solutions. As a proof of prin…
