Persistence of Asteroids After a Close Encounter

1999

We present here a first approximation to the planar circular restricted 2 + 2 problem. In this four body problem, we consider that the two secondaries do not affect the primaries but they do influence each other. It can be seen as a model for near collision orbits of two asteroids if the primaries are the Sun and Jupiter ([3], [5]). In particular, we analyze the values of the Jacobi constant of the two asteroids before and after the close approach.

Kitkan vesiltä Pohjanlahden sahoille : Akanlahden tukinsiirtolaitokset 1893–1929

2011

1800-luvun jälkipuoliskolla puun kysyntä kasvoi ja kilpailu kiristyi, joten sahojen hankinta-alueet ulotettiin niin kauas kuin se vesistöjä myöten oli mahdollista. Yleensä rajat tulivat vastaan viimeistään vedenjakajan luona, mutta joissain tapauksissa ongelma ratkaistiin tukinsiirtolaitoksen avulla. Näin tehtiin myös Vienanmereen virtaavilla Kitkajärvillä, joista vuonna 1893 alettiin siirtää konevoimin tukkeja kapean kannaksen yli Iijoen vesistöön ja edelleen Pohjanlahdelle. Myöhemmin Akanlahdelle rakennettiin vielä kaksi muuta siirtolaitosta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää Akanlahden kahden ensimmäisen tukinsiirtolaitoksen toiminta vuosina 1893–1929. Näkökulma on ensisijaisesti mi…

Determining seasonality of mussel collection from an early historic Inuit site, Labrador, Canada: Comparing thin-sections with high-resolution stable…

2018

International audience; Stable oxygen isotope (delta O-18) analysis of mussels (Mytilus sp.) from a 16th to mid-18th century Inuit site in southern Labrador, Canada, indicates multiple seasons of shellfish collection, and by proxy, multiple seasons of site occupation. High-resolution delta O-18 sampling of shell permits a precise season of mussel collection since the temperature and freshwater signal of the local water is retained in the shell. Live-collected specimens of Mytilus sp. obtained from Labrador, were analyzed for stable oxygen isotopes and for growth patterns. These data were used to interpret results from the archaeological shells. Growth pattern analysis was conducted to test …

Quantitative uniqueness estimates for pp-Laplace type equations in the plane

2016

Abstract In this article our main concern is to prove the quantitative unique estimates for the p -Laplace equation, 1 p ∞ , with a locally Lipschitz drift in the plane. To be more precise, let u ∈ W l o c 1 , p ( R 2 ) be a nontrivial weak solution to div ( | ∇ u | p − 2 ∇ u ) + W ⋅ ( | ∇ u | p − 2 ∇ u ) = 0  in  R 2 , where W is a locally Lipschitz real vector satisfying ‖ W ‖ L q ( R 2 ) ≤ M for q ≥ max { p , 2 } . Assume that u satisfies certain a priori assumption at 0. For q > max { p , 2 } or q = p > 2 , if ‖ u ‖ L ∞ ( R 2 ) ≤ C 0 , then u satisfies the following asymptotic estimates at R ≫ 1 inf | z 0 | = R sup | z − z 0 | 1 | u ( z ) | ≥ e − C R 1 − 2 q log R , where C > 0 depends …

The Latomiae of Syracuse: A Geotechnical Mapping Through Rock Reflectivity

2014

The archeological site of the Latomia del Paradiso (Syracuse) is endangered by severe instability phenomena due to the shape of walls and underground excava-tion related with the poor mechanical characteristics of the weathered and wet rock. The failure of huge blocks from the ceiling of the underground areas and the detaching of rock "flakes" from the walls surface make the geotechnical zon-ing particularly complex. the zoning is based on the characteristics of the rock wall surface that, in first approximation, can be distinguished in regularized sur-faces because of mining , and in irregular surfaces characterized by fracture prop-agation. The elaboration of reflectivity values obtained …

Did Brouwer’s Intuitionistic Analysis Satisfy Its Own Epistemological Standards?

2000

The aim of this essay is both historical and philosophical. On the histori. level, the following remarks are intended to contribute to a better understanding of the missing reception of the more advanced parts of Luitzen E. J. Brouwer’s intuitionistic mathematics. More precisely, I want to draw attention to a crucial technical difficulty in Brouwer’s treatment of the basic theorems of intuitionistic analysis. It concerns the (intuitionistic) proof of what Brouwer viewed as one of the cornerstones of intuitionistic set theory, the “fan theorem,” as it is often called today. This difficulty most probably presented a serious obstacle to contemporary attempts to understand Brouwer’s contributio…
