Existence of three solutions for a mixed boundary value system with (p_1,...,p_m)-Laplacian

2014

In this paper we prove the existence of at least three weak solutions for a mixed boundary value system with (p_1,,...,p_m)-Laplacian. The approach is based on variational methods.

Geostatistics for Mapping Leaf Area Index over a Cropland Landscape: Efficiency Sampling Assessment

2010

This paper evaluates the performance of spatial methods to estimate leaf area index (LAI) fields from ground-based measurements at high-spatial resolution over a cropland landscape. Three geostatistical model variants of the kriging technique, the ordinary kriging (OK), the collocated cokriging (CKC) and kriging with an external drift (KED) are used. The study focused on the influence of the spatial sampling protocol, auxiliary information, and spatial resolution in the estimates. The main advantage of these models lies in the possibility of considering the spatial dependence of the data and, in the case of the KED and CKC, the auxiliary information for each location used for prediction pur…

KERNEL ESTIMATION OF THE TRANSITION DENSITY IN BIFURCATING MARKOV CHAINS

2023

We study the kernel estimator of the transition density of bifurcating Markov chains. Under some ergodic and regularity properties, we prove that this estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. Next, in the numerical studies, we propose two data-driven methods to choose the bandwidth parameters. These methods are based on the so-called two bandwidths approach.

Financial Fragmentation and Economic Growth in Europe

2015

Using industry data from Eurostat and applying the Rajan-Zingales methodology, we investigate the real growth effects of banking sector integration in the European Union. Our sample stretches from 2000 until 2012 and includes the phase of rapid financial integration before the global financial crisis as well as the following phase of financial fragmentation and bank deleveraging. We find evidence that banking sector integration had a more than four times stronger growth effect during the crisis than in normal times. Growth effects are also stronger in times of domestic bank deleveraging. We conclude that concerns of European policy makers about fragmentation in the European banking sector a…

Polymorphism and versatile solvate formation of thiophanate-methyl

2009

The polymorphism of a fungicide, thiophanate-methyl (TM), was investigated with conventional solvent screening methods. Two polymorphs, the thermodynamically most stable form I and the less stable form II, were found. TM was also found to crystallize as a plethora of different solvates which produced mostly form II upon desolvation. The structures of form I and form II and the fourteen discovered solvates were solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The most stable forms were further characterized by powder diffraction, thermoanalytical (TG/DTA, DSC and thermomicroscopy) and spectroscopic (IR, Raman, ¹³C CP/MAS NMR) methods. peerReviewed

A computational framework for microstructural modelling of polycrystalline materials with damage and failure

2017

In the present thesis, a computational framework for the analysis of the deformation and damage phenomena occurring at the scale of the constituent grains of polycrystalline materials is presented. The research falls within the area of Computational Micro-mechanics that has been attracting remarkable technological interest due to the capability of explaining the link between the micro-structural details of heterogenous materials and their macroscopic response, and the possibility of fine-tuning the macroscopic properties of engineered components through the manipulation of their micro-structure. However, despite the significant developments in the field of materials characterisation and the…

Geometrical and conformational preferences of the 9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl‐amino moiety

2004

Structural parameters, originating from x-ray crystallographic data, have been compiled for 13 derivatives of amino acids, peptides and related compounds, which contain a total of 14 Fmoc-NH- moieties. For these moieties, molecular geometries and conformations--described by the omegao, theta1, theta2 and theta3' torsion angles--were analysed and compared with the corresponding parameters for the Z-NH- and Boc-NH-moieties (290 and 553, respectively). To gain a deeper insight into the conformational features of the Fmoc-NH- moiety, ab initio free molecule calculations were performed for fully relaxed minima. Also the potential energy surface as a function of the torsion angles (theta3', theta…

Kultūras reāliju tulkošana no latviešu uz angļu valodu tekstos par latviešu dzīvestilu

2017

Maģistra darba nosaukums ir "Kultūras reāliju tulkošana no latviešu uz angļu valodu tekstos par latviešu dzīvesstilu." Šajā darbā tiek iztirzāta kultūras reālijas definīcija un klasifikācija, kā arī galvenās problēmas un stratēģijas kā tulkot kultūras reāliju, un sasniegt līdzvērtību mērķa valodā. Tiek apskatīta arī tulka kā vidutāja starp kultūrām loma. Lai redzētu, kā kultūras reālijas tiek tulkotas, ir izmantoti dažādi piemēri no drukātajiem tūristu ceļvežiem, grāmatām un internetā pieejamajiem materiāliem. Maģistra darbā tiek analizēts, kuras stratēģijas ir izmantotas un vai tās var izmantot arī konferenču tulki. Pētījumi ir vērsti uz divu veidu kultūras reālijām: tradicionālie latviešu…

Promoting the Cultural Understanding of a Student in a General Education School: Teachers’ Experiences and Challenges

2020

Cultural understanding is a basis for competence-oriented general education. Teachers are responsible for applied content and methods that are used to purposefully lead school students to that result.The aim of this study is to identify actual goals for the development of teacher education curriculum, professional development, and teaching aids by investigating in-service teachers’ challenges in the successful promotion of students’ cultural understanding in general schools.The readiness of teachers to promote the cultural understanding of primary school students was explored in a mixed-methods study. The findings indicated aspects that teachers consider relevant as well as the main problem…
