High oxidation state aqueous organometallics: synthesis and structure of a dinuclear oxo(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)acetato complex of molybdenum(IV…

2003

International audience; The zinc reduction of Cp*2Mo2O5 in a MeOH–H2O mixture in the presence of acetic acid affords the diamagnetic dinuclear compound [Cp*MoO(O2CCH3)]2. An X-ray structural investigation reveals a novel dioxo- and diacetato-bridged structure, with a relatively strong metal–metal bond [2.5524(3) Å]. The compound exhibits a reversible one-electron oxidation process in the cyclic voltammogram. A comparison with other related structures reveals the effect of the electric charge on the mononuclear or dinuclear structural choice.Zinc reduction of Cp*2Mo2O5 in water–methanol in the presence of acetic acid affords compound Cp*2Mo2O2(O2CCH3)2, whose dinuclar tetrabridged structure …

Experimental and numerical evaluation of sandwich composite structures

2004

The main problem working with sandwich composite structures is their intrinsic anisotropy and non-homogeneity that does not allow their correct modelling. Nowadays the available data on mechanical properties of complex structures, necessary to allow a correct and reliable design, are not sufficient. The aim of the present work is to extend the knowledge of mechanical properties both on single components and on complete structures, focusing on the effects induced by different kind of skin arrangements (Kevlar, glass and carbon fibres). Compressive, shear and flexural tests were performed for a complete static mechanical characterisation of the sandwich structure both on each single component…

Stability of solution for Rao-Nakra sandwich beam model with Kelvin-Voigt damping and time delay

2022

This paper deals with stability of solution for a one-dimensional model of Rao?Nakra sandwich beam with Kelvin?Voigt damping and time delay given by ??1?1?????? ? ??1?1?????? ? ??(??? + ?? + ??????) ? ?????????? ? ??????????( ? , ?? ? ??) = 0, ??3?3?????? ? ??3?3?????? + ??(??? + ?? + ??????) ? ?????????? = 0, ????????? + ?????????????? ? ????(??? + ?? + ??????)?? ? ?????????? = 0. A sandwich beam is an engineering model that consists of three layers: two stiff outer layers, bottom and top faces, and a more compliant inner layer called ?core layer?. Rao?Nakra system consists of three layers and the assumption is that there is no slip at the interface between contacts. The top and bottom lay…

Induced smoothing in LASSO regression

The thesis is being carried out with the National research Council at the Institute of Biomedicine and Molecular Immunology "Alberto Monroy" of Palermo, where I am a fellow, under the supervision of MD Stefania La Grutta. Our research unit is focused on clinical research in allergic respiratory problems in children. In particular, we are interested in to assess the determinants of impaired lung function in a sample of outpatient asthmatic children aged between 5 and 17 years enrolled from 2011 to 2017. Our dataset is composed by n = 529 children and several covariates regarding host and environmental factors. This thesis focuses on hypothesis testing in lasso regression, when one is interes…

An FPGA based Topological Processor Prototype for the ATLAS Level-1 Trigger Upgrade

2012

By 2014 the LHC will collide proton bunches at 14TeV with an increased instantaneous luminosity up to 3·10³⁴cm⁻²s⁻¹. The resulting higher event rate will challenge the existing ATLAS trigger system. A reduction on the trigger rate can be achieved by selecting interesting channels based on their expected decay topology and thus reducing background. This will be achieved by introducing of a new FPGA based module in the Level-1 trigger: the Topological Processor L1Topo. With L1Topo it will be possible for the first time to concentrate detailed information from the entire calorimeters and the muon detector into a single module. L1Topo will receive a total aggregate bandwidth of 1Tb/s. The data …

Ultrascale+ for the new ATLAS calorimeter trigger board dedicated to jet identification

2018

To cope with the expected increase in luminosity at the Large Hadron Collider in 2021, the ATLAS collaboration is planning a major detector upgrade to be installed during Long Shutdown 2. As a part of this, the Level 1 trigger, based on calorimeter data, will be upgraded to exploit the fine granularity readout using a new system of Feature EXtractors (FEXs), which each reconstruct different physics objects for the trigger selection. The Jet FEX (jFEX) is one of three FEXs and has been conceived to identify small/large area jets, large area tau leptons, missing transverse energy and the total sum of the transverse energy. The use of the latest generation Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array …

Metallatomsynthese, Eigenschaften und Struktur von μ 2 ‐(η 3 ,η 3 ‐Toluol)bis[(η 6 ‐toluol)eisen](Fe‐Fe)

1995

Metal Atom Synthesis, Properties, and Structure of μ2(η3,η3-Toluene)bis[(η6-toluene)iron](Fe-Fe) Metal atom cocondensation of iron atoms and toluene produces the mononuclear iron sandwich compound [(η6-toluene)(η4-toluene)Fe] 1. Complex 1 reacts with a palette of N-containing ligands such as primary, secondary, and tertiary amines as well as pyridine, pyrrolidine, and tmeda to form highly reactive instable intermediates. In the temperature range from -80 to -30°C, the proposed intermediates react with toluene to form the first homoleptic Fe/toluene complex μ2-(η3η3-toluene)-bis[(η6-toluene)iron](Fe-Fe) (3) regardless which N-containing ligand is used. Additionally, 3 is also formed when eth…

Near IR stationary wave Fourier transform lambda meter in lithium niobate: multiplexing and improving optical sampling using spatially shifted nanogr…

2021

Several integrated optics solutions currently exist to develop monolithic, robust, and lightweight high-resolution spectrometers for spatial applications. An interesting option is generating a stationary wave inside a single-mode waveguide, and sampling the interference fringes using dielectric discontinuities on the surface of the waveguide. This allows the recording of the signal on a detector on top of the waveguide, and using dedicated Fourier transform methods to recover the spectrum of the source. All the difficulty is then linked to the length of the interferogram that is sampled. This determines the spectral resolution and the spacing between sampling centers, which are ultimately l…

Performance and Implementation Modeling of Gated Linear Networks on FPGA for Lossless Image Compression

2020

Over recent years, imaging systems have seen explosive increase in resolution. These trends present a challenge for resource-constrained embedded imaging devices. Efficient image compression is essential to reduce bandwidth consumption and to increase the capability of on-board storage. Especially, for imaging systems where information loss is not allowed, for example, in medical, military and remote sensing imaging systems. This paper explores the use of Gated Linear Networks (GLNs) for development of embedded lossless compression systems. GLNs have proved themselves via PAQ archiver series, that have been ranked among the top across several lossless compression benchmarks. We propose an a…
