Žanru iezīmes audzinošajos romānos (Bildungsroman) mūsdienu krievu literatūrā.

2018

Maģistra darbā tiek pētīta žanru konvencija trīs mūsdienu krievu audzināšanas romānos – N.Gorlanovas un V.Bukura “Audzināšanas romānā”, A.Slapovska “Feniksa sindromā” un O.Breiningeras “Padomju Savienībā adderola nebija”. Autors, pamatojoties uz Bildungsroman žanram veltītiem zinātniskiem pētījumiem, apraksta audzināšanas romāna žanra iezīmes diahroniskā perspektīvā, aplūko romāna izcelsmi un turpmāko attīstību Eiropā, atklāj atšķirīgus audzināšanas romāna veidus (apakštipus) un tā invariantās formas. Tādējādi ir iespēja identificēt gan tradicionālās žanru konvencijas mūsdienu krievu literatūras tekstos, gan arī noteikt katra analizējamā literārā darba pieskaitāmību kādai no Bildungsroman i…

Postfazione a E. C. Osondu, Quando il cielo vuole spuntano le stelle

2020

The Postface to E. C. Osondu's most recent novel offers a commentary on this Bildungsroman, whose protagonist is a young man from an unknown African country who leaves home behind to reach Europe hoping in a better world. Although narrated in a lyrical tone, the protagonist's epic journey resonates with the actual stories of the uncountable young African men who in the past years have crossed the Black Mediterranean.

Interaction of Au16 Nanocluster with Defects in Supporting Graphite: A Density-Functional Study

2011

Soft-landed adsorption of Au-16 on bilayered graphene is investigated using density functional theory. The orientation of the Au-16 cluster and number of neighboring surface vacancies affect the overall structural and electronic properties of the cluster. The results of the PBE, vdW-DF, and vdW-DF2 exchange-correlation functionals are compared for the cluster-substrate interaction for systems with and without defects. In the presence of defects size two and greater, an Au atom adsorbs into the topmost graphene layer; this strongly influences the binding energy (>3 eV), while inducing substantial bending in the carbon plane and altering electronic properties of the system. Though the T-d-sym…

Halogen Bonded Analogues of Deep Cavity Cavitands

2014

The first examples of halogen bonded analogues of deep cavity cavitands with guest binding properties, formed between N-alkyl ammonium resorcinarene halides as acceptors and bromotrichloromethane as the donor, are reported in the solid state and in solution.

Computation of Unstable Binodals Not Requiring Concentration Derivatives of the Gibbs Energy

1998

The equilibrium of three liquid phases in a binary mixture implies the existence of tie lines and binodals that are different from the normal experimentally observable ones. First of all, there are the metastable extensions of the binodal built up by S/S tie lines. These S/S tie lines fulfill the equilibrium condition of the minimum of the Gibbs energy of the entire two-phase system. Both coexisting phases are located within the meta(stable) region. There are two additional types of tie lines:  U/U (maximum of the Gibbs energy; both end points within the unstable area) and U/S tie lines (saddle point; one end point within the (meta)stable, the other within the unstable region). All types of…

Splittings of Toric Ideals

2019

Let $I \subseteq R = \mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a toric ideal, i.e., a binomial prime ideal. We investigate when the ideal $I$ can be "split" into the sum of two smaller toric ideals. For a general toric ideal $I$, we give a sufficient condition for this splitting in terms of the integer matrix that defines $I$. When $I = I_G$ is the toric ideal of a finite simple graph $G$, we give additional splittings of $I_G$ related to subgraphs of $G$. When there exists a splitting $I = I_1+I_2$ of the toric ideal, we show that in some cases we can describe the (multi-)graded Betti numbers of $I$ in terms of the (multi-)graded Betti numbers of $I_1$ and $I_2$.

Hybrid assemblies based on a gadolinium-containing polyoxometalate and a cationic polymer with spermine side chains for enhanced MRI contrast agents.

2013

Supramolecular assembly: Spherical and stable hybrid assemblies based on a cationic polymer with spermine side chains and an anionic Gd(3+)-containing polyoxometalate cluster (GdW) are prepared by electrostatic interaction. The T1-weighted MRI performance of GdW is enhanced about three times in the assemblies; meanwhile, the assemblies show good biocompatibility, which enables them to be promising candidates for MRI contrast agents.

Study of the chemical, physical and functional properties of edible starch-based films

2016

The amount of waste increased annually, mainly from plastic industry. Plastic materials were more produced during the only last ten years than during the last millennium. A potential solution of the ecological and economic problems can be biodegradable or edible films and coatings. The goal of this thesis was to study edible films and coatings based on starch. Fifteen types of film-forming solutions were made: 3 types of starch, starch + different amounts of plasticizer, starch + proteins, starch + oil. To better understanding the interaction between film components, physical, chemical and functional tests were done. Finnaly, validation on real foods (plums) as coatings and films helped to …
