Some local properties defining $T_0$-groups and related classes of groups
2016
[EN] We call G a Hall_X -group if there exists a normal nilpotent subgroup N of G for which G/N' is an X -group. We call G a T0 -group provided G/\Phi(G) is a T -group, that is, one in which normality is a transitive relation. We present several new local classes of groups which locally define Hall_X -groups and T_0 -groups where X ∈ {T , PT , PST }; the classes PT and PST denote, respectively, the classes of groups in which permutability and S-permutability are transitive relations.
On the volume of unit vector fields on spaces of constant sectional curvature
2004
A unit vector field X on a Riemannian manifold determines a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle. The volume of X is the volume of this submanifold for the induced Sasaki metric. It is known that the parallel fields are the trivial minima.
Paramagnetic Mono- and Polyhydrides of the Transition Metals
2001
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the methods used for the synthesis or generation of paramagnetic hydride complexes. It subsequently surveys the known classes of stable open-shell hydride complexes. The chapter also reveals the fundamental properties of the M–H bond in open-shell compounds and finally examines the various established decomposition modes. The classical picture of the terminal M–H bond is that where the hydrogen atom is orbital and combines with an appropriate metal-fragment hybrid orbital to generate the bonding and antibonding combinations. The chapter also elaborates the paramagnetic hydride complexes, which are thermally sensitive compounds and are unstable toward a…
Recommendations for neonatologists and pediatricians working in first level birthing centers on the first communication of genetic disease and malfor…
2021
Abstract Background Genetic diseases are chronic conditions with relevant impact on the lives of patients and their families. In USA and Europe it is estimated a prevalence of 60 million affected subjects, 75% of whom are in developmental age. A significant number of newborns are admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) for reasons different from prematurity, although the prevalence of those with genetic diseases is unknown. It is, then, common for the neonatologist to start a diagnostic process on suspicion of a genetic disease or malformation syndrome, or to make and communicate these diagnoses. Many surveys showed that the degree of parental satisfaction with the methods of c…
Identification of Distributed Systems with Logical Interaction Structure
2012
This paper focuses on the structure identification problem for a class of networked systems, where the interaction among components or agents is described through logical maps. In particular, agents are heterogeneous cooperating systems, i.e. they may have different individual dynamics and different interaction rules depending on input events. While we assume that the individual agents' dynamics are known, each agent has partial knowledge of the logical map encoding the interaction of another agent with its neighbors. Based on the so-called algebraic normal form for binary functions, we present a technique by which the network structure described by a logical function can be dynamically est…
Deep inelastic scattering in the dipole picture at next-to-leading order
2017
We study quantitatively the importance of the recently derived NLO corrections to the DIS structure functions at small x in the dipole formalism. We show that these corrections can be significant and depend on the factorization scheme used to resum large logarithms of energy into renormalization group evolution with the BK equation. This feature is similar to what has recently been observed for single inclusive forward hadron production. Using a factorization scheme consistent with the one recently proposed for the single inclusive cross section, we show that it is possible to obtain meaningful results for the DIS cross sections.
Global effective-field-theory analysis of new-physics effects in (semi)leptonic kaon decays
2016
We analyze the decays $K\to\pi\ell\nu$ and $P\to\ell\nu$ ($P=K,\pi$, $\ell=e,\,\mu$) using a low-energy Effective-Field-Theory approach to parametrize New Physics and study the complementarity with baryon $\beta$ decays. We then provide a road map for a global analysis of the experimental data, with all the Wilson coefficients simultaneously, and perform a fit leading to numerical bounds for them and for $V_{us}$. A prominent result of our analysis is a reinterpretation of the well-known $V_{ud}-V_{us}$ diagram as a strong constraint on new physics. Finally, we reinterpret our bounds in terms of the $SU(2)_L\times~U(1)_Y$-invariant operators, provide bounds to the corresponding Wilson coeff…
Global vegetation monitoring through multitemporal analysis of pathfinder AVHRR land database
2005
We have applied a Land Surface Temperature algorithm to the whole Pathfinder AVHRR Land (PAL) database, aiming at studying the evolution of the vegetation at a global scale. The Land Surface Temperature parameter, along with NDVI, will allow retrieving vegetation changes between July 1981 and September 2001. We have also built a classification which takes into account both vegetation variations and thermal patterns, from NDVI and Air Temperature at 2 meters height data. This classification allows differentiating areas which present close vegetation changes throughout the year, but totally different climates, as for example in mountainous and semiarid regions. The main quality of this classi…
Imaging in Prune Belly Syndrome and Other Syndromes Affecting the Urogenital Tract
2018
The absence of the abdominal musculature, urinary tract dilatation, and bilateral undescended testis is known as prune belly syndrome (PBS) (Eagle and Barrett 1950; Greskovich and Nyberg 1988; Williams 1982). The classical syndrome is also known as triad syndrome, Eagle-Barrett syndrome, or abdominal muscular deficiency syndrome. There is a broad spectrum of malformations with severe dilatation of the urinary tract as a consequence of aplasia of the musculature. The pathogenetic mechanism is different from that of dilatation as a consequence of supra- or infravesical obstruction. Some patients with prune belly syndrome have a real obstruction, such as urethral aplasia with oligohydramnios s…
Multiple congenital contractures (Congenital multiple arthrogryposis)
2002
Arthrogryposis, is the occurrence of joint contractures of variable etiology that start prenatally. Arthrogryposis may result from neurologic deficit, neuromuscular disorders, connective tissue abnormalities, amniotic bands, [figure: see text] or fetal crowding. Arthrogryposis may result from no apparent hereditary causes (neuropathic, for example) or may be the result of hereditary factors (myopathic form, for example). Ultrasound diagnosis depends on observation of scant or absent motion of fetal extremities. Prognosis depends on the specific etiology of the contractures.
