Stability of moving viscoelastic panels interacting with surrounding fluid
2012
We study a model describing the out-of-plane vibrations of an axially moving viscoelastic panel submerged in flowing fluid. The panel is assumed to travel at a constant velocity between two fixed supports, and it is modeled as a flat panel made of viscoelastic Kelvin-Voigt material. The fluid flow is modeled with the help of the added mass coefficients. The resulting dynamic equation is a partial differential equation of fifth order in space. Five boundary conditions are set for the studied problem. The behavior of the panel is analyzed with the help of its eigenvalues (eigenfrequencies). These characteristics are studied with respect to the velocity of the panel. In our study, we have incl…
The mass-hierarchy and CP-violation discovery reach of the LBNO long-baseline neutrino experiment.
2014
The next generation neutrino observatory proposed by the LBNO collaboration will address fundamental questions in particle and astroparticle physics. The experiment consists of a far detector, in its first stage a 20 kt LAr double phase TPC and a magnetised iron calorimeter, situated at 2300 km from CERN and a near detector based on a high-pressure argon gas TPC. The long baseline provides a unique opportunity to study neutrino flavour oscillations over their 1st and 2nd oscillation maxima exploring the $L/E$ behaviour, and distinguishing effects arising from $\delta_{CP}$ and matter. In this paper we have reevaluated the physics potential of this setup for determining the mass hierarchy (M…
Probabilistic foundations of contextuality
2017
Contextuality is usually defined as absence of a joint distribution for a set of measurements (random variables) with known joint distributions of some of its subsets. However, if these subsets of measurements are not disjoint, contextuality is mathematically impossible even if one generally allows (as one must) for random variables not to be jointly distributed. To avoid contradictions one has to adopt the Contextuality-by-Default approach: measurements made in different contexts are always distinct and stochastically unrelated to each other. Contextuality is reformulated then in terms of the (im)possibility of imposing on all the measurements in a system a joint distribution of a particul…
Conditional convex orders and measurable martingale couplings
2014
Strassen's classical martingale coupling theorem states that two real-valued random variables are ordered in the convex (resp.\ increasing convex) stochastic order if and only if they admit a martingale (resp.\ submartingale) coupling. By analyzing topological properties of spaces of probability measures equipped with a Wasserstein metric and applying a measurable selection theorem, we prove a conditional version of this result for real-valued random variables conditioned on a random element taking values in a general measurable space. We also provide an analogue of the conditional martingale coupling theorem in the language of probability kernels and illustrate how this result can be appli…
Heterogeeniset katalyytit Suzuki-Miyaura -kytkennässä
2016
Suzuki-Miyaura kytkentä on yksi tärkeistä orgaanisen kemian työkaluista, jolla saadaan integroitua hiili-hiilisidoksia molekyyleihin. Tämä palladiumkatalysoitu reaktio on kiinnostanut tutkijoita sen helppouden ja käytännöllisyyden takia jo muutaman vuosikymmenen ajan. Reaktiossa on mahdollista käyttää mm. homogeenisiä katalyyttejä, eli katalyyttejä, jotka sekoittuvat reaktioseokseen eli ovat samassa faasissa (neste/neste) tai heterogeenisiä katalyyttejä, jotka eivät sekoitu reaktioseokseen eli ovat eri faaseissa (neste/kiinteä). Homogeeniset Pd-katalyytit ovat olleet käytössä pitkään mutta niiden käyttöä varjostaa mm. palladiumjäämät reaktioseokseen ja katalyytin erottamisen vaikeus samasta…
Strategic interactions on differentiated markets and public policies
2017
In economy, the competition analysis among firms have a significance importance because of the complexity of some elements. This thesis examines the strategic interactions on differentiated markets in general equilibrium while proposing the public policies to reduce the distortions due to the imperfect behaviors. This thesis takes into account the differentiation of products in order to obtain the new conclusions and/or to extend those existing. We thus pursues two objectives. Fisrt, the construction of a model of imperfect competition on differentiated markets in a general equilibrium framework. Second, the evaluation of the consequences of the model in terms of economic policies. At begin…
Carbon nanotube field-effect devices with asymmetric electrode configuration by contact geometry
2014
We have studied experimentally the conductive properties of single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) based field-effect type devices, with different contact geometries at the connecting electrode. The device designs are asymmetric with one end of the SWNT having the metal electrode deposited on top and immersing it, while at the other end, the SWNT is on top of the electrode. The devices were made with either gold or palladium as electrode materials, of which the latter resulted in different behavior of the different contact types. This is argued to be caused by the existence of a thin insulating layer of surface adsorbents on the palladium, possibly Pd5O4, the effect of which is enhanced by th…
Analyyttinen jatke ja Riemannin pinnat
2014
Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on esittää, miten analyyttisen funktion määrittelyjoukko laajennetaan Riemannin pinnaksi, joka sisältää informaation kaikista funktion analyyttisistä jatkeista kompleksitasossa. Tätä Riemannin pintaa sanotaan kyseisen analyyttisen funktion Riemannin pinnaksi. Konstruktiota varten täytyy ensin tarkastella analyyttisen jatkeen käyttäytymistä kompleksitasossa, Riemannin pintojen ja kompleksitason välistä yhteyttä sekä perusryhmän ja peitteiden käyttäytymistä Riemannin pintojen kontekstissa. Erityisesti tarkastellaan miten useat kompleksianalyysin perustulokset yleistyvät suoraan Riemannin pinnoille ja Riemannin pintojen analyyttisille funktioille sekä sitä, milloin…
Foldameerien isäntä-vieraskemia
2017
Tutkielman kirjallisessa osassa tarkastellaan foldameerejä isäntä-vieraskemian näkökulmasta. Foldameerit voivat sitoa rakenteeseensa erilaisia vierasmolekyylejä, jolloin muodostuu isäntä-vieraskomplekseja. Kirjallisuudesta valittiin tarkasteluun mielenkiintoisimpia anioneja, kationeja ja neutraaleja vierasmolekyylejä sitovia foldameereja ja perehdyttiin niiden vuorovaikutuksiin. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin vierasmolekyylin sitoutumisen aikaansaamia muutoksia foldameerien konformaatiossa. Kokeellisen osan tarkoituksena oli syntetisoida pitkä, 11 aromaattista rengasta sisältävä aryyliamidifoldameeri käyttäen hyväksi pääasiassa peptidikytkentäreaktioita. Koska synteesi osoittautui erittäin haasteell…
