A Study of the Direct Spectral Transform for the Defocusing Davey‐Stewartson II Equation the Semiclassical Limit
2019
International audience; The defocusing Davey-Stewartson II equation has been shown in numerical experiments to exhibit behavior in the semiclassical limit that qualitatively resembles that of its one-dimensional reduction, the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation, namely the generation from smooth initial data of regular rapid oscillations occupying domains of space-time that become well-defined in the limit. As a first step to studying this problem analytically using the inverse scattering transform, we consider the direct spectral transform for the defocusing Davey-Stewartson II equation for smooth initial data in the semiclassical limit. The direct spectral transform involves a sing…
Preparation and structural characterization of organotin(IV) complexes with ligands containing a hetero {N} atom and a hydroxy group or hydroxy and c…
2005
AbstractTwenty-two n-butyltin(IV) and t-butyltin(IV) complexes of ligands containing an –OH (–C@O) group or –OH and –COOHgroups and an aromatic {N} donor atom were prepared by metathetical reactions. On the basis of the FT-IR and Mo¨ssbauer spec-troscopic data, molecular structures were assigned to these compounds. The binding sites of the ligands were identified by means ofFT-IR spectroscopic measurements, and it was found that in most cases the organotin(IV) moiety reacts with the phenolic form ofthese ligands. In the complexes with –OH and –COOH functions, the –COOH group is coordinated to the organotin(IV) centres in amonodentate manner. The 119 Sn Mo¨ssbauer and the FT-IR studies suppor…
Seasonal variations of leaf area index of agricultural fields retrieved from Landsat data
2008
Abstract The derivation of leaf area index (LAI) from satellite optical data has been the subject of a large amount of work. In contrast, few papers have addressed the effective model inversion of high resolution satellite images for a complete series of data for the various crop species in a given region. The present study is focused on the assessment of a LAI model inversion approach applied to multitemporal optical data, over an agricultural region having various crop types with different crop calendars. Both the inversion approach and data sources are chosen because of their wide use. Crops in the study region (Barrax, Castilla–La Mancha, Spain) include: cereal, corn, alfalfa, sugar bee…
Métabolisme sucre-citrate chez Leuconostoc mesenteroides
2001
Sugar citrate cometabolism in Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Bacteria from the genus Leuconostocplay roles in the dairy industry. The most important functions of this bacteria are their ability to produce CO 2 and flavour compounds through lactose heterofermentation and citrate uti- lization. Although the biotechnological role of the citrate metabolism is very important and widely appreciated, little is known about the genetic properties of Leuconostoc spp. In our laboratory, we cloned the genes responsible for citrate metabolism ( clyR mae citCDEFGOPcluster), for D-lactate dehydrogenase (ldhD) and for phosphotransacetylase ( pta). In addition we have planned to con- struct new vectors and we h…
Computing the Original eBWT Faster, Simpler, and with Less Memory
2021
Mantaci et al. [TCS 2007] defined the \(\mathrm {eBWT}\) to extend the definition of the \(\mathrm {BWT}\) to a collection of strings. However, since this introduction, it has been used more generally to describe any \(\mathrm {BWT}\) of a collection of strings, and the fundamental property of the original definition (i.e., the independence from the input order) is frequently disregarded. In this paper, we propose a simple linear-time algorithm for the construction of the original \(\mathrm {eBWT}\), which does not require the preprocessing of Bannai et al. [CPM 2021]. As a byproduct, we obtain the first linear-time algorithm for computing the \(\mathrm {BWT}\) of a single string that uses …
Transformative change in social service delivery and social work practice in Latvia during the COVID-19 pandemic
2021
COVID-19 epidemiological security measures – social service delivery disruption and restrictions on direct social contacts – stressed the need for transformations in social work practice. These res...
Integrability of orthogonal projections, and applications to Furstenberg sets
2022
Let $\mathcal{G}(d,n)$ be the Grassmannian manifold of $n$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and let $\pi_{V} \colon \mathbb{R}^{d} \to V$ be the orthogonal projection. We prove that if $\mu$ is a compactly supported Radon measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ satisfying the $s$-dimensional Frostman condition $\mu(B(x,r)) \leq Cr^{s}$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}^{d}$ and $r > 0$, then $$\int_{\mathcal{G}(d,n)} \|\pi_{V}\mu\|_{L^{p}(V)}^{p} \, d\gamma_{d,n}(V) \tfrac{1}{2}$ and $t \geq 1 + \epsilon$ for a small absolute constant $\epsilon > 0$. We also prove a higher dimensional analogue of this estimate for codimension-1 Furstenberg sets in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. As another corollary of our method,…
Spray dried hyaluronic acid microparticles for adhesion controlled aggregation and potential stimulation of stem cells
2017
Spray-dried microparticles of a derivative of hyaluronic acid (HA) have been engineered to obtain a controlled aggregation with Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) into 3D constructs. We demonstrated the utility of chemical functionalization of a native constituent of the extracellular matrix to improve processing performances and to control on stem cell adhesion and differentiation. Native hyaluronic acid (HA), cell adhesive peptides (RGD), transforming growth factor β3, dexamethasone are biological agents potentially suitable for chondrogenic stimulation of hMSCS. However unmodified HA suffers of drawbacks in terms of stability and versatility of processing. Functionalization strategies…
Solid microcrystalline dispersion films as a new strategy to improve the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs: A case study using olanzapine
2016
In this study, we evaluate the dissolution rate enhancement of solid microcrystalline dispersion (SMD) films of olanzapine (OLZ) formulated with four water-soluble polymers namely poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), poloxamer 188 (P188), poloxamer 407 (P407) and Soluplus(®) (SLP). Prepared formulations were characterised to determine particle size, morphology, hydrogen bonding interactions, thermal characteristics as well as in vitro dissolution studies conducted under sink conditions (pH 6.8). Particle size of OLZ in all formulations ranged between 42 and 58μm.

ATR-Spin: an open-source 3D printed device for direct cytocentrifugation onto attenuated total reflectance crystals.
2021
Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) enables the direct and rapid characterization of cells at the molecular level. Achieving a rapid and consistent cell preparation is critical for the development of Point-of-Care diagnostics for cell analysis. Here we introduce an open-source, 3D printed device for integrating the isolation, preconcentration, and measurement of attenuated total reflectance IR spectra of cells from biofluids. The tool comprises a disposable card for cytocentrifugation, equipped with magnets, which allows reproducible integration into the pathlength of the IR spectrophotometer. Preliminary results using cell media containing A459 cells indicate that this system enables a qualitative …
