Absolutely continuous functions in Rn
2005
Abstract For each 0 α 1 we consider a natural n-dimensional extension of the classical notion of absolute continuous function. We compare it with the Malý's and Hencl's definitions. It follows that each α-absolute continuous function is continuous, weak differentiable with gradient in L n , differentiable almost everywhere and satisfies the formula on change of variables.
Design and use of a Fatigue Test Machine in Plane Bending for Composite Specimens and Bonded Joints
2011
Polymeric and composites materials are increasingly used in industry as structural parts, so that specific information on their mechanical properties "at long term" (creep, relaxation, fatigue) are requested. The design and implementation of these components also requires that they are permanently connected together to perform certain functions. The use of adhesives in structural joints has increased over recent years thanks to the continuous development by companies which provide the market with adhesive having better and better mechanical properties. The main areas relate to the aerospace, aeronautical and automotive industries, where requirements are required for lightness and reliabilit…
An Approximating-Interpolatory Subdivision Scheme.
2011
International audience; In the last decade, study and construction of quad/triangle subdivision schemes have attracted attention. The quad/triangle subdivision starts with a control mesh consisting of both quads and triangles and produces ner and ner meshes with quads and triangles (Fig. 1). Design- ers often want to model certain regions with quad meshes and others with triangle meshes to get better visual qual- ity of subdivision surfaces. Smoothness analysis tools exist for regular quad/triangle vertices. Moreover C1 and C2 quad/triangle schemes (for regular vertices) have been con- structed. But to our knowledge, there are no quad/triangle schemes that uni es approximating and interpola…
Study and construction of the quasi-linear subdivision schemes over bi-regular meshs
2012
Subdivision schemes are commonly used to generate a smooth shape from a much more coarseone. The reverse subdivision is designed to describe a high resolution mesh from a coarse one. Bothof these tools are used in numerous graphical modelisation domains. In this thesis, we focused ontwo distinct aspects: on one hand the construction of quasi-linear subdivision schemes and on theother hand the construction of reverse quad/triangle subdivision schemes. The work, presented inthe context of the subdivision, describes the construction of a new type of subdivision schemes, andtheirs applications to solve some problems coming from the application of linear subdivision schemes.The work presented in…
Effect of population patchiness and migration rates on the adaptation and divergence of vesicular stomatitis virus quasispecies populations
1999
The effect of migration among different isolated virus quasispecies populations on their adaptation and diversity was analysed through experimental evolution. Anin vitrocell system was employed to simulate migration of vesicular stomatitis virus between isolated homogeneous host cell populations. The results clearly demonstrated a positive correlation between the migration rate and the magnitude of the mean fitness reached by the virus quasispecies populations. The results also showed, although less clearly, that fitness differences among quasispecies decreased with the magnitude of migration. These results are in close agreement with predictions of standard population genetics theory. Thes…
Rovibrational structure of the Ar–CO complex based on a novel three-dimensional ab initio potential
2002
The first three-dimensional ab initio intermolecular potential energy surface of the Ar–CO van der Waals complex is calculated using the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triples model and the augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence quadruple zeta (aug-cc-pVQZ) basis set extended with a (3s3p2d1f1g) set of midbond functions. The three-dimensional surface is averaged over the three lowest vibrational states of CO. Rovibrational energies are calculated up to 50 cm−1 above the ground state, thus enabling comprehensive comparison between theory and available experimental data as well as providing detailed guidance for future spectroscopic investigations of highe…
Study of the benzene⋅N2 intermolecular potential-energy surface
2003
The intermolecular potential-energy surface pertaining to the interaction between benzene and N2 is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Accurate intermolecular interaction energies are evaluated for the benzene–N2 van der Waals complex using the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triples [CCSD(T)] method and the aug-cc-pVDZ basis set extended with a set of 3s3p2d1f1g midbond functions. After fitting the energies to an analytic function, the intermolecular Schrödinger equation is solved to yield energies, rotational constants, and Raman-scattering coefficients for the lowest intermolecular levels of several benzene–N2 isotopomers. Experimentally, intermolecula…
Computational and experimental investigation of intermolecular states and forces in the benzene-helium van der Waals complex
2003
A study of the intermolecular potential-energy surface (IPS) and the intermolecular states of the perprotonated and perdeuterated benzene–He complex is reported. From a fit to ab initio data computed within the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triples model for 280 interaction geometries, an analytic IPS including two- to four-body atom–atom terms is obtained. This IPS, and two other Lennard-Jones atom–atom surfaces from the literature, are each employed in dynamically exact (within the rigid-monomer approximation) calculations of J = 0 intermolecular states of the isotopomers. Rotational constants and Raman-scattering coefficients for intermolecular vibrational trans…
The role of 'the resources of the power hypothesis' in explaining the Spanish welfare state between 1975-1995
2000
There are two clearly differentiated parts to thiswork. The first consists of areview of the theoretical arguments that underliethe so-called `resourcesof power hypothesis'. That theory has beenused to explain the growth anddevelopment of the Welfare State in severalEuropean countries. The findingsof a number of empirical works backing up thattheory have also been includedin this review. The intention of the second partis to check the theory against theSpanish case between 1975 and 1995. The conclusionof this work is that if, besidesconsidering the ideological persuasion of theparty controlling the government, wetake into account the other relevant factorsencompassed by the theory, then the…
L'irosa eloquenza delle strumae
2013
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Cicero in his in Vatinium employs the iconic power of the body of the accused, Vatinius, and its repulsive strumae as a logical tool to support his persuasion strategy, thereby creating an enthymeme based upon the premises provided by the features of the body. This way of reasoning rests upon a strongly oriented and often distorting reading of the physical characteristics of the body in accordance with the physiognomic and pathognomonic doctrines. As a result, the de-formities of Vatinius's body, instead of being used to commend Vatinius, become important elements in Cicero's strategy of belittling his opponent's authority.
