Mise en évidence de corps d'origine cosmique probable au sein de la formation de Carnot (République Centrafricaine)

1992

Resume Deux etudes realisees independamment l'une de l'autre, ont permis de mettre en evidence, au sein de la Formation de Carnot, formation fluviatile mesozoique, d'une part des spherules magnetiques recuperees dans les residus d'un forage (zone de Boyali), d'autre part une anomalie magnetique tres localisee (sur 270 metres de long) traduisant la presence d'un corps decametrique a forte magnetisation remanente (zone de Gambondo). Ces deux elements magnetiques ont une origine cosmique probable. Ils correspondent a des micrometeorites et a une meteorite ayant atteint l'ouest de la Republique Centrafricaine entre l'Albien et le Maastrichtien.

Effect of Palletized Map Storage on the Quality and Nutritional Compounds of the Japanese Plum cv. Angeleno (Prunus salicina Lindl.)

2016

The influence of active modified atmosphere packaging MAP (10.0 kPa of O2 and 5 kPa of CO2) on palletized system was evaluated to extend the marketability of fresh plums cv. Angeleno. Fruits were wrapped with a polyethylene film in pallet bag units at 1C and 90% relative humidity for up to 60 days. The gas values of the pallet bags, the fruit weight losses and their qualitative and nutraceutical characteristics were periodically monitored to evaluate the goodness of storage. The results showed as the pallet bag have maintained the market life of Angeleno plums to up to 60 days, preserving the most important qualitative traits of fruits. After 20, 40 and 60 days the MAP treatment maintained …

Chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oil of Pulicaria odora L.

2004

The chemical composition of the volatile oil constituent from Pulicaria odora L. roots has been analyzed by GC/MS. Twenty-seven components were identified, being thymol (47.83%) and its derivative isobutyrate (30.05%) the main constituents in the oil. Furthermore, the oil was tested against seven bacteria at different concentrations. Results showed that the oil exhibited a significant antibacterial activity.

Ageing and COPD affect different domains of nutritional status: the ECCE study

2010

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and ageing may contribute to malnutrition. We aimed to explore whether COPD and ageing determine malnutrition in different manners. 460 stable COPD outpatients (376 males and 84 females) from the Extrapulmonary Consequences of COPD in the Elderly (ECCE) study database were investigated (age 75.0±5.9 yrs; forced expiratory volume in 1 s 54.7±18.3% predicted). Nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment® (MNA) questionnaire. From the MNA, three scores exploring the domains of the nutritional status were calculated: body composition, energy intake and body functionality scores.

Transport of high molecular mass lignin material in the receiving water system of a mechanical pulp mill

1998

High molecular mass material (HMM) of water samples collected from the receiving water system of a mechanical pulp mill was characterized applying cupric oxide oxidation combined with GC and HPLC analysis of the oxidation products. This qualitative method was used to follow the transport of organic HMM discharged by the mill. The interpretation of results was complicated by degradation reactions of HMM in the water system and the assimilation of HMM produced by the mill to natural humic compounds. The analytical data was subjected to the principal component analysis (PCA) to verify the results obtained.

On partially saturated formations of finite groups

2007

Various types of partially saturated formations and connections between them are considered. It is shown that partially saturated formations can be characterized as classes of finite groups with generalized central series. A theorem on the decomposition of an FG-module into a sum of two submodules with special properties is proved.Bibliography: 26 titles.

On the composition and decomposition of positive linear operators (VII)

2021

In the present paper we study the compositions of the piecewise linear interpolation operator S?n and the Beta-type operator B?n, namely An:= S?n ?B?n and Gn := B?n ? S?n. Voronovskaya type theorems for the operators An and Gn are proved, substantially improving some corresponding known results. The rate of convergence for the iterates of the operators Gn and An is considered. Some estimates of the differences between An, Gn, Bn and S?n, respectively, are given. Also, we study the behaviour of the operators An on the subspace of C[0,1] consisting of all polygonal functions with nodes {0, 1/2,..., n-1/n,1}. Finally, we propose to the readers a conjecture concerning the eigenvalues of the ope…

Global functorial hypergestures over general skeleta for musical performance

2016

Musical performance theory using Lagrangian formalism, inspired by physical string theory, has been described in previous research. That approach was restricted to zero-addressed hypergestures of local character, and also to digraph skeleta of simple arrow type. In this article, we extend the theory to hypergestures that are defined functorially over general topological categories as addresses, are global, and are also defined for general skeleta. We also prove several versions of the important Escher Theorem for this general setup. This extension is highly motivated by theoretical and practical musical performance requirements of which we give concrete examples.
