On the properties of the radiosity equation near corners
2003
The radiosity equation is an integral equation of the second kind which describes the energy exchange by radiation between surfaces in R3. It is assumed that all surfaces are Lambertian reflectors and that all emitters are diffusive emitters. The radiosity equation plays an important role for the calculation of photo realistic images with the help of computers. Many surfaces which are used in practical calculations are only piecewise smooth and contain edges or corners. In this contribution we present regularity results for the solution of the radiosity equation in the vicinity of corners. The space of piecewise continuous functions is not suitable for this equation and we construct a new f…
Role of Human Sec63 in Modulating the Steady-State Levels of Multi-Spanning Membrane Proteins
2012
The Sec61 translocon of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane forms an aqueous pore, allowing polypeptides to be transferred across or integrated into membranes. Protein translocation into the ER can occur co- and posttranslationally. In yeast, posttranslational translocation involves the heptameric translocase complex including its Sec62p and Sec63p subunits. The mammalian ER membrane contains orthologs of yeast Sec62p and Sec63p, but their function is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the effects of excess and deficit Sec63 on various ER cargoes using human cell culture systems. The overexpression of Sec63 reduces the steady-state levels of viral and cellular multi-spanning membrane …
Multiplicity of solutions of Dirichlet problems associated with second-order equations in ℝ2
2009
AbstractWe study the existence of multiple solutions for a two-point boundary-value problem associated with a planar system of second-order ordinary differential equations by using a shooting technique. We consider asymptotically linear nonlinearities satisfying suitable sign conditions. Multiplicity is ensured by assumptions involving the Morse indices of the linearizations at zero and at infinity.
Generality of Henstock-Kurzweil type integral on a compact zero-dimensional metric space
2011
ABSTRACT A Henstock-Kurzweil type integral on a compact zero-dimensional metric space is investigated. It is compared with two Perron type integrals. It is also proved that it covers the Lebesgue integral.
Kurzweil-Henstock type integral in fourier analysis on compact zero-dimensional group
2009
Abstract A Kurzweil-Henstock type integral defined on a zero-dimensional compact abelian group is studied and used to obtain a generalization of some results related to the problem of recovering, by generalized Fourier formulae, the coefficients of convergent series with respect to the characters of such a group.
A fixed point theorem for G-monotone multivalued mapping with application to nonlinear integral equations
2017
We extend notion and theorem of [21] to the case of a multivalued mapping defined on a metric space endowed with a finite number of graphs. We also construct an example to show the generality of our result over existing results. Finally, we give an application to nonlinear integral equations

In divenire, il cammino pedagogico di Romano Guardini
2022
Pensatore appassionato e inarrestabile ricercatore della verit��, Romano Guardini (1885-1968) indag��, a fianco ai molteplici ambiti del sapere e del vivere umano, il mondo dell���educazione. Diede contenuto e forma al proprio ruolo di educatore a diretto contatto con i giovani, che con cura segu�� presso le realt�� della Juventus, del Quickborn, delle aule universitarie. In eredit�� fra le righe dei suoi pi�� noti scritti, le linee di una teoria pedagogica, premessa ed esito del suo agire educativo. Il presente contributo assume i tratti di un tentativo ��� parola tanto cara all���autore ��� di illuminare il profilo pedagogico di Guardini per scoprire che egli stesso sia, e perch�� sia, un…
Retention mechanisms for ER and Golgi membrane proteins
2014
Unless there are mechanisms to selectively retain membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or in the Golgi apparatus, they automatically proceed downstream to the plasma or vacuole membranes. Two types of coat protein complex I (COPI)-interacting motifs in the cytosolic tails of membrane proteins seem to facilitate membrane retention in the early secretory pathway of plants: a dilysine (KKXX) motif (which is typical of p24 proteins) for the ER and a KXE/D motif (which occurs in the Arabidopsis endomembrane protein EMP12) for the Golgi apparatus. The KXE/D motif is highly conserved in all eukaryotic EMPs and is additionally present in hundreds of other proteins of unknown subcellu…
Membrane insertion and topology of the p7B movement protein of Melon Necrotic Spot Virus (MNSV)
2007
AbstractCell-to-cell movement of the Melon Necrotic Spot Virus (MNSV) is controlled by two small proteins working in trans, an RNA-binding protein (p7A) and an integral membrane protein (p7B) separated by an amber stop codon. p7B contains a single hydrophobic region. Membrane integration of this region was observed when inserted into model proteins in the presence of microsomal membranes. Furthermore, we explored the topology and targeting mechanisms of full-length p7B. Here we present evidence that p7B integrates in vitro into the ER membrane cotranslationally and with an Nt-cytoplasmic/Ct-luminal orientation. The observed topology was monitored in vivo by fusing GFP to the Ct of p7B, enab…
