Variational approach to the mechanics of metal V-belt systems
2005
The mechanical behaviour of metal V-belt drives is strongly dependent on the elastic properties of both the belt and the pulley, which influence the belt penetration into the groove and the sliding on the pulley wall. The distribution of tension and penetration is quite different from the rubber belts, which may be dealt with in the assumption of perfectly rigid pulleys. The restoring effect of the centrifugal forces of the plate elements has also to be taken into account. The present analysis considers the combination of all those effects, choosing a three parameter deformation function to describe the plate bending and applying the principle of virtual work for the calculation of the unkn…
Kinetics of rat CSD-C2 binding to H3.3 RNA
2017
Cold-shock domain containing protein C2 (CSD-C2; also known as PIPPin) is an RNA-binding protein conserved in the evolution that interacts with the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of rat H1.0 and H3.3 histone messengers. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is a technique that measures changes in an interference pattern generated from visible light, reflected from an optical layer, and a biolayer which contains molecules of interest. In this study, we used the BLI methodology in order to analyze and describe the binding properties of CSD-C2 and the mRNA encoding the rat brain histone protein H3.3. Recombinant CSD-C2 was incubated with in vitro transcribed, and biotinylated H3.3 RNA fragments bound…
Energy and economic assessment of desiccant cooling systems coupled with single glazed air and hybrid PV/thermal solar collectors for applications in…
2009
Abstract This paper presents a detailed analysis of the energy and economic performance of desiccant cooling systems (DEC) equipped with both single glazed standard air and hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/t) collectors for applications in hot and humid climates. The use of ‘solar cogeneration’ by means of PV/t hybrid collectors enables the simultaneous production of electricity and heat, which can be directly used by desiccant air handling units, thereby making it possible to achieve very energy savings. The present work shows the results of detailed simulations conducted for a set of desiccant cooling systems operating without any heat storage. System performance was investigated through h…
Life cycle performance assessment of small solar thermal cooling systems and conventional plants assisted with photovoltaics
2014
Starting from the results of a Life Cycle Assessment of small solar assisted heat driven chillers, the application of such methodology has been extended to systems with a conventional compression chiller assisted by a photovoltaic plant (PV). This study aims to provide a comprehensive compared investigation of these two families of solar assisted cooling systems (with solar thermal or PV). Results indicate that, in many cases, the systems with the PV grid connected plant performed best. In addition, two more configurations were investigated to further define the PV assisted systems, which minimise their interaction with the grid through the use of electricity storages. These systems performed…
Obraz Hrista v romane Čingiza Ajtmatova "Plaha"
2011
Aitmatov introduced a biblical motif into his novel – he chose Christ examination by Pilate. The writer extended the meaning of the scene, he altered its essence and “genre,” changing it into philosophical disputation. He also invented the story of Christ sailing with his mother on the Nile and their miraculous rescue by a crocodile. These scenes are presented in such a way that they remind the myth of the birth and death of Christ which allows rating Aitmatov's figure of Christ to the fifth category of literary embodiment of Christ proposed by T. Ziołkowski and called CHRIST AS A MYTH. A figure of Christ in the novel is a symbol of the highest perfection of humanity.
Voisin's Conjecture for 0-cycles on Calabi-Yau varieties and their mirror
2019
We study a conjecture, due to Voisin, on 0-cycles on varieties with pg = 1. Using Kimura’s finite dimensional motives and recent results of Vial’s on the refined (Chow–)Künneth decomposition, we provide a general criterion for Calabi–Yau manifolds of dimension at most 5 to verify Voisin’s conjecture. We then check, using in most cases some cohomological computations on the mirror partners, that the criterion can be successfully applied to various examples in each dimension up to 5.
A parassubordinação como forma de discriminação
2019
O presente artigo visa ao estudo da parassubordinação no Direito do Trabalho. Primeiramente, busca-se delimitar esse conceito no Direito italiano, analisando-se as alterações legislativas ocorridas na matéria nos últimos anos. Em seguida, a partir do estudo da evolução doutrinária e jurisprudencial do conceito de subordinação, busca-se demonstrar que a parassubordinação conduz à redução desse último à sua acepção clássica e restrita, pois é a única forma de diferenciá-las. Evidencia-se, ainda, a insuficiência dos direitos e garantias trabalhistas aplicáveis aos parassubordinados, os quais são muito inferiores, quantitativa e qualitativamente, àqueles previstos para os trabalhadores subordin…
Optimal design of flax fiber reinforced polymer composite as a lightweight component for automobiles from a life cycle assessment perspective
2019
The present study combines the generalized rule-of-mixture (ROM) model and the Ashby material selection method for the life cycle assessment (LCA) of flax fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) and glass FRPs (GFRPs). The ROM model allows life cycle environmental impact predictions according to specific parameters of flax FRPs such as fiber format, volume fraction, manufacturing technique, and load-bearing capacity. The comparisons applied in this study are constructed on two common composite structures: mat panels and injection molded struts with equal stiffness and strength as the design criteria. On the one hand, the parametric LCA predicts that the equal strength design criterion for flax FRP…
On optimal estimates for the solutions of linear difference equations on the circle
1976
A linear difference equation arising in the proof of Moser's twist mapping theorem is solved and optimal estimates for the solution are established.
Navigationsformel zu A. Busemanns Variationsproblem der Raumfahrt
1970
Die Indikatrix des Variationsproblems wird auser durch die Storungsdifferentialgleichung fur die grose Halbachse und die Exzentrizitat durch einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Richtung des Impulsausstoses und der exzentrischen Anomalie gegeben. Die Hamilton-Gleichungen einer Extremalen reduzieren sich dann auf eine Navigationsgleichung. Die restlichen Storungsgleichungen fur die Perihellange und die mittlere Lange der Epoche geben schlieslich den sparsamsten zeitlichen Ablauf des Raketenausstoses.
