Composite variety-based topological theories
2012
Motivated by the recent result of Rodabaugh on categorical redundancy of lattice-valued bitopology, the paper considers another viewpoint on the topic, based on the notion of composite variety-based topological theory. The new concept, apart from providing a variable-basis generalization of bitopology, incorporates the most important approaches to topology currently developed in the fuzzy community, bringing forward their categorically algebraic properties, which are cleared from point-set lattice-theoretic dependencies. Dwelling on different ways of interaction between composite topology and topology, e.g., embedding the former into the latter as a full bicoreflective subcategory, we final…
Generalized fuzzy topology versus non-commutative topology
2011
The paper introduces a modification of the notions of generalized fuzzy topological space of Demirci and quantal space of Mulvey and Pelletier, suitable to explore interrelations between point-set lattice-theoretic topology and non-commutative topology developed in the framework of C^*-algebras or (more recently) of quantales. As a consequence of the new approach, a generalization of the concept of topological system of Vickers arises. Moreover, the currently dominating variable-basis topological setting in the fuzzy community, due to Rodabaugh, appears to be ''fixed-basis''.
Integro-differential equation modelling heat transfer in conducting, radiating and semitransparent materials
1998
In this work we analyse a model for radiative heat transfer in materials that are conductive, grey and semitransparent. Such materials are for example glass, silicon, water and several gases. The most important feature of the model is the non-local interaction due to exchange of radiation. This, together with non-linearity arising from the well-known Stefan-Boltzmann law, makes the resulting heat equation non-monotone. By analysing the terms related to heat radiation we prove that the operator defining the problem is pseudomonotone. Hence, we can prove the existence of weak solution in the cases where coercivity can be obtained. In the general case, we prove the solvability of the system us…
ATLAS Inner Detector alignment and analysis of the Wtb vertex structure with single top quarks
2018
Esta tesis puede ser dividida en dos partes diferentes: La primera trata sobre el alineamiento del detector interno de ATLAS, y la segunda sobre el estudio de la estructura del vértice Wtb mediante el uso de quarks top producidos en solitario. La primera parte presenta las técnicas utilizadas para alinear el detector interno de ATLAS, así como las mejoras implementadas en algoritmo de alineamiento durante el Run-II del LHC. Durante la toma de datos, tienen lugar en el detector interno diversos movimientos y deformaciones dinámicos que comprometen la calidad de los datos recogidos. Los dos más relevantes son un movimiento vertical del detector de Píxeles, y el combado del IBL. En el alineami…
Searches for lepton number violating $K^+$ decays
2019
The NA62 experiment at CERN reports a search for the lepton number violating decays K+ -> pi(-)e(+)e(+) and K+ -> pi(-)mu(+)mu(+) using a data sample collected in 2017. No signals are observed, and upper limits on the branching fractions of these decays of 2.2 x 10(-10) and 4.2 x 10(-11) are obtained, respectively, at 90% confidence level. These upper limits improve on previously reported measurements by factors of 3 and 2, respectively.
Host-Guest Complexes of C-Ethyl-2-methylresorcinarene and Aromatic
2017
Abstract The C‐ethyl‐2‐methylresorcinarene (1) forms 1:1 in‐cavity complexes with aromatic N,N′‐dioxides, only if each of the aromatic rings has an N−O group. The structurally different C‐shaped 2,2′‐bipyridine N,N′‐dioxide (2,2′‐BiPyNO) and the linear rod‐shaped 4,4′‐bipyridine N,N′‐dioxide (4,4′‐BiPyNO) both form 1:1 in‐cavity complexes with the host resorcinarene in C 4v crown and C 2v conformations, respectively. In the solid state, the host–guest interactions between the 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane N,N′‐dioxide (BiPyPNO) and the host 1 stabilize the unfavorable anti‐gauche conformation. Contrary to the N,N′‐dioxide guests, the mono‐N‐oxide guest, 4‐phenylpyridine N‐oxide (4PhPyNO), does …
A strong electroweak phase transition from the inflaton field
2016
We study a singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model. The singlet scalar is coupled non-minimally to gravity and assumed to drive inflation, and also couple sufficiently strongly with the SM Higgs field in order to provide for a strong first order electroweak phase transition. Requiring the model to describe inflation successfully, be compatible with the LHC data, and yield a strong first order electroweak phase transition, we identify the regions of the parameter space where the model is viable. We also include a singlet fermion with scalar coupling to the singlet scalar to probe the sensitivity of the constraints on additional degrees of freedom and their couplings in the singlet sec…
The subtle balance of weak supramolecular interactions: The hierarchy of halogen and hydrogen bonds in haloanilinium and halopyridinium salts
2010
The series of haloanilinium and halopyridinium salts: 4-IPhNH₃Cl (1), 4-IPhNH₃Br (5), 4-IPhNH₃H₂PO₄ (6), 4-ClPhNH₃H₂PO₄ (8), 3-IPyBnCl (9), 3-IPyHCl (10) and 3-IPyH-5NIPA (3-iodopyridinium 5-nitroisophthalate, 13), where hydrogen or/and halogen bonding represents the most relevant non-covalent interactions, has been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This series was further complemented by extracting some relevant crystal structures: 4-BrPhNH3Cl (2, CCDC ref. code TAWRAL), 4-ClPhNH3Cl (3, CURGOL), 4-FPhNH3Cl (4, ANLCLA), 4-BrPhNH3H2PO4, (7, UGISEI), 3-BrPyHCl, (11, CIHBAX) and 3-ClPyHCl, (12, VOQMUJ) from Cambridge Structural Database for sake of comparison. Bas…
Preparation of potentially porous, chiral organometallic materials through spontaneous resolution of pincer palladium conformers.
2013
Understanding the mechanism by which advanced materials assemble is essential for the design of new materials with desired properties. Here, we report a method to form chiral, potentially porous materials through spontaneous resolution of conformers of a PCP pincer palladium complex ({2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyl]phenyl}palladium(II)halide). The crystallisation is controlled by weak hydrogen bonding giving rise to chiral qtz-nets and channel structures, as shown by 16 such crystal structures for X = Cl and Br with various solvents like pentane and bromobutane. The fourth ligand (in addition to the pincer ligand) on palladium plays a crucial role; the chloride and the bromide primaril…
Measurement of θ13 in Double Chooz using neutron captures on hydrogen with novel background rejection techniques
2016
The Double Chooz collaboration presents a measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ[subscript 13] using reactor [bar over ν[subscript e]] observed via the inverse beta decay reaction in which the neutron is captured on hydrogen. This measurement is based on 462.72 live days data, approximately twice as much data as in the previous such analysis, collected with a detector positioned at an average distance of 1050 m from two reactor cores. Several novel techniques have been developed to achieve significant reductions of the backgrounds and systematic uncertainties. Accidental coincidences, the dominant background in this analysis, are suppressed by more than an order of magnitude with respec…
