A complement of the Ando–Hiai inequality
No full textAbstractIn this paper, we present a complement of a generalized Ando–Hiai inequality due to Fujii and Kamei [M. Fujii, E. Kamei, Ando–Hiai inequality and Furuta inequality, Linear Algebra Appl. 416 (2006) 541–545]. Let A and B be positive operators on a Hilbert space H such that 0<m1⩽A⩽M1 and 0<m2⩽B⩽M2 for some scalars mi⩽Mi (i=1,2), and let α∈[0,1]. Put hi=Mimi for i=1,2. Then for each 0<r⩽1 and s⩾1Ar♯αr(1-α)s+αrBs⩽Kh1sh2s,rs-(1-α)s(1-α)s+αrh2(1-α)s(s-r)(1-α)s+αr‖A♯αB‖rs(1-α)s+αr,where A♯αB≔A12(A-12BA-12)αA12 is the α-geometric mean and a generalized Kantorovich constant K(h,p) is defined for h>0 asK(h,p)≔hp-h(p-1)(h-1)p-1php-1hp-hpfor all real numbers p∈R

Direct numerical simulation of dynamic rotating jets
No full textJets are the most basic flow used in industrial field and are widely used for heating, cooling, mixing. Recently, the improvement of mixing efficiency is required in order to downsize many industrial equipments and upgrade their performance. In the case of jets, their characteristic, such as the diffusion, depends on the inlet condition. Therefore, by controlling jet to give appropriate inlet conditions, the mixing efficiency can be improved. Thus far previous studies have mainly investigated excitation control associated with the instability of jets. However, in our previous study, as a new method we proposed dynamic control to enhance mixing or diffusion of free jets and have found its characteristics[1]. In this study, we focus on the vector control in which an inflow is rotating around the streamwise direction. In order to investigate the performance of the proposed method, the DNS of axisymmetric jet under the vector control are conducted and its structures are visualized; the mixing efficiency based on a mixing measure are quantified

Giovani a parole. Dalla generazione media alla networked generation
No full textWhat does it mean to be young in the information society? To get closer to a realistic image of today's teenagers we must study them in contact with their objects of use, in terms of consumption practices, focusing on the relationships they establish with the old and new media. The research reveals a generation really different from adults - parents and teachers - for a more conscious use of the media and for a greater integration of media in everyday life, indoor and outdoo

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
