Approximation of a structural acoustic vibration problem by hexahedral finite elements
No full textA finite-element method to compute elastoacoustic vibration modes in 3D problems on hexahedral meshes is analysed. It is based on displacement formulations for solid and fluid domains. In order to avoid spurious modes, the discretization consists of lowest order hexahedral Raviart–Thomas elements for the former coupled with classical trilinear isoparametric hexahedral elements for the latter. The kinematic constraint is weakly imposed and the meshes on the fluid and solid domains do not need to match on the common interface. Basic interpolation results are proved for the lowest order hexahedral Raviart–Thomas elements. These results are used to prove convergence of the coupled finite-element method, non-existence of spurious modes and optimal-order error estimates for eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, under the assumption that the meshes on the fluid domain are asymptotically parallelepiped. Numerical results showing sufficiency and necessity of this hypothesis are reported
Esperienza ed evento della verità. Pratica filosofica e astrazione scientifica nel pensiero di A.N. Whitehead
No full textThis article analyzes the relationship between philosophy, experience and event in A.N. Whitehead’s thought. From the critics of the concept of object, the author retraces and describes the peculiar “abstract-concrete dialectic”, at the center of the researches concerning the perceptual experience.
Furthermore, according to Whitehead’s later works, she demonstrates how the philosophical practice is different from all other kinds of science, although it requires science itself because of the co-implication of object and event, abstraction and recognition
Il "Guerrin Meschino" di Gesualdo Bufalino : un'"opra" in versi
No full textGesualdo Bufalino first published Il Guerrin Meschino in 1991 in a non-commercial edition. In 1993, after a deep revision, he re-published his work with publisher Bompiani: the novel has a modified plot, and the author decided to insert three new poems in addition to the opening and closing poems, formerly present in 1991’s edition. This paper, in its entirety supported by handwritten material preserved at Fondazione Gesualdo Bufalino (Comiso), is divided in two parts: the first part illustrates the differences between the first and the second edition, the second part provides a critical edition of the five poems

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE TEACHER. IN MEMORY OF THE EXCELLENT TEACHER AND SCIENTIST M.R. SAPIN
No full textM.R. Sapin (1925–2015) was a professor at I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, honorary academician of Russian academy of medical sciences (1988), and an outstanding representative of the Moscow anatomical school of the middle of XX – early XXI century. From the very beginning of his medical training, Mikhail Romanovich got interested in anatomy, especially in angiology and lymphology, and later concentrated on its studying. The author of more than 30 text books and guidelines for schools, universities, and colleges, Mikhail Romanovich was the doctoral and thesis advisor of 51 Ph.D. and approximately 70 MD dissertations. M.R. Sapin made a significant contribution to the development of anatomical education providing the departments with a various range of dry and wet specimens. His stunning and effective work as a tutor was highly appreciated by his students and colleagues, Russian and foreign anatomists. M.R. Sapin was the leader of the Laboratory of Functional Anatomy since 1972, president of the International Association of Morphologists (1992–2006), chairman of the expert commission of Higher Attestation Commission (1959–1994), etc. A man of a great willpower, M.R. Sapin faced a lot of obstacles in his life and research work but overcame that all successfully. The article presents the most important facts of anatomist’s career and lifetime.</jats:p
Verslag van het voorgevallene tijdens het hooge opperwater op de Nederlandsche rivieren in den winter van 1919 op 1920
No full textNadat de Rijn op 20 December 1919 tot even beneden den middelbaren zomerstand 1901-1910 (M.R.) was gedaald vertoonde zich op die rivier een sterke en vrij snelle was, waardoor het water te Keulen tot 6m +M.R. bij het einde van het jaar steeg. In de daarop volgende 11 dagen daalde de waterstand tot 1.5m +M.R. om daarna in 5 dagen weder te rijzen tot den zeer hoogen stand van 7m +M.R. Door een aanvankelijk sterken later flauweren val liep de stand weder terug tot 1.5m +M.R. op 30 Januari. Ook op de Maas vertoonden zich twee dicht op elkaar volgende sterke wassen. Bij den aanvang van den eersten was op 19 december stond het water te Maastricht op ruim 1m +M.R. en steeg het in 6 dagen tot 4.37m +M.R.; in de daaropvolgende 9 dagen bleef de stand steeds hoger dan 4m +M.R. en daalde toen tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. op 10 Januari 1920. De tweede was trad op laatsgenoemde datum in waarbij het water oplied tot 4.94m +M.R. op 15 Januari. Het water daalde daarna dadelijk en was op 29 Januari tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. weggevallen. Bij den tweeden was op Rijn en Maas werden de hoogst bekende waterstanden bij open rivieren overtroffen te Keulen met 7 cm en te Maastricht met 2 cm. De rivieren waren ijsvrij.Hoogwaterversla

Transferência eletrônica em sistemas moleculares
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Física, Florianópolis, 2012O presente trabalho apresenta uma análise teórica do fenômeno de transferência eletrônica (ET) para dois sistemas moleculares. Inicialmente é apresentada uma breve introdução sobre o processo de transferência eletrônica, seguida de uma descrição de seu papel em dispositivos fotovoltaicos orgânicos e poliméricos. Prossegue-se com uma descrição detalhada da teoria usada nesta dissertação e das diferentes técnicas computacionais utilizadas para realizar a propagação temporal de pacotes de onda eletrônicos em sistemas moleculares. Dois modelos físicos são investigados pelo formalismo. No primeiro caso apresenta-se uma análise do fenômeno de transferência eletrônica em um sistema doador-aceitador assistido por ponte: dois átomos de berílio atuam como o par doado-aceitador, para os quais a transferência é intermediada por uma estrutura molecular rígida (cadeia de polietileno) C17H36. Examinou-se as consequência para a transferência dos diferentes comprimentos de ligação que conectam doador e aceitador com a ponte, e a variação do número de unidades de etileno na ponte. Os cálculos demonstram a transição entre a transferência de carácter ôhmico e a super-trânsferência, em acordo com outros formalismos. O segundo modelo de estudo consiste de uma cadeia triatômica dinâmica idealizada para a investigação dos efeitos do movimento iônico sobre a dinâmica eletrônica. Fica evidenciado que em frequências nucleares baixas a dinâmica eletrônica é de carácter adiabático. Em contrapartida, frequências maiores conduzem à efeitos de carácter não adiabático.Abstract : This work presents a theoretical analysis of the electron transfer process for two types of molecular systems. It begins with a brief introduction about the electron transfer process, which is followed by a discussion about the relevance of the process to the operation of organic and polymeric photovoltaic devices. In the sequence, the relevant theory is explained in detail, particularly the computational methods that are used to time propagate electronic wavepackets in molecular structures. Two physical models are investigated with the formalism. In the first case, the analysis of the electron transfer mechanism is carried for a donor-acceptor system coupled by a bridge: two beryllium atoms act as the donor-acceptor pair, and the electronic transfer takes place through a rigid molecular structure (polyethylene chain) C17H36. The effects caused by changing bond lengths between donor/acceptor sites and the bridge as well as varying the number of ethylene units in the bridge were investigated. The calculations show a transition of the transfer behaviour from ohmic to super-exchange, in accordance with predictions made by different formalisms. The second model system consists of a tri-atomic dynamic chain, which is thought for studying the effects of the ionic motion on the electronic dynamics. The present study shows that the electronic dynamics is adiabatic at low nuclear frequencies whereas at high nuclear frequencies non-adiabatic effects arise

The Ontology of the Causal Basis of Man : To the Theory of Time
No full textIn 2014, Amirbegov Y.M.'s monograph titled "Mechanics of Thinking" or "Ontological Basis of the Subject" was published, which dealt with a philosophical question: the relationship of matter with consciousness and time of our being. But since the monograph duplicated the thesis conceived by the author and did not go beyond the material presented in it, on the advice of the consultant the author of the monograph is preparing its second edition in an expanded version with a new title: " Ontology of Causal Basis of Man", attracting his mentor, the author of "The Theory of Time or Principle of Formation of Matter Forms" Amirbegov M.R., as a co-author of this book,
Adhering to the opinion that matter between past and future temporal conti-nuity of eternity is reduced to nothing and in reality there remains only a causeless "Nothing", the authors of this book from a clean sheet, but with baggage of knowledge about objective forms of being and causeless reality with its possibili-ties, build an unparalleled theoretical model of human integrity, answering the question: what does a man, his sensorium, consciousness, his thinking apparatus and thought itself, why and how? The authors submit this book to the judgment of the reader
