Experimental and computational investigation of the group 11-group 2 diatomic molecules: First determination of the AuSr and AuBa bond energies and thermodynamic stability of the copper- and silver-alkaline earth species

The dissociation energies of the intermetallic molecules AuSr and AuBa were for the first time determined by the Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry method. The two species were produced in the vapor phase equilibrated with apt mixtures of the constituent elements, and the dissociation equilibria…

THE ANTITRIANGULAR FACTORIZATION OF SYMMETRIC MATRICES

Indefinite symmetric matrices occur in many applications, such as optimization, least squares problems, partial differential equations, and variational problems. In these applications one is often interested in computing a factorization of the indefinite matrix that puts into evidence the inertia…

Hydrodynamic effects on the liquid-hexatic transition of active colloids

We study numerically the role of hydrodynamics in the liquid-hexatic transition of active colloids at intermediate activity, where motility induced phase separation (MIPS) does not occur. We show that in the case of active Brownian particles (ABP), the critical density of the transition decreases…

Dixon's extended bodies and weak gravitational waves

General relativity considers Dixon’s theory as the standard theory to deal with the motion of extended bodies in a given gravitational background. We discuss here the features of the “reaction” of an extended body to the passage of a weak gravitational wave. We find that the body acquires a dipolar…

Analysis of Galileo and GPS integration for GNSS Tomography

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) tomography provides 3-D reconstructions of atmosphere wet refractivity, related to water vapor. A simulated analysis of the integration of Global Positioning System and future Galileo data is presented. Atmospheric refractivity is derived from radiosonde…

Growth Arrest-Specific Transcript 5 associated snoRNA levels are related to p53 expression and DNA damage in colorectal cancer

Background: The growth arrest-specific transcript 5 gene (GAS5) encodes a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and hosts a number of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that have recently been implicated in multiple cellular processes and cancer. Here, we investigate the relationship between DNA damage, p53, and…

Lagrange-Chebyshev Interpolation for image resizing

Image resizing is a basic tool in image processing, and in literature, we have many methods based on different approaches, which are often specialized in only upscaling or downscaling. In this paper, independently of the (reduced or enlarged) size we aim to get, we approach the problem at a…

Time-varying Riemann solvers for conservation laws on networks

Additive model selection

We study sparse high dimensional additive model fitting via penalization with sparsity-smoothness penalties. We review several existing algorithms that have been developed for this problem in the recent literature, highlighting the connections between them, and present some computationally…
