Suivi de fissuration de matériaux par thermographie

The purpose of this work is to present a novel strategy for real-time monitoring crack growth of materials. The process is based on the use of thermal data extracted along the horizontal axis of symmetry of single edge notch tension (SENT) specimens, during fatigue tests. These data are exploited using an implemented program to detect in situ the growth of fatigue crack, with the critical size and propagation speed of the crack. This technique has the advantage to be applicable to a wide range of materials regardless of their electrical conductivity and their surface texture. To cite this article: D. Ait Aouit, A.

Equilibres Liquide-vapeur Isothermes De Melanges Binaires, Amine+amine

The authors have measured the vapour pressure of the binary systems, piperidine+n -butylamine, piperidine+dipropylamine, piperidine+N-methyl piperidine, piperidine+N,N-dimethyl amino butane and N-methyl piperidine+n -butylamine. The measurements were carried out using an isoteniscope built by Jose [1]. The vapour pressure, excess Gibbs free energies at 298,15, 303,15, 313,15, 323,15, 333,15, and 325,15 K, are reported for these mixtures. The excess Gibbs free energies have been fitted to Redlich-Kister equation. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Diastereoselective preparation of novel tetrahydrooxazinones via heterocycloaddition of N-Boc, O-Me-acetals

Under Lewis acid conditions, reaction of N-Boc, O-Me acetals with the (R)-(+)-O-vinyl-pantolactone does not lead to the expected dihydrooxazine, but to the corresponding tetrahydrooxazinone, as a result of the loss of the t-Bu group. A diastereoselective and asymmetrical way to these new heterocyclic compounds is described, together with the first evidence of their ability to undergo N-acylation.     

Lower Semicontinuous Regularization for Vector-Valued Mappings

The paper is devoted to studying the lower semicontinuity of vector-valued mappings. The main object under consideration is the lower limit. We first introduce a new definition of an adequate concept of lower and upper level sets and establish some of their topological and geometrical properties. A characterization of semicontinuity for vector-valued mappings is thereafter presented. Then, we define a concept of vector lower limit, proving its lower semicontinuity, and furnishing in this way a concept of lower semicontinuous regularization for mappings taking their values in a complete lattice. The results obtained in the present work subsume the standard ones when the target space is finite dimensional. In particular, we recapture the scalar case with a new flexible proof. In addition, extensions of usual operations of lower and upper limits for vector-valued mappings are explored. The main result is finally applied to obtain a continuous D.C. decomposition of continuous D.C. mappings. Dedicated to Alex Rubinov in honor of his 65th birthday     

Enthalpies molaires d'exces des melanges binaires thiophene et diethylsulfide avec n-alcanes

The excess molar enthalpy of thiophen and diethylsulfid with some n alkanes have been measured at 303.15 K and 1 atm. A Redlich—Kister type equation was used to represent and correlate the results. Empirical equations of group contribution model, disquac have been applied for the binaries systems.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Efficient Approach for the Synthesis of Novel Functionalized Isoxazolines from Limonene

New functionalized isoxazolines were effeciently and easily prepared from limonene. The procedure involves a peri‐ and regioselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides on the monoterpene external double bond, followed by a highly chemoselective RuCl₃‐NaIO₄ oxidative cleavage of the internal one. All the newly prepared isoxazolyl‐ketoacids were fully characterized from their spectroscopic data.     

Optimal control of a quasi-variational obstacle problem

We consider an optimal control where the state-control relation is given by a quasi-variational inequality, namely a generalized obstacle problem. We give an existence result for solutions to such a problem. The main tool is a stability result, based on the Mosco-convergence theory, that gives the weak closeness of the control-to-state operator. We end the paper with some examples.     

BER calculation in DS/CDMA over Rayleigh fading channel with power control error using fuzzy systems

We propose in this work, a simple method to calculate the bit error rate (BER) performance of a direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system over a Rayleigh multipath fading with power control error for both coherent and noncoherent reception, the RAKE structure receivers under consideration employ despreading sequences weighted (WDS) by exponential chip weighting waveforms. Numerical results show that the proposed approach reduce complexity and time of BER’s computing, then its performance does not undergo any degradation.     

New approach for the existence of pseudo almost periodic solutions for some second order differential equation with piecewise constant argument

The following equation d²/dt²(x(t)+px(t-1))=qx(2[(t+1)/2])+f(t)${\mathrm{d}}^2/\mathrm{d}{t}^2(x(t)+\mathit{px}(t-1))=\mathit{qx}(2[(t+1)/2])+f(t)$ is considered and necessary and sufficient conditions are given in order to ensure the existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost periodic solutions.     

Prospecting Quantum Correlations and Examining Teleportation Fidelity in a Pair of Coupled Double Quantum Dots System

The topic of improving the ability of quantum systems to retain non-local features and enhance the efficiency of quantum protocols continues. This study delves into the thermal investigation of quantum correlations and teleportation fidelity of a two-qubit teleported state using excess electrons in a coupled double quantum dots system as a quantum channel. The study employs three reliable quantum quantifiers to prospect the resourcefulness and non-classicality of the system. The findings suggest that preserving quantum correlations and optimizing teleportation fidelity require minimizing tunneling coupling and maximizing Coulomb interaction. The study has significant implications for quantum physics and its practical applications in quantum information processing.
