Hydrodynamic properties for a class of nondiffusive particle systems are investigated. The method allows one to study local equilibria for a class of asymmetric zero-range processes, and applies as well to other models, such as asymmetric simple exclusion and misanthropes. Attractiveness is an essential ingredient. The hydrodynamic equations present shock wave phenomena. Preservation of local equilibrium is proven to hold away from the shocks. The problem of breakdown of local ergodicity at the shocks, which was investigated by D. Wick in a particular model, remains open in this more general setup. 相似文献
Interest about simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data acquisition has rapidly increased during the last years because of the possibility that the combined method offers to join temporal and spatial resolution, providing in this way a powerful tool to investigate spontaneous and evoked brain activities. However, several intrinsic features of MRI scanning become sources of artifacts on EEG data. Noise sources of a highly predictable nature such as those related to the pulse MRI sequence and those determined by magnetic gradient switching during scanning do not represent a major problem and can be easily removed. On the contrary, the ballistocardiogram (BCG) artifact, a large signal visible on all EEG traces and related to cardiac activity inside the magnetic field, is determined by sources that are not fully stereotyped and causing important limitations in the use of artifact-removing strategies. Recently, it has been proposed to use independent component analysis (ICA) to remove BCG artifact from EEG signals. ICA is a statistical algorithm that allows blind separation of statistically independent sources when the only available information is represented by their linear combination. An important drawback with most ICA algorithms is that they exhibit a stochastic behavior: each run yields slightly different results such that the reliability of the estimated sources is difficult to assess. In this preliminary report, we present a method based on running the FastICA algorithm many times with slightly different initial conditions. Clustering structure in the signal space of the obtained components provides us with a new way to assess the reliability of the estimated sources. 相似文献
The paper presents the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro cytotoxicity tests of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoclusters coated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA). Electron microscopy analysis (SEM) evidences that magnetite nanoparticles are closely packed into the clusters stabilized with EDTA with well-defined near spherical shapes and sizes in the range 100–200 nm. From XRD measurements, we determined the mean size of the crystallites inside the magnetic cluster about 36 nm. The saturation magnetization determined for the magnetic clusters stabilized with EDTA has high value, about 81.7 emu/g at 300 K. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to determine both the elemental and chemical structure of the magnetic cluster surface. In vitro studies have shown that the magnetic clusters at low doses did not induce toxicity on human umbilical vein endothelial cells or lesions of the cell membrane. In contrast, at high doses, the magnetic clusters increased the lipid peroxidation and reduced the leakage of a cytoplasmic enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), in parallel with increasing the antioxidant defense.
Riassunto Si indicano una costruzione e alcune proprietà del morfismo terminale nella categoria degli epimorfismi iniettivi di dato
dominioA, conA anello commutativo unitario ridotto. Si considerano poi certi epimorfismi di dominioA, detti ?S-spezzamenti irriducibili? (S⊂A). GliS-spezzamenti irriducibili a codominio ridotto risultano parametrizzati (a meno di isomorfismi) dai chiusi di una opportuna
topologia su SpecA.
Summary LetA be any reduced commutative ring with 1. Consider the category of injective ring-epimorphisms with domainA. In the first part of this paper, a construction and some properties of a final morphism in the above category are shown.
In the second part, some special epimorphisms with domainA are considered, which are called irreducible ?S-spezzamenti?. A parametrization of the collection of irreducible ?S-spezzamenti? (up to isomorphisms) is given, by the collection of closed sets of a suitable topology on SpecA.

Riassunto In questa nota gli Autori stabiliscono dei principi variazionali che caratterizzano in maniera completa il più generale problema
ai limiti sia della statica sia della dinamica di una miscela isotropa di due solidi elastici lineari. Questi principi sono
del tutto generali poichè non si richiede agli stati o processi ammissibili di soddisfare ad alcuna delle equazioni di campo
e delle condizioni iniziali o al contorno. Tale risultato viene ottenuto esprimendo i problemi considerati in forma operazionale.
Summary In this paper the Authors establish variational principles which characterize the most general boundary-value problem for
statics and dynamics of an isotropic mixture of two linear elastic solids. These principles are completely general because
the admissible states or processes are not required to meet any of the field equations, boundary or initial conditions and
they are obtained by expressing the problems in operator form.
