A geometric interpretation of the transition density of a symmetric Lévy process

We study for a class of symmetric Lévy processes with state space R n the transition density pt（x） in terms of two one-parameter families of metrics, （dt）t>0 and （δt）t>0. The first family of metrics describes the diagonal term pt（0）; it is induced by the characteristic exponent ψ of the Lévy process by dt（x, y） = ^1/2tψ（x-y）. The second and new family of metrics δt relates to ^1/2tψ through the formulawhere F denotes the Fourier transform. Thus we obtain the following "Gaussian" representation of the transition density: pt（x） = pt（0）e- δ2t （x,0） where pt（0） corresponds to a volume term related to tψ and where an "exponential" decay is governed by δ2t . This gives a complete and new geometric, intrinsic interpretation of pt（x）.     

Impact of a bead on a rotating wall

We study experimentally the impact of a plastic bead on a rotating wall made of steel (velocity Ω; radial position x₀). The results show that the restitution coefficient is directly function of the impact velocity x₀Ω and is invariant by changing frame reference. The influence of the height of release of the particle on its angular velocity after impact is also studied. We observe an increase of the angular velocity with height followed by a saturation. We propose an interpretation for this evolution considering that the particle may roll without sliding during all the impact. This physical feature is not always taken into account in existing models of impact between rigid bodies. To cite this article: F. Rioual et al., C. R. Mecanique 336 (2008).

Uncertainty Relations in Terms of Fisher Information

By virtue of the well-known concept of Fisher information in the theory of statistical inference, we obtain an inequality chain which generalizes and refines the conventional Heisenberg uncertainty relations.

Structure initiale et propriétés de liquéfaction statique d'un sableInitial structure and static liquefaction properties of sand.

Based on the use of two different preparation procedures for reconstituting triaxial samples of sand, i.e. wet tamping and dry pluviation, significant differences in associated mechanical behaviour are observed on a reference sand with respect to the phenomenon of ‘static’ liquefaction. Wet tamping favours the initiation of liquefaction instability, whereas dry pluviation favours a more stable behaviour, less susceptible to liquefaction. Microscopic observation of corresponding sand specimens allows us to identify two well differentiated structures, i.e., for wet tamping, an irregular structure with predominance of aggregates (aggregated grains) and macropores, very contractant and unstable and, for dry pluviation, a more regular structure, without macropores, more dilatant and more stable. These observations show the importance of further characterization, based on the introduction of appropriate parameters, of the initial structure of sandy materials, strongly dependant upon their mode of formation (natural or artificial).

L-半胱氨酸自组装膜修饰金电极的电化学特性

采用电化学石英晶体微天平（EQCM）和循环伏安法（CV）研究了L-半胱氨酸在金电极表面形成自组装膜的机理及其电化学性质.结果表明, L-半胱氨酸分子在金电极表面有特性吸附，而且在等电点pH附近因静电引力和氢键作用形成分子对，从而自组装形成双层膜.该膜电极在0.2 mol•L－1的醋酸缓冲溶液中，于－0.2～0.5 V(vs SCE)间CV扫描出现了一对稳定的氧化还原峰，并对抗坏血酸的氧化有良好的催化作用.
