    Weighted estimates for solutions of the \partial -equation for lineally convex domains of finite type and applications to weighted bergman projections

    Full text link
    In this paper we obtain sharp weighted estimates for solutions of the \partial-equation in a lineally convex domains of finite type. Precisely we obtain estimates in spaces of the form L p ({\Omega},δ\delta γ\gamma), δ\delta being the distance to the boundary, with gain on the index p and the exponent γ\gamma. These estimates allow us to extend the L p ({\Omega},δ\delta γ\gamma) and lipschitz regularity results for weighted Bergman projection obtained in [CDM14b] for convex domains to more general weights

    Estimates for the Bergman and Szegö projections for pseudoconvex domains of finite type with locally diagonalizable Levi form

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we give precise isotropic and non-isotropic estimates for the Bergman and Szegö projections of a bounded pseudoconvex domain whose boundary points are all of finite type and with locally diagonalizable Levi form. Additional local results on estimates of invariant metrics are also given

    Let Ω\Omega be a bounded pseuco-convex domain in Cn\Bbb C^n with a \Cal C^{\infty} boundary, and let SS be the set of strictly pseudo-convex points of Ω\partial\Omega. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of holomorphic functions along normals arising from points of SS. We extend results obtained by M. Ortel and W. Schneider in the unit disc and those of A. Iordan and Y. Dupain in the unit ball of Cn\Bbb C^n. We establish the existence of holomorphic functions of given growth having a "prescribed behaviour" on almost all normals arising from points of SS

    Maximization of propylene in an industrial FCC unit

    YesThe FCC riser cracks gas oil into useful fuels such as gasoline, diesel and some lighter products such as ethylene and propylene, which are major building blocks for the polyethylene and polypropylene production. The production objective of the riser is usually the maximization of gasoline and diesel, but it can also be to maximize propylene. The optimization and parameter estimation of a six-lumped catalytic cracking reaction of gas oil in FCC is carried out to maximize the yield of propylene using an optimisation framework developed in gPROMS software 5.0 by optimizing mass flow rates and temperatures of catalyst and gas oil. The optimal values of 290.8 kg/s mass flow rate of catalyst and 53.4 kg/s mass flow rate of gas oil were obtained as propylene yield is maximized to give 8.95 wt%. When compared with the base case simulation value of 4.59 wt% propylene yield, the maximized propylene yield is increased by 95%

    Population dynamics and genetic connectivity in recent chimpanzee history

    Knowledge on the population history of endangered species is critical for conservation, but whole-genome data on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) is geographically sparse. Here, we produced the first non-invasive geolocalized catalog of genomic diversity by capturing chromosome 21 from 828 non-invasive samples collected at 48 sampling sites across Africa. The four recognized subspecies show clear genetic differentiation correlating with known barriers, while previously undescribed genetic exchange suggests that these have been permeable on a local scale. We obtained a detailed reconstruction of population stratification and fine-scale patterns of isolation, migration, and connectivity, including a comprehensive picture of admixture with bonobos (Pan paniscus). Unlike humans, chimpanzees did not experience extended episodes of long-distance migrations, which might have limited cultural transmission. Finally, based on local rare variation, we implement a fine-grained geolocalization approach demonstrating improved precision in determining the origin of confiscated chimpanzees

    Quantitative estimates of glacial refugia for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) since the Last Interglacial (120,000 BP).

    Paleoclimate reconstructions have enhanced our understanding of how past climates have shaped present-day biodiversity. We hypothesize that the geographic extent of Pleistocene forest refugia and suitable habitat fluctuated significantly in time during the late Quaternary for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Using bioclimatic variables representing monthly temperature and precipitation estimates, past human population density data, and an extensive database of georeferenced presence points, we built a model of changing habitat suitability for chimpanzees at fine spatio-temporal scales dating back to the Last Interglacial (120,000 BP). Our models cover a spatial resolution of 0.0467° (approximately 5.19 km2 grid cells) and a temporal resolution of between 1000 and 4000 years. Using our model, we mapped habitat stability over time using three approaches, comparing our modeled stability estimates to existing knowledge of Afrotropical refugia, as well as contemporary patterns of major keystone tropical food resources used by chimpanzees, figs (Moraceae), and palms (Arecacae). Results show habitat stability congruent with known glacial refugia across Africa, suggesting their extents may have been underestimated for chimpanzees, with potentially up to approximately 60,000 km2 of previously unrecognized glacial refugia. The refugia we highlight coincide with higher species richness for figs and palms. Our results provide spatio-temporally explicit insights into the role of refugia across the chimpanzee range, forming the empirical foundation for developing and testing hypotheses about behavioral, ecological, and genetic diversity with additional data. This methodology can be applied to other species and geographic areas when sufficient data are available
