Fokker-Planck type equations with Sobolev diffusion coefficients and BV drift coefficients
In this paper we give an affirmative answer to an open question mentioned in
[Le Bris and Lions, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 33 (2008),
1272--1317], that is, we prove the well-posedness of the Fokker-Planck type
equations with Sobolev diffusion coefficients and BV drift coefficients.Comment: 11 pages. The proof has been modifie
Особенности процесса распылительной сушки высоковлажной биомассы Spirulina platensis
Проведен комплекс исследований по распылительному обезвоживанию биомассы Spirulina platensis, включающий исследование кинетических особенностей обезвоживания и теплотехнологических параметров распылительного способа сушки. Получены опытные партии порошков, проведен анализ дисперсионных и структурно-механических характеристик полученных порошков, показано, что процесс обезвоживания осуществляется при достаточно “мягких” термических условиях.Проведено комплекс досліджень розпилювального зневоднення біомаси Spirulina platensis, стосовно кінетичних особливостей сушіння та теплотехнологічних параметрів розпилювального способу сушки. Отримано дослідні партії порошків, проведено аналіз дисперсних та структурно-механічних характеристик отриманих порошків, виявлено, що процес зневоднення здійснюється при достатньо “м’яких” термічних умовах.A complex investigation of the spray drying of Spirulina platensis biomass have been carried out, which included studying of the kinetic properties of the dehydration process as well as the heat exchanging technological parametrs of spray drying technique. By using a pilot dryer, development types of the dry powdered product have been obtained. A analysis of the dispersion and mechanical characteristics of the powdered product being obtained has been performed. It has been shown that the drying processes has to be carried out at fairly soft dehydration regimes
Well-posedness of the transport equation by stochastic perturbation
We consider the linear transport equation with a globally Holder continuous
and bounded vector field. While this deterministic PDE may not be well-posed,
we prove that a multiplicative stochastic perturbation of Brownian type is
enough to render the equation well-posed. This seems to be the first explicit
example of partial differential equation that become well-posed under the
influece of noise. The key tool is a differentiable stochastic flow constructed
and analysed by means of a special transformation of the drift of Ito-Tanaka
type.Comment: Addition of new part
The Rosa genome provides new insights into the domestication of modern roses
Roses have high cultural and economic importance as ornamental plants and in the perfume industry. We report the rose whole-genome sequencing and assembly and resequencing of major genotypes that contributed to rose domestication. We generated a homozygous genotype from a heterozygous diploid modern rose progenitor, Rosa chinensis ‘Old Blush’. Using single-molecule real-time sequencing and a meta-assembly approach, we obtained one of the most comprehensive plant genomes to date. Diversity analyses highlighted the mosaic origin of ‘La France’, one of the first hybrids combining the growth vigor of European species and the recurrent blooming of Chinese species. Genomic segments of Chinese ancestry identified new candidate genes for recurrent blooming. Reconstructing regulatory and secondary metabolism pathways allowed us to propose a model of interconnected regulation of scent and flower color. This genome provides a foundation for understanding the mechanisms governing rose traits and should accelerate improvement in roses, Rosaceae and ornamentals
Alignment of the ALICE Inner Tracking System with cosmic-ray tracks
37 pages, 15 figures, revised version, accepted by JINSTALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiment devoted to investigating the strongly interacting matter created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC energies. The ALICE ITS, Inner Tracking System, consists of six cylindrical layers of silicon detectors with three different technologies; in the outward direction: two layers of pixel detectors, two layers each of drift, and strip detectors. The number of parameters to be determined in the spatial alignment of the 2198 sensor modules of the ITS is about 13,000. The target alignment precision is well below 10 micron in some cases (pixels). The sources of alignment information include survey measurements, and the reconstructed tracks from cosmic rays and from proton-proton collisions. The main track-based alignment method uses the Millepede global approach. An iterative local method was developed and used as well. We present the results obtained for the ITS alignment using about 10^5 charged tracks from cosmic rays that have been collected during summer 2008, with the ALICE solenoidal magnet switched off.Peer reviewe
Transverse momentum spectra of charged particles in proton-proton collisions at GeV with ALICE at the LHC
The inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution is measured
in proton-proton collisions at GeV at the LHC using the ALICE
detector. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region
over the transverse momentum range GeV/.
The correlation between transverse momentum and particle multiplicity is also
studied. Results are presented for inelastic (INEL) and non-single-diffractive
(NSD) events. The average transverse momentum for is (stat.) (syst.) GeV/ and
\left_{\rm NSD}=0.489\pm0.001 (stat.) (syst.)
GeV/, respectively. The data exhibit a slightly larger than measurements in wider pseudorapidity intervals. The results are
compared to simulations with the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and
PHOJET.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables, published version, figures at
