Determination of some lattice sum limits

The field of city logistics can be characterized by its many local demonstrations and trials, that are quite often not lasting longer than the trial period. The number of demonstrations that continued and were implemented in daily practice is limited. Freight partnerships proved to be a good first step to engage stakeholders. This contribution proposes a new way to develop a more action-driven form of these partnerships that follows from a solution approach, which has proved successful worldwide in fostering innovation deployment, but has not yet been applied explicitly in the domain of City Logistics: Living Labs. The living lab approach ensures that the stakeholders are involved much earlier in the in planning and implementation processes, and that the proposed city logistics implementation is revised and continuously improved to meet stakeholder needs and obtain maximum impact for a long time. This contribution summarizes the steps that have to be taken to set-up and work in a city logistics living lab (CLLL). A CLLL can be defined as a dynamic test environment where complex city logistics innovations can be implemented, following a cyclical approach, where several solutions can be experimented and re-adjusted or improved to fit the real-life city challenges. In the Horizon 2020 project CITYLAB, we developed practical guidelines for establishing and running a city logistics living lab based on several living lab- and field test methodologies that enables stakeholders to set-up and run a CLLL. This contribution discusses the most important CLLL phases, roles, and characteristics, as well as the tools that are available. Next, this contribution shows the first results of cities in which CLLLs are actually set up, or already running. © 2016 The Authors

Dielectric properties of Au/C60(OH)24-26/Au structure

Dielectric properties of the Au/C60 (OH)24-26/Au structure were studied by measuring a.c. impedance and d.c. current in a wide temperature range. Three dielectric response characteristics were identified from Cole-Cole plots of a.c. impedance and dielectric dissipation factor of the structure. First, the bulk resistance and capacitance of the structure were observed at frequencies below 10 Hz, regardless of preparation condition of the Au electrode. Secondly, an interfacial characteristic of the Au foil/C60 (OH)24-26 contact was observed as a peak of dielectric dissipation factor at frequency of 200 Hz. Thirdly, an interfacial characteristic of the Au paste/C60 (OH)24-26 contact was also observed as a peak of dielectric dissipation factor at frequency of 1.7×〖10〗^5 Hz

On some point groups

In this note, we indicate the coincidence as abstract groups of some point groups which belong to different molecular orbitals. This elucidates somewhat vague presentation in many existing textbooks on molecular orbitals, thus abridging between group theory and quantum chemistry

Condons and Codes

In this paper we assemble a few ingredients that are remotely connected to each other, but governed by the rule of coding theory ([1], [12]) and formal language theory, i.e. cyclic codes and DNA codes. Our interest arose from the remark that there exist both linear and circular DNAs in higher living organisms. We state the theory of codes in a wide sense due to [1] in order to understand the circular DNAs while we state rudiments of formal language theory as a means to interpret genes. We hope this will be a starter for unifying two approaches depending on the theory of codes and that of formal language
