Addendum to "Maximal regularity and Hardy spaces"

We correct an inaccuracy in a previous article [Auscher, Pascal; Bernicot, Fr\'ed\'eric; Zhao, Jiman. Maximal regularity and Hardy spaces. Collect. Math. 59 (2008), no. 1, 103-127.

Concurrent Cross Metathesis and Enzymatic Oxidation: Enabling Off-Equilibrium Transformations

Criss‐cross catalysis: H. Zhao, J. F. Hartwig and co‐workers have combined homogeneous alkene metathesis and biocatalysis in a concurrent fashion. A ruthenium–N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex provides an equilibrating mixture of cross metathesis products. The selective simultaneous epoxidation by cytochrome P450 BM3 enables product yields well above the hypothetical two‐step process

On the Kinetic Roughening in Polymer Film Growth by Vapor Deposition

This is a Comment on a recent publication: Y.-P. Zhao et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 3229 (2000). In the Letter, the authors report on an experimental investigation of polymeric (p-xylene) thin film growth and propose a new universality class not previously known. Here, we point out that the critical exponents reported in the Letter are consistent with the critical exponents of Das Sarma-Tamborenea growth model.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure include

Effects of duration and temperature of heating of sunflower oil on ruminal linoleic acid biohydrogenation in vitro

Feeding cows with heat treated oilseeds results in an increase of milk conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) content compared to feeding raw seeds. Heating leads to a lipid peroxidation, which could reduce the amount of fatty acids (FA) subjected to biohydrogenation and produce peroxides which could act directly on this reaction. The effects of heating duration and temperature, on the biohydrogenation were examined. Sunflower oil was heated at 150°C during 0, 3, 14, or 22 h, or during 3 h at 70, 100, 130, or 160°C. Peroxides in oils were determined by the peroxide index (PI), and fatty acids in samples incubated during 6 h were analysed by gas chromatography. Increasing heating duration was more efficient than increasing heating temperature for peroxides production: PI = 15.9, 41.9, 93.0, and 162.8 mEq/kg for 0, 3, 14, and 22 h of heating, respectively, and PI = 40.9, 35.9, 84.0, and 88.2 mEq/kg for 70, 100, 130, and 160 °C of heating, respectively. For each mEq of PI/kg, FA content decreased by 0.11% (P=0.003; R2=0.177). After incubation, the percents of cis9,trans11-CLA (C18:2c9t11) and trans-vaccenic acid (C18:1t11) were significantly correlated with the heating duration: C18:2c9t11 (% of FA) = -0.040 DURATION (h) + 1.783 (P=0.000; R2=0.830) and C18:1t11 (% of FA) = -0.743 DURATION (h) + 3.711 (P=0.001; R2=0.396). The percent of C18:2c9t11 was significantly correlated with the heating temperature: C18:2c9t11 (% of FA) = -0.007 TEMPERATURE (°C) + 2.457 (P=0.006; R2=0.296), but this relationship was lower than for heating duration, and there was no effect of temperature on C18:1t11 percent, possibly because high heating temperature generated less peroxides than long heating duration. Across the two studied parameters, the relationship between the percent of C18:2c9t11 and the level of peroxides was significant: C18:2c9t11 (% of FA) = -0.007 PI (mEq/kg) + 1.998 (P=0.000; R2=0.494). This 0.35% relative decrease for one mEq of PI/kg, suggested that the effect was mainly due to the peroxides, not only to the decrease of FA content. In conclusion, increasing temperature and mainly heating duration of oil led to a decrease of C18:2c9t11 production in the rumen probably due to the lipid peroxidation. Increasing heating duration also decreased C18:1t11 production. These results suggest that peroxides cannot explain the increase of milk CLA noticed in the milk from cows eating heated oilseeds, and that a good quality fat, without lipids oxidation products, is necessary to increase CLA and C18:1t11 production in the rumen

Strict singularity of a Volterra-type integral operator on H^p

We consider a Volterra-type integral operator $$T_gf(z)=\int_0^z f(\zeta)g\u27(\zeta) d\zeta,$$ acting on the Hardy spaces H^p of the unit disc. The operator T_g was introduced by Ch. Pommerenke and it has been studied systematically by several people including A. Aleman, A.G. Siskakis and R. Zhao among others. From a functional analytic point of view, one interesting notion is the strict singularity of a linear operator between Banach spaces. An operator is strictly singular if its restriction to any infinite-dimensional subspace is not an isomorphism onto its range. We discuss our recent result, which states that a non-compact T_g fixes an isomorphic copy of the sequence space l^p. In particular, the strict singularity of T_g coincides with its compactness on spaces H^p
