We verify functional a posteriori error estimate for obstacle problem proposed by Repin. Simplification into 1D allows for the construction of a nonlinear benchmark for which an exact solution of the obstacle problem can be derived. Quality of a numerical approximation obtained by the finite element method is compared with the exact solution and the error of approximation is bounded from above by a majorant error estimate. The sharpness of the majorant error estimate is discussed.
We verify functional a posteriori error estimates proposed by S. Repin for a class of obstacle problems in two space dimensions. New benchmarks with known analytical solution are constructed based on one dimensional benchmark introduced by P. Harasim and J. Valdman. Numerical approximation of the solution of the obstacle problem is obtained by the finite element method using bilinear elements on a rectangular mesh. Error of the approximation is measured by a functional majorant. The majorant value contains three unknown fields: a gradient field discretized by Raviart-Thomas elements, Lagrange multipliers field discretized by piecewise constant functions and a scalar parameter β. The minimization of the majorant value is realized by an alternate minimization algorithm, whose convergence is discussed. Numerical results validate two estimates, the energy estimate bounding the error of approximation in the energy norm by the difference of energies of discrete and exact solutions and the majorant estimate bounding the difference of energies of discrete and exact solutions by the value of the functional majorant.
The article presents results of the verification calculation of the method for the calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes of a linear undamped rotationally periodic systems considering the possibility of the elimination of degrees of freedom. As the test example a thin circular plate was chosen. The method can be applied e.g. for the calculation of the natural vibration characteristics of the steam turbine bladed disks. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
At the modernization of the ŠKODA 22 Tr low-floor articulated trolleybus a different type of an articulated joint and a different type of driving axles were used in its construction besides other changes. During test drives with the modernized trolleybus, which were focused on the driving stability of the vehicle, a large roll of the rear section appeared. A suitable structural solution for reducing the rear section roll angle of the modernized trolleybus was the using of a rear section stabilizer bar. The stabilizer effect on dynamic properties of the vehicle and a suitable bar diameter were determined on the basis of the results of the computer simulations with the trolleybus multibody models. The text drives focused on the vehicle driving stability were performed again with the loaded real trolleybus, in the structure of which the designed rear section stabilizer bar was applied. On the basis of computer simulations of the test drives with the trolleybus multibody models the correctness of the experimantal-simulation approach used for the stabilizer bar structural design was verified. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Vermiculite in its macroscopic form occurs in the Archaean supracrustal rocks exposed towards east of Sargur supracrustal complex in Karnataka state. The present study forms the first detailed work on the occurrence of vermiculite associated with the ultramafic rocks in the Agasthyapura, which lies in the long. 76° 50’ 658” and lat. 12° 15’ 976”. Petrography, X-ray diffraction, FTIR, DTA&TGA, SEM, fluid inclusion and electron probe analyses are presented in this contribution study. The probable origin of vermiculite from biotite through hydrobiotite is discussed., Kikkeri N. Prakash Narasimha, Honnaiah Ramalingaiah, Karel Melka, K. Krishnaveni, Pinnelli S. R.

In presented work natural expanded vermiculite was used as a starting material for synthesis of Fe-doped catalysts. Material was modified with increasing amount of Fe by ion-exchange and precipitation of iron oxide. Composite materials were characterized with respect to their structure (X-ray diffraction, Infrared spectra using Diffuse Reflectance), agglomeration state of Fe (Ultraviolet-Visible spectra using Diffuse Reflectance) and chemical composition. Activity in H2O2 decomposition as well as in phenol oxidation was studied in liquid phase at atmospheric pressure and temperature up to 70 °C. It was shown that doping with Fe increases catalytic activity. However, excess of iron resulted in formation of undesired side-products., Agnieszka Węgrzyn, Lucjan Chmielarz, Paweł Zjeżdżalka, Magdalena Jabłońska, Andrzej Kowalczyk, Agata Żelazny, Manuel Vázquez Sulleiro and Marek Michalik., and Obsahuje bibliografii
This article offers a model, based on the physical conditions of articulation, for the relation between Sumerian and Akkadian stops. Other models can be discounted with a high probability. It is further argued, that the use of signs in older Akkadian should not be interpreted only from one of the two languages involved. From this point of view, a probably (if not fully provable) theory for the Akkadian š and its Sumerian counterparts is developed.
Vision is a fascinating example of the interaction of a biological system with the outside world. The first step of translating electromagnetic energy into a biologically recognizable signal involves the phototransduction cascade in retinal photoreceptor cells. Phototransduction is the best studied example of a GTP binding protein (G protein)- coupled signal transduction pathway. A great body of knowledge about phototransduction has been established in the past several decades but there are still many unanswered questions, particularly about photoresponse recovery and adaptation. The purpose of this review is to outline the events following photon absorption by vertebrate photoreceptors, to demonstrate the great complexity of the phototransduction cascade mechanisms, and to point out some of the controversies arising from recent fmdings in the field of visual transduction.
