Několik příspěvků v tomto čísle cituje dílo A. Procy v souvislosti s problémem možné nenulové hmotnosti fotonu. Ukážeme zde, že dílo tohoto francouzského teoretického fyzika rumunského původu je mnohem rozsáhlejší. Byl skutečně významným a všestranným fyzikem., In this year we commemorate 60 years since the death of Alexandru Proca, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. He was a French scientist of Romanian origin. He developed the vector meson theory of nuclear forces and the relativistic quantum field equations which bear his name (Proca‘s equations) for the massive, vector spin-1 mesons., Ivo Kraus., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
The γ-subunits of chloroplast ATP synthases are about 30 amino acids longer than the bacterial or mitochondrial homologous proteins. This additional sequence is located in the mean part of the polypeptide chain and includes in green algae and higher plants two cysteines (Cys198 and Cys204 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii) responsible for thiol regulation. In order to investigate its functional significance, a segment ranging from Asp-D210 to Arg-226 in the γ-subunit of chloroplast ATP synthase from C. reinhardtii was deleted. This deletion mutant called T2 grows photoautotrophically, but slowly than the parental strain. The chloroplast ATP synthase complex with the mutated γ is assembled, membrane bound, and as CF0CF1 displays normal ATPase activity, but photophosphorylation is inhibited by about 20 %. This inhibition is referred to lower light-induced transmembrane proton gradient. Reduction of the proton gradient is apparently caused by a disturbed functional connection between CF1 and CF0 effecting a partially leaky ATP synthase complex.
We consider a decision-making problem to evaluate absolute ratings of alternatives that are compared in pairs according to two criteria, subject to box constraints on the ratings. The problem is formulated as the log-Chebyshev approximation of two pairwise comparison matrices by a common consistent matrix (a symmetrically reciprocal matrix of unit rank), to minimize the approximation errors for both matrices simultaneously. We rearrange the approximation problem as a constrained bi-objective optimization problem of finding a vector that determines the approximating consistent matrix, and then represent the problem in terms of tropical algebra. We apply methods and results of tropical optimization to derive an analytical solution of the constrained problem. The solution consists in introducing two new variables that describe the values of the objective functions and allow reducing the problem to the solution of a system of parameterized inequalities constructed for the unknown vector, where the new variables play the role of parameters. We exploit the existence condition for solutions of the system to derive those values of the parameters that belong to the Pareto front inherent to the problem. Then, we solve the system for the unknown vector and take all solutions that correspond to the Pareto front, as a complete solution of the bi-objective problem. We apply the result obtained to the bi-criteria decision problem under consideration and present illustrative examples.
Fractal image coding is a new and modern technique for lossy image compression. This paper contains a general description of fractal image compression techniques and describes basic algorithms used for encoding and decoding of images. Some examples are presented. For our experiments we use the famous static gray-scale image of LENNA. Some problems of color image coding are also shortly mentioned. and Fraktálové kódování obrazů patří mezi nové účinné techniky ztrátové komprese obrazů.
