A rational approximant of third order, which is applied to a three-time level recurrence relation, is used to transform the two-dimensional sine-Gordon (SG) equation into a second-order initial-value problem. The resulting nonlinear finite-difference scheme, which is analyzed for stability, is...

Using a narrative approach, we describe the emergence of a « Doubly Green Chemistry » more as the product of a collective action in building a new sector, than an innovation breakthrough brought by individual actors. This action is initiated by the agricultural and agroindustrial firms that...

We investigate the dynamics of a single semiflexible filament under the action of external forces. We show that unlike in stiff elastic rods in the thermally activated semiflexible filaments external forces applied at one extremity of the filament do not propagate to the other end till the...

We present a new algorithm to predict RNA secondary structures with pseudoknots. The method is based on a classification of RNA structures according to their topological genus. The algorithm utilizes a simplified parametrization of the free energies for pair stacking, loop penalties, etc. and in...

The zinc acetato and triflato complexes of 2,2’-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline were prepared and completely characterised. The whole series (including the already described dichlorido complexes and the ligands themselves) were screened for their catalytic activity in the solvent free...

This paper examines the dispersive properties of multisymplectic discretizations of linear and nonlinear PDEs. We focus on a leapfrog in space and time scheme and the Preissman box scheme. We find that the numerical dispersion relations are monotonic and determine the relationship between the...

Travelling wave solutions for the Boussinesq-double sine-Gordon (B-sine-Gordon) equation, the Boussinesq-double sinh-Gordon equation (B-sinh-Gordon), and the Boussinesq-Liouville (BL) equation are formally derived. The approach rests mainly on the variable separated ODE method. Distinct sets of...
