A relaxation result for micromagnetics in SBV

Relaxation in SBV p ( Ω ; S d − 1 )

An integral representation formula is obtained for the relaxation of a class of energy functionals defined in the class of SBVp functions that are constrained to have values on the sphere Sd−1.

Relaxation of Functionals in the Space of Vector-Valued Functions of Bounded Hessian

Variational models involving higher order derivatives of the underlying fields are ubiquitous in the mathematical analysis of materials and imaging science. As remarked by Demengel in [22], the space of functions of bounded Hessian, BH, is the natural setting for the study of certain problems in plasticity and elasto-plasticity (see e.g., [11] [14] [15] [19] [20] [21] [36] [39]). Similar functi...

Post-epidemic Schmallenberg virus circulation: parallel bovine serological and Culicoides virological surveillance studies in Ireland

BACKGROUND Schmallenberg virus (SBV) emerged in northern-Europe in 2011 resulting in an epidemic of ruminant abortions and congenital malformations throughout the continent. In the years following the epidemic there have been reports of SBV overwintering and continued circulation in several European countries. When the population-level of immunity declines in exposed regions, re-introduction of...

A compactness result for Landau state in thin-film micromagnetics

Growth of Dieffenbachia amoena ‘Tropic Snow’ in Growing Media Containing Sugarcane Bagasse and Sawdust Vermicompost

Vermicompost produced from sugarcane bagasse (SBV) or sawdust (S) were substituted at a range of different concentration in soilless bedding plant container medium, as a peat: vermiculite: perlite (6:3:1), to evaluate their effects on the growth of Dieffenbachia amoena in the greenhouse. Dieffenbachia amoena was grown in container medium PE: VE: P (6:3:1), in that peat substituted with 0%, 10%,...
