Inspired by the work of Marcellini and Papi [MP] we consider local minima u: R n ⊃ Ω → RM of variational integrals of the form ∫ Ω h(|∇u|) dx and prove interior gradient bounds under rather general assumptions on h working with the additional hypothesis that u is locally bounded. Our requirements imposed on the density h do not involve the dimension n.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and is associated with nosocomial infections. Its ability to thrive in a broad range of environments is due to a large and diverse genome of which its accessory genome is part. The objective of this study was to characterize P. aeruginosa strains isolated from children who developed bacteremia, using pulse-field gel electrophoresis, and in ter...

Bacteria have developed an epigenetic phase variation mechanism to control cell surface pili-adhesin complexes between heritable expression (phase ON) and nonexpression (phase OFF) states. In the pyelonephritis-associated pili (pap) system, global regulators [catabolite gene activator protein (CAP), leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp), DNA adenine methylase (Dam)] and local regulators (...

The purpose of the PAPI project is to specify a standard application programming interface (API) for accessing hardware performance counters available on most modern microprocessors. These counters exist as a small set of registers that count events, which are occurrences of specific signals related to the processor’s function. Monitoring these events facilitates correlation between the structu...

During the past decade, archaeological studies conducted in the Seymareh River catchment area have provided invaluable findings for analytical investigations and, thus, gaining insights into various fields such as pottery, architecture, and multifarious cultural artefacts. Amongst the most significant of such archaeological findings are cemeteries with their cultural implications, which provide...

La connaissance des événements passés constitue désormais un fondements de la gestion risques naturels. Ce travail présente les résultats d’une étude historique crues, réalisée dans le cadre l’élaboration d’un Programme d’Action et Prévention Inondations (PAPI) rivière française Meurthe. Une reconstitution hauteurs d’eau observées depuis début du XIXe siècle a été grâce à collecte d’analyse d’a...

The Blue Gene/Q (BG/Q) system is the third generation in the IBM Blue Gene line of massively parallel, energy efficient supercomputers that increases not only in size but also in complexity compared to its Blue Gene predecessors. Consequently, gaining insight into the intricate ways in which software and hardware are interacting requires richer and more capable performance analysis methods in o...
