The Zero Locus of Symmetric Polynomials

Topping, Heather

Homogeneous polynomials $f_1, f_2, \dots, f_n$ form a regular sequence in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n]$ when the reduced affine variety of these polynomials only contains the origin. In this report, ...

Zero-Delay Lossy Coding of Linear Vector Markov Sources with Applications to Networked Control

Ghomi, Meysam

In this thesis we study the optimal zero-delay coding (quantization) of $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued linearly generated Markov sources under quadratic distortion. The structure and existence of deterministic and stationary ...

Zeta Potential of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in Contact with Aqueous Electrolyte–Surfactant Solutions

Khademi, Mahmoud; Wang, Wuchun; Reitinger, Wolfgang; Barz, Dominik P. J. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-10-10)

The addition of surfactants can considerably impact the electrical characteristics of an interface, and the zeta potential measurement is the standard method for its characterization. In this article, a comprehensive study ...

Zinc exposure increases resistance to polymyxins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa through activation of the arn operon and two-component regulatory systems

Giovannitti, Oliver

Metal cations have long been known to play a role in driving antibiotic resistance. The metal cation Zn2+ has previously been shown to drive antibiotic resistance in various bacterial species, including the opportunistic ...

A Zinc(II) Benzamidinate-N-oxide Complex as an Aggregation-Induced Emission Material: toward Solution-Processable White Organic Light-Emitting Devices

Cibian, Mihaela; Shahalizad, Afshin; Souissi, Fathi; Castro, Jessica; Ferreira, Janaina; Chartrand, Daniel; Nunzi, JM; Hanan, Garry (Wiley, 2018-10-11)

The synthesis, characterization, photophysical and redox properties of a dinuclear complex Zn2(AMOX)4 (AMOX = 4-bromo N,N’-diphenylbenzamidinate-N-oxide) are highlighted. This compound is a first example of a novel class ...
