Carbon layers grown on lead zirco-titanate (PZT) weakly interact with the substrate and exhibit nearly two dimensional character, up to a carbon surface density approaching that of graphene.

A set of 10, chosen medicinal plants (some of them with a reputation as remedies for tuberculosis) has been investigated through Partitioned Iterated Function Systems-Semi Fractals with Angle (PIFS-SFA) coding, Lempel, Ziv, Welch with quantization and noise (LZW-QN) compression, and surface density statistics (f(α)-SDS) discrimination techniques. The final outcomes of this quantitative analysis were, firstly: the linear ordering of the plants in question accompanied by the hope that it reflects their medical significance, secondly: the mathematical representation of each of the plants, and thirdly: the impressive compression achieved, leading to remarkable computer memory saving, and still permitting successful pattern recognition i.e., proper identification of the plant from the compressed image.

AbstractA self-consistent model for charged particles, accounting for quantum confinement, diffusive transport and electrostatic interaction is considered. The electrostatic potential is a solution of a three-dimensional Poisson equation with the particle density as the source term. This density is the product of a two-dimensional surface density and that of a one-dimensional mixed quantum state. The surface density is the solution of a drift–diffusion equation with an effective surface potential deduced from the fully three-dimensional one and which involves the diagonalization of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator. The overall problem is viewed as a two-dimensional drift–diffusion equation coupled to a Schrödinger–Poisson system. The latter is proven to be well posed by a convex minimization technique. A relative entropy and an a priori $L^2$ estimate provide sufficient bounds to prove existence and uniqueness of a global-in-time solution. In the case of thermodynamic equilibrium boundary data, a unique stationary solution is proven to exist. The relative entropy allows us to prove the convergence of the transient solution towards it as time grows to infinity. Finally, the low-order approximation of the relative entropy is used to prove that this convergence is exponential in time.
