Incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering in isomeric alcohols

1992

Abstract Incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (IQENS) data on liquid isomeric alcohols normal-pentanol (n-PeOH) and 2-methyl-2-butanol (2M-2BuOH) and on their mixture are presented. The diffusive motion of protons, as a function of temperature, is analyzed in the framework of the random jump diffusion model. The temperature dependence of the parameters obtained confirms the more “fragile” behaviour of the more sterically hindered 2M-2BuOH with respect to that of the linear n-PeOH.

Current research in biotechnology: Exploring the biotech forefront

2019

Abstract Biotechnology is an evolving research field that covers a broad range of topics. Here we aimed to evaluate the latest research literature, to identify prominent research themes, major contributors in terms of institutions, countries/regions, and journals. The Web of Science Core Collection online database was searched to retrieve biotechnology articles published since 2017. In total, 12,351 publications were identified and analyzed. Over 8500 institutions contributed to these biotechnology publications, with the top 5 most productive ones scattered over France, China, the United States of America, Spain, and Brazil. Over 140 countries/regions contributed to the biotechnology resear…

Le PMI del Mezzogiorno nel tunnel della crisi

2009

Il lavoro analizza la dinamica delle PMI meridionali nel periodo della crisi (ultimo trimestre 2008 e 2009) mettendola a confronto con quella media nazionale, anche con riferimento ai segmenti più dinamici dell’industria meridionale che si presentano come i più idonei a fronteggiare i principali effetti della crisi e a fornire risposte in merito all’avvio di processi di ristrutturazione produttiva. In tal senso, si esamina l’andamento aggregato delle PMI meridionali nel periodo della crisi, confrontando la dinamica di tali imprese con quella delle PMI centro-settentrionali e successivamente ci si sofferma sulle dinamiche manifestate dalle PMI nei diversi settori e sulle eventuali risposte d…

Search for gamma ray bursts with the ARGO-YBJ detector in scaler mode

2009

We report on the search for Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the energy range 1-100 GeV in coincidence with the prompt emission detected by satellites using the Astrophysical Radiation with Ground-based Observatory at YangBaJing (ARGO-YBJ) air shower detector. Thanks to its mountain location (Yangbajing, Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.), active surface (about 6700 m**2 of Resistive Plate Chambers), and large field of view (about 2 sr, limited only by the atmospheric absorption), the ARGO-YBJ air shower detector is particularly suitable for the detection of unpredictable and short duration events such as GRBs. The search is carried out using the "single particle technique", i.e. counting all the …

The ARGO-YBJ experiment in Tibet

2008

The setting up of the ARGO detector at the YangBaJing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m a.s.l., Tibet, P.R. China) has been completed during the last spring (2007). It consists of a central carpet made of 130 identical sub-units of 12 RPCs each (a "cluster"), covering a surface of about 5800 m2 with 93% active area, and a guard ring of 24 further clusters of the same type surrounding the central carpet with a lower sampling density. Signals are picked up by external electrodes of small size, thus allowing the sampling of EAS with high space-time granularity. Shower events are detected at a trigger rate of about 4 kHz. Events with a few particles detected by a single cluster are counted in scale…

Relaxation phenomena in mixed isomeric alcohols by Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering

1991

Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering data in mixed isomeric alcohols n-pentanol (nPe-OH) and 2-methyl-2-butanol (2Me-2BuOH) are presented. The hypersonic velocity and normalized absorption are measured as a function of the scattering angle, in the temperature range from - 15-degrees-C to + 45-degrees-C, and as a function of n-PeOH molar fraction going from the pure n-PeOH to the pure 2Me-2BuOH. The experimental results confirm the existence of a shear relaxation phenomenon in the GHz region, that has been previously detected in pure liquids. The temperature dependence of the relaxation time tau-s and of the shear modulus G-infinity evaluated within viscoelastic liquid models, support the existen…
