Bandgap behavior and singularity of the domain-induced light scattering through the pressure-induced ferroelectric transition in relaxor ferroelectri…

2018

[EN] In this letter, we have investigated the electronic structure of A(x)Ba(1-x)Nb(2)O(6) relaxor ferroelectrics on the basis of optical absorption spectroscopy in unpoled single crystals with A = Sr and Ca under high pressure. The direct character of the fundamental transition could be established by fitting Urbach's rule to the photon energy dependence of the absorption edge yielding bandgaps of 3.44(1) eV and 3.57(1) eV for A = Sr and Ca, respectively. The light scattering by ferroelectric domains in the pre-edge spectral range has been studied as a function of composition and pressure. After confirming with x-ray diffraction the occurrence of the previously observed ferroelectric to pa…

Spatial variations in Ba/Cashell fingerprints of Glycymeris pilosa along the eastern Adriatic Sea

2020

Abstract The long living Glycymeris pilosa bivalve is an interesting target species for the sclerochronological research in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, Ba/Cashell and Mg/Cashell variations were studied along the coast of the eastern Adriatic Sea. Specimens were collected alive by SCUBA and skin diving during several occasions in 2014, 2015 and 2016 from five sites including Pag, Pasman Channel, Cetina, Živogosce and Drace. Element-to-Cashell ratios were measured by LA-ICP-MS in line scan mode in three specimens of each site, ranging in age from 7 to 21. In addition, chemical analysis was conducted on three ontogenetically older specimens (68-97 years-old) from Drace. Mg/Cashell an…

Electromagnetic interactions of light hadrons in covariant chiral perturbation theory

2017

Las interacciones entre hadrones ligeros y campos de fotones son importantes para el estudio de la estructura de la materia y de la interacción fuerte. Sus propiedades fundamentales son descritas por la cromodinámica quántica (QCD). A energı́as elevadas, esta teorı́a ya ha sido bien comprobada con métodos perturbativos que tienen los quarks y gluones como grados de libertad. Sin embargo, a bajas energı́as, QCD es no-perturbativa y quedan muchos detalles por entender. Estas on precisamente las energı́as necesarias para describir interacciones entre hadrones a distancias superiores a su tamaño. Procesos que involucran interacciones con hadrones han sido extensamente estudiados a lo largo de l…

The Prevalence of NAFLD and Fibrosis in Bariatric Surgery Patients and the Reliability of Noninvasive Diagnostic Methods

2020

Background. Bariatric surgery patients have a higher prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) than the general population; however, its assessment and the accurate staging of fibrosis are often complicated because noninvasive tests are not very accurate in patients with morbid obesity, and liver biopsy cannot be performed as a routine exam. The aim of this study was to evaluate (A) the histological prevalence of NAFL, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and fibrosis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery; (B) the reliability of ultrasound (US) in diagnosing NAFL; and (C) the reliability of various fibrosis scoring systems for defining fibrosis. Methods. US and intraoperative liver b…

Barium study associated with water siphon test in gastroesophageal reflux disease and its complications.

2007

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of digital cineradiography associated with the water siphon test (WST) in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux and to compare the results with oesophageal motility study, pH monitoring and endoscopy associated with biopsy and histology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and sixty consecutive patients underwent digital cineradiography with WST, motility study, pH monitoring and endoscopy with biopsy. The presence of gastroesophageal reflux, oesophagitis, Barrett''s oesophagus and intestinal metaplasia was evaluated. RESULTS: WST vs. pH monitoring showed sensitivity of 71%, specificity of 31%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 53% …

Caracterización de barita cubana y su reducción carbotérmica en horno de microondas

2007

The Cuban Barite (BaSO4) is characterized by X ray diffraction, chemical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The principal components are identified and its characteristic morphology is shown. Its carbothermic reduction under microwave irradiation is carried out with the purpose of to improve the yield of this stage during the mineral transformation process in reagent of barium of diverse applications. La barita cubana (BaSO4) se ha caracterizado por difracción de rayos X, análisis químico y microscopía electrónica de barrido. Se han identificado sus componentes mayoritarios y así mismo se muestra su morfología característica. Se ha realizado su reducción carbotérmica en horno de mic…

Long-Range and Short-Range Structure of Proton-Conducting Y:BaZrO3

2011

Yttrium-doped barium zirconate (BZY) is the most promising candidate for proton-conducting ceramics and has been extensively studied in recent years. The detailed features of the crystal structure, both short-range and long-range, as well as the crystal chemistry driving the doping process, are largely unknown. We use very high resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) to resolve the crystal structure, which is very slightly tetragonally distorted in BZY, while the local environment around Zr4+ and Y3+ is probed with extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and the symmetry and vibrations are investigated by using Raman spectroscopy. It is found that barium zirconate shows some degree …
