Sinergias entre las observaciones desde suelo y satélite de las propiedades de las nubes y sus efectos

2018

Según la World Meteorological Organization, una nube es un hidrometeoro formado por partículas diminutas de agua líquida, hielo o ambas, suspendidas en la atmósfera y que, generalmente no tocan el suelo. Las nubes juegan un papel fundamental en el ciclo hidrológico, ya que son el medio para que el agua que se ha evaporado vuelva a la superficie a través de la precipitación, y producen importantes efectos en los sistemas energéticos basados en la radiación solar. Las nubes afectan al balance radiativo terrestre a través de la absorción y dispersión de la radiación electromagnética, aunque sus efectos son diferentes según el rango espectral considerado (ultravioleta, solar o térmico).

Shape staggering of midshell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with density-functional-theory and Monte Carlo shell-model c…

2019

Neutron-deficient Hg177-185 isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility in an experiment combining different detection methods tailored to the studied isotopes. These include either α-decay tagging or multireflection time-of-flight gating for isotope identification. The endpoint of the odd-even nuclear shape staggering in mercury was observed directly by measuring for the first time the isotope shifts and hyperfine structures of Hg177-180. Changes in the mean-square charge radii for all mentioned isotopes, magnetic dipole, and electric quadrupole moments of the odd-A isotopes and arguments in favor of I=7/2 s…

Nuclear moments and charge radii of neutron-deficient francium isotopes and isomers

2015

Collinear laser fluorescence spectroscopy has been performed on the ground and isomeric states of 204,206Fr in order to determine their spins, nuclear moments, and changes in mean-squared charge radii. A new experimental technique has been developed as part of this work which much enhances the data collection rate while maintaining the high resolution. This has permitted the extension of this study to the two isomeric states in each nucleus. The investigation of nuclear g factors and mean-squared charge radii indicates that the neutron-deficient Fr isotopes lie in a transitional region from spherical towards more collective structures. peerReviewed

Association between spinal disorders and different domains of physical activity among young adult men

2022

BackgroundThere is limited evidence of how physical activity (PA) associates with low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP). Particularly, the association between occupational or commuting PA and LBP/NP is unclear. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between spinal disorders and different physical activity domains in young and healthy adult men.MethodsSelf-reported leisure time, occupational and commuting PA, as well as LBP and NP, were studied using questionnaires among young Finnish males (n = 1,630). Logistic regression analysis was used to study the associations of PA domains, physical fitness, and spinal disorders. Regression models were adjuste…

The effects of microwave radiation generated by mobile phones on the tear film

2021

Abstract Electromagnetic radiation (ER) emitted by mobile phones and other modern devices has potentially harmful effects on ocular tissue. Their effects on the eye surface and tear film are little known so far. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effects of ER emitted by the phone mobile on the tear film. For this study, we selected a total of 50 subjects, young, healthy, without chronic treatment, who are not contact lens wearers and who have no history of ophthalmic surgery. Schirmer I test, tear pH and tear ferning test (TFT) were performed on all subjects before (“-pre”) being exposed to ER emitted by the mobile phone and after (“-post”) exposure for 5 minutes, the pH and TFT …

Clinical justification of dental radiology in adult patients: A review of the literature

2007

Although the radiological doses used by dentists are low individually, patients are often exposured to many repeat dental radiographic examinations. The ‘routine’ use of dental radiography, such as screening of all patients using dental panoramic radiography (DPRs) or a random decision to take a dental radiograph, will inevitable lead to unnecessary patient exposure. The use of Radiographic Referral Criteria has now become a legal requirement for all practitioners following the adoption of European Legislation. All exposures to x-rays should be clinically justified and each exposure should be expected to give the patient a positive net benefit. Recently the European Commission has published…

The Role of Orbital Symmetries in Enforcing Ferromagnetic Ground State in Mixed Radical Dimers

2018

One of the first steps in designing ferromagnetic (FM) molecular materials of p-block radicals is the suppression of covalent radical–radical interactions that stabilize a diamagnetic ground state. In this contribution, we demonstrate that FM coupling between p-block radicals can be achieved by constructing mixed dimers from different radicals with differing symmetries of their singly occupied molecular orbitals. The applicability of this approach is demonstrated by studying magnetic interactions in organic radical dimers built from different derivatives of the well-known phenalenyl radical. The calculated enthalpies of dimerization for different homo- and heterodimers show that the formati…

Etude spectroscopique de fibres durcies pour un environnement radiatif sévère

2013

Les nouveaux environnements radiatifs, comme LMJ, ITER, ILE/ELI, HiPER, réacteurs nucléaires des générations III+ et IV, nécessitent le développement de nouveaux composants pour le transport et le traitement des signaux. A cause de l’impossibilité d’utiliser les composants électroniques, la recherche est orientée vers les composants à fibres optiques comme vecteur d’information et aussi comme élément de diagnostic. Ils présentent de nombreux avantages, comme leur relative immunité électromagnétique, faible pois, large bande passante, mais les rayonnements gamma et les neutrons dégradent leur transmission. La dégradation dépend principalement de la composition de la fibre. Ainsi, il a été mo…
