Atmospheric brightening counteracts warming‐induced delays in autumn phenology of temperate trees in Europe
2021
Aim: Ongoing climate warming has been widely reported to delay autumn phenology, which in turn impacts carbon, water, energy and nutrient balances at regional and global scales. However, the underlying mechanisms of autumn phenology responses to climate change have not been fully elucidated. The aims of this study were to determine whether brightening that was defined as the increase of surface solar radiation and warming during recent decades affect autumn phenology in opposite directions and explore the underlying mechanisms. Location: Central Europe. Time period: 1950–2016. Major taxa studied: Four dominant European tree species in central Europe: Aesculus hippocastanum, Betula pendula, …
ELECTROCHEMICAL H2O2 SENSORS BASED ON Pd and Cu NANOSTRUCUTERS
2018
In the last decades, with the fast improvement of electronics, the field of sensors is highly expanding. The basic idea of sensors is to detect something and then trigger a corresponding action. This simple, but very important, concept can be used in different fields: from chemical industries to farms, from the environmental monitoring [1] to a point of care analysis [2]. Currently, talking about sensing of chemical species, different techniques are used, such as Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS), IR spectroscopy, redox titration and so on. Despite they are highly efficient in …
Figures du sacré
2013
Dufour-Boutaud (dir.), n°23, Questions de Communication : dossier Figures du sacré; International audience; Figures du sacré « Le sacré est l'archaïque » écrivait Paul Ricoeur (1974 : 71), faisant le constat qu'il relève d'un monde aujourd'hui complètement révolu. Démarche bien téméraire, donc, celle d'engager Questions de communication dans un débat refermé sur le passé, voire dépassé. La discussion serait close et le sujet entendu. Tournons la page. Pourtant le sacré reste d'une étonnante acuité. Il y a quelques années, il trouvait encore à s'exposer dans ce temple de la création moderne et de l'avant-garde qu'est le centre Pompidou à Paris 1 : 1 Une exposition s'est tenue en août 2008 au…
Diritto del lavoro e Terzo settore. Occupazione e welfare partenariale dopo il d.lgs. n. 117/2017
2020
La riforma del Terzo settore –di cui il d.lgs. 3 luglio 2017, n. 117 costituisce il baricentro – ha segnato un netto punto di discontinuità rispetto alla tradizionale considerazione delle iniziative solidaristiche della società civile come fenomeno residuale rispetto all’intervento dello Stato e del mercato. La codificazione di un nuovo diritto degli Enti del Terzo settore, finalmente dotato di linee di disciplina autonome e uniformi, ha infatti fornito una precisa identità giuridica ad una realtàche per molti anni ha disposto di una matrice definitoria soltanto sul piano socio-culturale. Lo studio esamina le innovazioni legislative nella prospettiva lavoristica, con l’obiettivo di verifica…
Poczucie jakości życia i samoocena pacjentów w trakcie terapii uzależnienia od alkoholu
2018
During the addiction therapy patients describes a sense of emptiness, low level of life satisfaction and diffi culties in enjoying their lives. Those problems often caused them to return to psychoactive substance use. The research presented in the article is aimed at checking the dynamics of the above constructs during addiction therapy, which may help to better understand the treatment process. A longitudinal study of alcohol dependent patients in the process of addiction therapy was conducted. The research questionnaires measured selected aspects of psychological well-being as general construct and specifi c subscales. The fi rst measurement was made at the beginning ofa patient’s addicti…
Applications of tunnel junctions in low-dimensional nanostructures
2009
This thesis concentrates on studies of AlOx based tunnel junctions and their feasibility for cooling, thermometry and strain sensing in suspended nanostructures. The main result of the thesis is cooling of one dimensional phonon modes of a suspended nanowire with normal metal insulator superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions. Simultaneous cooling of both electrons and phonons was achieved, and the lowest phonon temperature reached in the system was 42 mK with an initial temperature of 100 mK. In addition, suspended devices show cooling still at a bath temperature of 600 mK. The observed thermal transport characteristics show, that the heat flow is limited by the scattering of phonons at the b…
An Autonomous System to Take Angular Thermal-Infrared Measurements for Validating Satellite Products
2015
An autonomous system for field land surface temperature (LST) measurements taken at different observation angles was developed to be deployed easily at any conventional meteorological tower station. The system permits ground-truth data to be acquired on a continuous basis, and angularly scans land and sky hemispheres with a single thermal-infrared (TIR) radiometer. This paper describes the autonomous angular system and the methodology to assess ground-truth LST and relative-to-nadir emissivity data from system measurements. Ground-truth LSTs were used to validate satellite-retrieved LST products at two experimental sites (rice crop and shrubland areas). The relative-to-nadir emissivity valu…
Thiazole Analogues of the Marine Alkaloid Nortopsentin as Inhibitors of Bacterial Biofilm Formation
2020
Anti-virulence strategy is currently considered a promising approach to overcome the global threat of the antibiotic resistance. Among different bacterial virulence factors, the biofilm formation is recognized as one of the most relevant. Considering the high and growing percentage of multi-drug resistant infections that are biofilm-mediated, new therapeutic agents capable of counteracting the formation of biofilms are urgently required. In this scenario, a new series of 18 thiazole derivatives was efficiently synthesized and evaluated for its ability to inhibit biofilm formation against the Gram-positive bacterial reference strains Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and S. aureus ATCC 6538 a…
Sense experience and differentiation : Husserl on bodily awareness
2023
This article outlines the basic ingredients of Husserl’s theory of bodily awareness. It first analyses the concepts of hyletic and kinesthetic sensibility, and illustrates the interwovenness and equiprimordiality of Me and not-Me in Husserl’s account. Second, it shows how the concept of the lived body emerges from this complex sensible foundation. Thirdly, it argues that, as the area of intersection between the Me and the not-Me, bodily awareness is the initial locus of differentiation between Me and not-Me: an area where the experiential distinction between the Me and the not-Me is constantly negotiated. peerReviewed
TimeSens - un logiciel Web pour l'acquisition et le traitement des données sensorielles
2010
TimeSens est un nouveau logiciel dédié à l'acquisition et au traitement des données d'analyse sensorielle. TimeSens bénéficie de l'expérience et de l'expertise de ChemoSens, la plate-forme d'analyse sensorielle du CSGA. TimeSenspropose la plupart des protocoles standards de l'analyse sensorielle (profil, tests hédoniques, DTS), ainsi que des protocoles originaux (MATI, PSP). Les résultats collectés peuvent être analysés à l'aide de méthodes statistiques traditionnelles ou innovantes.
