Luminescence properties of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet obtained by the co-precipitation method combined with the mechanical process

2005

Nanopowders of yttrium aluminium garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG) doped with neodymium ions were obtained by the co-precipitation method from the reaction of aluminium and yttrium nitrate and neodymium oxide with ammonia. After washing and drying the hydroxide precursors were calcined at 500, 700, 800 and 900 °C for 1 hour and at 1000 °C for 3 hours. This product was treated by ball milling in a zirconia vial for 0.5, 1.5 and 10 h in order to achieve smaller nanoparticles. The structure, microstructure, morphology and optical properties were investigated by means of diffractometric, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The course of the amorphous-to-crystalline transformation was complete after c…

Generalized Noise Study of Solid-State Nanopores at Low Frequencies.

2017

Nanopore technology has been extensively investigated for analysis of biomolecules, and a success story in this field concerns DNA sequencing using a nanopore chip featuring an array of hundreds of biological nanopores (BioNs). Solid-state nanopores (SSNs) have been explored to attain longer lifetime and higher integration density than what BioNs can offer, but SSNs are generally considered to generate higher noise whose origin remains to be confirmed. Here, we systematically study low-frequency (including thermal and flicker) noise characteristics of SSNs measuring 7 to 200 nm in diameter drilled through a 20-nm-thick SiNx membrane by focused ion milling. Both bulk and surface ionic curren…

Contra el paternalismo juridico

2020

En extrema síntesis, el paternalismo jurídico sostiene que el Estado tiene derecho a limitar la libertad del individuo, a través de la coacción –por ejemplo, sanciones penales–, para tutelar (aquello que se pretende que constituye) el bien del individuo mismo, con el fin de impedir que se cause un daño, incluso si no causa un daño a terceros. De acuerdo con el antipaternalismo jurídico moderado, en extrema síntesis, el Estado no tiene derecho a usar la coacción para limitar las elecciones, racionales y libres de constricciones, de un individuo adulto, incluso allí donde estas elecciones le causen (aquello que se pretende que constituye) un daño, por ejemplo, físico o psicofísico, al individ…

Découverte d'un moulin hydraulique antique à Longvic (Côte-d'Or)

2010

The discovery of a Roman building on the banks of a ditch linked to the river Ouche and a millstone made of volcanic rock similar to those found at other Roman mill sites, indicate the existence of a Roman water mill at Longvic.

The Effect of Mechanocatalytic Pretreatment on the Structure and Depolymerization of Willow

2020

In this study, the effect of a mechanocatalytic pretreatment on the structure of willow and sugar release from pretreated willow was explored. In the mechanocatalytic approach, the pretreatment consists of solvent-free impregnation with sulfuric acid and a mechanical treatment with ball milling. Willow sawdust and pretreated samples were analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The products in the sugar solution were determined as the total reducing sugars with the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method and monosaccharides with capillary electrophoresis. According to the results, milling increased the sugar production, depending on the sulfuric acid load. T…

Ecologia e selvicoltura dei boschi artificiali di conifere dei Monti Sicani (Sicilia)

2009

I rimboschimenti realizzati in Sicilia dopo il 1950 hanno contribuito notevolmente all’aumento della superficie forestale nell’Isola. In questo lavoro sono descritte e analizzate le caratteristiche ecologiche e selvicolturali dei rimboschimenti localizzati all’interno dei principali siti della Rete Natura 2000 dei Monti Sicani, con l’obiettivo di formulare idonee linee guida di gestione forestale sostenibile finalizzata ad aumentare la loro stabilità ecologico-strutturale e a favorire così i processi di rinaturalizzazione, diffusi spontaneamente in molte aree. L’indagine conoscitiva è stata condotta in ambiente GIS attraverso l’overlay tra la distribuzione dei rimboschimenti, classificati a…

The use of industrial waste materials for the simultaneous removal of ammonium nitrogen and phosphate from the anaerobic digestion reject water

2020

The European Union’s circular economy strategy aims to increase the recycling and re-use of products and waste materials. According to the strategy, the use of industry waste materials and side flows is required to be more effective. In this research, a chemical precipitation method to simultaneously remove ammonium and phosphate from the reject water of anaerobic digestion plant using calcined paper mill sludge and fly ash as a precipitant, was tested. Paper mill sludge is a waste material formed in the paper-making process, and fly ash is another waste material formed in the power plant. Objective of this research was to test whether these industrial waste streams could be used as low cos…

Last millennium northern hemisphere summer temperatures from tree rings: Part I: The long term context

2016

Текст статьи не публикуется в открытом доступе в соответствии с политикой журнала. Large-scale millennial length Northern Hemisphere (NH) temperature reconstructions have been progressively improved over the last 20 years as new datasets have been developed. This paper, and its companion (Part II, Anchukaitis et al. in prep), details the latest tree-ring (TR) based NH land air temperature reconstruction from a temporal and spatial perspective. This work is the first product of a consortium called N-TREND (Northern Hemisphere Tree-Ring Network Development) which brings together dendroclimatologists to identify a collective strategy for improving large-scale summer temperature reconstructions…

Quantum fluctuations in superconducting nanostructures

2014

Modern nanofabrication technology enableTfabrication of very narrow quasi-1-dimensional superconducting nanowires demonstrating finite resistivity within the range of experimentally obtainable temperatures. The observations were reported in ∼10 nm nanowires of certain superconducting materials. The effect has been associated with quantum phase slip process - the particular manifestation of quantum fluctuations of the order p arameter. In titanium, the phenomenon can be observed already at dimensions ∼35 nm where the fabrication is well reproducible and the dimensions of samples can be characterized with high accuracy. We have performed systematic study of the size dependence of transport pr…
