Experimental study of fragmentation products in the reactions112Sn+112Snand124Sn+124Snat 1AGeV
2011
Production cross sections and longitudinal velocity distributions of the projectilelike residues produced in the reactions ${}^{112}\text{Sn}+{}^{112}\text{Sn}$ and ${}^{124}\text{Sn}+{}^{124}\text{Sn}$, both at an incident beam energy of 1$A$ GeV, were measured with the high-resolution magnetic spectrometer, the Fragment Separator of GSI. For both reactions the characteristics of the velocity distributions and nuclide production cross sections were determined for residues with atomic number $Z\ensuremath{\ge}10$. A comparison of the results of the two reactions is presented.
Smallest KnownQValue of Any Nuclear Decay: The Rareβ−Decay ofIn115(9/2+)→Sn115(3/2+)
2009
The ground-state-to-ground-state Q_{beta;{-}} value of ;{115}In was determined to 497.68(17) keV using a high-precision Penning trap facility at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. From this, a Q_{beta;{-}} value of 0.35(17) keV was obtained for the rare beta;{-} decay to the first excited state of ;{115}Sn at 497.334(22) keV. The partial half-life was determined to 4.1(6) x 10;{20} yr using ultra low-background gamma-ray spectrometry in an underground laboratory. Theoretical modeling of this 2nd-forbidden unique beta;{-} transition was also undertaken and resulted in Q_{beta;{-}} = 57_{-12};{+19} eV using the measured half-life. The discrepancy between theory and experiment could be attr…
VALORIZZAZIONE PRODUTTIVA DEL GERMOPLASMA DELLE AREE INTERNE: PROVE DI COLTIVAZIONE DI ISATIS TINCTORIA L.
2009
Le linee più recenti della politica agricola comunitaria attribuiscono grande importanza all’espansione, o reintroduzione, di colture che, assenti dai sistemi colturali ordinari, siano in grado di fornire le più diverse tipologie di materie prime di interesse industriale. Tra queste, un ruolo considerevole spetta a tutte le specie utilizzabili per l'estrazione di principi coloranti. Isatis tinctoria L., conosciuta anche come Guado, viene adoperata in Europa fin da tempi remotissimi per l’estrazione dell’indaco, sostanza colorante blu contenuta in buona quantità nelle foglie. Nel corso del tempo, per effetto di svariate circostanze di ordine commerciale e politico, l’interesse verso questa C…
2004
Analysis of extracts from two woad species (Isatis tinctoria and Isatis indigotica) and Polygonum tinctorium revealed that only one indigo precursor (indican) was present in Polygonum, but two precursors were found in Isatis spp. This was done using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), coupled to an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). In Isatis spp., the indigo precursors indican and a fraction representing isatan B were identified. The proportion of indican and isatan B was different between the two Isatis spp. tested. For the first time, it was possible to quantify the precursors in woad plant species, and the results were found to be in good agreement with those made …
Chronoamperometry of prussian blue films on ITO electrodes: Ohmic drop and film thickness effect
1999
Abstract The chronoamperograms associated with the reduction of prussian blue films deposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes to the Everitt’s salt form, are influenced by the ohmic drop effect. These chronoamperometric curves have been simulated by means of a numerical finite difference model which is able to explain their shape and their dependence on the thickness of the film and on the uncompensated resistance. An analytical expression which describes the dependence of current against time at initial times considering the ohmic drop effect has also been proved when applied to these chronoamperometric curves at short times.
QRPA estimate for the Δ (1232) contribution to the Gamow-Teller decay of heavy nuclei
1991
Abstract The contribution of the Δ (1232) isobars to the nuclear beta decay strength function is estimated in the framework of the charge-changing form of the QRPA. This procedure is applied to neutron-deficient tin isotopes. The results imply that the quenching of the low-energy Gamow-Teller decay strength cannot attributed to the presence of delta admixtures in the nuclear wave function.
Progress in ISOL target–ion source systems
2008
The heart of every ISOL (isotope separation on-line) facility is its target and ion source system. Its efficiency, selectivity and rapidity is decisive for the production of intense and pure ion beams of short-lived isotopes. Recent progress in ISOL target and ion source technology is discussed at the examples of radioactive ion beams of exotic zinc and tin isotopes that were purified by isothermal chromatography and molecular sideband separation respectively. An outlook is given to which other elements these purification methods are applicable.
Premio di Laurea “Ametek Scientific Instruments”: Electrochemical Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Formic Acid. Study of the Effect of the Operating P…
2017
Electrochemical conversion of CO2 is considered one of the more appealing approaches to introduce renewable energy in the chemical and energy chain and to mitigate the greenhouse gases effect. In this work, the reduction of carbon dioxide was performed in undivided electrochemical cell to produce formic acid, which is one of the highest value-added chemicals and economically feasible for large-scale applications (1). It is well known that the main hurdle of the reduction of CO2 from water solution is the low CO2 solubility in water. In order to overcome this obstacle, a specific investigation on the effect of the CO2 pressure and other operating parameters at tin flat cathodes was carried o…
Delayed maturation in plumage colour: Evidence for the female-mimicry hypothesis in the kestrel
1993
In many sexually dichromatic species, young males have female-like plumage during their first potential breeding year. The female-mimicry hypothesis (FMH) supposes that by possessing female-like plumage young males deceive older conspicuous males into believing that they are females, thus reducing competition from adult males. The status-signalling hypothesis (SSH) supposes that adult males can distinguish sex, but postulates that young males reduce competition from adult males by reliably signaling low status with their dull plumage. We tested these hypotheses in the European kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). Female-like young males settled to breed closer to adult males than did other adult ma…
