The structure of coronal plasma in active stellar coronae from density measurements
2005
We have analyzed high-resolution X-ray spectra of a sample of 22 active stars observed with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS) on Chandra in order to investigate their coronal plasma density, using the lines of the He-like ions O VII, Mg XI, and Si XIII. Si XII lines in all stars of the sample axe compatible with the low-density limit (i.e. n(e) = 10(30) erg/s); O VII lines yield much lower densities of a few 10(10) cm(-3). Our results indicate that the "hot" and "cool" plasma resides in physically different structures. Our findings imply remarkably compact coronal structures, especially for the hotter (similar to 7 MK) plasma emitting the Mg xi lines characterized by…

Thiol-Stabilized Atomically Precise, Superatomic Silver Nanoparticles for Catalyzing Cycloisomerization of Alkynyl Amines
2018
Abstract Both the electronic and surface structures of metal nanomaterials play critical roles in determining their chemical properties. However, the non-molecular nature of conventional nanoparticles makes it extremely challenging to understand the molecular mechanism behind many of their unique electronic and surface properties. In this work, we report the synthesis, molecular and electronic structures of an atomically precise nanoparticle, [Ag206L72]q (L = thiolate, halide; q = charge). With a four-shell Ag7@Ag32@Ag77@Ag90 Ino-decahedral structure having a nearly perfect D5h symmetry, the metal core of the nanoparticle is co-stabilized by 68 thiolate and 4 halide ligands. Both electroche…
Synchronizing Two Superconducting Qubits through a Dissipating Resonator
2021
A system consisting of two qubits and a resonator is considered in the presence of different sources of noise, bringing to light the possibility of making the two qubits evolve in a synchronized way. A direct qubit–qubit interaction turns out to be a crucial ingredient, as well as the dissipation processes involving the resonator. The detrimental role of the local dephasing of the qubits is also taken into account.
Image formation with plasmonic nanostructures
2015
En 1873, Ernst Abbe concluyó que debido a la difracción de la luz el límite de resolución de un sistema óptico es aproximadamente la mitad de la longitud de onda de trabajo. Este límite, llamado el límite de difracción produce porque las ondas evanescentes no contribuyen a la formación de la imagen. En cualquier sistema óptico formado por materiales presentes en la naturaleza los detalles espaciales del objeto que sean más pequeños que el límite de resolución son transportados por ondas evanescentes. Normalmente estas ondas se pierden debido a la fuerte atenuación que experimentan viajando del objeto a la imagen. // En 1968, Veselago mostró que un material con permitividad y permeabilidad n…
Global analysis of the pMSSM in light of the Fermi GeV excess: prospects for the LHC Run-II and astroparticle experiments
2016
We present a new global fit of the 19-dimensional phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM-19) that comply with all the latest experimental results from dark matter indirect, direct and accelerator dark matter searches. We show that the model provides a satisfactory explanation of the excess of gamma-rays from the Galactic centre observed by the Fermi~Large Area Telescope, assuming that it is produced by the annihilation of neutralinos in the Milky Way halo. We identify two regions that pass all the constraints: the first corresponds to neutralinos with a mass ~80-100 GeV annihilating into WW with a branching ratio of 95% ; the second to heavier neutralinos, with mass ~…
Engineered surface waves in hyperbolic metamaterials
2013
We analyzed surface-wave propagation that takes place at the boundary between a semi-infinite dielectric and a multilayered metamaterial, the latter with indefinite permittivity and cut normally to the layers. Known hyperbolization of the dispersion curve is discussed within distinct spectral regimes, including the role of the surrounding material. Hybridization of surface waves enable tighter confinement near the interface in comparison with pure-TM surface-plasmon polaritons. We demonstrate that the effective-medium approach deviates severely in practical implementations. By using the finite-element method, we predict the existence of long-range oblique surface waves. This research was fu…
Intracranial Venous Alteration in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Protocol for the Prospective and Observational SAH Multicenter St…
2022
BackgroundArterial vasospasm has been ascribed as the responsible etiology of delayed cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but other neurovascular structures may be involved. We present the protocol for a multicenter, prospective, observational study focused on analyzing morphological changes in cerebral veins of patients with aSAH.Methods and AnalysisIn a retrospective arm, we will collect head arterial and venous CT angiograms (CTA) of 50 patients with aSAH and 50 matching healthy controls at days 0–2 and 7–10, comparing morphological venous changes. A multicenter prospective observational study will follow. Patients aged ≥18 years of any gender …
Plasman glutamiinipitoisuus ja sykevaihtelu lyhyellä kuormittavalla harjoittelujaksolla kestävyysurheilijoilla
2003
Savonen, Kai, Plasman glutamiinipitoisuus ja sykevaihtelu lyhyellä kuormittavalla harjoittelujaksolla kestävyysurheilijoilla. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Liikuntabiologian laitos. Pro gradu -tutkielma. Liikuntafysiologia. Kevät 2003. Tässä tutkimuksessa mitattiin kuormittavan harjoittelujakson aiheuttamia muutoksia immuunijärjestelmälle tärkeässä plasman glutamiinipitoisuudessa ja autonomisen hermoston välittämässä sydämen sykevaihtelussa. Tarkoituksena oli saada selville vaikuttaako kuormittava, lajille tyypillinen lyhyt harjoittelujakso (8-12 vuorokautta) eri tavalla näiden muuttujien vasteisiin ylirasittuneilla ja ei-ylirasittuneilla urheilijoilla. Toiseksi haluttiin saada selville, oliko glut…
