GEOLOGIA DE LAS MARGENES DE LA PLACA DEL CARIBE: GENERALIDADES EN GUATEMALA, COSTA RICA, LA ESPAÑOLA Y RESULTADOS PRELIMINARES DEL ANALISIS DE UNA TR…
2011
The Caribbean Plate margins are constituted by deformed belts built up since the Cretaceous in acompressional and strike-slip stress field, which allowed overthrusting of the Caribbean crust onto the Pacific,North and South American Plates.The Caribbean borders include Jurassic-Cretaceous ophiolitic units (Great Antilles, Venezuela, Costa Rica,Guatemala, etc.), composed by mantle peridotites, gabbros, volcanic and sedimentary covers, which have beendeformed in at least two ductile penetrative phases and were often metamorphosed in the prehnite-pumpelleyite,green and blue schist, amphibolite, and in places eclogite facies. These units may present part of a subductioncomplex or are an accreti…
Structural analysis of a complex nappe sequence and late-orogenic basins from the Aegean Island of Samos, Greece
1999
The island of Samos in the Aegean Sea exposes high-pressure metamorphic rocks of the Cycladic blueschist unit which are sandwiched between the mildly blueschist-facies Kerketas nappe below and the overlying non-metamorphic Kallithea nappe. Structural and metamorphic analysis shows that deformation can generally be divided into four main stages: (1) Eocene and earliest Oligocene 0ESE‐WNW-oriented nappe stacking (D1 and D2) associated with blueschist- and transitional blueschist‐ greenschist-facies metamorphism (M1 and M2). D2 caused emplacement of the blueschist unit onto the Kerketas nappe indicating that thrusting occurred during decompression. (2) A subsequent history of Oligocene and Mio…
Conformational substates of ferricytochrome c revealed by combined optical absorption and electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy at cryogenic tem…
2010
We have investigated the heterogeneity of the Fe(III)–Met80 linkage of horse heart ferricytochrome c by probing the 695 nm charge transfer band with absorption and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy. In order to verify the connection between conformational substates of the Fe(III)–Met80 linkage and the 695 nm band spectral heterogeneity, we have performed experiments as a function of pH (neutral and acidic) and temperature (room and 20 K). At room temperature, the ECD spectrum is blue shifted with respect to the absorption one; the shift is more pronounced at acidic pH and is compatible with the presence of sub-bands. ECD measurements at 20 K highlighted the heterogeneous natu…
A chirp-z transform-based synchronizer for power system measurements
2005
In the last few years, increased interest in power and voltage quality has forced international working groups to standardize testing and measurement techniques. IEC 61000-4-30, which defines the characteristics of instrumentation for the measurement of power quality, refers to IEC 61000-4-7 for the evaluation of harmonics and interharmonics. This standard, revised in 2002, requires a synchronous sampling of voltage or current signal, in order to limit errors and to ensure reproducible results even in the presence of nonstationary signals. Therefore, an accurate estimation of the fundamental frequency is required, even in the presence of disturbances. In this paper, an algorithm to detect t…

Exciton interactions in self-organised bacteriochlorophyll a - aggregates
2002
Exciton interactions of self-organised bacteriochlorophyll a - aggregates in non-polar solution linked via water and dioxane have been studied. Absorption and CD spectra of the aggregates show large red shifts typical of J-aggregates. Femtosecond excitation of the Qy band of the aggregates is followed by wavelength dependent non-exponential picosecond relaxation and anisotropy decay takes place in subpicosecond time scale. To explain these observations exciton theory and semi-empirical MO/CI calculations, that constitute the basis of the CIEM-approach developed by Linnanto et al. (J. Phys. Chem. B, 1999, 103B, 8739) was used. Structural models of aggregates were created by using the molecul…
With God and Guitars: Popular Music, Socialism, and the Church in East Germany
2017
AbstractIn the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR), the Church entered into a long-term, complex and productive symbiosis with popular music. Beginning in the 1950s, reform-minded pastors opened their doors to jazz, and, later, almost the entire spectrum of popular music could be found in their churches: from pop hits, beat, rock, blues to singer/songwriters and punk. The interplay between the Church and popular music gave rise to a highly unique communicative space, a counterpart to the rigidly organized public realm. Here, political dissidents took refuge from a repressive system and were free to examine their society critically. This political force infused the alliance of the Chu…
Cathodoluminescence study of undoped GaN films: Experiment and calculation
2009
Abstract In this paper, we report the theoretical and experimental results of cathodoluminescence (CL) from GaN layers grown at 800 °C by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on silicon substrate. The CL spectra recorded at room temperature reveal the near band-edge emission at 3.35–3.42 eV and a broad yellow luminescence at 2.2 eV. The CL depth analysis at constant power excitation shows inhomogeneous CL distribution in depth of these emissions as the electron beam increases from 3 to 25 keV. There appears a blue shift of the CL band-edge peaks with increasing sample depth. This behavior is explained by a change of the fundamental band gap due to residual strain and the local temperat…
An induction motor speed measurement method based on current harmonic analysis with the Chirp-Z Transform
2005
This paper presents a new method to measure motor speed by means of frequency estimation of rotor slot spectral components in the supply current of squirrel single-cage induction motors. The novelty of the method consists in the harmonic analysis of the supply current by means of the chirp-Z transform (CZT). The advantages are improved accuracy due to better spectral resolution and resolvability. Moreover, a shorter observation window is required, thus reducing errors related to nonstationary current signals. The experimental results are presented to validate the proposed method and to make a comparison with a similar method based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
An induction motor speed measurement based on current harmonic analysis with Chirp-Z Transform
2002
The paper presents a new method to measure motor speed by means of frequency estimation of rotor slot harmonics present in the supply current of squirrel single cage induction motors. The novelty of the method is the use of Chirp-Z Transform as supply current harmonic analysis. The advantages are an improved spectral resolution and accuracy. Moreover a shorter sampling time window is required reducing errors related to not stationary current signal. Experimental results are presented to validate the proposed method and to perform a comparison with FFT based one.
