Surface magnetism studied by photoelectron spectromicroscopy with high spatial and time resolution
2004
Abstract Photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) is widely used for the study of magnetic surfaces and thin films. Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic microstructures are investigated exploiting magnetic circular and linear dichroism in the soft X-ray range using tuneable synchrotron radiation. Local dichroism spectroscopy gives access to magnetic moments of the elements in compounds or multilayer materials. Beyond these achievements, the method bears a high future potential with respect to an increased lateral resolution via aberration correction of the electron optics and a high time resolution in the 100 ps range for the study of dynamic processes. In addition, photoelectron spin polari…
Analysis methods of safe Coulomb-excitation experiments with radioactive ion beams using the gosia code
2016
With the recent advances in radioactive ion beam technology, Coulomb excitation at safe energies becomes an important experimental tool in nuclear-structure physics. The usefulness of the technique to extract key information on the electromagnetic properties of nuclei has been demonstrated since the 1960's with stable beam and target combinations. New challenges present themselves when studying exotic nuclei with this technique, including dealing with low statistics or number of data points, absolute and relative normalisation of the measured cross sections and a lack of complimentary experimental data, such as excited-state lifetimes and branching ratios. This paper addresses some of these…
In vivo delivery of human alpha 1-antitrypsin gene to mouse hepatocytes by liposomes.
1993
The pTG7101 plasmid containing the full length human alpha 1-Antitrypsin was encapsulated in large (142 +/- 15 nm of diameter) and small (54 +/- 11 nm of diameter) liposomes and administered i.v. to mice (80 ng/mouse). Control animals were treated with empty (small and large) liposomes plus free DNA and with the liposome solvent buffer. The immunohistochemical results on liver cryosections and cytophotometric analysis of hepatocyte chromophore absorbance, after peroxidase reaction, indicated that significant presence of immunoreactive human alpha 1-antitrypsin was present 7 days after mice treatment with encapsulated DNA in small liposomes but not when large liposomes were used. This effect…
The positive effect of music on source memory
2015
Several studies have investigated how to improve episodic memory performance by manipulating the factors that are crucial for successful encoding. There is an ongoing debate about whether a complex stimulus such as music can improve memory, and in particular memory for words, rather than interfere with correct encoding of information. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate whether verbal episodic memory can be improved by background context of instrumental music. Twenty young adults were asked to memorize different lists of words presented against a background of music, environmental sounds or silence. Their episodic memory performance was then tested in terms of item and source …
Subjective Experience of Episodic Memory and Metacognition: A Neurodevelopmental Approach
2013
Episodic retrieval is characterized by the subjective experience of remembering. This experience enables the co-ordination of memory retrieval processes and can be acted on metacognitively. In successful retrieval, the feeling of remembering may be accompanied by recall of important contextual information. On the other hand, when people fail (or struggle) to retrieve information, other feelings, thoughts and information may come to mind. In this review, we examine the subjective and metacognitive basis of episodic memory function from a neurodevelopmental perspective, looking at recollection paradigms (such as source memory, and the report of recollective experience) and metacognitive parad…
O modelo da economia do bem comum: abordagem a partir da abordagem organizacional e análise bibliométrica
2019
Resumen El trabajo tuvo por objeto realizar una aproximación al modelo de la economía del bien común desde la organización de empresas, así como desde un análisis bibliométrico. Se realizó una comparación entre el enfoque empresarial de la economía del bien común y dife- rentes teorías organizativas: recursos y capacidades, stakeholders y creación de valor compartido. Mediante el análisis bibliométrico, se identificaron los trabajos publicados sobre la economía del bien común desde su surgimiento en 2010 hasta 2018, mediante búsqueda realizada en Web of Science y Dialnet. Se demuestra que su enfoque empresarial está relacionado con diferentes teorías de la organiza- ción de empresas y que a…
Eh and pH gradients in Camembert cheese during ripening: Measurements using microelectrodes and correlations with texture
2007
International audience; This study investigated the use of microelectrodes to continuously and simultaneously monitor pH and redox potential (Eh) gradients in Camembert cheeses from the rind to the core, as a function of ripening time (15 and 35 days). Cheeses were shown to be heterogeneous throughout their mass. An Eh gradient existed from the rind to the core. The surface was oxidizing (+330 to +360 mV) and the core was reducing and became more so in the course of ripening (−300 to −360 mV). A relationship between firmness and Eh was shown. pH gradients were in line with those previously described in the literature and related to ammonium and lactate gradients. Gradients evolved from the …
B subunits of cholera toxin and thermolabile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli have similar adjuvant effect as whole molecules on rotavirus 2/6-VLP spe…
2015
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adjuvant effect of the B subunits of cholera toxin (CT) and the thermolabile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (LT) by the intrarectal route of immunization and compare them to the whole molecules CT and LT-R192G, a non toxic mutant of LT, using 2/6-VLP as an antigen, in mice. All molecules induced similar antigen specific antibody titers in serum and feces, whereas different T cell profiles were observed. CTB and LTB, conversely to CT and LT-R192G, did not induce detectable production of IL-2 by antigen specific T cells. Moreover, CTB, conversely to LT-R192G, CT and LTB, did not induce antigen specific CD4+CD25+Foxp3- and Foxp3+ T cells, thus sho…

Fayans functional for deformed nuclei. Uranium region
2016
Fayans energy density functional (EDF) FaNDF^0 has been applied to the nuclei around uranium region. Ground state characteristics of the Th, U and Pu isotopic chains, up to the two-neutron drip line, are found and compared with predictions from several Skyrme EDFs. The two-neutron drip line is found for FaNDF^0, SLy4 and SkM^* EDFs for a set of elements with even proton number, from Pb up to Fm.
