Electronic properties and mobile defects distribution in amorphous semiconducting passive films

2003

A study of the electronic properties of thin (drop 25 nm) a-WO3 and a-Nb2O5 is presented. Based on theory of amorphous semiconductor Schottky barrier the fitting of admittance curves in a large range of electrode potential (around 9 V) and a.c. frequency (100 Hz - 10 kHz) is performed. A density of electronic state distribution (DOS) is derived, which mimics the mobile defects distribution suggested by the classical high field model of oxides growth.

Influence of Ce codoping and H2 pre-loading on Er/Yb-doped fiber: Radiation response characterized by Confocal Micro-Luminescence

2011

International audience; Confocal microscopy luminescence measurements were applied to study the X-ray radiation response of Er/Yb-doped optical fibers in connection with H2 pre-loading and with the addition of another lanthanide element (Cerium) in the core composition. Laser excitations at 488 nm and 325 nm allow deriving the emission and absorption pattern of Er3+, the latter derived from the dips appearing in a wide luminescence band related to defects in silica. We found that the luminescence spectrum of the X-irradiated Er/Yb-doped core fiber evidences an increase in the emission intensity around 520 and 660 nm; in contrast, no changes are induced by radiation neither after H2 pre-load…

Bladder endometriosis: laparoscopic treatment and follow-up

2008

Objectives: This study aims to show the treatment outcome in women affected by isolated bladder endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our units. Only women with deep nodules located in the bladder were selected, thus excluding women with deep lesions located in other sites. Study design: Between March 2005 and 2007, women with deep vesical endometriosis, referring to the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of University Hospitals "G. Martino" of Messina, "Paolo Giaccone" of Palermo and "San Paolo" of Milano, were respectively recruited. A preoperative assessment of the pathology was performed. Women who were concomitantly diagnosed deep nodules of the rectovaginal septum…

Atomic scale DFT simulations of point defects in uranium nitride

2007

Atomic scale density functional calculations are used to predict the behaviour of defects in uranium mononitride (UN). Two different density functional codes (VASP and CASTEP) were employed with supercells containing from 8 to 250 atoms (providing a significant range of defect concentrations). Schottky and nitrogen Frenkel point defect formation energies, local lattice relaxations and overall lattice parameter change, as well as the defect induced electronic density redistribution, are discussed.

Radiācijas defektu pētījumi ar EPR metodi LiBaF3 kristālā

2004

Izpētīts ar rentgenu istabas temperatūrā apstarotā L i B a F 3 kristālā radīta defekta EPR spektrs. EPR spektrs sastāv no apmēram 35 ekvidistantām līnijām. Defekts ir nestabils Jienas gaismā, bet tumsā sabrūk dažu stundu laikā. Šīs līnijas magnētiskā lauka orientācijā mralēli [111] kristāla asij atrodas vienādos attālumos (ar soli 0,9 mT) ar intensitāšu sadalījumu tuvu binomiālajam. EPR spektru var aprakstīt kā nesapārota spina S = 1/2 hiper- >īkstruktūras (liss) mijiedarbību ar divām ekvivalentu kaimiņu kodolu spinu grupām: 2 Li kodoliem pirmajā grupā un 8 F kodoliem otrajā grupā. Šāds modelis atbilst F-tipa centram elektrons atrodas fluora vakancē) LiBaF3 kristālā. Līniju intensitāšu stip…

SUSTANTIVOS DEVERBALES ALTERNANTES: PROPUESTA PARA UNA CLASIFICACIÓN DIFERENCIAL

2008

[EN] Since the point of view of Cognitive Linguistics, any linguistic form has its own menaing, therfore, any change in the form implies a change in its meaning. Given that, the main goal of this contribution is to systematize the meaning differenes among certain type of deverbal nouns. They share the same matrix verb, but they differ in their form, either because they use a different suffix or because they follow different derivational process.

Association of ADHD with genetic variants in the 5'-region of the dopamine transporter gene: evidence for allelic heterogeneity.

2008

Contains fulltext : 69953.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Multiple studies have reported an association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the 10-repeat allele of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1). Yet, recent meta-analyses of available data find little or no evidence for this association; although there is strong evidence for heterogeneity between datasets. This pattern of findings could arise for several reasons including the presence of relatively rare risk alleles on common haplotype backgrounds or the functional interaction of two or more loci within the g…

Real-time Control of Metallurgic Processes

1996

The careful control of the liquid metal solidification and the solid shell growth is of central importance in all metallurgic processes. These have a considerable influence on the formation of cracks and other defects which can be formed in the cast material. To ensure defect free products, the liquid metal is to be cooled down according to a pattern which depends i.e. on metal grade, product dimension, cooling speed and machine design. On the other hand, the control of the liquid/solid interface is a key element in optimising the liquid solidification with respect to good productivity. So, the heat transfer plays a very important role in metallurgic casting processes, especially when casti…

Defensive and Defective Stance in Translation and Translation Criticism in Latvia between the Wars (1918–1940)

2016

Abstract Latvia's independence period saw translations on a massive scale. The range of source languages was growing, with English overtaking German (German was also the main intermediary language). The literature translated was also extremely varied, as was quality. The choice of works to be translated was in the hands of translators and publishers, who thought of marketing interests. The agents of translation (translators and publishers) pursued mainly defective stance in translation, while criticism staunchly supported defensive stance. Translations always numerically surpassed native production in the domain of novels. The variety of translation scene came to an abrupt end with the sovi…
