Modelos numéricos para la simulación y el análisis de señales atmosféricas
2015
Los rayos son la principal fuente de radiación de origen natural en la atmósfera terrestre, dado que cada segundo, del orden de un centenar de ellos descargan sobre la superficie de la Tierra, siendo el fenómeno más frecuente en unas regiones que en otras. Dichas descargas emiten la mayor parte de dicha radiación en las bandas ELF y VLF, bandas en la cuales las señales presentan una baja atenuación. La radiación emitida da lugar, en la banda ELF a las resonancias de Schumann y en la banda VLF a campos resonantes en la guía formada por la ionosfera y la superficie de la Tierra. Estas señales nos permiten inferir, por una parte, las propiedades de la ionosfera, y por otra la ubicación donde s…
Generación y Validación de algoritmos para la obtención de la temperatura de la superficie terrestre utilizando técnicas de Teledetección en el infra…
2014
La temperatura de superficie terrestre, LST (por sus siglas en inglés), es uno de los principales parámetros en el estudio de balance energético y de masa entre la atmosfera y el suelo, en particular, en la estimación de la evapotranspiración y el estrés hídrico que pueda sufrir la vegetación (Hall et al, 1992; Sellers, et al., 1995; Anderson, et al., 1997; Sánchez, et al. 2008). Además, la LST es necesaria como dato inicial en modelos de predicción meteorológica (Barton, et al. 1989; Gouturbe, et al. 1993), evaluación de daños provocados por las heladas (Caselles y Sobrino 1989), y detección de incendios forestales (Calle, et al. 2005), entre otros muchos. La LST puede considerarse también…
Coulomb excitation of 222Rn
2022
International audience; The nature of quadrupole and octupole collectivity in $^{222}$Rn was investigated by determining the electric-quadrupole (E2) and octupole (E3) matrix elements using subbarrier, multistep Coulomb excitation. The radioactive $^{222}$Rn beam, accelerated to 4.23 MeV/u, was provided by the HIE-ISOLDE facility at CERN. Data were collected in the Miniball $\gamma$ -ray spectrometer following the bombardment of two targets, $^{120}$Sn and $^{60}$Ni. Transition E2 matrix elements within the ground-state and octupole bands were measured up to 10 ¯h and the results were consistent with a constant intrinsic electric-quadrupole moment, 518(11) $e$ fm$^2$ . The values of the int…
Decorated pottery study: Analysis of pigments by x-ray absorbance spectroscopy measurements
2007
Characterization of pigments on decorated pottery fragments has been fully carried out by nondestructive x-ray absorbance spectroscopy (XAS). The samples were a series of pottery shards excavated from the archeological site of Caltagirone (Sicily, Italy), a well-known ceramic production center. Aesthetical criteria and morphological observations allowed us to attribute the samples to quite different historical periods, starting from the 18th century B.C. up to the 16th century A.D. An extensive time interval led us to suppose that different materials and techniques were used for the production of the ceramic paste and also for the preparation of pigments. XAS measurements were performed at …
Accretion in strong field gravity with eXTP
2019
In this paper we describe the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to accretion flows in the strong field gravity regime around both stellar-mass and supermassive black-holes. eXTP has the unique capability of using advanced 'spectral-timing-polarimetry' techniques to analyze the rapid variations with three orthogonal diagnostics of the flow and its geometry, yielding unprecedented insight into the inner accreting regions, the effects of strong field gravity on the material within them and the powerful outflows which are driven by the accretion process.
Intrinsic transverse momentum distribution of jet constituents in p-Pb collisions at ALICE
2014
The integral part of the URHIC program is also to study the pp and p–A collision in order to understand the “reference” (unmodified) particle production (in pp) and the “cold” nuclear phenomena in p–A. The main focus of this thesis is to study the parton shower evolution in p–Pb collisions in ALICE by analyzing jet fragmentation transverse momentum (j_{T} ). The analysis of j_{T} in p–Pb collisions, for which ALICE has a high quality data set, lays bases for later extension to pp and Pb–Pb data in order to study the induced gluon radiation. Additionally, the yields of \pi^0 meson were studied in Pb–Pb sqrt(s_{NN}) = 2.76 GeV collision. The \pi^0 analysis was followed for continuity of work …
On the carrier of inertia
2018
A change in momentum will inevitably perturb the all-embracing vacuum, whose reaction we understand as inertia. Since the vacuum's physical properties relate to light, we propose that the vacuum embodies photons, but in pairs without net electromagnetic fields. In this physical form the free space houses energy in balance with the energy of matter in the whole Universe. Likewise, we reason that a local gravitational potential is the vacuum in a local balance with energy that is bound to a body. Since a body couples to the same vacuum universally and locally, we understand that inertial and gravitational masses are identical. By the same token, we infer that gravity and electromagnetism shar…
Elektrophysiologische Untersuchung zum Einsatz von Streptolysin O und Natrium-Hyaluronat zur Permeabilitätsmodulation der Membran des runden Fensters…
2003
Background: The round window membrane (RWM) acts like a barrier for topically applied substances into the middle ear preventing diffusion into the perilymphatic fluid compartment. Material and Method: In an animal model, modulation of the permeability of the RWM was attempted using Streptolysin-O (SLO) in various concentrations and sodium hyaluronate. Thereafter, the effect of intratympanically applied Lidocain 2% on hearing threshold measured by auditory brainstem response was tested for Lidocain 2 % and Lidocain 2 % in combination with SLO or sodium hyaluronate. Results: The results show that both, SLO and sodium hyaluronate, influence the effect of Lidocain 2 % on hearing thresholds as a…
Pressure dependence of the optical properties of wurtzite and rock-salt Zn1–xCoxO thin films
2007
In this paper we investigate the electronic structure of Zn 1-x Co x O by means of optical absorption measurements under pressure. Thin films of Zn 1-x Co x O with different Co content (from 1 to 30%) were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on mica substrates. Absorption spectra exhibit three main features that are clearly correlated to the Co content in the films: (i) absorption peaks in the infrared associated to crystal-field-split internal transitions in the Co 3d shell, with very small pressure coefficients due to their atomic character; (ii) a broad absorption band below the fundamental edge associated to charge transfer transitions, that exhibit relatively large pressure coefficient…
X-ray CT imaging as a scientific tool to study the capillary water absorption in sedimentary rocks used in cultural heritages
2009
This paper proposes the X-Ray CT imaging as appropriate tool for investigating the capillary water absorption in sedimentary rocks. This technique, in fact, provides information useful for deeping the knowledge about of the porosity and the kinetics of the water capillary absorption in porous materials. The possibility to improve in non invasive manner, the understanding of this phenomenon, constitutes a fundamental aspect to take actions in the restoration and conservation of lapideous artifact and monuments from cultural heritages. The investigated sedimentary rocks come from different Sicilian quarries and were used for the building of the Greek temples in the archaeological areas of Agr…
