Modeling of surface vs. bulk ionic conductivity in fixed charge membranes
2003
A two-region model for describing the conductivity of porous fixed charge membranes is proposed. In the surface region, the conductivity is due to the mobile positive ions (counterions) around the negative fixed charges. In the pore center region, the conductive properties resemble those of the external electrolyte solution because the fixed charges are assumed to be effectively neutralized by the counterions in the surface region. Activation energies and surface diffusion coefficients are estimated by assuming that the counterion jump from a fixed charge group is the rate limiting process for surface transport. The barrier energy for this jump is calculated using a simple electrostatic mod…
Novel method for determination of tritium depth profiles in metallic samples
2019
Tritium accumulation in fusion reactor materials is considered a serious radiological issue, therefore a lot of effort has been concentrated on the development of radiometric techniques. A novel method, based on gradual dissolution, for the determination of the total tritium content and its depth profiles in metallic samples is demonstrated. This method allows for the measurement of tritium in metallic samples after their exposure to a hydrogen and tritium mixture, tritium containing plasma or after irradiation with neutrons resulting in tritium formation. In this method, successive layers of metal are removed using an appropriate etching agent in the controlled regime and the amount of evo…
In-flight recoil separators RITU and MARA and the standard detector setups
2023
In-flight recoil separators RITU and MARA at Jyväskylä Accelerator Laboratory are complementary devices to separate the fusion-evaporation residues from the primary beam and other reaction products. The nuclear-structure-research program at Jyväskylä utilizes these separators and the detector setups shared between the separators to identify weak reaction channels and extract nuclear-structure information via decay experiments and in-beam spectroscopic studies. For example the very weak N∼Z nuclei are studied in-beam by using 𝛽-decay tagging method (Tuike scintillator) enhanced with the mass selection (MARA) and charge particle-evaporation veto (JYTube). peerReviewed
Magnetofection of acoustically active „magnetic microspheres“ (Magnetobubbles) — Induction of angiogenesis via non-viral transfection of VEGF
2009
Adenoviral transduction of the VEGF gene in an oversized skin flap increases flap survival and perfusion. In this study we investigated the potential of magnetofection of magnetic lipospheres containing VEGF165-cDNA on survival and perfusion of ischemic skin flaps and evaluated the method with respect to the significance of applied magnetic field and ultrasound.
Internacionalización de la banca española: evolución y resultados en los años noventa
2001
La globalización de la economía ha sido uno de los factores que ha impulsado el proceso de internacionalización de las empresas industriales, al que, posteriormente, se ha unido el sector servicios. Las peculiaridades de dicho sector, así como el dinamismo registrado en el sistema financiero, han motivado que se elija a las entidades bancarias como representantes del fenómeno de la internacionalización a finales del siglo XX. El trabajo se ha centrado en el análisis de la estrategia internacional de los principales bancos españoles por volumen de negocio y presencia exterior: los modos de entrada y principales mercados de destino de la inversión española, así como la relación entre el grado…
Modeling of intracellular transport in realistic cell geometries
2018
The transport of molecules inside cells is a complex process, the characterization of which is important to gain full understanding of cellular processes. Understanding of intracellular transport is also important for medical applications, for example when analyzing transport of medicine inside cells. The intracellular environment is very complex, and at least the most crucial parts of this complexity must be accounted for to solve transport problems in cells. In this thesis the results of studies in modeling intracellular transport are presented. The aim of the work was to model intracellular transport of proteins and viral capsids in realistic cell environments. To this end, microscopic m…
Adopting sustainable irrigation technologies in Italy: a study on the determinants of inter- and intra-farm diffusion
2023
This paper analyses the drivers for adopting irrigation systems with water conservation and saving technologies (WCSTs) by Italian farmers. The agricultural sector in Italy, like in other Mediterranean countries, suffers from water scarcity and water endowment variability. Water resources play a decisive role in agricultural production and in implementing large-scale WCSTs capable of improving the resilience of the whole agricultural sector. This study uses a microeconomic panel data approach to estimate farmers' decisions in adopting (inter-farm) sustainable irrigation technologies and assesses the intensity of (intra-farm) water-saving practices. Our analysis identifies the main determina…
