Ultrafast energy transfer in dansylated POPAM–eosin complexes
2006
Abstract Excitation energy transfer (EET) in dendritic host–guest complexes has been studied. Three generations G2, G3 and G4 of dansyl substituted poly(propyleneamine) dendrimers (POPAM) were complexed with a fluorescent dye eosin in chloroform solution. Arrival of excitation from dansyls to eosin was monitored by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. EET rates from the dansyls to eosin(s) are characterised by two time constants 1 ps and 6 ps independent of dendrimer generation. Relaxation processes in eosin were clearly faster when complexed with dendrimer than in solution. As several eosins are bound to G3 and G4 dendrimers, besides host–guest interaction, also eosin–eosin inter…
Excited states of [3.3](4,4')biphenylophane: the role of charge-transfer excitations in dimers with pi-pi interaction.
2010
The singlet and triplet electronic excitation manifold of [3.3](4,4')biphenylophane (BPP), an intramolecular dimer, and 4,4'-dimethylbiphenyl (DMBP), the corresponding monomer, has been analyzed by employing the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles model (CC2). The calculated triplet-triplet and singlet-singlet transient absorption spectra show good agreement with recent experimental results. The calculations suggest a strong interaction of the two biphenyl moieties of BPP in the first singlet and triplet excited states due to the overlapping pi-electron systems, and Forster-Dexter theory for weak coupling cannot be applied. Both the first excited singlet and triplet states of BP…
A STUDY ON THE POSSIBLE EFFECT OF TWO CRAYFISH SPECIES ON EPILITHIC ALGAE IN A MOUNTAIN STREAM FROM CENTRAL SPAIN
2006
The effects on epilithic algae of increasing densities of two crayfish species, Austropotamobius italicus and Pacifastacus leniusculus, the latter recently introduced in Spain, have been monitored using riverine enclosures, within a large experimental study on crayfish-macrobenthos interactions in a mountain stream. A 3-month test was carried out for each species using crayfish densities comprising between 0-5 individuals/m2 kept in 1-m2 enclosures. Epilithon was sampled periodically within the enclosures and chlorophyll a, b and c were measured by spectrophotometry. Neither statistically significant positive nor negative effects were observed on algal abundance (Chl concentrations) during …

Fashion Technology : What Are the Limits of Emerging Technological Design Thinking?
2021
Designing intelligent technologies is a multidisciplinary process. From this perspective, fashion has continued to be an under explored dimension of technology design. While there persistently are connections between the term fashion and the clothing design industry, an historical and sociological approach to fashion reveals a much deeper and permeating understanding of the notion and its implications across the technological world. During recent popular developments, the interrelationship between fashion as a concept and technology as components and proponents of fashion – technology as fashion promoter (think of Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook and even LinkedIn for example), and technology as…
Solid-state-biased coherent detection of ultra-broadband terahertz pulses
2017
Significant progress in nonlinear and ultrafast optics has recently opened new and exciting opportunities for terahertz (THz) science and technology, which require the development of reliable THz sources, detectors, and supporting devices. In this work, we demonstrate the first solid-state technique for the coherent detection of ultra-broadband THz pulses (0.1-10 THz), relying on the electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation in a thin layer of ultraviolet fused silica. The proposed CMOS-compatible devices, which can be realized with standard microfabrication techniques, allow us to perform ultra-broadband detection with a high dynamic range by employing probe laser powers and bias v…
Emergent ultrafast phenomena in correlated oxides and heterostructures
2017
The possibility of investigating the dynamics of solids on timescales faster than the thermalization of the internal degrees of freedom has disclosed novel non-equilibrium phenomena that have no counterpart at equilibrium. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) provide an interesting playground in which the correlations among the charges in the metal $d$-orbitals give rise to a wealth of intriguing electronic and thermodynamic properties involving the spin, charge, lattice and orbital orders. Furthermore, the physical properties of TMOs can be engineered at the atomic level, thus providing the platform to investigate the transport phenomena on timescales of the order of the intrinsic decoherence ti…
L'éducation à l'entrepreneuriat : quelle pertinence des politiques éducatives et de formation au Burkina-Faso ?
2020
Le colloque s'est déroulé en visio-conférence; International audience; L'éducation à l’entrepreneuriat (EE) est considérée comme un élément central dans la promotion de l’entrepreneuriat. Elle peut contribuer au développement d’attitudes et d’aptitudes nécessaires au processus entrepreneurial. Dans cet article, nous analysons l’impact de l’EE sur le comportement entrepreneurial de 896 étudiants des universités Ouaga I et II. Autrement-dit, il examine son effet sur leur niveau de compétence et leur capacité entrepreneuriale perçue, ainsi que leur intention d’entreprendre. Ce travail apporte également une analyse critique sur la pertinence des différentes politiques éducatives et de formation…
El lujo cambiante. El vestido y la difusión de las modas en la Corona de Aragón (siglos XIII-XV)
2015
La apariencia física de las persona era ya en la Baja Edad Media el primer indicativo de su condición social, pero en un período mucho más urbanizado e interconectado que los anteriores, el refinamiento de la indumentaria se convirtió en un hecho con unas connotaciones económicas, políticas y culturales de gran calado. El mismo incremento de la movilidad social llevó además a que no bastara con invertir grandes sumas en la propia imagen, sino que fuera necesario estar atento a los cambios de eso que llamamos “moda”, cuyos orígenes se suelen situar en estos momentos en los que las clases dominantes tradicionales buscaban nuevos elementos de diferenciación frente a los advenedizos. Todo ello …
