Hydrogen influence on the structure and properties of amorphous hydrogenated carbon films deposited by direct ion beam
2008
Abstract The present work provides results for amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) films grown by direct ion beam deposition method. Acetylene and its mixtures with hydrogen were used. The films were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, elastic recoil detection, Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, infrared spectroscopy, and microhardness measurements. These techniques indicated that an admixture of hydrogen yields a lower deposition rate, a higher content of total and bounded hydrogen in the a-C:H films, and a lower film density. The optical and mechanical properties depend on both, hydrogen concentrations in the gas phase and in the films, and show a strong diamond-like…
Expanding Possibilities: Project Work Using ICT
2005
One of the main findings from the SITES Module 2 study internationally is the increased use of project work connected to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in many countries around the world. The Norwegian cases presented in this article support these findings, showing that when teachers and students use ICT in school settings, it is most often part of project work. However, there is a need to analyze to a larger degree the project work using ICT. In this article, project work using ICT is analyzed firstly by studying the changes in learning environment that the technology represents or as a catalyst for physical changes in the spaces in schools. Secondly, project …
Optical active centres in ZnO samples
2006
Abstract In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the interest in the use of ZnO (Eg ∼ 3.37 eV) as a material for a wide range of opto-emitter applications spanning visible and short wavelengths. Bulk, thin films and nanomaterials obtained using different synthesis methods have been investigated for optoelectronic and biotechnological device applications. Nominally undoped bulk samples typically present a myriad-structured near-band-edge recombination, mainly due to free/bound excitons and donor–acceptor pair transitions. Furthermore, deep level emission due to intrinsic defects and extrinsic impurities, such as transition metal ions, are commonly observed in different grades of bulk…
Navigating in the Digital Jungle : Articulating Combinatory Affordances of Digital Infrastructures for Collaboration
2019
During digital transformation, companies integrate digital technologies creating large and complex digital infrastructures. These digital infrastructures hold combinatory affordances enabling companies to achieve outcomes that are more than the sum of their parts (i.e., the individual digital technologies). Owing to the complexity of digital infrastructures, these combinatory affordances are ever-present but hidden in the thicket of the infrastructure making their effective use a challenge. We report on an ethnographic study of a large German car manufacturer (Car Inc.) that increasingly integrated digital technologies into its infrastructure as part of its digital transformation strategy. …

Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina; Argentina Resum: La majoria dels articles publicats al voltant de les aportacions de Lawrence Kohlberg fan referència fonamentalment a la seua faceta com a investigador del desenvolupament moral més que al seu enfocament de l’educació moral. En aquest treball s’exposen les principal…
Interaction affordances in traditional instruments and tablet computers: A study of children’s musical group creativity
2019
In order to promote children’s collaborative musical creativity in new digital environments, we need a better understanding not only of the sound production capabilities provided by the new digital tools, but also of the interaction affordances involved. This study focuses on the interactional patterns emerging in children’s musical creativity, comparing creative group processes on iPad tablet computers (with GarageBand software) to processes on traditional musical instruments. Both instrumentations were assigned to five groups of four 10–12-year-olds for creating sound landscapes for a “space” movie. The traditional instrument groups’ processes were characterized by peer teaching as well …
Housing Affordability and Income-threshold in Social Housing Policy
2016
Abstract The issue of affordable housing has again become crucial in ensuring a greater social equity, increasing social cohesion and reducing inequalities within metropolitan or regional systems which, in the current climate of severe economic crisis, have to respond to global challenges of development, innovation and sustainability. This study aims at building a system of knowledge about the housing affordability on the territorial scale, by which to identify the local characteristics of housing problems that could be solved through traditional planning tools or new practices of social housing, which involves private stakeholders and/or public administrations. This system of knowledge sho…
