Sensor Properties of Pristine and Functionalized Carbon Nanohorns
2016
Nanodispersions of pristine single-wall carbon nanohorns (i.e., p-SWCNHs) and oxidized-SWCNHs (i.e.; o-SWCNHs) were used to modify screen printed electrode (SPE). p-SWCNHs and o-SWCNHs were fully characterized by using several analytical techniques, as: HR-TEM (High Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscopy), FE-SEM/EDX (Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The chemically modified SPEs were also characterized with Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), using several different electro-active targets. In all cases, p-SWCNHs showed bett…

Chemical modification of carbon nanomaterials (SWCNTs, DWCNTs, MWCNTs and SWCNHs) with diphenyl dichalcogenides
2015
Control over chemical functionalization is a crucial point in the field of nanotechnology. Herein, we present the covalent functionalization of several carbon nanoforms (single-walled carbon nanotubes, double-walled carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and carbon nanohorns) by means of diphenyl dichalcogenides. These ones show different reactivity to the nanomaterials and are able to modify their electronic properties depending on the electronegativity of the functionalizing heteroatom. Theoretical calculations were also performed to support the experimental results. All the modified structured nanocarbons were thoroughly characterized by TGA Raman, XPS, UV/Vis/nIR, IR and TEM te…
Multiple mechanisms of secondary hyperalgesia
2000
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the multiple mechanisms of secondary hyperalgesia. The chapter defines the minimal conditions of complexity that must be fulfilled by a model of plasticity of spinal nociceptive transmission in order to explain clinical and psychophysical observations in humans. Secondary hyperalgesia is characterized by a leftward shift of the stimulus-response function for noxious mechanical stimuli. In order to define the afferent pathways involved in inducing central sensitization and in mediating the hyperalgesia to noxious mechanical stimuli, several psychophysical experiments using selective nerve block techniques is performed. Secondary hyperalgesia is likely…
On Horn spectra
1991
Abstract A Horn spectrum is a spectrum of a Horn sentence. We show that to solve Asser's problem, and consequently the EXPTIME = ? NEXPTIME question it suffices to consider the class of Horn spectra. We also pose the problem whether or not the generator of every Horn spectrum is a spectrum. We prove that from a negative solution of the generator problem, a negative answer for the EXPTIME = ? NEXPTIME question follows. Some other relations between the generator problem and Asser's problem are given. Finally, the relativized version of the generator problem is formulated and it is shown that it has an affirmative solution for some oracles, and a negative solution for some others.
Post-collisional adakite-like magmatism in the Ağvanis Massif and implications for the evolution of the Eocene magmatism in the Eastern Pontides (NE …
2011
In the Anatolia, the Caucasus and northwest Iran, the Eocene epoch is characterized by widespread basic to acidic magmatism, whose temporal and spatial evolutions and origin are poorly understood. In this paper, we provide geochronological and geochemical data on a suite of Early Eocene intrusions from northeast Turkey and discuss their origin within a regional tectonic framework. Post to late-collisional, moderate to small bodies of quartz diorite and leucogranodiorite as well as later dacite porphyries intrude Permo-Triassic low-grade metamorphic rocks in the southern part of the Eastern Pontides very close to the Neo-Tethyan Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture. In places, the intrusives display…
MICRODISSECTION AND DOP-PCR-BASED REVERSE CHROMOSOME PAINTING AS A FAST AND RELIABLE STRATEGY IN THE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS STRUCTURAL CHROMOSOME ABNORM…
1996
Reverse chromosome painting has become a powerful tool in clinical genetics for the characterization of cytogenetically unclassifiable aberrations. In this report, the application of a sensitive and rapid procedure for the complete and precise identification of four different de novo structural chromosome abnormalities is presented. These chromosome rearrangements include a marker derived from chromosome 3(cen-q11), an interstitial deletion of chromosome 13 [del(13)(q14q22)], an unbalanced translocation [46,XY, -4, +der(4)t(4;8)(p 15.2;p21.1)] leading to Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, and a partial inverted duplication in conjunction with a partial deletion of chromosome 5p [46,XX, -5, +der(5)(:…
Border diplomacy and state-building in north-western Ethiopia,c. 1965–1977
2017
In the first half of the twentieth century, the north-western lowlands of imperial Ethiopia were the typical interstitial frontier of the Ethiopian–Sudanese borderlands. Starting in the early 1960s, a cash crop revolution paved the way to the transformation of the Mazega into a settlement frontier and the emergence of a dispute with Sudan for demarcation of the international border. This article explores the entanglement between the political economy of frontier governance and border diplomacy in the contested area. It highlights how the management of the border dispute was deeply affected by the contradictory interests of the various layers of government and “twilight” entities that projec…
Point counting on Picard curves in large characteristic
2005
We present an algorithm for computing the cardinality of the Jacobian of a random Picard curve over a finite field. If the underlying field is a prime field Fp, the algorithm has complexity O(p).
Síndrome de Horner como manifestación de disección carotídea
2011
Caso Clínico: Un varón de 42 años se presenta con ptosis y miosis izquierda después de una historia de cefalea homolateral de 20 días de evolución, que empeora progresivamente durante los últimos días. Una angioresonancia revela disección de la arteria carótida interna. Discusión: El «síndrome de Horner doloroso» destaca como una urgencia médica por posible manifestación de una disección carotídea. Consideramos que el perfecto conocimiento de las urgencias neurooftalmológicas es de gran necesidad para el médico oftalmólogo y que estas requieren una atención multidisciplinaria para asegurar un seguimiento y tratamiento adecuado. Clinical Case: A 42-year-old man presented with ptosis and mios…
