Le tympan du portail central de la cathédrale de Nantes
1998
The tympanum of the central portal of Nantes cathedral. Owing to a reassessment of the available sources on the sculptured decor of the façade of Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul cathedral in Nantes, it is possible to bring some precisions about the original state of the building. The tympanum of the central portal of this façade did not present, as is usually acknowledged, an original openwork design which was filled up in the 17th century when the organ loft was erected. The analysis of the still existing remnants, as well as the size and nature of the stones used in this portal leads one to think that its present state dates back to the actual construction. Textual pieces of evidence allow the…

Il Genio di Palermo. Contesti urbani e immagini scultoree
2010
Il testo si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare, con una metodologia interdisciplinare, le sculture del Genio di Palermo che, nel tessuto urbanistico della città, costituiscono, molto spesso, dei significativi esempi di arredo urbano realizzando una simbiosi –talora di analogia e talora di contrasto- tra testo plastico e contesto ambientale.
Assessment of wastewater treatment plant design for small communities: Environmental and economic aspects
2012
The preliminary design and economic assessment of small wastewater treatment plants (less than 2000 population equivalent) are issues of particular interest since wastewaters from most of these agglomerations are not covered yet. This work aims to assess nine different technologies set-up for the secondary treatment in such type of facilities embracing both economic and environmental parameters. The main novelty of this work is the combination of an innovative environmental decision support system (EDSS) with a pioneer approach based on the inclusion of the environmental benefits derived from wastewater treatment. The integration of methodologies based on cost-benefit analysis tools with th…
Si self-diffusion in cubic B20-structured FeSi
2008
Self-diffusion of implanted 31Si in the e-phase FeSi (cubic B20-structure) has been determined in the temperature range 660–810 °C using the modified radiotracer technique. With an activation enthalpy of 2.30 eV and a pre-exponential factor of 15×10−8 m2 s−1 the silicon diffusivity was found to be slightly slower than Ge impurity diffusion in FeSi. This difference is proposed to originate from attractive elastic interactions prevailing between the slightly oversized Ge atoms and the Si sublattice vacancies. The results confirm the argument that 71Ge radioisotopes may be used to substitute the short-lived 31Si radiotracers when estimating self-diffusion in silicides.
Verbal fluency in school-aged Spanish children: analysis of clustering and switching organizational strategies, employing different semantic categori…
2021
La tarea de fluidez verbal (FV) es una medida de la flexibilidad cognitiva y la estrategia de búsqueda dentro del léxico y el tema semántico. En este trabajo, se probó el uso de estrategias organizativas, es decir, agrupación y cambio en la fluidez semántica y fonológica en niños españoles sanos divididos en dos grupos: el grupo 1 de niños más pequeños (de 8 a 9 años) y el grupo 2 de niños mayores (de 10 años de edad) –11) introducción de diferentes letras (F, A, S y P, M, R) y categorías semánticas (animales y comidas o bebidas). La fluidez semántica fue mayor que la fluidez fonológica en ambos grupos de edad. Además, los niños mayores mostraron un mejor desempeño de ambas fluencias que lo…
Recent trends in the development of CdTe and CdZnTe semiconductor detectors for astrophysical applications
2010
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) offer great promise as x-ray and gamma ray detectors. Due to the high detection efficiency, the good room temperature performance and the recent improvements on crystal growth technology, CdTe and CdZnTe detectors have obtained an increasing interest in the field of hard x-ray and gamma ray astronomy. In this paper, we report on the R&D activities on CdTe and CdZnTe detectors for high energy space instrumentation. Our group has been involved in the design of new multilayer hard x and soft gamma ray Laue lens telescopes and, in particular on the development of focal plane detectors based on CdTe and CdZnTe. Here we present the acti…
Resonant laser spectroscopy of localized excitons in monolayer WSe_2
2016
Coherent quantum control and resonance fluorescence of few-level quantum systems is integral for quantum technologies. Here we perform resonance and near-resonance excitation of three-dimensionally confined excitons in monolayer WSe2 to reveal near-ideal single-photon fluorescence with count rates up to 3 MHz. Using high-resolution photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of the localized excitons, we uncover a weakly fluorescent exciton state ∼5 meV blue shifted from the ground-state exciton, providing important information to unravel the precise nature of quantum states. Successful demonstration of resonance fluorescence paves the way to probe the localized exciton coherence in two-dime…
Studio della Nonlinearità Quadratica di Zincoblende per la Generazione di TeraHertz in Guida d'Onda: un Confronto di Cristalli Differenti
2009
DFG TeraHertz generation can approach the quantum efficiency limit with much lower peak powers than bulk experiments. We give details on the model and on the waveguide geometry.
