Supramolecular aggregation of bis-imidazolium functionalised perylene bisimides
Temporal control of xyloglucan self-assembly by radiation-induced degradation
2016
Xyloglucan is a natural polysaccharide present as storage material in seeds and structural materials in the primary cells walls of higher plants. Xyloglucan from tamarind seed is composed of B(1,4)-D-glucan backbone, partially substituted by a-(1,6)-linked xylose units, some of which are B-D-galactosylated at O-2. In its native form the polymer is water-soluble and forms gel in the presence of moderate amounts of alcohols. When a given fraction of galactosyl residues are removed, the polymer acquires the ability to form gels in aqueous solution at physiological temperatures, a property of great interest for biomedical/pharmaceutical applications. Gelation on increasing temperature can be as…

Fabrication of 3-D phononic crystals for thermal transport management
2016
Thermal transport is an important physical phenomenon, and it has recently become even more relevant for the reduction of energy losses and the increase of efficiency in novel devices based on thermoelectricity [1]. Significant reduction of thermal conduction was recently achieved by coherent modification of phonon modes [2], with the help of periodic phononic crystal structures. However, currently the experimental studies have only been performed for two-dimensional (2-D) nanostructures. Theoretically, the magnitude of control of thermal transport should be even stronger in three-dimensional (3-D) phononic crystal structures. For that reason, the question arises how to fabricate the desire…
Ionic self assembly in the design of fluorinated ionic liquid crystals (ILCs)
2011
Ionic liquid crystals are a class of compounds containing anions and cations, that combine the properties of liquid crystals and ionic liquids[1]. In the conventional design of ionic liquid crystalline compounds, an ionic core is connected with mesogenic groups via chemical covalent bonding . Alternatively, in ionic compounds, strong electrostatic interactions between cation and anion can be used to build up liquid crystalline order at supramolecular level. This general approach, called ionic self-assembly (ISA), allows one to create ionic phases and mesophases with highly organized supramolecular order [2]. In this context, a new series of fluorinated ionic liquids (ILs) and ionic liquid c…

Los túmulos funerarios en las altas jerarquías sociales. La reproducción del modelo regio lejos de la Corte
2014
ABSTRACT: The society of the ancient regime recreated the distinctive, justifying, and propagandistic rites of power that were performed at court in cities far away from it. These rites were led by the holders of civil and religious power, and even utilized formulas that would not have been permitted, because they copied the royal ones. The rituals surrounding death form part of these practices, with first-class artistic derivations, including ephemeral architecture, emblematics and chalcography, or intaglio. My study focuses on the catafalque of a priest and another of a nobleman in Seville in the mid-eighteenth century. KEYWORDS: Funereal Emblematics, Colegio de San Basilio Magno, Eugenio…

The individual determinants unemployment duration
1997
Si, aujourd'hui, les études sur les comportements des demandeurs d'emploi sur le marché du travail sont de plus en plus importantes, la modélisation de ces comportements comporte encore un bon nombre d'interrogations. Parmi celles-ci figure le problème du biais d'échantillonnage présent dans laplupart des données françaises sur les durées de chômage. Dans un précédent travail, nous avons montré l'importance et les conséquences de l'oubli du biais d'échantillonnage sur les probabilités conditionnelles de sortie du chômage. Dans le travail présenté ici et réalisé à partir de l'enquête « suivides chômeurs », notre intérêt porte sur les conséquences de l'oubli de ce biais sur les déterminants i…
Una piazza lineare ai margini del parco
2013
Attorno all’area archeologica di Agrigento si è sviluppata, infatti, una complessa città frammentata e abusiva, totalmente avvolta da infrastrutture di trasporto sovrabbondanti. Tra questi frammenti, Villaggio Mosè - vivace realtà commerciale sviluppatasi “spontaneamente” lungo una Strada Statale - costituisce un fenomeno paradossale in quanto “organizzata” per soddisfare le esigenze di chi si sposta utilizzando l’automobile e non garantisce chi vuole esercitare il “diritto di muoversi liberamente” (Cecchini, Talu, 2011). Il contesto richiede interventi risolutivi nell’intento di migliorare la “qualità della vita nelle città” (UE, Comunicazione n.60, 2004, 29). Questa dipende, infatti, fort…
