Technical and economical comparison between NdFeB and hard ferrites linear electrical generators from sea waves
2015
In this paper the authors perform a technical-economic comparison of two different Tubular Permanent Magnet Linear Machines for sea waves generation by using finite elements analysis. The first configuration includes ferrite rings while the second configuration includes neodymium-iron-boron rings. In order to compare the two types in economic and technical terms, a detailed analysis of the main figures of merit of the two configurations has been carried out. In particular, significant data such as flux distribution, rated voltage and current, axial force, electric power, realization cost and maintenance cost have been compared.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Neuroimaging Coregistration
2013
The development of neuroimaging techniques is one of the most impressive advancements in neuroscience. The main reason for the widespread use of these instruments lies in their capacity to provide an accurate description of neural activity during a cognitive process or during rest. This important advancement is related to the possibility to selectively detect changes of neuronal activity in space and time by means of different biological markers. Specifically, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIRS) use metabolic markers of ongoing neuronal activity to provide a…

GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
2017
On August 17, 2017 at 12-41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW170817, was detected with a combined signal-to-noise ratio of 32.4 and a false-alarm-rate estimate of less than one per 8.0×104 years. We infer the component masses of the binary to be between 0.86 and 2.26 M, in agreement with masses of known neutron stars. Restricting the component spins to the range inferred in binary neutron stars, we find the component masses to be in the range 1.17-1.60 M, with the total mass of the system 2.74-0.01+0.04M. The source was localized within a sky region of 28 deg2 (90% probabili…
Timing an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar: Measuring the Accretion Torque in IGR J00291+5934
2006
We performed a timing analysis of the fastest accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934 using RXTE data taken during the outburst of December 2004. We corrected the arrival times of all the events for the orbital (Doppler) effects and performed a timing analysis of the resulting phase delays. In this way we have the possibility to study, for the first time in this class of sources, the spin-up of a millisecond pulsar as a consequence of accretion torques during the X-ray outburst. The accretion torque gives us for the first time an independent estimate of the mass accretion rate onto the neutron star, which can be compared with the observed X-ray luminosity. We also report a revised valu…
Acidity and basicity of primaryN-phenylnitramines: catalytic effect of protons on the nitramine rearrangement
2002
Para-substituted N-phenylnitramines were prepared either by oxidation of diazonium salts or by nitration under alkaline or acidic conditions. Isotopic [15N-NO2] labelling indicated that the bands characteristic of the N-nitro group appear in the 1318–1323 and 1585–1607 cm−1 regions. In the nitrogen NMR spectra, the nitramino group gives two resonances at −193 ± 3 (NH) and −32 ± 3 ppm (NO2). The chemical shifts in proton and carbon NMR spectra are predictable, based on increments and the additivity rule. The spectral data indicate the lack of conjugation between the nitramino group and another substituent bound to the ring. It seems to contradict the well-known fact that substituents strongl…
Noble Gases as Magnetic Probes in Fullerene Chemistry
2016
Since the early 1990s of the previous century, the use of magnetic active noble gas atom to indirectly probe the size and symmetry of fullerene cage has been reviewed. Molecular modeling of nuclear shielding (and chemical shift) using gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) approach at several levels of theory, including Hartree–Fock (HF), density functional theory (DFT), and coupled cluster (CC), is discussed. The advantage of using GIAO calculation to predict and closely reproduce experimental 3He and 129Xe NMR spectra is shown.
Johnson-Nyquist Noise Effects in Neutron Electric-Dipole-Moment Experiments
2021
Magnetic Johnson-Nyquist noise (JNN) originating from metal electrodes, used to create a static electric field in neutron electric-dipole-moment (nEDM) experiments, may limit the sensitivity of measurements. We present here the first dedicated study on JNN applied to a large-scale long-measurement-time experiment with the implementation of a co-magnetometry. In this study, we derive surface- and volume-averaged root-mean-square normal noise amplitudes at a certain frequency bandwidth for a cylindrical geometry. In addition, we model the source of noise as a finite number of current dipoles and demonstrate a method to simulate temporal and three-dimensional spatial dependencies of JNN. The c…
