Potential combined effects of maternal smoking and coffee intake on foetal death within the Danish National Birth Cohort
2018
Background: Several studies have linked coffee intake and smoking to foetal death, but a possible interaction between both exposures remains unknown.Methods: We studied, within the Danish National Birth Cohort, the potential interaction between smoking and coffee drinking while pregnant on the risk of foetal (early and late) death. The study included 90 086 pregnant women, with information about their smoking habit and coffee intake in early pregnancy, and several potential confounding factors. Interaction was studied by calculating both the hazard ratio (HR) in Cox's regression (linear and smoothed restricted cubic spline) and the interaction contrast ratio (ICR).Results: Women who neither…
Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advances and practical implementation
2014
Thanks to some technical progress in interferencefilter design based on different technologies, we can finally successfully implement the concept of multispectral filter array-based sensors. This article provides the relevant state-of-the-art for multispectral imaging systems and presents the characteristics of the elements of our multispectral sensor as a case study. The spectral characteristics are based on two different spatial arrangements that distribute eight different bandpass filters in the visible and near-infrared area of the spectrum. We demonstrate that the system is viable and evaluate its performance through sensor spectral simulation. Multispectral filter arrays: Recent advan…

Sociālie priekšnosacījumi Latvijas mazo pilsētu attīstībai: Iecavas piemērs
2017
Maģistra darba „Sociālie priekšnosacījumi Latvijas mazo pilsētu attīstībai: Iecavas piemērs” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādi ir mazas pilsētas attīstības sociālie priekšnosacījumi un to nozīme vietas attīstībā. Darbā autors apskata literatūru par sociālo plānošanu un tās aspektiem, tiek veikts teritorijas raksturojums, lai noskaidrotu pilsētas sociālās attīstības priekšnosacījumus, veiktas padziļinātas intervijas ar pašvaldības pārstāvjiem. Darba rezultāts – Iecavas sociālo attīstības priekšnosacījumu novērtējums un teritorijas nākotnes attīstības iespējas, balstoties uz tiem. Maģistra darbs sastāv no 5 nodaļām un 17 apakšnodaļām, informāciju papildina 23 attēli un 4 pielikumi. Maģistra darba ap…
Extraordinary Performance of Carbon‐Coated Anatase TiO 2 as Sodium‐Ion Anode
2015
The synthesis of in situ polymer‐functionalized anatase TiO2 particles using an anchoring block copolymer with hydroxamate as coordinating species is reported, which yields nanoparticles (≈11 nm) in multigram scale. Thermal annealing converts the polymer brushes into a uniform and homogeneous carbon coating as proven by high resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The strong impact of particle size as well as carbon coating on the electrochemical performance of anatase TiO2 is demonstrated. Downsizing the particles leads to higher reversible uptake/release of sodium cations per formula unit TiO2 (e.g., 0.72 eq. Na+ (11 nm) vs only 0.56 eq. Na+ (40 nm)) while the …
I soffitti lignei dipinti e le strutture di copertura nella architettura religiosa della Sicilia barocca. Conoscenza e diagnosi per il progetto di re…
2009
Wooden ceilings characterize many baroque churches in Sicily and they have a particular meaning in the spatial conception of the architecture because of the false dome prospective painted on. For such a reason they are able to dominate the baroque architectural spatiality being a planar surface. Often forgotten and difficult to reach, the wooden painted ceilings represent an meaningful testimony of history and art but they are know asking for a conservation and maintenance attitude to start. The essay explain a method to design a conservation project without scaffolding and presents the software processing phases to develop in order to point out the degradation conditions through thermograp…
Local mechanical properties by Atomic Force Microscopy nanoindentations
2008
The analysis of mechanical properties on a nanometer scale is a useful tool for combining information concerning texture organization obtained by microscopy with the properties of individual components- Moreover, this technique promotes the understanding of the hierarchical arrangement in complex natural materials as well in the case of simpler morphologies arising from industrial processes. Atomic Force Microscopy, AFM, can bridge morphological information, obtained with outstanding resolution, to local mechanical properties. When performing an AFM nanoindentation, the rough force curve, i.e., the plot of the voltage output from the photodiode vs. the voltage applied to the piezo-scanner, …
