Musical Self-Concept - Presentation of a Multi-Dimensional Model and Its Empirical Analyses
2009
Research on the specific domain of musical self-concept was so far exclusively concerned with musically active subjects (such as performers, music teachers, students, or singing children). In contrast, the starting base of the presented research is that music is a distinct aspect in everyone’s life and personality and that therefore musical self-concept is general and includes a number of domain besides achievement. The presented multi-dimensional model includes (i) non-academic and (ii) dimensions of musical ability. The first section entails representations with regards to “who I am” in music, such as emotional, social, physical, cognitive and spiritual notions, while section two addresse…
The shape of the water
2016
The Po River is a living organism that breathes: it inhales and swells; it exhales and releases its energy. Between two extreme phases of overflow and shallows, there are endless variations. In Piacenza, at the riverside, hydrometric instruments also took size and shape of a special building in reinforced concrete crowned by conical elements. When the water level rises, it floods the earth gradually; it deletes some marks lapping, and then reveals other things. The water clears and continuously constructs, in a surreal atmosphere of expectation, always in the balance between the catastrophe and the regeneration of a soil that emerges like an archaeological plan. Visible volumes are like the…
Derechos Humanos, discapacidad y toma de conciencia: artículo 8 de la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, un camino previ…
2013
La tesis defiende que la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad y su artículo 8 relativo a la toma de conciencia crean una estructura de interpretación y aplicación que entrelaza obligaciones, principios y derechos que se vertebran en la toma de conciencia. De manera que la toma de conciencia se apoya en los derechos contenidos en la Convención, y los derechos contenidos en la Convención se estructuran en la toma de conciencia. De esta forma se supera la dimensión enunciativa y declarativa de los derechos, y se plantea al mundo jurídico la necesidad de buscar fórmulas que, más allá del conocimiento de lo preceptuado en las normas, lleven a la observancia. Por ello se…
Changes of several metabolic parameters of soya inoculated with phytopathogens at application nanochelates
2022
n greenhouse experiments changes in several metabolic parameters soybeans plants after inoculation by P. savastanoi pv. glycinea 9190, X. axonopodis pv. glycines 9192, BCMV, A. laidlawii on background pre-treatment by nanochelates (NHs) of V, Ge, Cu, Mo have been shown. The phenolic compounds content increased in leaves at inoculation by phytopathogens on background pre-treatment by NHs and without it. The content of H2O2 in leaves increased in variants: BCMV (+VNHs, GeNHs, CuNHs), 9192 (+VNHs, CuNHs), 9190 (+GeNHs, CuNHs), A. laidlawii+MoNHs. But it decreased in the variants: BCMV + MoNHs, A. laidlawii + VNHs, 9190 + VNHs, 9192 (+ GeNHs, CuNHs) compared to controls. The peroxidase activity…

NMR and $\mu^{+}$SR detection of unconventional spin dynamics in Er(trensal) and Dy(trensal) molecular magnets
2019
Measurements of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H1NMR) spectra and relaxation and of muon spin relaxation (μ+SR) have been performed as a function of temperature and external magnetic field on two isostructural lanthanide complexes, Er(trensal) and Dy(trensal) [where H3trensal=2,2′,2′′-tris-(salicylideneimino)triethylamine], featuring crystallographically imposed trigonal symmetry. Both the nuclear 1/T1 and muon λ longitudinal relaxation rates (LRRs) exhibit a peak for temperatures T < 30 K, associated to the slowing down of the spin dynamics, and the width of the NMR absorption spectra starts to increase significantly at T ∼50 K, a temperature sizably higher than the one of the LRR p…
Preparation of Nd:YAG Nanopowder in a Confined Environment
2007
Nanopowder of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) doped with neodymium ions (Nd:YAG) was prepared in the water/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/1-butanol/n-heptane system. Aluminum, yttrium, and neodymium nitrates were used as starting materials, and ammonia was used as a precipitating agent. Coprecipitate hydroxide precursors where thermally treated at 900 degrees C to achieve the garnet phase. The starting system with and without reactants was characterized by means of the small-angle neutron scattering technique. The system, without reactants, is constituted by a bicontinuous structure laying near the borderline with the lamellar phase region. The introduction of nitrates stabilizes th…
Programmable surface-architectures derived from hybrid polyoxometalate-based clusters
2011
The exploration of the self-organization of a range of the polyoxometalate-based molecular structures reveals a diverse range of surface patterns and morphologies on solid substrates of technological interest, including methylated and hydroxylated silicon surfaces (namely, SiCH3 and SiOH). By exploiting the interplay between the intrinsic molecular properties and the surface chemistry as well as dynamic spatiotemporal phenomena (e.g., dewetting), we show that these systems can yield 0D, 2D, and 3D architectures via solution deposition at the solid surface, including nanodots, discs, lamellas, porous networks, and layer-by-layer assemblies. In general, we observed that layer-by-layer growth …
Characterisation of single semiconductor nanowires by non-destructive spectroscopies
2015
Los nanohilos semiconductores (NWs, de su nombre inglés, nanowires) tienen una amplia gama de aplicaciones en el campo de la optoelectrónica (emisores de luz y diodos láser), nano-electrónica (circuitos lógicos y transistores de efecto de campo), y detección y producción de energía (células solares). En términos generales, los NWs pueden ser descritos como nanoestructuras de forma alargada con diámetros que van típicamente de decenas a cientos de nanómetros, y con longitudes que oscilan desde pocas hasta las decenas de micras. Dicha morfología ofrece dos ventajas principales en comparación con las capas: su alta relación superficie-volumen y su mayor calidad cristalina, ambas beneficiosas p…

2023
R-code and data for replicating statistical analyses used in the study: Increasing human environmental footprint does not lead to biotic homogenization of forest bird communities in northern USA. This study examined how forest loss and increased human domination in the state of Minnesota in the USA were associated with diversity of forest birds using bird count data.
