IL BENE DELLA DIGNITÀ UMANA IN SOCCORSO DELLA LEGGE MERLIN? : SULLA SENTENZA 141/2019 DELLA CORTE COSTITUZIONALE IN MATERIA DI FAVOREGGIAMENTO E RECL…

2019

Con la sentenza 141/2019 la Corte costituzionale ha dichiarato non fondata la questione di legittimità costituzionale dei reati di “reclutamento” e di “favoreggiamento” della prostituzione, proposta dalla Corte d’Appello di Bari. A partire dalla vicenda oggetto di giudizio, e dopo una preliminare indagine sui modelli di regolamentazione normativa della prostituzione volontaria e sui dubbi di legittimità costituzionale espressi dalla ordinanza di remissione, ci si sofferma su taluni aspetti critici della decisione. Nella prospettiva dell’Autore, la scelta di prostituirsi ha una inscindibile doppia natura (sessuale ed economica) e dunque una plurima copertura costituzionale; discutibili sono …

Vacancy-like Dressed States in Topological Waveguide QED

2020

We identify a class of dressed atom-photon states formingat the same energy of the atom at any coupling strength. As a hallmark, their photonic component is an eigenstate of the bare photonic bath with a vacancy in place of the atom. The picture accommodates waveguide-QED phenomena where atoms behave as perfect mirrors, connecting in particular dressed bound states (BS) in the continuum or BIC with geometrically-confined photonic modes. When applied to photonic lattices, the framework provides a general criterion to predict dressed BS in lattices with topological properties by putting them in one-to-one correspondence with photonic BS. New classes of dressed BS are thus predicted in the pho…

Color Sensitive Response of Graphene/Graphene Quantum Dot Phototransistors

2019

We present the fabrication and characterization of all-carbon phototransistors made of graphene three terminal devices, coated with atomically precise graphene quantum dots (GQD). Chemically synthesized GQDs are the light absorbing materials, while the underlying chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene layer acts as the charge transporting channel. We investigated three types of GQDs with different sizes and edge structures, having distinct and characteristic optical absorption in the UV–vis range. The photoresponsivity exceeds 106 A/W for vanishingly small incident power (<10–12 W), comparing well with state of the art sensitized graphene photodetectors. More importantly, the photor…

On the Objective Scope of the Methodological Prescriptions of the Regulative Function of Theoretical Reason in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

2017

En el ´Apéndice a la dialéctica trascendental´ de su "Crítica de la razón pura", Kant presenta prescripciones metodológicas para el conocimiento empírico. Expondré los dos conjuntos de prescripciones más importantes de esa metodología: a) la necesidad de introducir conceptos ´teóricos´; b) el uso hipotético de la razón y la exigencia de sistematicidad, que se refieren a leyes empíricas y a los conceptos vinculados con tales leyes. Cada uno de estos conjuntos de prescripciones tiene una dimensión objetiva propia, esto es, su aplicación es condición de posibilidad de la formación y validez objetiva de determinadas clases de leyes y/o conceptos. Mi objetivo es presentar las diferencias y relac…

Synthesis of ZnO–Ag2CO3–Fe3O4@rGO core–shell structure: magnetically separable photocatalyst for degradation of MB using the Box–Behnken design

2020

In this work, a simple microwave method was utilized to prepare ZnO sheet linked with Fe3O4@rGO core–shell and of Ag2CO3 through formation of the quadri-photocatalytic with high activity. The microstructure, morphology, spectroscopic, and magnetic characteristics of the prepared samples were assessed using XRD, SEM, PL, TEM, FT-IR, DLS, and VSM analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the material was evaluated for photodegradation of methylene blue dye under the UV and visible light with home-made photoreactor. The response surface method in a Box–Behnken design was utilized to design the experiments. The parameters affecting the efficiency of the degradation including, pH (5–9), photocata…

Comparison of Single Event Transients Generated at Four Pulsed-Laser Test Facilities-NRL, IMS, EADS, JPL

2012

Four pulsed-laser single-event effects systems, differing in wavelength and pulse width, were used to generate single event transients in a large-area silicon photodiode and an operational amplifier (LM124) to determine how transient amplitude and charge collection varied among the different systems. The optical wavelength and the focused spot size are the primary factors influencing the resultant charge density profile. In the large-area photodiode the transients can be distorted by high charge-injection densities that occur for tightly focused, higher energy optical pulses. When the incident laser-pulse energies are corrected for reflection losses and photon efficiency, with collection de…

ABALONETM Photosensors for the IceCube experiment

2020

Abstract The ABALONE TM Photosensor Technology (U.S. Pat. 9,064,678) is a modern technology specifically invented for cost-effective mass production, robustness, and high performance. We present the performance of advanced fused-silica ABALONE Photosensors, developed specifically for the potential extension of the IceCube neutrino experiment, and stress-tested for 120 days. The resulting performance makes a significant difference: intrinsic gain of ≈ 6 × 108, total afterpulsing rate of only 5 × 10−3 ions per photoelectron , sub-nanosecond timing resolution, single-photon sensitivity, and unique radio-purity and UV sensitivity, thanks to the fused silica components—at no additional cost to t…

ZnMgO-based UV photodiodes: a comparison of films grown by spray pyrolysis and MBE

2016

Detecting the UV part of the spectrum is fundamental for a wide range of applications where ZnMgO has the potential to play a central role. The shortest achievable wavelength is a function of the Mg content in the films, which in turn is dependent on the growth technique. Moreover, increasing Mg contents lead to an electrical compensation of the films, which directly affects the responsivity of the photodetectors. In addition, the metal-semiconductor interface and the presence of grain boundaries have a direct impact on the responsivity through different gain mechanisms. In this work, we review the development of ZnMgO UV Schottky photodiodes using molecular beam epitaxy and spray pyrolysis…

Matrix isolation and quantum chemical studies on the H2O2–SO2complex

2004

Complexation and photochemical reactions of hydrogen peroxide and sulfur dioxide have been studied in solid Ar, Kr and Xe. Complexes between H2O2 and SO2 are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. In solid Ar, the H2O2–SO2 complex absorptions are found at wavenumbers of 3572.8, 3518.7, 3511.2, 3504.3, 1340.3, 1280.2 and 1149.9 cm−1. In Kr and Xe matrices, the bonded OH stretching frequencies deviate from the values in Ar, and we propose that the matrix surrounding influences the structure of the H2O2–SO2 complex. UV photolysis of the H2O2–SO2 was also studied in solid Ar, Kr and Xe. This photolysis produces mainly a complex between sulfur tri…
