Mass Spectrometry in Food Quality and Safety
2015
Abstract In recent years, mass spectrometry has gained a wide recognition as a selective and fast technique for the analysis and assessment of a wide range of food products. The state of the art in the determination of safety and quality of food is presented to illustrate the capability of this technique for classification and grading, defect and disease detection, distribution and visualization of chemical attributes, and evaluations of overall quality of meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and other food products. The features of mass spectrometry for each category were summarized in the aspects of the investigated quality and safety attributes, the used systems (triple quadrupole, quadrupole…
Rural-cultural excursion conceptualization: A local tourism marketing management model based on tourist destination image measurement
2009
Abstract Excursions to small, rural villages rich with historical heritage and architectural harmony are popular in Spain and other similar countries. This study presents a conceptualization and definition of this sort of tourism in rural-cultural destinations. In addition, it introduces a combination of variables that define the image of the destination, the characteristics of these types of trips, and characteristics of the rural-cultural tourist. One of the main results of this qualitative and quantitative empirical research is that it identifies a set of variables that span the cognitive and affective components of tourism. These cognitive–affective components mainly address the towns' …
Optical properties of Ge-oxygen defect center embedded in silica films
2007
The photo-luminescence features of Ge-oxygen defect centers in a 100nm thick Ge-doped silica film on a pure silica substrate were investigated by looking at the emission spectra and time decay detected under synchrotron radiation excitation in the 10-300 K temperature range. This center exhibits two luminescence bands centered at 4.3eV and 3.2eV associated with its de-excitation from singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) states, respectively, that are linked by an intersystem crossing process. The comparison with results obtained from a bulk Ge-doped silica sample evidences that the efficiency of the intersystem crossing rate depends on the properties of the matrix embedding the Ge-oxygen defect ce…
Formation, Detection and Trapping of Photoassociated Ultracold KRb Molecules
2005
Ultracold ground-state KRb molecules are formed by photoassociation and detected by resonant two-photon ionization. We have assigned both the photoassociation spectrum and the detection laser spectrum, and we have demonstrated magnetic trapping of triplet KRb
Spin dependence of low energy charge exchange between H 2 + and Na
1987
The difference in charge exchange rate in collisions between spin oriented sodium atoms and H 2 + ions has been measured at an energy of about 1 eV. H 2 + was stored in a Penning trap and polarized by spin exchange with Na beam atoms from a hexapole magnet. The ion loss from the trap due to charge exchange was different as we depolarized the atomic beam. From the data we obtain a ratio of cross sections for singlet and triplet collisionsQ 1/Q 3=1.5±0.2 andQ 3=1.2·10−15 cm2.
Luminescence of a self-trapped exciton in GeO2 crystal
1993
Abstract The self-trapped exciton (STE) is discovered in the GeO2 crystal. A PL band at 2.5 eV with a strong Stokes shift is excited only in the fundamental absorption range of GeO2 crystal with the quantum yield about 0.4 and the decay time constant 800 ± 5 μs at 80 K. The PL thermal quenching occurs at 200 K with the energy about 0.25 eV and the frequency factor 107. At 4.5 K the PL decay kinetics splits into two components with time constants 270 μs and 8000 μs, which can be due to a triplet state split in the zero magnetic field. The STE in GeO2 is very similar to a STE in SiO2.
Magneto-structural correlations in low dimensional ferrimagnetic systems
1991
The bimetallic compounds of the EDTA family provides a large diversity of ferrimagnetic model systems in which the dimensionality as well as the exchange-anisotropy can be controlled with ease. This paper deals with the magneto-structural chemistry of this family.
Modeling the magnetic properties and Mössbauer spectra of multifunctional magnetic materials obtained by insertion of a spin-crossover Fe(III) comple…
2013
In this article, we present a theoretical microscopic approach to describe the magnetic and spectroscopic behavior of multifunctional hybrid materials which demonstrate spin crossover and ferromagnetic ordering. The low-spin to high-spin transition is considered as a cooperative phenomenon that is driven by the interaction of the electronic shells of the Fe ions with the full symmetric deformation of the local surrounding that is extended over the crystal lattice via the acoustic phonon field. The proposed model is applied to the analysis of the series [Fe(III)(sal2-trien)] [Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)3]·solv, in short 1·solv, where solv = CH2Cl2, CH2Br2, and CHBr3.
Lattice gas models for multilayer adsorption: variation of phase diagrams with the strength of the substrate potential
1990
Abstract The simple cubic lattice gas model with nearest-neighbor attractive interaction is considered for the case where the potential V ( z ), that an adatom at a distance z from the surface experiences due to the substrate, is V ( z ) = − A / z 3 . Exact ground state phase diagrams are obtained for different A , while the behavior at nonzero temperatures is studied both by Monte Carlo simulations and the molecular field approximation. We show that the detailed sequence of the layering transitions in the first few layers depends very strongly on the strength of the substrate potential: for strong potentials individual first-order layering transitions in layers 1, 2, 3, …, while for interm…
Liquid Crystalline Orientation of Semiconducting Nanorods in a Semiconducting Matrix
2008
This paper describes the synthesis of narrowly distributed block copolymers consisting of a hole conducting triarylamine block and an anchor block via RAFT polymerization. The anchor block is thereby introduced via a reactive ester approach. Block copolymers with dopamine anchor groups bind to oxidic semiconductors like TiO 2 , SnO 2 , and ZnO. Thus, it becomes possible to cover inorganic electron conducting (acceptor) nanomaterials with a corona of an organic hole conducting (donor) polymer like poly(triphenylamine), giving new hybrid materials. The poly(triphenylamine) grafted to inorganic nanorods allows the preparation of stable nanorod dispersions in appropriate solvents. At higher con…
