First Example of Coexistence of Thermal Spin Transition and Liquid-Crystal Properties.
2001
The rodlike FeIII complex of an N-alkyloxysalicylidenyl-N'-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine ligand, shown as a computer model in the picture, is the first compound in which spin-crossover (SC) and liquid-crystalline (LC) properties coexist. This synergy should allow the magnetic and optical properties of SC compounds to be combined with the sensitivity of the LC state to electromagnetic fields.
Dielectric properties of pineapple as function of temperature and water content
2013
Microwave assisted processing is a new and growing field of interest for food industry (Tang et al., 2002; Schubert & Regier, 2005). Many advantages (fast treatments, selective heating and so on) are obtainable by microwave heating due to its peculiar energy transfer that derives from a direct interaction between electromagnetic field and matter (Metaxas & Meredith, 1983). As foods are poor heat conductors, endogenous heat generation allows to overcome some difficulties that characterise conventional heating methods based on convective/conductive heat transfer phenomena (Barba, 2005; Botha et al., 2012). The key-role in design, modelling and management of microwave assisted processes is pla…
Modelling of phase boundaries for large industrial FZ silicon crystal growth with the needle-eye technique
2003
In order to facilitate the numerical calculations of the phase boundaries in large industrial floating zone silicon crystal growth with the needle-eye technique, the chain of improved mathematical models is developed. The phase boundaries are solved in a partly transient way and the modelling improvements cover the open melting front, the inner triple point and the free melt surface. The view factors model is applied for the radiative heat transfer. The electromagnetic field is calculated with account of a multiple-slit inductor.
A weakly-interacting many-body system of Rydberg polaritons based on electromagnetically induced transparency
2020
We proposed utilizing a medium with a high optical depth (OD) and a Rydberg state of low principal quantum number, $n$, to create a weakly-interacting many-body system of Rydberg polaritons, based on the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We experimentally verified the mean field approach to weakly-interacting Rydberg polaritons, and observed the phase shift and attenuation induced by the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). The DDI-induced phase shift or attenuation can be viewed as a consequence of the elastic or inelastic collisions among the Rydberg polaritons. Using a weakly-interacting system, we further observed that a larger DDI strength caused a width of the mome…
Investigating the Response of Loop Plasma to Nanoflare Heating Using RADYN Simulations
2018
We present the results of 1D hydrodynamic simulations of coronal loops that are subject to nanoflares, caused by either in situ thermal heating or nonthermal electron (NTE) beams. The synthesized intensity and Doppler shifts can be directly compared with Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) observations of rapid variability in the transition region (TR) of coronal loops, associated with transient coronal heating. We find that NTEs with high enough low-energy cutoff (EC) deposit energy in the lower TR and chromosphere, causing blueshifts (up to approximately 20 kilometers per second) in the IRIS Si IV lines, which thermal conduction cannot repro…
High-Temperature Hall Measurements on BaSnO3Ceramics
2005
Simultaneous Hall and conductivity measurements were performed in situ between 650° and 1050°C on n-type semiconducting BaSnO3ceramics. The variation of the Hall mobility and the Hall carrier density as a function of oxygen partial pressure between 102 and 105 Pa and of temperature was investigated. At temperatures below 900°C the conductivity exhibits a dependence on temperature and oxygen partial pressure which is mainly determined by variations of the Hall mobility. Above 900°C most of the significant dependence is due to a variation in carrier density. Furthermore, a simple defect model assuming doubly ionized oxygen vacancies and acceptor impurities is discussed for BaSnO3.

Protein expression profiles in Bathymodiolus azoricus exposed to cadmium
2019
Proteomic changes in the "gill-bacteria complex" of the hydrothermal vent mussel B. azoricus exposed to cadmium in pressurized chambers ((Incubateurs Pressurises pour l'Observation en Culture d'Animaux Marins Profonds - IPOCAMP) were analyzed and compared with the non-exposed control group. 2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) showed that less than 1.5% of the proteome of mussels and symbiotic bacteria were affected by a short-term (24 h) Cd exposure. Twelve proteins of the more abundant differentially expressed proteins of which six were up-regulated and six were down-regulated were excised, digested and identified by mass spectrometry. The identified proteins included…
2-D difference gel electrophoresis approach to assess protein expression profiles in Bathymodiolus azoricus from Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vent…
2011
Hydrothermal vent mussels Bathymodiolus azoricus are naturally exposed to toxic chemical species originated directly from vent chimneys. The amount of toxic elements varies significantly among vent sites along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and B. azoricus must be able to adapt to changes in hydrothermal fluid composition, temperature and pressure. The aim of this work was to study changes in the proteome in the "gill-bacteria complex" of mussels B. azoricus from three hydrothermal vent sites with distinct environmental characteristics using 2-D Fluorescence Difference Gel Electrophoresis (2-D DIGE). Results showed that 31 proteins had different expression profiles among vent sites and both cluster…
