Timoshenko vs Euler-Bernoulli beam: fractional visco-elastic behaviour
2013
The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is well established in such a way that engineers are very confident with the determination of stress field or def lections of the elastic beam based on this theory. Conversely Timoshenko theory is not so much used by engineers. However in such cases Euler-Bernoulli theory that n eglects the effect of transversal shear deformation leads to unacceptable results. For inst ance when dealing with the visco-elastic behaviour the shear deformations play a fundamental role. Recent studies [1]-[2] on the response evaluation of visco-elastic Euler-Bernoulli beam under quasi-static and dynamic loads, have been stressed that for better capturing the visco-elastic behavio…
Low-Temperature Atomic Layer Deposition of High-k SbOx for Thin Film Transistors
2022
SbOx thin films are deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using SbCl5 and Sb(NMe2)3 as antimony reactants and H2O and H2O2 as oxidizers at low temperatures. SbCl5 can react with both oxidizers, while no deposition is found to occur using Sb(NMe2)3 and H2O. For the first time, the reaction mechanism and dielectric properties of ALD-SbOx thin films are systematically studied, which exhibit a high breakdown field of ≈4 MV cm−1 and high areal capacitance ranging from 150 to 200 nF cm−2, corresponding to a dielectric constant ranging from 10 to 13. The ZnO semiconductor layer is integrated into a SbOx dielectric layer, and thin film transistors (TFTs) are successfully fabricated. A TFT with…
Cantalobos y Gallocanta
2018
Aunque el segmento Canta - signifique, desde luego, 'piedra' en algunos topónimos españoles, sin embargo, en otros, como los representados por el común tipo hispánico Cantalobos y Gallocanta , ese mismo elemento podría hacer referencia metonímicamente a lugares respectivamente expu estos al oeste y al este. Despite the fact that the element Canta - clearly means 'stone' in some Spanish place names, toponyms such as th ese represented by the common Spanish type Cantalobos and Gallocanta might metonymically point to places locat ed west ward and eastward, resp ectivel y.
Multimodal Perspective into Teachers’ Definitional Practices: Comparing Subject-Specific Language in Physics and History Lessons
2021
This chapter compares two teachers’ definitional practices in two Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) lessons, i.e. physics and history, which are taught in English in Finland. It adopts Dalton-Puffer’s (Eur J Appl Linguistics 1(2):216–253, 2013; Cognitive discourse functions: specifying an integrative interdisciplinary construct. In: Nikula T, Dafouz E, Moore P, Smit U (eds) Conceptualising integration in CLIL and multilingual education. Bristol: Multilingual Matters, pp. 29–54, 2016) theoretical construct of cognitive discourse functions (CDF) and showcases how it can be operationalized with empirical grounding. Multimodal conversation analysis (CA) is used to trace and observ…
AGRI-FOOD TRADE INTENSITY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SCENARIO
2013
In recent years, a political, economic, commercial, social and cultural dialogue get intensified among the Mediterranean countries. In particular, the establishment in 2008 of the Union for the Mediterranean, under the impulse of the French Presidency, represents the last act of the Euro-Mediterranean integration process, that binds more strongly the EU and Mediterranean countries, in particular those of the Southern and Eastern shores. The agriculture is an economic activity of great interest in the Mediterranean area due to the weight of employment and the contribution to the richness it brings to certain countries. In this work we analyze the intensity of agri-food trade among the EU Med…
Determinants of Italy's agri-food trade flows with the Mediterranean non-Eu partner countries
2013
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the determinants of Italy’s agri-food exports in the markets of Mediterranean non-EU partner countries and, particularly, the impact of Agreement Association signed in the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. The Mediterranean Sea situated at the crossroad of three continents, the European, the Asian and the African one, has ever been of great strategic interest for several geo-economical powers and in particular of the European Union as one of its foreign policy main protagonists. Italy as a centred Mediterranean country which is sharing agri-food production with some Mediterranean partners could profit from the EU’s relationships with the partners of …
Translating the Memory of the Holocaust: Thomas Geve’s Memoir
2020
espanolThis paper explores the most significant challenges of translating the memory of the Holocaust, focusing on the difficulties of transferring a survivor’s testimonial account to a different linguistic and cultural system. Because the concentration camp experience is inherently multicultural, and survivors have chosen to pen their ordeal in several languages, translation epitomizes a discipline that intertwines directly with the construction of universal collective memory. Consequently, translating Holocaust memoirs poses challenging questions on hermeneutics and deontology. Throughout the following pages, I will critically analyze my own Spanish rendition of Thomas Geve’s memoir, Guns…
An Investigation of the Robustness in the Travelling Salesman Problem Routes Using Special Structured Matrices
2020
In this study, the robustness of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) routes is investigated by recognising the special combinatorial structures of Kalmanson matrices. A recognition algorithm encompassing three procedures based on combinatorial and linear programming (LP) is developed and executed on several randomly generated instances. These procedures produce three lower bounds which provide guarantees on the optimality of the solutions. Computational experiments show that the proposed LP-based procedure performs efficiently well across all problem dimensions and provides the best lower bounds to the TSP. This is supported by an average deviation of less than 7% between the TSP tour len…
Studies on some antimony(III) complexes with tridentate schiff base ligands
1981
Abstract The antimony(III) complexes FSb(Sab), ClSb(Sab) and ClSb(Sat) containing dianonic, potentially tridentate Schiff-base ligands with ONO(Sab 2− ) and ONS(Sat 2− ) donor atoms have been prepared and characterized. The mass spectra of these derivatives are reported. The occurrence of chelation by the tridentate ligand is inferred from the infrared data. The antimony-121 Mossbauer parameters at 4.2 K are reported. The magnitudes and the positive sign of eQV zz suggest a consistent p-character of the antimony lone-pair orbital. Observed differencies in the isomer shift and eQV zz values are discussed on the basis of the likely distribution of electron density around antimony.
