Effetto dell’invecchiamento idrotermico sulle proprietà termiche e meccaniche di resine epossidiche strutturali

2018

Le resine termoindurenti, utilizzate come matrici per materiali compositi rinforzati con fibre di carbonio, sono caratterizzate da un elevato grado di densità di reticolazione che conferisce loro una elevata fragilità e che allo stesso tempo le espone a significativi effetti di invecchiamento idrotermico durante il loro utilizzo [1]. In particolare si assiste alla diminuzione della temperatura di transizione vetrosa, per effetto di fenomeni di plasticizzazione e degradazione, e alla diminuzione di modulo elastico a flessione. Recentemente gli autori hanno proposto un metodo, Photoelastic Stress Analysis (PSA), molto efficace per monitorare le modifiche del materiale, in termini di swelling …

MgO Magnetic Tunnel Junction Electrical Current Sensor With Integrated Ru Thermal Sensor

2013

Full Wheatstone bridge electrical current sensor incorporating 114 MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction elements (3 × 30 μm2) connected in series was produced for improved electrical robustness. To that end, magnetic tunnel junctions with R × A ~7 KΩ μm2 tunneling magnetoresistance of 200%, were produced. The sensor was designed with an integrated Ru thin film resistive thermal detector (RTD) for temperature drift monitoring and compensation. In order to achieve a full bridge signal, a U-shaped copper trace was placed under a printed circuit board (PCB) specifically designed for this type of device. The resulting device exhibit sensitivities of 63.9 V/Oe/A in a 75 Oe linear range biased with …

Design of a narrow-band filter based on the Brewster phenomenon for microwave applications

2017

A high-efficiency narrow-band filter based on a Dielectric Frequency-Selective Surface (DFSS) has been predicted theoretically for oblique plane-wave incidence. A DFSS showing total reflection at a frequency of 10.5 GHz, based on the Brewster phenomenon for TM polarization, has been designed with a single dielectric grating, showing extremely low-reflectance sidebands adjacent to the resonance peak. The angular and spectral response of the designed filter has been studied. In addition, dielectric ohmic losses have been accounted for in this structure. This work was supported by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) and by the Unión Europea through the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Region…

Importance of endophytic strains Pantoea agglomerans in the biological control of Rhizoctonia solani

2018

Antagonistic activity of microorganisms against phytopathogens is mainly the results of plants’ health improvement due to the inhibition of pathogens growth and the induction of plants resistance against diseases. The aim of the research was to determine antagonistic properties of Pantoea agglomerans against Rhizoctonia solani. The properties of two strains P. agglomerans BC17 and BC45 were assessed according to the following criteria: mycelial growth of R. solani in the presence of bacterial metabolites, an impact of P. agglomerans on the growth of sugar beet in the pots containing soil with and addition of R. solani and without it, the ability to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). It has…

Method Effects and Gender Invariance of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale: A Study on Adolescents

2015

AbstractRosenberg's self-esteem scale has been extensively used in all areas of psychology to assess global self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1965, 1979). Its construct validity, and specifically its factor structure, has almost from the beginning been under debate. More than four decades after its creation the cumulated evidence points that the scale measures a single trait (self-esteem) but confounded by a method factor associated to negatively worded items. The aim of the study is to examine the measurement invariance of the RSES by gender and test potential gender differences at the latent (trait and method) variable level, while controlling for method effects, in a sample of Spanish students. A …

Low energy routing platforms for optical interconnects using active plasmonics integrated with Silicon Photonics

2013

Power consumption and bandwidth of electronics appear as the main set of technology barriers in next-generation Data Center and High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments. The limited capacity and pitch lane of electrically wired interconnects require the development of new disruptive technologies to cope with the massive amount of data moving across all hierarchical communication levels, namely rack-to-rack, backplane, chip-to-chip and even on-chip interconnections. Plasmonics comes indeed as a disruptive technology that enables seamless interoperability between light beams and electronic control signals through the underlying metallic layer, providing thereby an inherent energy-efficie…

Highly textured boron/nitrogen co-doped TiO2 with honeycomb structure showing enhanced visible-light photoelectrocatalytic activity

2020

International audience; In this work, we report a novel photocatalyst based on boron and nitrogen co-doped TiO2 rutile (1 1 0) honeycomb structures. The photocatalyst has been prepared by simultaneously oxidizing and doping a Ti-foil substrate at 750 degrees C. The unit cell volume and the crystallite size of grown TiO2 films were measured by Rietveld refinement analysis. The co-doping by boron and nitrogen was achieved simultaneously with the oxidation of the titanium, resulting in a rutile (1 1 0) textured TiO2 film. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of Ti-O-N and Ti-O-B-N bonds, and the presence of crystal defects in the lattice was detected and displayed by…

Distribución, abundancia y papel epidemiológico de los Simuliidae del río Serpis

2014

Los Simuliidae (Diptera, Nematocera) constituyen uno de los grupos de insectos de gran notoriedad en Salud Pública no sólo por su molesta mordedura sino, sobre todo, por los efectos que este acto puede originar y que van desde las simples reacciones alérgicas a dermatitis severas y enfermedades graves, como la oncocercosis, que anualmente afecta a millares de seres humanos. Este hecho hace necesario abordar planes de control contra las especies nocivas del grupo y para ello es necesario un conocimiento previo y preciso de la distribución de las especies, su biología y etología. Solo de este modo se pueden abordar planes de acción dirigidos específicamente al control de las poblaciones trans…
