DNA-based applications in molecular electronics
2011
This thesis is mainly focused on DNA molecules and especially on self-assembled DNA constructs and their potential applications in nanotechnology and molecular electronics. In the field of molecular electronics the conductivity of DNA is a crucial - yet open - question, and it is of great concern, since DNA is a very promising molecule in a context of bottom-up based nanodevices due to its superior selfassembly characteristics. A key tool in all the experiments presented in this thesis is a dielectrophoretic trapping technique, which was exploited in spatial manipulation of individualDNA molecules, DNA constructs and also semiconducting quantum dots. In the case of DNA, the technique provid…

Structure of equilibrium states on self-affine sets and strict monotonicity of affinity dimension
2016
A fundamental problem in the dimension theory of self‐affine sets is the construction of high‐dimensional measures which yield sharp lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of the set. A natural strategy for the construction of such high‐dimensional measures is to investigate measures of maximal Lyapunov dimension; these measures can be alternatively interpreted as equilibrium states of the singular value function introduced by Falconer. While the existence of these equilibrium states has been well known for some years their structure has remained elusive, particularly in dimensions higher than two. In this article we give a complete description of the equilibrium states of the singular va…

Emotions in second language learning as seen in autobiographical narratives written by university students : a discursive study
2016
Tunteet ovat osa jokapäiväistä elämäämme, niin hyvässä, kuin pahassakin, ja ne voivat olla ihmisiä eteenpäin vievä tai toisaalta lamaannuttava voima. Tunteet rakentuvat sosiaalisessa kanssakäymisessä, mutta yksilökohtaiset kokemukset tunteiden merkityksestä ja voimakkuudesta ovat avain niiden ymmärtämiseen. Tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa tunteet on usein jätetty huomiotta, sillä niiden on perinteisesti koettu olevan joko liian haastavia tai liian merkityksettömiä tutkittavaksi. 1990-luvulta lähtien tunteiden merkitystä on kuitenkin alettu arvostaa enenevässä määrin ja yhä suurempi määrä tutkijoita on huomioinut tunteet tutkimuksissaan. Myös kielitieteissä tunteiden tärkeä rooli on alettu ymmä…
Introduction: Social Media Discourse, (Dis)Identifications and Diversities
2017
The focus in this volume is on social media discourse, (dis)identifications and diversities. It demonstrates how particular ways of mobilizing verbal, discursive and other semiotic resources serve as means for identity work (Bucholtz, 2003; Blommaert, 2003), involving acts, processes and practices of (dis)identification as essential aspects of sociality in social media. It will also illustrate how such social action also increasingly engages with a range of diversities in social media. peerReviewed
A Noxious Weed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Ragweed) as Sustainable Feedstock for Methane Production and Metals Immobilization
2023
Plants of the Ambrosia genus are invasive and cause many ecological problems, including the oppression of the growth of agricultural crops and native plants, land depletion, and the production of strong allergens. The use of weeds as a sustainable feedstock for biogas production, either methane or hydrogen, is a promising way to fulfill the energy needs of the current generation, eliminate the depletion of non-renewable carbon resources, and preserve the ecosystem degradation caused by invasive species impacts. A diversified microbial community was used as inoculum and Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. biomass as a substrate for anaerobic degradation and methane production. In this regard, the dev…
Conceptual Metaphors and Social Action. Divine Sex as Political-Economic and Gender Paradigm in Ancient Mesopotamia
2023
Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyse, through a gender and anthropological perspective, the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it become, over the millennia, paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexual…
Modelli interoperabili per Cultural Heritage Recording. Le cupole a torrini di Sicilia e Castiglia.
La ricerca indaga l’origine e l’evoluzione di uno specifico modello di cupola su tamburo a pianta circolare o poligonale, con contrafforti cilindrici sull’asse dei piloni della crociera. Sei casi studio in Spagna e in Sicilia sono stati studiati attraverso il riesame delle fonti storiche e sono state analizzate le matrici geometriche sottese al progetto; i casi studio ancora esistenti sono stati rilevati con metodi laser scanning e fotogrammetrici. I modelli tridimensionali sono stati utilizzati per una verifica del contributo statico offerto dai torrini alla stabilità delle strutture. The research work is focused on the origin and the modifications of a peculiar dome on tambour having a ci…
Données territoriales en ESS : entre usages et co-construction
2016
International audience; De nombreux outils de diffusions de données territoriales existent. Chaque jour, de nouveaux indicateurs de plus en plus fins sont développés et mis à disposition du public comme des décideurs locaux. Ces données et indicateurs sont diffusés via différents portails internet dont l’appropriation par les acteurs est à ce jour difficilement quantifiée ni qualifiée. Une étude conjointe entre le Commissariat Général à l’Égalité des Territoires (www.cget.gouv.fr) et le laboratoire CIMEOS – MSH de Dijon, de l’Univ. de Bourgogne Franche-Comté a été lancée en 2016 afin de comprendre en évaluant l’évolution des nouveaux modes de communications entre les différents acteurs du t…
