Characterization of the Solid State Properties of Anodic Oxides on Magnetron Sputtered Ta, Nb and Ta-Nb Alloys
2012
Tantalum oxide, niobium oxide and Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides were grown by anodizing sputter-deposited Ta, Nb and Ta-Nb alloys of different compositions. A photoelectrochemical investigation was performed in order to estimate the band gap and the flat band potential of the oxides as a function of their composition. The band gap of the investigated Ta-Nb containing mixed oxides changed monotonically between those estimated for Ta2O5 (4.1 eV) and Nb2O5 (3.4 eV) and in agreement with a proposed correlation between the Band gap of an oxide and the difference of electronegativity of the oxide constituents. From the differential capacitance curves recorded in a wide range of electrode potentia…
The contribution of tear osmolarity measurement to ocular surface assessment in contact lens wearers
2012
Purpose: To determine whether tear osmolarity using the TearLabTM Osmolarity System contributes to the assessment of the ocular surface in contact lens (CL) wearers.Methods: Data were collected from 44 CL wearers (28 tolerant and 16 intolerant) and 34 healthy subjects. Every patient underwent a thorough ophthalmic examination and tear osmolarity test, conjunctival impression cytology and meibomian lipid sampling. Symptoms, break-up time (BUT), tear osmolarity, conjunctival expression of HLA-DR and meibomian fatty acid composition were evaluated.Results: Tear osmolarity was significantly higher in the controls compared to tolerant and intolerant CL wearers (p=0.0007). Flow cytometry results …

Las técnicas de reproducción asistida en la jurisprudencia y en el cine de los Óscar
2018
El paso del tiempo y los grandes avances técnicos han dado lugar a que se puedan tener hijos no solo de forma biológica o por adopción sino también mediante otras técnicas o tratamientos médicos que facilitan el embarazo cuando éste no se consigue de forma natural. Actualmente, los principales tratamientos de fertilidad son la inseminación artificial y la fecundación in vitro (FIV). En este artículo se abordan las técnicas de reproducción asistida desde dos puntos de vista: el fílmico, analizando algunas películas que han sido nominadas a los Óscar en época reciente; y el jurídico, viendo la regulación legal y algunas de las sentencias más relevantes existentes hasta la fecha sobre este tem…
Solid-state mechanochemical synthesis of multinary metal halide semiconductors for optoelectronics: From powder to thin film
2020
En la última década, las perovskitas de haluro de plomo, así como otros haluros de metales múltiples, incluidas las alternativas sin plomo, han demostrado ser materiales prometedores para su uso en optoelectrónica. Por lo tanto, se buscan activamente nuevas formas de producir semiconductores de alta pureza a gran escala. Por tanto, el objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es el desarrollo de perovskitas y semiconductores relacionados utilizando métodos sin disolventes. Además, con la perspectiva del uso de dichos materiales en optoelectrónica a escala industrial, el foco está puesto en trabajar con materiales benignos para el desarrollo de alternativas a las perovskitas tóxicas. La sínt…

Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Methods to Predict Growth of F. sporotrichioides and Production of T-2 and HT-2 Toxins in Treatments with Et…
2021
The efficacy of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer films (EVOH) incorporating the essential oil components cinnamaldehyde (CINHO), citral (CIT), isoeugenol (IEG), or linalool (LIN) to control growth rate (GR) and production of T-2 and HT-2 toxins by Fusarium sporotrichioides cultured on oat grains under different temperature (28, 20, and 15 °C) and water activity (aw) (0.99 and 0.96) regimes was assayed. GR in controls/treatments usually increased with increasing temperature, regardless of aw, but no significant differences concerning aw were found. Toxin production decreased with increasing temperature. The effectiveness of films to control fungal GR and toxin production was as follows: EVOH…

Study of the electronic and atomic structure of thermally treated SrTiO3(110) surfaces
2003
The electronic structure of heated SrTiO3(110) surfaces was investigated with metastable impact electron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (He(I). Scanning tunnelling microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to study the topology of the surface. The crystals were heated up to 1000 °C under reducing conditions in ultrahigh vacuum or under oxidizing conditions in synthetic air for 1 h, respectively. Under both conditions microfacetting of the surface is observed. The experimental results are compared with ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations, also presented here, carried out for both ideal and reconstructed SrTiO 3(110) surfaces. The results give direct evid…
Crystal structure of sinhalite MgAlBO4 under high pressure
2015
We report on high-pressure angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction data up to 27 GPa for natural MgAlBO4 sinhalite mineral and ab initio total energy calculations. The experimental bulk modulus of sinhalite is B-0 = 171(3) GPa with a first-pressure derivative of B-0' = 4.2(3). A comparison with other olivine-type compounds shows that the value for B0 is 27% larger than that of Mg2SiO4 forsterite and 29% smaller than that of Al2BeO4 chrysoberyl. These differences are interpreted, on the basis of our ab initio calculations, in terms of the relative incompressibility of Al-O bonds in AlO6 octahedra (with a calculated bulk modulus of 250(1) GPa) as compared to Mg-O bonds in MgO6 octahedra (with a ca…
