A noise analyzer for monitoring static electrification current
2005
Abstract This paper presents a static electrification current signal analyzer used for measuring and processing of the variable component of the changes in electrostatic charge that occur on a solid-body/liquid boundary interface. Due to high sensitivity and low uncertainty, the analyzer allows a precise evaluation of the phenomenon generated. The device operates in a spinning-disk system. The tests carried out indicate that it is possible to measure random components which depend, to a large extent, on hydrodynamic conditions and on the properties of the liquid phase. The device can be applied to the testing of transformer oils. It can be also used for measurements of other liquids having …
Effect of a common exercise programme with an individualised progression criterion based on the measurement of neuromuscular capacity versus current …
2021
IntroductionHigh-load resistance training has shown positive effects in pain and function in lower limb tendinopathies. However, some authors suggest that current exercise programmes produce an increase in tolerance to load and exercise in general but without fixing some existing issues in tendinopathy. This may indicate the need to include training aspects not currently taken into account in the current programmes. The main objective of this study will be to compare the effect of a common exercise protocol for the three predominant lower limb tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar and gluteal), based on an individualised control of the dose and training of specific aspects of the neuromuscular…
Thermodynamic limit of particle-hole form factors in the massless XXZ Heisenberg chain
2010
We study the thermodynamic limit of the particle-hole form factors of the XXZ Heisenberg chain in the massless regime. We show that, in this limit, such form factors decrease as an explicitly computed power-law in the system-size. Moreover, the corresponding amplitudes can be obtained as a product of a "smooth" and a "discrete" part: the former depends continuously on the rapidities of the particles and holes, whereas the latter has an additional explicit dependence on the set of integer numbers that label each excited state in the associated logarithmic Bethe equations. We also show that special form factors corresponding to zero-energy excitations lying on the Fermi surface decrease as a …
Some results on the rotated infinitely deep potential and its coherent states
2021
The Swanson model is an exactly solvable model in quantum mechanics with a manifestly non self-adjoint Hamiltonian whose eigenvalues are all real. Its eigenvectors can be deduced easily, by means of suitable ladder operators. This is because the Swanson Hamiltonian is deeply connected with that of a standard quantum Harmonic oscillator, after a suitable rotation in configuration space is performed. In this paper we consider a rotated version of a different quantum system, the infinitely deep potential, and we consider some of the consequences of this rotation. In particular, we show that differences arise with respect to the Swanson model, mainly because of the technical need of working, he…
Morphological and molecular redescription of the myxozoanUnicapsula pflugfelderiSchubert, Sprague & Reinboth 1975 from two teleost hosts in the M…
2009
Elongate plasmodia with myxosporean spores belonging to the genus Unicapsula, Davis, 1924 were found in the skeletal muscle of the striped seabream, Lithognathus mormyrus (L.), a candidate for the mediterranean aquaculture. The only species of Unicapsula described from the Mediterranean is Unicapsula pflugfelderi Schubert et al. 1975, which occurs in the picarel, Spicara smaris (L.). For morphological and molecular comparison of U. pflugfelderi from S. smaris with Unicapsula sp. from L. mormyrus measurements of plasmodia and spores, ultrastructural details and 18S and 28S rDNA sequences were analysed. Whereas plasmodia were 2-3 times larger in S. smaris than in L. mormyrus (length 2.47-0.81…
Background questionnaires of PISA : a study of the assessment indicators
2016
El sistema de evaluación de PISA ha generado y continúa generando intensos debates sobre su estructura y utilidad. Este artículo se centra en los cuestionarios de contexto, como forma de analizar y entender de manera adecuada los resultados. Los objetivos son analizar los indicadores de contexto que se utilizan en las distintas ediciones de las pruebas PISA, su utilización en distintos estudios y en los resultados de estos estudios. Se proporciona una visión general del modelo utilizado para conseguir que estos indicadores dejen de ser algo que acompaña a las prueba de rendimiento para que alcancen su verdadero sentido: analizar conjuntamente el rendimiento junto con las variables que…
Permeability properties of a three-cell type in vitro model of blood-brain barrier.
2005
We previously found that RBE4.B brain capillary endothelial cells (BCECs) form a layer with blood‐brain barrier (BBB) properties if co‐cultured with neurons for at least one week. As astrocytes are known to modulate BBB functions, we further set a culture system that included RBE4.B BCECs, neurons and astrocytes. In order to test formation of BBB, we measured the amount of (3)H‐sucrose able to cross the BCEC layer in this three‐cell type model of BBB. Herein we report that both neurons and astrocytes induce a decrease in the permeability of the BCEC layer to sucrose. These effects are synergic as if BCECs are cultured with both neurons and astrocytes for 5 days, permeability to sucrose decr…
Plan d’action suffragiste en faveur de la cause féminine: femmes rédactrices, catalyseurs des réformes sociales et politiques dans l’Angleterre victo…
2019
National audience; La suppression du droit de timbre en 1855 et des taxes sur le papier en 1861, en Angleterre, favorise la création de plusieurs organes de presse dont le magazine féministe The Englishwoman’s Journal (1858-1864). Sa stratégie éditoriale consiste à promouvoir les analyses critiques des journalistes de sexe féminin contre les politiques conservatrices anglaises concernant la condition féminine. Les co-fondatrices du groupe de Langham Place, Barbara Leigh Smith (1827-1891) et Bessie Rayner Parkes (1829-1925), donnent la parole à la communauté féminine qui n’a de véritable possibilité d’expression et de communication que l’écriture. Se dégageant de toute restriction d’expressi…
Surface homeomorphisms with zero dimensional singular set
1998
We prove that if f is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of a closed orientable surface M whose singular set is totally disconnected, then f is topologically conjugate to a conformal transformation.
Ethical challenges involved in obtaining consent for research from patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit
2017
International audience; Clinical research remains a vital contributor to medical knowledge, and is an established and integral part of the practice of medicine worldwide. Respect for patient autonomy and ethical principles dictate that informed consent must be obtained from subjects before they can be enrolled into clinical research, yet these conditions may be difficult to apply in real practice in the intensive care unit (ICU). A number of factors serve to complexify the consent process in critically ill patients, notably decisional incapacity of the patient due to illness or sedation. Obtaining consent for research from a designated proxy or family member, commonly termed a "surrogate de…
