A critical size for emergence of nonbulk electronic and geometric structures in dodecanethiolate-protected Au clusters.

2014

We report on how the transition from the bulk structure to the cluster-specific structure occurs in n-dodecanethiolate-protected gold clusters, Au(n)(SC12)m. To elucidate this transition, we isolated a series of Au(n)(SC12)m in the n range from 38 to ∼520, containing five newly identified or newly isolated clusters, Au104(SC12)45, Au(∼226)(SC12)(∼76), Au(∼253)(SC12)(∼90), Au(∼356)(SC12)(∼112), and Au(∼520)(SC12)(∼130), using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Low-temperature optical absorption spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Au cores of Au144(SC12)60 and smaller clusters have molecular-like elec…

Light vergence detection in monocular and monochromatic accommodation

2017

El ojo proyecta información desde el mundo tridimensional a la retina, la cual es una superficie bidimensional. Por este motivo, teóricamente sólo objetos que se encuentren en el plano conjugado a la retina pueden ser enfocados de forma correcta y, por tanto, objetos que se encuentren por delante o por detrás del plano conjugado, serán percibidos como imágenes borrosas. Por suerte, la acomodación ocular permite al ojo joven ver objetos situados a diferentes distancias de forma nítida. Este sistema de autoenfoque se consigue gracias al cambio de potencia dióptrica experimentado por el ojo como consecuencia del cambio en la morfología del cristalino. Debido a la alta frecuencia temporal de la…

Szkoła - w stronę wielozmysłowego i wielointeligentnego poznawania świata

2019

Artykuł dotyczy teorii inteligencji wielorakich a także kompetencji zawodowych współczesnego nauczyciela jest interdyscyplinarnym ujęciem zagadnienia z pogranicza - : psychologii, neurobiologii – a umiejscowionych kontekstach współczesnej pedagogiki. Teoria o istnieniu wielu niezależnych od siebie inteligencji Howarda Gardnera kwestionująca traktowanie inteligencji jako „jednolitej konstrukcji” jest bazą wyjściową do deliberacji nad osobniczymi predylekcjami sensorycznymi ucznia. Zdobyta wiedza takiej proweniencji pozwala nauczycielowi na bardziej kreatywną interakcje edukacją i wychowawczą z uczniem

Blaming the Light, Claiming the Night. Actors, Issues and Effects of Lighting Conflicts in France since the 1980's

2014

International audience; Regarding environmental issues, conflictuality is a privileged way to reach the political arena. "Naming, Blaming, Claiming": three steps that make the controversy emerge, constitute the public issue, then bring it to the politi- cal agenda. These three stages are clearly identifiable in the history of night protection associative movements. These movements emerged in the 1970's in the United States of America, quickly disseminated enjoying a broader context of environmental thinking. Conflicts related to artificial lighting are structurally akin to conflicts of contradictory uses of a single resource: the night. For some - the technicists -, the night is the "good-s…

An overview of the concepts of change and development - from the premodern to modern era

2012

This chapter focuses on the concepts of change and progress: on one hand, it approaches this topic from the point of view of the history of science; on the other hand, from the point of view of modern developmental psychology. The section on the history of science focuses on the historical period of the pre-modern Hellenistic era to the Enlightenment. This period is long, and it therefore includes several, different world views and cultural trends. In this chapter culturally significant trends of thought within the PtolemaicAristotelic tradition are described.The section on the modern developmental psychology approach analyses the following questions: (1) which characteristics must changes …

A Self-powered Ambient Light Power Measurement Platform with Time-domain Readout

2021

Internet of Things (IoT) provides more and more adequate infrastructures for many applications and advanced services. This scenario promotes the ability to satisfy the growing demand for innovative measuring systems, increasingly popular consisting of intelligent nodes, totally wireless, easy to install, and that requires the least possible maintenance. In this context, this paper aims to contribute to state of the art with an energy-autonomous and battery-free measurement platform designed to measure the ambient light power when its level exceeds the sensitivity threshold. The measurement platform utilizes a single transducer to scavenge energy and concurrently measure the ambient light in…

Stress Assessment of Vestibular Endurance Training for Civil Aviation Flight Students Based on EEG

2021

AbstractObjectiveThe main goal of our study is to clarify the EEG characteristics of the stress response caused by vestibular endurance training under the real conditions.MethodsTen pilot trainees received a series of acute anti-vertigo training stimulations on the rotary ladder while recording electroencephalographic data (64 electrodes). Afterwards, the subject’s anti-vertigo ability was tested for the best performance after 1 month of training, and verifying whether it is relating to the EEG signals we collected before.Results(1) The absolute power ofαwaves in the C3 and C4 regions is same as the difference between 1 min before and 2 min after stimulation, and their activity is enhanced …

Light-Activated Sensitive Probes for Amine Detection

2017

Our new, simple, and accurate colorimetric method is based on diarylethenes (DAEs) for the rapid detection of a wide range of primary and secondary amines. The probes consist of aldehyde- or ketone-substituted diarylethenes, which undergo an amine-induced decoloration reaction, selectively to give the ring-closed isomer. Thus, these probes can be activated at the desired moment by light irradiation, with a sensitivity that allows the detection of amines at concentrations as low as 10exp−6 M in solution. In addition, the practical immobilization of DAEs on paper makes it possible to detect biogenic amines, such as cadaverine, in the gas phase above a threshold of 12 ppbv within 30 seconds. P…

Qualitative screening of 116 veterinary drugs in feed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry: potential application to quantitati…

2014

Abstract Veterinarian and human pharmaceuticals may be intentionally added to animal feed to enhance animal production. Monitoring these substances is necessary for protecting the consumers. In this work, a screening method covering 116 human and veterinary drugs has been developed and validated in five types of animal feed at 0.02 and 0.2 mg kg−1. After a simple extraction and dilution, the samples were analysed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF MS). Nearly all compounds tested were detected at 0.02 mg kg−1, based on the presence of the accurate-mass (de)protonated molecule. However, the identification using a…
