A chirality-induced alpha phase and a novel molecular magnetic metal in the BEDT-TTF/tris(croconate)ferrate(iii) hybrid molecular system
2006
The novel paramagnetic and chiral anion [Fe(C5O5)3]32 has been combined with the organic donor BEDT-TTF (= ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) to yield the first chirality- induced α phase and a paramagnetic metal.

The Blaumanis Moment: National Literature Enters the Stage of Art
2012
My aim in this article is to discuss the literary field in Latvia slightly before 1900. More specifically, I want to focus on the particular situation when literature written in the Latvian language ceases to be a product of didactic intention and moralizing value, and makes the crucial step in recognizing its rights to submerge into primarily aesthetic issues. It is also the moment when the personality of the author cuts through the still mostly realistic surface of literary works, making him (or her) be perceived as unmistakably present, even if this move often remains unnoticed by most contemporary and even later observers.1 The author who in my article represents this departure, which u…
Bivalve mollusks shells valorisation and recycling: market potentiality and novel building products
2023
Construction is a fundamental driver of the world economy, recognized as a sector that generates a great contribution to the social and economic development. At the same time, it shows an enormous environmental impact through an unstoppable consumption of non-renewable resources, a high energy consumption, and an associated atmospheric emission of pollutant. Consequently, the research and development of novel and green production processes and sustainable building materials is of paramount importance. The sustainability of materials and production processes could be improved by enhancing and reusing wastes from various industrial sectors. In this paper, the fishery sector will be analysed, …
Motion analysis using the novelty filter
1991
Abstract An original approach to the motion analysis, based on the novelty filter, is proposed. The novelty filter stresses the novelties occurring in a pattern representing an image of the scene under consideration with respect to patterns representing previous images of the same scene, so that visual information about the motion of the objects is obtained. The novelty filter may be implemented by a neural network architecture, taking advantage of the capabilities of massive parallelism, adaptive learning and noise robustness. The novelty filter may learn the entire trajectory of an object, through an incremental learning of a sequence of images capturing the scene, thus emphasizing if the…
Narratives of satisfying and unsatisfying experiences of current mobile augmented reality applications
2012
Over the last few years, mobile applications demonstrating Augmented Reality (AR) - such as Layar, Junaio and Google Goggles - have been introduced to consumers. We conducted an online survey to explore the user experience (UX) of early stage mobile AR applications available in the market in spring 2011, covering both location-based AR browsers and image recognition AR applications for object-based interaction. We identify various types of experiences such applications have evoked by qualitatively analyzing 84 users' narratives of their most satisfying and unsatisfying experiences. The results highlight, for example, experiences of awareness of surroundings, empowerment, positive surprise, …

The representation of work in the French narration since the Thirty Glorious Years
2017
There has been a resurgence of interest in the theme of work, since the end of the Thirty Glorious Years. Initially centered on a few emblematic works, there has emerged in subsequent years, multifaceted forms of expression that do not lend themselves easily to unifying categorisation. However, a specific literariness has emerged on this theme that reflects an originality that is unique within the realm of literary production. Whilst all writers hesitate about the best means to narrate human activities, those who write about work face particular difficulties in defining their position and status. The notion of fiction itself is challenged as it shifts between the domain of the real and the …
Articular la nación. La María de Ayguals de Izco y la nacionalización española (1845-1850)
2017
Los estudios más recientes sobre el nacionalismo subrayan el carácter narrativo de las identidades nacionales y la necesidad de cuestionar los modelos teóricos elitistas de construcción nacional. En el texto parto de estas propuestas y del concepto de "articulación" de Michael Kennedy y Ronald Suny para estudiar la interacción que se produce María, la hija de un jornalero (1845-1846) de Wenceslao Ayguals de Izco. Estudio la nacionalización que lleva a cabo Ayguals de determinados lenguajes (honor, amor, religión) que eran fácilmente reconocibles por sus lectores. Posteriormente analizo las estrategias narrativas que utiliza y que pudieron contribuir a que la novela fuera leída nacionalmente…
Muiža Sāras Votersas romānos “Krāpniece” un “Mazais svešinieks”
2016
Šis bakalaura darbs ir veltīts novelēm Mazais Svešinieks (2009) un Krāpniece (2002), kuru autore ir britu rakstniece Sāra Votersa un lauku māju nozīmju interpretāciju. Abas noveles tika starptautiski atzītas. Darba galvenais mērķis ir aplūkot lauku mājas simbola nozīmi un salīdzināt, kas ir kopīgs un atšķirīgs abās novelēs. Pētījumā izmantotas tādas metodes kā teorija par stāstījumu, teorija par Viktorijas un Neo-Viktorijas laikmetu un Gotikas literatūra, teksta analīze un teksta interpretācija par abām novelēm. Šī pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka lauku māju apraksts, kuru izveidoja Sāra Voters novelēs Mazais Svešinieks un Krāpniece palīdz lasītājam labāk saprast varoņus un galvenās noveļu i…
Individual baseline behavioral traits predict the resilience phenotype after chronic social defeat
2021
Abstract Chronic social defeat (CSD) has been widely used as a psychosocial stress model in mice, with the magnitude of CSD-induced social avoidance as the major behavioral hallmark of the resilient and susceptible groups. Despite significant progress in the study of the neurobiology of resilient and susceptible mice, the nature and ethological relevance of CSD-induced social avoidance and social approach, particularly measured using a CD1 mouse, needs conceptual clarification. Based on the findings of a recent study revealing substantial individuality in genetically homogeneous inbred mice, we investigated whether certain baseline individual characteristics of male C57BL/6J mice predict th…
