Poliolefiny i woski poliolefinowe. Cz. II. Energia aktywacji przepływu lepkiego

2020

Przedstawiono wyniki badań właściwości reologicznych wybranych gatunków polietylenów małej i dużej gęstości oraz otrzymanych z nich wosków. Na podstawie wyznaczonych dla nich zależności lepkości od temperatury wyznaczono energie aktywacji przepływu lepkiego tych polimerów. W celu wyjaśnienia zależności wyznaczonego parametru od właściwości tworzywa wykonano również analizy masy cząsteczkowej i dyspersyjności oraz struktury makrocząsteczek, głównie stopnia rozgałęzienia, zarówno polietylenów, jak i wosków. Uzyskane wyniki pozwoliły na ocenę właściwości przetwórczych wytypowanych tworzyw.

Underlying-event properties in pp and p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV

2023

We report about the properties of the underlying event measured with ALICE at the LHC in pp and p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV. The event activity, quantified by charged-particle number and summed-pT densities, is measured as a function of the leading-particle transverse momentum (ptrigT). These quantities are studied in three azimuthal-angle regions relative to the leading particle in the event: toward, away, and transverse. Results are presented for three different pT thresholds (0.15, 0.5 and 1 GeV/c) at mid-pseudorapidity (|η| 10 GeV/c, whereas for lower ptrigT values the event activity is slightly higher in p–Pb than in pp collisions. The measurements are compared with predictions …

Determinants of the interannual relationships between remote sensed photosynthetic activity and rainfall in tropical Africa

2007

International audience; The response of photosynthetic activity to interannual rainfall variations in Africa South of the Sahara is examined using 20 years (1981-2000) of Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) AVHRR data. Linear correlations and regressions were computed between annual NDVI and annual rainfall at a 0.5° latitude/longitude resolution, based on two gridded precipitation datasets (Climate Prediction Center Merged Analysis of Precipitation [CMAP] and Climatic Research Unit [CRU]). The spatial patterns were then examined to detect how they relate to the mean annual rainfall amounts, land-cover types as from the Global Land Cover 2000 data set, soil properties and soil typ…

FRP reinforcement for concrete structures: state-of-the-art review of application and design

2014

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are considered to be a promising alternative to steel reinforcement, especially in concrete structures subjected to an aggressive environment or to the effects of electromagnetic fields. Although attempts to develop effective reinforcement have been followed, the application of FRPs remains limited by the solution to simple structural problems that mainly appear due to the absence of design codes, significant variation in the material properties of FRP composites and limited knowledge gained by engineers as regards the application aspects of FRP composites and structural mechanics of concrete elements reinforced with FRPs. To fill the latter gap, the current…

HYPERBLEND: SIMULATING SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE AND TRANSMITTANCE OF LEAF TISSUE WITH BLENDER

2022

Abstract. Remotely sensing vegetation condition and health hazards requires modeling the connection of plants’ biophysical and biochemical parameters to their spectral response. Even though many models exist already, the field suffers from lack of access to program code. In this study, we will assess the feasibility of open-source 3D-modeling and rendering software Blender in simulating hyperspectral reflectance and transmittance of leaf tissue to serve as a base for a more advanced large-scale simulator. This is the first phase of a larger HyperBlend project, which will provide a fully open-source, canopy scale leaf optical properties model for simulating remotely sensed hyperspectral imag…

Synthesis, Electrochemistry, and Photophysics of Aza-BODIPY Porphyrin Dyes

2016

International audience; The synthesis of dyad and triad aza-BODIPY-porphyrin systems in two steps starting from an aryl-substituted aza-BODIPY chromophore is described. The properties of the resulting aza-BODIPY-porphyrin conjugates have been extensively investigated by means of electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and absorption/emission spectroscopy. Fluorescence measurements have revealed a dramatic loss of luminescence intensity, mainly due to competitive energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer involving charge separation followed by recombination.

A model for the prediction of the flow curves from interlayer distance and vice versa for intercalated polymer and polymer blend nanocomposites

2015

In this work was proposed a simple model to predict the viscosity and the power law index from the interlayer distance and, vice versa, the interlayer distance from a single flow curve for intercalated polymer nanocomposites. This model cannot be applied to exfoliated nanocomposites or when other interactions are present in the systems.

Towards a global view of dynamical systems, for the C1-topology.

2010

This paper suggests a program for getting a global view of the dynamics of diffeomorphisms, from the point of view of the C1-topology. More precisely, given any compact manifold M, one splits Diff1(M) in disjoint C1-open regions whose union is C1-dense, and conjectures state that these open set, and their complement, are characterized by the presence of • either a robust local phenomenon • or a global structure forbiding this local phenomenon. Other conjectures states that some of these regions are empty. This set of conjectures draws a global view of the dynamics, putting in evidence the coherence of the numerous recent results on C1-generic dynamics.

The Influence of Nanoparticle Shape on Protein Corona Formation

2020

Nanoparticles have become an important utility in many areas of medical treatment such as targeted drug and treatment delivery as well as imaging and diagnostics. These advances require a complete understanding of nanoparticles' fate once placed in the body. Upon exposure to blood, proteins adsorb onto the nanoparticles surface and form a protein corona, which determines the particles' biological fate. This study reports on the protein corona formation from blood serum and plasma on spherical and rod‐shaped nanoparticles. These two types of mesoporous silica nanoparticles have identical chemistry, porosity, surface potential, and size in the y ‐dimension, one being a sphere and the other a …
