    La presente investigación busca evidenciar la afectación directa al honor y buena reputación de los detenidos al ser expuestos en rueda de prensa sin estos haber tenido una sentencia firme, siendo afectados de manera social y personal, de esta manera el honor y la buena reputación de la persona están considerados y relacionados negativamente. Se utilizo la metodología de enfoque cualitativo, de tipo básica, y con un diseño de teoría fundamentada, aplicando los instrumentos de guía de entrevista a expertos y guía de análisis documental, teniendo como resultado principal que efectivamente existe una gran relación del derecho al honor y buena reputación de los detenidos, por ende, si se estaría afectado negativamente estos derechos en todos sus extremos, siendo los involucrados expuestos en situaciones vergonzosas y perjudiciales para cualquier persona. Concluyendo que, toda persona se encuentre en la situación que este, debe ser considerado y estimado, puesto que goza de los mismos derechos que cualquier otra persona, esto implica ser respetado, sin manchar su honor y buena reputación, hasta que exista un dictamen donde se evidencie la culpabilidad de la persona

    Alternative techniques for beam halo measurements

    In future high intensity, high energy accelerators it must be ensured that particle losses are minimized, as activation of the vacuum chambers or other components makes maintenance and upgrade work time consuming and costly. It is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead to halo formation and to have the possibility to test available theoretical models with an adequate experimental setup. Measurements based on optical transition radiation (OTR) are a well-established technique for measurements of the transverse beam profile. However, in order to be suitable for halo measurements as well, the dynamic range of the final image acquisition system needs to be high, being able to cover at least five orders of magnitude in intensity changes. Here, the performance of a standard acquisition system as it is used in the CLIC test facility (CTF3) is compared to a step-by-step measurement with a small movable photo multiplier tube and an innovative camera system based on charge injection device (CID) technology. Special emphasis is given on a description of the characteristics of the latter system

    In future high intensity, high energy accelerators, beam loss has to be minimized to maximize performance and reduce activation of accelerator components. It is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead to halo formation and to have the possibility to test available theoretical models with an adequate experimental setup. Measurements based on optical transition radiation (OTR) provide an interesting opportunity for high resolution measurements of the transverse beam profile. In order to be applicable for measurements within the beam halo region, it is of utmost importance that a high dynamic range is covered by the image acquisition system. The existing camera system as it is installed in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) is compared to a step-by-step measurement with a photo multiplier tube (PMT) and measurements with a cooled charge injection device (CID) camera. The latter acquisition technique provides an innovative and highly flexible approach to high dynamic range measurements and is presented in some detail

    Model catalysts synthesized by the di-block copolymer inverse micelle method: insights on nanoparticle formation and network stability within the environmental TEM

    MICROSCOPIE+MEME+FCA:EEH:LBU:TEPInternational audienceThe di-block copolymer inverse micelle method, where an amphiphilic di-block copolymer dissolved in toluene creates a system of inverse micelles, is a rather simple method to obtain well controlled supported metallic nanoparticles once the micelle core is charged with metallic salts. Supported metallic catalysts can be obtained in this way on both flat (model catalysts) and powder (realistic catalysts) supports [1]. Our main interest deals with applications of bimetallic catalyst systems that we investigate from extended catalytic surfaces [2] to realistic catalysts [3]; the idea being to isolate and understand the role of important physico-chemical parameters on the catalytic behaviour of these systems in the shape of model catalytic surfaces and try to extrapolate them to realistic catalysts. This is very important for the controlled design of catalysts with specific properties. In this way we can, not only spend less active material (often rare and expensive), but also avoid unnecessary poisoning while keeping high activity (stability) and finely tune the selectivity to avoid deleterious unwanted products; these are important points to be able to achieve environmentally friendly and sustainable catalytic processes. Self-organized nanoparticles on flat surfaces is an intermediate configuration between extended catalytic surfaces and realistic catalysts and a necessary step to better extrapolate results between model and realistic systems. We have thus extended the di-block copolymer method to the synthesis of bimetallic catalysts [4]. In our presentation we will deal with a PdAu system, obtained from a PS-b-P2VP copolymer micellar solution that we transfer by spin-coating to a surface of a SiNx eletron-transparent films on dedicated microchips than are heated in Wildfire sample holder (DENS Solutions) within an objective lens aberration-corrected environmental TEM (Titan ETEM G2 80-300 kV from ThermoFisher Scientific) so that we can study in situ the behaviour of such a system in variable temperature and gas pressure. We observed the formation of the individual particles from the seeds within the core of the micelles in the presence of oxygen in variable temperature; sintering of the seeds within the micelle cores starts at 350°C and is completed at 500°C, temperatures that correspond, respectively, to the onset of the copolymer decomposition and to its quasi-completed decomposition [5]. We also observed that the network of nanoparticles is stable under oxygen up to 900°C and that, above this temperature, the network is modified only by the decomposition of the nanoparticles (when we approach their melting point).The authors acknowledge the French Microscopy and Atom probe network (METSA) and the Consortium Lyon – St-Etienne de Microscopie (CLYM) for supporting this work.References:[1] B.

    Tunable Plasmonic Microcapsules with Embedded Noble Metal Nanoparticles for Optical Microsensing

    Get PDF
    We report a comprehensive investigation of the synthetic conditions leading to the formation of tunable plasmonic microcapsules (MCs) made of a hydrophobic liquid core encapsulated into a hard silica shell embedding plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (NPs). The distinctive and remarkable features of the prepared MCs are the inert nanometer-thin silica shell and the small plasmonic NPs embedded in it, which confer interesting optical absorbance properties. We tie the mechanical robustness of the MCs to the thickness of their silica shell. We show that several oils can be used for the synthesis of MCs and we evidence how the relative solubility of the silica precursor and the polarity of the oil phase influence the final MC characteristics. We also evidence the synthesis of “monoflavor” or “multiflavor” MCs with, respectively, a single type of NPs or a mixture of metallic NPs, respectively, embedded in the silica shell. Using experiments and simulations, we demonstrate that the optical response of the MCs can be finely tuned by choosing the right ratio between Ag and Au NPs initially suspended in the solution. Our heterogeneous hybrid MCs exhibit optical properties directly resulting from the choice of NP composition and shell thickness, making them of great interest not only for mechanical and chemical microsensing but also for applications in photothermal therapy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy studies, microreactor vesicles for interfacial electrocatalysis, antimicrobial activity, and drug delivery. Our simple and versatile emulsion template method holds great promise for the tailored design of a generation of multifunctional MCs consisting of modular nanoscale building blocks

    Resolution in Solving Graph Problems

    International audienceResolution is a proof-search method for proving unsatisfia-bility problems. Various refinements have been proposed to improve the efficiency of this method. However, when we try to prove some graph properties, it seems that none of the refinements have an efficiency comparable with traditional graph traversal algorithms. In this paper we propose a way of encoding some graph problems as resolution. We define a selection function and a new subsumption rule to avoid redundancies while solving such problems

    Brain-predicted age difference mediates the association between PROMIS sleep impairment, and self-reported pain measure in persons with knee pain

    Get PDF
    Knee pain, the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain (MSK), constitutes a severe public health burden. Its neurobiological causes, however, remain poorly understood. Among many possible causes, it has been proposed that sleep problems could lead to an increase in chronic pain symptomatology, which may be driven by central nervous system changes. In fact, we previously found that brain cortical thickness mediated the relationship between sleep qualities and pain severity in older adults with MSK. We also demonstrated a significant difference in a machine-learning-derived brain-aging biomarker between participants with low-and high-impact knee pain. Considering this, we examined whether brain aging was associated with self-reported sleep and pain measures, and whether brain aging mediated the relationship between sleep problems and knee pain. Exploratory Spearman and Pearson partial correlations, controlling for age, sex, race and study site, showed a significant association of brain aging with sleep related impairment and self-reported pain measures. Moreover, mediation analysis showed that brain aging significantly mediated the effect of sleep related impairment on clinical pain and physical symptoms. Our findings extend our prior work demonstrating advanced brain aging among individuals with chronic pain and the mediating role of brain-aging on the association between sleep and pain severity. Future longitudinal studies are needed to further understand whether the brain can be a therapeutic target to reverse the possible effect of sleep problems on chronic pain

    This experiment studied the effect of transportation duration of 1-d-old chicks on dehydration, mortality, production performance, and pododermatitis during the growout period. Eggs from the same breeder flock (Ross PM3) were collected at 35, 45, and 56 wk of age, for 3 successive identical experiments. In each experiment, newly hatched chicks received 1 of 3 transportation duration treatments from the hatchery before placement in the on-site rearing facility: no transportation corresponding to direct placement in less than 5 min (T00), or 4 (T04) or 10 h (T10) of transportation. The chicks were housed in 35-m2 pens (650 birds each) and reared until 35 d old. Hematocrit and chick BW were measured on sample chicks before and after transportation. During the growout period, bird weight, feed uptake, and feed conversion ratio were measured weekly until slaughter. Transportation duration affected BW; T00 groups had a significantly higher BW than T04 and T10 transported birds but this effect lasted only until d 21. No clear effect on hematocrit, feed uptake, feed conversion ratio, or mortality was observed for birds transported up to 10 h. The decrease in weight in T10 birds was associated with less severe pododermatitis. Increasing age of the breeder flock was correlated with reduced egg fertility and hatchability, and also with higher quality and BW of hatched chicks. Chicks from older breeders also exhibited reduced mortality during the growout period
