Gezieltes Design von Edelmetall-Polycarbonat-Grenzflächen durch Einbetten von metallischen Nanopartikeln

Im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit wurde die Adhäsionssteigerung durch Auslagerung von Polycarbonat-Edelmetallfilmverbunden weiter aufgeklärt und nachgewiesen, dass eine Adhäsionssteigerung auch unterhalb der Volumenglasübergangstemperatur von Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonat möglich ist. Durch Getterung thermisch eingebetteter Goldnanopartikel gelang die Verankerung aufgedampfter Goldfilme (Nanonailing) in Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonatfilmen. Bei Untersuchung der Einbettbedingungen gelang die Aufklärung der Einbettmorphologie durch den Vergleich von experimentellen Daten aus der Röntgenphotoelektronenspektroskopie mit den Ergebnissen von Modellrechnungen. Alternativ zur thermischen Einbettung wurde die Dispersion von Goldnanopartikeln in Polycarbonat durch lösungsmitteldampfinduzierte Kristallisation geprüft und ein Dispersionsmodell entwickelt, das auf der Betrachtung der thermodynamischen Vorzugspositionen der Goldnanopartikel in den amorphen Bereichen im Gegensatz zu den kristallisierten Bereichen beruht

Influence de la retaille de la vigne après une gelée sur le comportement agronomique du cépage ‘Jaen’

Dans un essai installé pour étudier l’adaptation de trois porte-greffes - 99R, 1103P et SO4 - a un terroir typique de la région du Dão - Portugal - l’incidence d’une sévère gelée, un mois après le débourrement, à détruit presque toute la végétation. Avec l´objectif de connaître la réponse a une retaille, fait au niveau du premier noeud, 15 jours après la gelée, on a subdivisé l’essai de façon a permettre la comparaison avec un témoin non retaillé. Après l’accident, beaucoup de bourgeons, latents jusque-lá, ont débourré. Sur les pousses affectées par la gelée on a vérifié une croissance des anticipés, qui ont été plus nombreuses dans le témoin. Le rapide développement de la nouvelle végétation a permis l´obtention d’un plan de feuillage bien rempli a mi-Juin. Les rendements ont été très bas (1.9 a 2.7 t/ha) et les grappillons ont contribué avec un grand pourcentage (40 a 47 %). La maturation a été plus tardive toutefois les moûts obtenus ont atteint une qualité acceptable (194 g de sucre/l). En général l’effet du porte-greffe n’a pas été significatif, hors le nombre de grappes significativement supérieur obtenu sur le SO4 et le plus élevé pH du moût obtenu sur le 1103 P. La retaille a induit un rendement significativement plus elevé en résultat d’un plus grand nombre de grappillons. Au niveau de la qualité, seulement l´acidité total du môut a présenté une valeur plus élevée dans les souches retaillées. Dans le témoin on a obtenu un nombre de sarments supérieur mais avec un poids unitaire inférieur. Toutefois l’augmentation du poids par sarment dans les souches retaillées n’a pas été suffisant pour compenser l’inférieur nombre des sarments et, conséquemment, la retaille a donné un poids de bois de taille significativement plus bas. Les donnés montrent que la retaille a été une pratique très important surtout par son effet sur la réduction du nombre de sarments. L’augmentation de la vigueur unitaire des sarments a permis une fertilité plus élevée des entre-coeurs et, probablement, a favorisé l´initiation floral des bourgeons latents, responsables pour la production de l’année suivante. Un autre avantage de la retaille c’est la plus grande facilité de la taille d’hiverinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Desenvolvimento de "Tinta" com Pó de Cortiça com desempenho acústico optimizado

Apresenta-se neste trabalho a análise e desenvolvimento de um novo produto (tinta com a incorporação de pó de cortiça) com um desempenho acústico optimizado. Realizaram-se ensaios em câmara reverberante de forma a analisar a variação nos valores do coeficiente de absorção sonora de tintas, já existentes, com a adição de diferentes quantidades de pó de cortiça e efectuou-se a comparação destes resultados com uma tinta acústica já comercializada em Portugal. Os ensaios foram realizados sobre duas bases diferentes (madeira e metal) e analisados os resultados com diferentes percentagens de adição de pó em massa, assim como com diferentes espessuras.This paper presents the analysis and development of a new product (paint), with the incorporation of powdered cork, to optimize its acoustic performance. Tests were performed in a reverberation room to analyze the variation on the sound absorption coefficient of an existing paint with the introduction of different amounts of powdered cork and also to compare these results with a titled "acoustic paint already available in the market. The tests were performed on two different base supports (wood and metal) and analyzed with different percentages of added powdered cork and with different thicknesses

A case of thallium intoxication by walking in a field

Thallium intoxications are a rare occurrence in forensic sciences. This paper reports a case of chronic thallium poisoning in a couple hospitalized in Milan, Italy, in which toxicological analyses were performed by the Institute of Legal Medicine of Milan on the request of the Judicial Authority. Preliminary analyses confirmed the presence of thallium in the blood and urine samples of the couple. After positive results were obtained from the biological samples, the Judicial Authority learned that the son of the couple used thallium powder illegally in his field and that the father helped his son in that field almost every day. Therefore, the Judicial Authority suspected that the man had accidentally contaminated the house environment, thus intoxicating his wife. Consequently, they requested the seizing of multiple items from their residency to verify this hypothesis. Each object was sampled internally (content or internal surface) and externally (surface of the container) and the concentrations of thallium were evaluated using ICP-MS analyses. Positive results of items indicate a thallium contamination caused by an external vector. Indeed, they suggest that none of the elements analyzed was the contaminant responsible for the intoxication but the examination of the soles of the man's shoes argued in favor of an external contamination (the son's field), suggesting that he was the accidental mean of transportation of the heavy metal into the house. This paper presents a rare case of chronic thallium intoxication in a domestic setting where contamination occurred from an illegal usage of thallium in a field

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Acute Pediatric Respiratory Failure

This article is made available for unrestricted research re-use and secondary analysis in any form or by any means with acknowledgement of the original source. These permissions are granted for the duration of the World Health Organization (WHO) declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic.The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to support children with acute respiratory failure has steadily increased over the past several decades, with major advancements having been made in the care of these children. There are, however, many controversies regarding indications for initiating ECMO in this setting and the appropriate management strategies thereafter. Broad indications for ECMO include hypoxia, hypercarbia, and severe air leak syndrome, with hypoxia being the most common. There are many disease-specific considerations when evaluating children for ECMO, but there are currently very few, if any, absolute contraindications. Venovenous rather than veno-arterial ECMO cannulation is the preferred configuration for ECMO support of acute respiratory failure due to its superior side-effect profile. The approach to lung management on ECMO is variable and should be individualized to the patient, with the main goal of reducing the risk of VILI. ECMO is a relatively rare intervention, and there are likely a minimum number of cases per year at a given center to maintain competency. Patients who have prolonged ECMO runs (i.e., greater than 21 days) are less likely to survive, though no absolute duration of ECMO that would mandate withdrawal of ECMO support can be currently recommended

Tunicados e quetognatas, as suas respostas aos fatores ambientais de um sistema costeiro da Península Ibérica

Nowadays, the evidences relating the impacts of climate change in gelatinous zooplankton communities are recurrent, and it must be considered due to their key role in marine pelagic food webs. This study aims to investigate the latent influence of the environmental variability on interannual abundance changes of two less-talked gelatinous zooplankton groups, which were Tunicata and Chaetognatha in the Mondego estuary (Portugal), over the period 2003-2012. In this study was possible to find a correlation between environmental factors and species abundance exhibiting marked interannual variability, particularly, after drought years. In addition, higher abundances were found in the mouth and middle stations, close to the entrance of the estuary. Our results also showed several resemblances with the upshots reported in the Indian Ocean and/or in California (USA), that contributed to complement the baseline data, carrying important information about these holoplanktonic groups and the way that environmental factors affects their variability in the Mondego estuary.Hoje em dia, os estudos que relacionam os impactos das alterações climáticas com as comunidades de zooplâncton gelatinoso são recorrentes, e não devem ser ignoradas devido ao seu papel fundamental nas cadeias alimentares pelágicas dos ecossistemas marinhos. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a influência latente da variabilidade ambiental sobre as alterações na abundância interanual de dois grupos menos estudados de zooplâncton gelatinoso, tunicados e quetognatas, no estuário do Mondego (Portugal) durante o período de 2003-2012. Neste estudo, foi possível encontrar uma correlação entre os fatores ambientais e a abundância das espécies, mostrando uma variabilidade interanual acentuada, particularmente após os anos de seca. Os organismos apresentaram maior abundância nas estações da embocadura e intermédias, perto da entrada do estuário. Os nossos resultados também mostraram várias semelhanças com os resultados relatados no Oceano Índico e/ou na Califórnia (EUA), contribuindo assim para complementar os dados já existentes, trazendo informações importantes sobre estes grupos holoplanctónicos e como os fatores ambientais afetam a sua variabilidade no estuário do Mondego.Mestrado em Biologia Marinh
