Use of dialkyldithiocarbamato complexes of bismuth(III) for the preparation of nano- and microsized Bi2S3 particles and the X-ray crystal structures of [Bi{S2CN(CH3)(C6H13)}(3)] and [Bi{S2CN(CH3)(C6H13)}(3)(C12H8N2)]
A range of bismuth(III) dithiocarbamato complexes were prepared and characterized. The
X-ray crystal structures of the compounds [Bi{S2CN(CH3)(C6H13)}3] (1) and [Bi{S2CN(CH3)-
(C6H13)}3(C12H8N2)] (2) are reported. The preparation of Bi2S3 particulates using a wet
chemical method and involving the thermalysis of Bi(III) dialkyldithiocarbamato complexes
is described. The influence of several experimental parameters on the optical and
morphological properties of the Bi2S3 powders was investigated. Nanosized Bi2S3 colloids
were obtained having long-term stability and showing a blue shift on the optical band edge;
the presence of particles exhibiting quantum size effects is discussed. Morphological welldefined Bi2S3 particles were obtained in which the fiber-type morphology is prevalent.FCT - POCTI/1999/CTM/ 3545

Representações sociais e expressão tipográfica : criação de logótipos para empresas de calçado
O presente artigo tem como foco a relação entre
representações sociais e expressão tipográfica na construção de marcas
compostas apenas por logotipo. Seu objetivo norteador é conhecer os
processos simbólicos que ocorrem na interação do público com as marcas,
a fim de, a partir da análise de logotipos, do ponto de vista do leitor,
identificar as conotações legíveis nas características formais da tipografia
que os compõe, e então criar efetivamente uma marca para empresa de
calçados que tem como público-alvo as classes B e C.ABSTRACT: This Article focuses on the relationship between the social
representations and the typographic expression in building brands
without symbol. The guiding objective is to know the symbolic process
that occurs on the public interaction with the brands in order to create a
footwear brand whose audience -target are classes B and C. For it, logos
will be analyzed, from the point of view of the reader, to identify the
legible connotation in the formal characteristics of the typography that
compose brands.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Dynamic critical behaviour in Ising spin glasses
The critical dynamics of Ising spin glasses with Bimodal, Gaussian, and
Laplacian interaction distributions are studied numerically in dimensions 3 and
4. The data demonstrate that in both dimensions the critical dynamic exponent
, the non-equilibrium autocorrelation decay exponent
, and the critical fluctuation-dissipation ratio
all vary strongly and systematically with the form of the
interaction distribution.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Spin and Charge Josephson effects between non-uniform superconductors with coexisting helimagnetic order
We consider the spin and charge Josephson current between two non-uniform
Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconductors with helimagnetic order. We
demonstrate that the presence of the helimagnetic phase generates a spin
Josephson effect and leads to additional contributions to both single-particle
and Josephson charge current. It is shown that for such systems the AC effect
differs more radically from the DC effect than in the case of a BCS
superconductor with helimagnetic order considered earlier in the literature [M.
L. Kuli\'c and I. M. Kuli\'c, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 63}, 104503 (2001)] where a
spin Josephson current has also been found. In our system the most interesting
effect occurs in the presence of an external magnetic field and in absence of
voltage, where we show that the charge Josephson current can be tuned to zero
while the spin Josephson current is non-vanishing. This provides a well
controlled mechanism to generate a spin supercurrent in absence of charge
currents.Comment: final versio
About Photo-damage Of Human Hair
This paper reviews the current knowledge about human hair photodamage and the photodegradation mechanisms proposed in the literature. It is shown that there are still a number of questions without answer regarding this issue. For example, a better understanding of the hair structural changes caused by different radiation wavelengths is still lacking. We also find controversies about the effects of sun exposure on different hair types. Explanations to these questions are frequently sustained on the amount and type of melanin of each hair, but factors such as the absence of knowledge of melanin structure and of established methodologies to use in human hair studies make it difficult to reach a general agreement on these issues. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and Owner Societies 2006.52165169Hoting, E., Zimmermann, M., Hocker, H., Photochemical alterations on human hair.
