Light absorption in 1D and 2D nanostructured organic semiconductors

Organic photovoltaics will be one of the corner stones in solving the increasing world's energy demand issue. For this reason, a better understanding of the detailed mechanisms involved in energy conversion in the employed nanostructured materials is still ...

Atmospheric new particle formation as a source of CCN in the eastern Mediterranean marine boundary layer

Athanasios Nenes

While cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) production associated with atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is thought to be frequent throughout the continental boundary layers, few studies on this phenomenon in marine air exist. Here, based on simultaneous ...

Solvent Effects on the Encapsulation of Divalent Ions by Benzo-18-Crown-6 and Benzo-15-Crown-5

Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We measure UV photodissociation (UVPD) spectra of cold benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) and benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) complexes with divalent ions (M2+ = Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and Mn2+), solvated with an H2O or a CH3OH molecule: M2+·B15C5·H2O, M2+·B15C5·CH3OH, M2+·B18C ...

Ion Trap with Narrow Aperture Detection Electrodes for Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry

Yury Tsybin, Anton Kozhinov, Konstantin Nagornov

The current paradigm in ion trap (cell) design for Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) is the ion detection with wide aperture detection electrodes. Specifically, excitation and detection electrodes are typically 90A deg ...

Effect of temperature on the microstructure of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Xiuwei Zhang, Emmanuel Gallucci

Temperature affects the properties of concrete through its effect on the hydration of cement and its associated microstructural development. This paper focuses on the modifications to C-S-H induced by isothermal curing between 5 and 60 degrees C. The resul ...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) presentation as a tool to modulate and control the receptor-mediated uptake of HA-coated nanoparticles

Jutta Christine Wandrey, Shima Karimi, Nicola Tirelli

The natural turnover of free hyaluronic acid (HA) is predominantly based on its CD44-mediated internalisation in leukocytes. In a phagocytic cell model (RAW 264.7 murine macrophages) we here provide conclusive evidence that this receptor-mediated mechanism ...

Asymmetric facial expressions: revealing richer emotions for embodied conversational agents

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn

In this paper, we propose a method to achieve effective facial emotional expressivity for embodied conversational agents by considering two types of asymmetry when exploiting the Valence-Arousal-Dominance representation of emotions. Indeed, the asymmetry o ...

Quasiuniversal Connectedness Percolation of Polydisperse Rod Systems

Peter Ryser, Claudio Grimaldi, Biagio Nigro

The connectedness percolation threshold (eta(c)) and critical coordination number (Z(c)) of systems of penetrable spherocylinders characterized by a length polydispersity are studied by way of Monte Carlo simulations for several aspect ratio distributions. ...
