The performances of oscillating differential scanning calorimetry (ODSC) and laser-flash technique in determining the thermal conductivity and the specific heat of zirconia-based materials, analogous to a potential nuclear fuel, were compared. The tested m ...
This work contains a theoretical analysis of the optical properties of semiconductor quantum wells embedded in planar Fabry-Perot microcavities. In particular, the properties of the system in correspondence to the excitonic transition are studied by means ...
First experiments at the Vanderbilt free electron lasers measured the local reflectivity of a PtSi/Si system. The reflectivity in the scanning near-field optical microscope images revealed features that were not present in the corresponding shear-force (to ...
The aim of this work was to investigate the degradation of the anti-adhesive properties of protective PTFE films during the hot embossing of thermoplasts, and to identify possible failure causes which reduce the lifetime of these films. A comparative XPS s ...
The present paper presents an overview of the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 159-ETC on the engineering of the interfacial transition zone in cementitious composites. The object of this committee was to resolve the practical influences of the interf ...
We study the plasmon resonances for small two-dimensional silver particles (nanowires) with elliptical or triangular shapes in the 20 nm size range. While the elliptical particle has only two resonances, a well known fact, we demonstrate that the triangula ...

The properties of V-shaped optical dielectric waveguides are investigated in detail using a vectorial finite element method. The fundamental modes exhibit extremely tight, heart shaped near field patterns. The maximum intensity of the fundamental mode is f ...
Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is used as a fluorescence marker and photosensitizing agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT). A temporary increase of PpIX in tissues can be obtained by administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Lipophilicity is one of the key pa ...
While extensive work has been carried out with the goal of validating the TINA architecture and the TINA documents, little has been done yet for the validation of TINA services. This is the main focus of the ErnesTINA project. In the ErnesTINA project, we ...
