Symmetric vs. asymmetric squaraines as photosensitisers in mesoscopic injection solar cells: a structure-property relationship study
Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Davide Di Censo, Guido Viscardi
A symmetric squaraine and its related non-symmetric structure are shown to have comparable efficiencies in DSCs, but with undoubtedly advantages in the low cost and casiness of synthesis for the symmetrical structure. ...
2012New Technologies for Nanobiosensing and their Applications to Real-Time Monitoring
Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Cristina Boero
Amperometric biosensors are complex systems and they require a combination of technologies for their development. The aim of the present work is to exploit existing technologies for new purposes in order to develop nanostructured biosensors for the real-ti ...
2011Thermally activated deformation of two- and three-variant nanotwinned L10 Au–Cu–Pt
Andreas Mortensen, Frédéric Diologent, Alexandre Durussel, Edwina Klay
Activation volumes characteristic of room temperature compressive plastic deformation in Au- 45.2 at.% Cu- 1.7 at.% Pt, a near-AuCu alloy that orders to a fully L1(0) structure, are measured using the repeated stress-relaxation method. Four different order ...
Elsevier2011An Agent Operationalization Approach for Context Specific Agent-Based Modeling
The potential of agent-based modeling (ABM) has been demonstrated in various research fields. However, three major concerns limit the full exploitation of ABM; (i) agents are too simple and behave unrealistically without any empirical basis, (ii) 'proof of ...
University of Surrey, Department of Sociology2011Social and Territorial Impacts of Armed Conflict Induced Displacement and Livelihoods of IDPs in Nepal
It is estimated that the Maoist conflict has created 250,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nepal. The livelihood questions of these IDPs are crucial to the state. However, knowledge on the livelihoods of these IDPs has mostly been derived from sho ...
Kathmandu University, Nepal2010Dynamics and control of diseases in networks with community structure
The dynamics of infectious diseases spread via direct person-to-person transmission (such as influenza, smallpox, HIV/AIDS, etc.) depends on the underlying host contact network. Human contact networks exhibit strong community structure. Understanding how s ...
Public Library of Science2010Interhemispheric motor networks are abnormal in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
Brain imaging has shown altered corpus callosum (CC) morphology in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS). Yet it is unclear whether these morphological changes are associated with altered interhemispheric interactions. Here, we combined transc ...
Wiley-Blackwell2010Microstructure and Mechanical Behaviour of Ordered Au-Cu-Pt Alloys
This thesis investigates nine new compositions of the ternary Au-Cu-Pt system, containing from 75 to 78 wt% Au with 0 to 15 wt% Pt, by means of in-situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron micros ...
EPFL2010Novel gamma-secretase inhibitors uncover a common nucleotide-binding site in JAK3, SIRT2, and PS1
Patrick Fraering, Nikita Rudinskiy, Claude André Schweizer
Gamma-secretase is an intramembrane-cleaving protease responsible for the final proteolytic event in the production of the amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta) implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of gamma-secretase activity is thus an attractive th ...
2010Electric Field Directed Self-Assembly of Cuprous Oxide Nanostructures for Photon Sensing
We demonstrate a novel chemical-free water-based technique to synthesize various forms of cuprous oxide nanostructures at room temperature. The self-assemblies of these nanostructures are formed by the anodic oxidation of Cu in deionized (DI) water. Direct ...
