Femtosecond Spectroscopy of Au Hot-Electron Injection into TiO2: Evidence for Au/TiO(2 )Plasmon Photocatalysis by Bactericidal Au Ions and Related Phenomena

In the present work, we provide evidence for visible light irradiation of the Au/TiO2 nanoparticles' surface plasmon resonance band (SPR) leading to electron injection from the Au nanoparticles to the conduction band of TiO2. The Au/TiO2 SPR band is shown ...

Factors underlying visual illusions are illusion-specific but not feature-specific

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Gregory Francis, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

Common factors are ubiquitous. For example, there is a common factor, g, for intelligence. In vision, there is much weaker evidence for such common factors. For example, visual illusion magnitudes correlate only weakly with each other. Here, we investigate ...

Schwann cells ER-associated degradation contributes to myelin maintenance in adult nerves and limits demyelination in CMT1B mice

Maurizio Molinari, Francesca Bianchi

In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelinating Schwann cells synthesize large amounts of myelin protein zero (P0) glycoprotein, an abundant component of peripheral nerve myelin. In humans, mutations in P0 cause the demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1B ...

Observation of methane filled hexagonal ice stable up to 150 GPa

Philippe Gillet, Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri

Gas hydrates consist of hydrogen-bonded water frameworks enclosing guest gas molecules and have been the focus of intense research for almost 40 y, both for their fundamental role in the understanding of hydrophobic interactions and for gas storage and ene ...

Global eigenvalue distribution of matrices defined by the skew-shift

Marius Christopher Lemm

We consider large Hermitian matrices whose entries are defined by evaluating the exponential function along orbits of the skew-shift

\binom{j}{2} \omega+jy+x \mod 1

for irrational

\omega

. We prove that the eigenvalue distribution of these matrices conv ...

Search for B-0 -> X(3872)gamma

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Donghyun Kim

We report the results of a search for the decay B-0 -> X(3872) (-> J/psi pi(+)pi(-))gamma. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb(-1) and containing 772 x 10(6)B (B) over bar pairs, collected with the ...

Determining the Optimal Phase-Change Material via High-Throughput Calculations

Amina Matt

The discovery and optimization of phase-change and shape memory alloys remain a tedious and expensive process. Here a simple computational method is proposed to determine the ideal phase- change material for a given alloy composed of three elements. Using ...

Beyond R&D: the role of embodied technological change in affecting employment

Gabriele Pellegrino

In this work, we test the employment impact of distinct types of innovative investments using a representative sample of Spanish manufacturing firms over the period 2002-2013. Our GMM-SYS estimates generate various results, which are partially in contrast ...

Observation of Xi(1620)(0) and Evidence for Xi(1690)(0) in Xi(+)(c) -> Xi(-) pi(+) pi(+) Decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

We report the first observation of the double strange baryon Xi(1620)(0) in its decay to Xi(-) pi(+) via Xi(+)(c) -> Xi(-)pi(+)pi(+) decays based on a 980 fb(-1) data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetricenergy e(+)e(-) collider. ...

The Teaching Toolkit: design of a one-day pedagogical workshop for engineering graduate teaching assistants

Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Cécile Hardebolle

Through their role in labs, exercise/recitation sessions and tutorials, graduate or doctoral teaching assistants play a significant role in the education of engineering students. Yet doctoral assistants frequently get little pedagogical training, what trai ...
