Dried and ground leaves of Crithmum maritimum were used as a matrix for supercritical extraction of volatile oil with CO2. Operative conditions were: extractor, 90 bar and 50 °C for 240 min; first separator, 90 bar and –10°C; second separator, 15 bar and 15 °C. GC/MS analysis of the leaves volatile oil revealed that it mainly consisted of: para-cymene, βphellandrene, γ-terpinene, thymol methyl ...

Short lived Ra isotopes have been produced at the TRIμP facility in inverse kinematics via the fusion-evaporation reaction Pb+C at 8 MeV/u. Isotopes are separated from other reaction products online using the TRIμP magnetic separator. The energetic radium (Ra) isotopes at the exit of the separator were converted into low energy ions with a thermal ionizer. Ra isotopes have been identified by ob...

In this note we develop some of the properties of separators of points in a multiprojective space. In particular, we prove multigraded analogs of results of Geramita, Maroscia, and Roberts relating the Hilbert function of X and X \ {P} via the degree of a separator, and Abrescia, Bazzotti, and Marino relating the degree of a separator to shifts in the minimal multigraded free resolution of the ...

We relate the search number of an undirected graph G with the minimum and maximum of the progressive pebble demands of the directed acyclic graphs obtained by orienting (7. Towards this end, we introduce node-searching, a slight variant of searching, in which an edge is cleared by placing searchers on both of its endpoints. We also show that the minimum number of searchers necessary to node-sea...

Let be a simple and connected graph. A k-vertex separator [k-edge separator] is a subset of vertices [edges] whose deletion separates the vertex [edge] set of into two parts of equal cardinality, that are at distance greater than k in . Here we investigate the relation between the cardinality of these cutsets and the laplacian spectrum of . As a consequence of the study, we obtain the well-know...

Latin squares can be classified as odd or even according to the signs of the permutations given by their rows and columns. In this paper, the behaviour of the parities of a latin square under the action of the isotopy group (permuting rows, columns, and symbols) and the transformation group (interchanging rows, columns, and symbols) is analyzed. A rule is given that shows that the behaviour of ...

BACKGROUND Today, most of pretreatments used to convert biomass into biofuels are based on expensive chemical processes that not only do not keep the major components intact after separation, but also consume water and generate many effluents. However, dry fractionation technologies are an important step for future biomass biorefineries since they do not require chemicals and do not generate wa...
