Nanocrystallite α-cordierite glass-ceramics are synthesized using a modified Pechini method. The structural and lattice modes of the products are investigated via XRD and Micro Raman back-scattering spectroscopy. The Debye-Scherrer formula is used to confirm the grain sizes estimated by the SEM slides. Dielectric coefficients calculation and DTA analysis are used to study the synthesized nanocr...

Background: Comedogenicity is an important consideration in development of topical products, such as cosmetics. An animal test using rabbit ear has long been served as a model for prediction of comedogenicity of topical products, but correlation to the human skin remained controversial. Isopropyl myristate and cocoa butter which are used as positive controls in animal test, also used in human c...

The Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB) is a crucial component of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) sounding suite and a valuable contribution from Brazil to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Aqua mission. Its design and functionality are practically identical to that of the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B—proven on the latest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra...

Even if the industrial exploitation of the DLV system has started very recently, DLV already has a history of applications on the industrial level. The most valuable applications from a commercial viewpoint are those in the area of Knowledge Management. They have been realized by the company EXEURA s.r.l. a spin-off company of the University of Calabria having a branch also in Chicago with the ...

in this work the synthesization process of nanocrstallite nd:ktp powders by modified pechini methodwas studied. the results of xrd studies indicate that ktp nanocrystallites doped by nd has orthorhombicphase. the structural and lattice modes of the synthesized nanocrystallite products were investigated byusing micro raman back scattering and ft-ir transmission spectroscopies. sem imaging techni...

We briefly discuss four different possible types of transitions from quark to hadronic matter and their characteristic signatures in terms of correlations. We also highlight the effects arising from mass modification of hadrons in hot and dense hadronic matter, as well as their quantum statistical consequences: the appearance of squeezed quantum states and the associated experimental signatures...
