The prominent thermal quenching (TQ) effect of organic-inorganic metal halides limits their applications for lighting and imaging. Herein, we report an organo-metal halide scintillator (TTPhP)2MnCl4(TTPhP+= tetraphenylphosphonium cation), which exhibits a weak TQ effect up to 200 °C under ultraviolet-visible light (efficiency loss of 5.5%) and X-ray radiation (efficiency loss of 37%). The light yi
We consider relations between Rényi's and Hentschel - Procaccia's definitions of generalized dimensions of a probability measure μ, and give conditions under which the two concepts are equivalent/different. Estimators of the dimension spectrum are developed, and strong consistency is established. Particular cases of our estimators are methods based on the sample correlation integral and box counti
We present an existence and stability theory for gravity–capillary solitary waves on the top surface of and interface between two perfect fluids of different densities, the lower one being of infinite depth. Exploiting a classical variational principle, we prove the existence of a minimiser of the wave energy E subject to the constraint I= 2 μ, where I is the wave momentum and 0 < μ< μ, where μ is
Thermal properties of pure tungsten, irradiated in the Swiss neutron spallation source at the Paul Scherrer Institut, have been studied in the temperature range 25–500 °C. Disk-shaped specimens were prepared from a tungsten sheet which was irradiated with high energy protons and spallation neutrons. The specimens tested in this work received total damages of maximum 3.9 and 5.8 dpa at average irra
Assistive Technologies offer the possibility to develop services aimed at improving the Quality of Life of patients and caregivers. Specifically, this work refers to the case of persons with dementia who can live in their homes but need to be assisted. This paper describes a monitoring kit that provides alarms to the caregiver in case of dangerous situations or unusual events detected by the senso
Most of the present scientific efforts and technical developments within water supply, water treatment technology, environmental protection and restoration methods are still devoted to technology designed by, and applicable in rich, developed countries. These technologies emerged in a long process of development during the last century, mainly in European countries and in North America. During thi
A level crossing predictor is a predictor process $Y(t)$, possibly multivariate, which can be used to predict whether a specified process $X(t)$ will cross a predetermined level or not. A natural criterion on how good a predictor is, can be the probability that a crossing is detected a sufficient time ahead, and the number of times the predictor makes a false alarm. If $X$ is Gaussian and the proc
Short-term outcome and side effects after Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) are well recognized. However, there is a lack of knowledge of the long-term outcome and side effects after this surgery. This study was completed to investigate the outcome and side effects 20 years after UPPP for snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea.
Correlations between two high-pT hadrons provide information on how partons lose energy as they travel through the dense plasma formed at RHIC. To vary the path length partons travel, we measure the back-to-back jets in the AA collision of centrality and reaction-plane dependence, in addition to '2+1' particle correlations, and compare with p+p results.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi går mot ett mer och mer energikrävande samhälle. För att klara ett ökande behov av energi med de begränsande naturresurser som finns på jorden, har ett forskningsprojekt, som denna avhandling är en del av, som mål att utveckla artificiell fotosyntes. Den naturliga fotosyntesen använder sig av solljus för att omvandla koldioxid och vatten till energirika produkter såsThe work in thesis aims for artificial photosyntesis, which could and will mimic natural photosynthesis, the process that uses light to create energy rich compounds from H2O and CO2. Water is oxidized in Photosystem II (PSII) by the Water Oxidizing Complex (WOC), which is a catalytic site on the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane. The chlorophyll complex P680 absorbs light and electrons are tr
Complement evasion by various mechanisms is important for microbial virulence and survival in the host. One strategy used by some pathogenic bacteria is to bind the complement inhibitor of the classical pathway, C4b-binding protein (C4BP). In this study, we have identified a novel interaction between nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and C4BP, whereas the majority of the typeable H. influe
The high-spin yrast states in Lu-161 are calculated in a Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach keeping track of configurations and their evolution with spin. The outcome from calculations neglecting pairing and including pairing are compared. It is predicted that several yrast region configurations terminate at a very favored energy around I = 50 and that one of the observed bands is two transitions
