This study was idealized in order to understand the universe of colors in the visual arts and in our lives. The color itself is a mystery even today. Even it has already been explained by several scientists, theorists and experts in our lives, the color is too complex for our understanding and feelings. Every day we see real examples of how colors act in our bodies, in our brains, and our tastes, colors influence us at all. And through this work we can understand a little of the physiological side, and how the color was used in our daily life and the arts

The aim of the present study was to describe the tridimensional morphological characteristics of the lingual papillae and their connective tissue cores (CTCs) in Sprague Dawley rats. Four types of papillae were reported on the dorsal surface. Filiform papillae were distributed on the tongue surface and after epithelial maceration a conic and multifilamentary shape of the CTCs was revealed. Fungiform papillae were reported on the rostral and middle regions covered by a squamous epithelium. After the removal of the epithelium, the shape of a volcano with the taste orifice at its top was noted. Foliate papillae were composed of five pairs of epithelial folds situated on the lateral-caudal margin of the tongue. After the removal of the epithelium, they were shown to be limited by thin laminar projections. The vallate papilla with an oval shape was present in the caudal region and delimited by an incomplete groove. The morphological characteristics of the lingual papillae of Sprague Dowley rats, three-dimensional SEM images, and the types of papillae on the dorsal surface were similar to those reported previously in other rodent mammals. The maceration technique revealed the details of extracellular matrix with varied shapes form of connective tissue cores.

This paper describes the first results of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs) in sediment cores of Admiralty Bay, Antarctica. These markers were used to assess the local input of anthropogenic materials (particulate and organic compounds) as a result of the influence of human occupation in a sub-Antarctic region and a possible long-range atmospheric transport of combustion products from sources in South America. The highest SCPs and PAHs concentrations were observed during the last 30 years, when three research stations were built in the area and industrial activities in South America increased. The concentrations of SCPs and PAHs were much lower than those of other regions in the northern hemisphere and other reported data for the southern hemisphere. The PAH isomer ratios showed that the major sources of PAHs are fossil fuels/petroleum, biomass combustion and sewage contribution generally close to the Brazilian scientific station.

Sediment cores are an essential tool for the analysis of the dynamics of mangrove succession. Coring was used to correlate changes in depositional environments and lateral sedimentary facies with discrete stages of forest succession at the Cananeia-Iguape Coastal System in southeastern Brazil. A local level successional pattern was examined based on four core series T1) a sediment bank; T2) a smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora bank; T3) an active mangrove progradation fringe dominated by Laguncularia racemosa, and; T4) a mature mangrove forest dominated by Avicennia schaueriana. Cores were macroscopically described in terms of color, texture, sedimentary structure and organic components. The base of all cores exhibited a similar pattern suggesting common vertical progressive changes in depositional conditions and subsequent successional colonization pattern throughout the forest. The progradation zone is an exposed bank, colonized by S. alterniflora. L. racemosa, replaces S. alterniflora as progradation takes place. As the substrate consolidates A. schaueriana replaces L. racemosa and attains the greatest structural development in the mature forest. Cores collected within the A. schaueriana dominated stand contained S. alterniflora fragments near the base, confirming that a smooth cordgrass habitat characterized the establishment and early seral stages. Cores provide a reliable approach to describe local-level successional sequences in dynamic settings subject to drivers operating on multiple temporal and spatial scales where spatial heterogeneity can lead to multiple equilibria and where similar successional end-points may be reached through convergent paths.

In order to investigate the climate variability in the northern Antarctic Peninsula region, this paper focuses on the relationship between stable isotope content of precipitation and firn, and main meteorological variables (air temperature, relative humidity, sea surface temperature, and sea ice extent). Between 2008 and 2010, we collected precipitation samples and retrieved firn cores from several key sites in this region. We conclude that the deuterium excess oscillation represents a robust indicator of the meteorological variability on a seasonal to sub-seasonal scale. Low absolute deuterium excess values and the synchronous variation of both deuterium excess and air temperature imply that the evaporation of moisture occurs in the adjacent Southern Ocean. The delta O-18-air temperature relationship is complicated and significant only at a (multi)seasonal scale. Backward trajectory calculations show that air-parcels arriving at the region during precipitation events predominantly originate at the South Pacific Ocean and Bellingshausen Sea. These investigations will be used as a calibration for ongoing and future research in the area, suggesting that appropriate locations for future ice core research are located above 600 m a.s.l. We selected the Plateau Laclavere, Antarctic Peninsula as the most promising site for a deeper drilling campaign.

The hysteresis loss subdivision method proved to be a strong tool to help in the analysis of different energy dissipation mechanisms along the quasi-static hysteresis loop measured on electrical steels. This paper used the samemethod to discuss the mechanisms involving the energy loss dissipation in Mn-Zn ferrite toroidal cores. The samples, sintered under controlled atmosphere in industrial conditions, were measured under triangular waveform excitation at very low frequency (5 mHz) and peak flux densities varying from 0.05 T to 0.45 T. The results show a different behavior between the low inductions hysteresis loss (WLI) and the high induction hysteresis loss (WHI) which proves the existence of different energy dissipation mechanisms affecting these loss components.

[EN] We discuss the processing of data recorded with multimonochromatic x-ray imagers (MMI) in inertial confinement fusion experiments. The MMI records hundreds of gated, spectrally resolved images that can be used to unravel the spatial structure of the implosion core. In particular, we present a new method to determine the centers in all the array of images, a better reconstruction technique of narrowband implosion core images, two algorithms to determine the shape and size of the implosion core volume based on reconstructed broadband images recorded along three-quasiorthogonal lines of sight, and the removal of artifacts from the space-integrated spectra.

Stabile organische Radikale mit zusätzlichen Funktionalitäten wie Donor/Akzepotor Eigenschaften und Ligandeneignung für Übergangsmetallkomplexierung repräsentieren eine synthetische Herausforderung beim Streben nach der Konstruktion hochdimensionaler heterospin Strukturen. In diesem Hinblick wurden acht neue Hochspinbiradikal-Moleküle zusammen mit ihren Monoradikal- Pendants in dieser Arbeit hergestellt. Die Wahl der Liganden als organische Distanzhalter der Radikaleinheiten wurde auf stickstoffhaltige Heterozyklen (Pyridin und Pyrazol) gelenkt. Diese wurden weiterhin mit den stabilen Spinträgern Nitronylnitroxid- (NN) und Iminonitroxidfragmenten (IN) dekoriert. Ihre Synthese beinhaltete mehrstufige Umsetzungen (Brominierung, Iodierung, N- und Carbaldehyd Schutzgruppen, Stille-Kupplung, Grignard Reaktion, etc.) um die Mono- und Dicarbaldehyd-heterocyclenderivate als Schlüsselvorläufer der Radikaleinheiten zu gewinnen. Die Carbaldehyd-Zwischenstufen wurden Kondensationsreaktionen mit 2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-bis(hydroxylamino)-butan unterworfen (üblicherweise in Dioxan unter Argon für ~ 7 Tage), gefolgt von der Oxidation der Bis-hydroxylimidazolidin-Vorläufer unter Phasentransferkatalyse (NaIO4/H2O). Die Radikalmoleküle wurden mit verschiedenen spektroskopischen Methoden untersucht (FT/IR, UV/Vis/ EPR etc.) und ihre Einkristalle mit Röntgenstrahlbeugung gemessen. Die UV/VIS- Lösungsspektren zeigten in einem breiten Bereich verschiedener Lösungsmittelpolaritäten keine spezifische Wechselwirkung zwischen Lösungsmittel und Radikaleinheit, während ihre Stabilitäten in protischen Lösunsgmitteln wie MeOH stark abnahmen. Als Pulver konnten sie jedoch im Kühlschrank an der Luft für eine Jahr gelagert werden, ohne sich zu zersetzen. Die spektroskopischen Fingerabdrücke der Radikale wurden eindeutig identifiziert and erschienen stark abhängig vom Typ des pi-Ringsystems an das die Spinträger gekoppelt wurden. Basierend auf diesen Informationen wurde ein schnelles Protokoll etabliert, das eine direkte Zuordnung der Art der Radikale und ihrer Anzahl ermöglicht, sowie ihre Reinheit und Verunreinigungen zu definieren. In Lösung bestätigte die Analyse der EPR Spektren der Biradikale die starke Austauschwechselwirkung J zwischen den Radikalfragmenten über die Kopplungseinheiten (J >> an, an ist die Stickstoffhyperfeinkopplungskonstante). Dies wurde weiter unterstützt durch die Beobachtungen in gefrorener Lösung über die Nullfeldaufspaltungen und verbotenen Halbfeldübergänge (Δms = 2). Die Temperaturabhängigkeiten der Δms = 2 - EPR Signale wurden bis herunter auf 4 K gemessen und das exakte Vorzeichen und die Größe von J ermittelt. Diese Arbeit unterstreicht die Möglichkeit über synthetische Chemie eine Feineinstellung der „through bond“ Austauschwechselwirkung zwischen verwandten pi- und sigma- konjugierten Heterozyklen zu erreichen, in denen der S = 1 Grundzustand angenommen wird. Zusätzlich zeigten diese Resultate, dass die Übertragung der Spinpolarisation durch verschiedene Koppler sehr effektiv war.

The evolution of the electronics embedded applications forces electronics systems designers to match their ever increasing requirements. This evolution pushes the computational power of digital signal processing systems, as well as the energy required to accomplish the computations, due to the increasing mobility of such applications. Current approaches used to match these requirements relies on the adoption of application specific signal processors. Such kind of devices exploits powerful accelerators, which are able to match both performance and energy requirements. On the other hand, the too high specificity of such accelerators often results in a lack of flexibility which affects non-recurrent engineering costs, time to market, and market volumes too. The state of the art mainly proposes two solutions to overcome these issues with the ambition of delivering reasonable performance and energy efficiency: reconfigurable computing and multi-processors computing. All of these solutions benefits from the post-fabrication programmability, that definitively results in an increased flexibility. Nevertheless, the gap between these approaches and dedicated hardware is still too high for many application domains, especially when targeting the mobile world. In this scenario, flexible and energy efficient acceleration can be achieved by merging these two computational paradigms, in order to address all the above introduced constraints. This thesis focuses on the exploration of the design and application spectrum of reconfigurable computing, exploited as application specific accelerators for multi-processors systems on chip. More specifically, it introduces a reconfigurable digital signal processor featuring a heterogeneous set of reconfigurable engines, and a homogeneous multi-core system, exploiting three different flavours of reconfigurable and mask-programmable technologies as implementation platform for applications specific accelerators. In this work, the various trade-offs concerning the utilization multi-core platforms and the different configuration technologies are explored, characterizing the design space of the proposed approach in terms of programmability, performance, energy efficiency and manufacturing costs.

The efficient emulation of a many-core architecture is a challenging task, each core could be emulated through a dedicated thread and such threads would be interleaved on an either single-core or a multi-core processor. The high number of context switches will results in an unacceptable performance. To support this kind of application, the GPU computational power is exploited in order to schedule the emulation threads on the GPU cores. This presents a non trivial divergence issue, since GPU computational power is offered through SIMD processing elements, that are forced to synchronously execute the same instruction on different memory portions. Thus, a new emulation technique is introduced in order to overcome this limitation: instead of providing a routine for each ISA opcode, the emulator mimics the behavior of the Micro Architecture level, here instructions are date that a unique routine takes as input. Our new technique has been implemented and compared with the classic emulation approach, in order to investigate the chance of a hybrid solution.
