Ammonia effects on proton conductivity properties of coordination polymers

Crystalline metal phosphonates are referred to as a type of structurally versatile coordination polymers [1]. Many of them contain guest molecules (H2O, heterocyclics, etc.), acidic sites and, furthermore, their structure can be also amenable for post‐synthesis modifications in order to enhance desired properties [2]. In the present work, we examine the relationships between crystal structure and proton conductivity for several metal phosphonates derive from multifunctional ligands, such as 5-(dihydroxyphosphoryl)isophthalic acid (PiPhtA) [3] and 2-hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid (H3HPAA). Crystalline divalent metal derivatives show a great structural diversity, from 1D to 3D open-frameworks, possessing hydrogen-bonded water molecules and acid groups. These solids present a proton conductivity range between 7.2·10-6 and 1.3·10−3 S·cm-1. Upon exposure to ammonia vapor, from an aqueous solution, solid state transformations are observed accompanied of enhance proton conductivities. The stability of these solids under different environment conditions (temperature and relative humidities) as well as the influence of the ammonia adsorption on the proton conduction properties of the resulting solids will be discussed.

Autovettori e riconoscimento facciale

La tesi tratta della tecnica per il riconoscimento facciale delle autofacce, seguendo come traccia l'articolo "Eigenface for Recognition" di Turk e Pentland, pubblicato nel 1991. In particolare ho verificato la semplicità dell'algoritmo che caratterizza questa tecnica testandola sulle immagini di alcuni soggetti dell'MR2 Face Database grazie al codice che ho implementato a partire da quello di Michael Scheinfeild.Il primo capitolo tratta brevemente della storia delle tecniche di riconoscimento facciale studiate fino agli anni '90. Nel secondo capitolo vengono riportati alcuni richiami di autovalori, autovettori, varianza e covarianza.Nel terzo capitolo viene trattata la tecnica autofacce passaggio per passaggio, facendo riferimento alla verifica che ho fatto in laboratorio. In particolare si trattano la generazione dello spazio delle autofacce e quella della procedura di riconoscimento facciale, seguite da un breve accenno al tipo di problema a cui si approccia questa tecnica.

Evaluación por colegas pares

En este número de reflexiones pedagógicas presentamos el modelo que se ha diseñado para implementar la evaluación por colegas pares en la Universidad del Rosario. Explicamos los principios que lo guían y las etapas y procedimientos para realizar esta evaluación; además, exponemos algunos aprendizajes que ha dejado su implementación en dos facultades en los últimos años, y presentamos algunos retos y desarrollos que enfrenta el modelo a futuro.

ANALYSIS OF SPEECH GENDER COMIC STRIPS FROM THE SOCIOLOGICAL METHOD

Working with comic strips in the classroom for teaching languages requires scientific knowledge which are able to subsidize the understanding of the language as a socio-historical nature, constituted in interactive and discursive entanglements socially conveyed. For that, we aim in this paper, to present the speech genre comic strip in order to analyze it from the Sociological Method proposed by Bakhtin, which points out the thematic content, the compositional construction and style as elements for the study of language. To theoretically support our study, as well as Bakhtin (1998, 2000) and Bakhtin / Voloshinov (2004), we will discuss authors such Brait (2013); Silveira, Rohling and Rodrigues (2012), among others.
