Self-consistent theory of atomic Fermi gases with a Feshbach resonance at the superfluid transition

A self-consistent theory is derived to describe the BCS-Bose-Einstein-condensate crossover for a strongly interacting Fermi gas with a Feshbach resonance. In the theory the fluctuation of the dressed molecules, consisting of both preformed Cooper pairs and bare Feshbach molecules, has been included within a self-consistent T-matrix approximation, beyond the Nozieres and Schmitt-Rink strategy considered by Ohashi and Griffin. The resulting self-consistent equations are solved numerically to investigate the normal-state properties of the crossover at various resonance widths. It is found that the superfluid transition temperature T-c increases monotonically at all widths as the effective interaction between atoms becomes more attractive. Furthermore, a residue factor Z(m) of the molecule's Green function and a complex effective mass have been determined to characterize the fraction and lifetime of Feshbach molecules at T-c. Our many-body calculations of Z(m) agree qualitatively well with recent measurments of the gas of Li-6 atoms near the broad resonance at 834 G. The crossover from narrow to broad resonances has also been studied.

Caratterizzazione delle Prestazioni di Protezione al Fuoco di Vernici Intumescenti

Le pitture intumescenti sono utilizzate come protettivi passivi antincendio nel settore delle costruzioni. In particolare sono utilizzate per aumentare la resistenza al fuoco di elementi in acciaio. Le proprietà termiche di questi rivestimenti sono spesso sconosciute o difficili da stimare per via del fatto che variano notevolmente durante il processo di espansione che subisce l’intumescente quando esposto al calore di un incendio. Per questa ragione la validazione della resistenza al fuoco di un rivestimento presente in commercio si basa su metodi costosi economicamente e come tempi di esecuzione nel quale ciascuna trave e colonna rivestita di protettivo deve essere testata una alla volta attraverso il test di resistenza al fuoco della curva cellulosica. In questo lavoro di tesi adottando invece un approccio basato sulla modellazione termica del rivestimento intumescente si ottiene un aiuto nella semplificazione della procedura di test ed un supporto nella progettazione della resistenza al fuoco delle strutture. Il tratto di unione nei vari passaggi della presente tesi è stata la metodologia di stima del comportamento termico sconosciuto, tale metodologia di stima è la “Inverse Parameter Estimation”. Nella prima fase vi è stata la caratterizzazione chimico fisica della vernice per mezzo di differenti apparecchiature come la DSC, la TGA e l’FT-IR che ci hanno permesso di ottenere la composizione qualitativa e le temperature a cui avvengono i principali processi chimici e fisici che subisce la pittura come anche le entalpie legate a questi eventi. Nella seconda fase si è proceduto alla caratterizzazione termica delle pitture al fine di ottenerne il valore di conduttività termica equivalente. A tale scopo si sono prima utilizzate le temperature dell’acciaio di prove termiche alla fornace con riscaldamento secondo lo standard ISO-834 e successivamente per meglio definire le condizioni al contorno si è presa come fonte di calore un cono calorimetrico in cui la misura della temperatura avveniva direttamente nello spessore del’intumescente. I valori di conduttività ottenuti sono risultati congruenti con la letteratura scientifica e hanno mostrato la dipendenza della stessa dalla temperatura, mentre si è mostrata poco variante rispetto allo spessore di vernice deposto ed alla geometria di campione utilizzato.

MARCAS FOLKCOMUNICACIONAIS NA OBRA LITERÁRIA DE LUIZ BELTRÃO

Este estudo está circunscrito em Folkcomunicação, na área da Comunicação Social, e faz uma experiência de análise da obra literária de Luiz Beltrão, no sentido de verificar em que medida essa obra engendra elementos também constantes em seus estudos de Folkcomunicação, a saber, dentro de sua Teoria da Comunicação dos Excluídos (1967). Para este estudo foram selecionados contos e romances com o objetivo de se encontrar no texto literário marcas identificadoras da Folkcomunicação, já que a própria trama narrativa de Luiz Beltrão se dá, freqüentemente, na presença do embate político-ideológico entre cultura acadêmica e cultura popular, salientando ainda diferenças sociais extremadas. Em sua obra literária Beltrão tece narrativas com eventos que descrevem a realidade de indivíduos oprimidos, descortinando o quotidiano das gentes das classes desfavorecidas, sempre no confronto e em demanda com forças dos poderes políticos e sociais. Com apoio teórico de Bourdieu (2004), que postula a teoria dos campos e desenvolve o conceito de habitus, levanta-se um conjunto de crenças e práticas sociais que concretizam a identidade dos indivíduos em sociedade, particularmente no grupo dos excluídos. Assim, a pesquisa tem por objetivo verificar se na obra literária de LB elementos da Folkcomunicação já estavam presentes, conforme postulam as hipóteses aqui levantadas. Os resultados obtidos apontam que serão necessários outros estudos de análise para que se possam confirmar plenamente as hipóteses levantadas; no entanto, ficam evidentes as escolhas do autor sempre voltadas para os grupos sociais excluídos, sem voz social de relevo no universo comunicacional.(AU)

Synthesis and evaluation of N1-substituted-3-propyl-1,4-benzodiazepine-2-ones as cholecystokinin (CCK2) receptor ligands

A novel synthetic approach towards N1-alkylated 3-propyl-1,4-benzodiazepines was developed in five synthetic steps from 2-amino-4-chlorobenzophenone, in which the N-oxide 4 served as a key intermediate. The structure-activity relationship optimization of this 3-prophyl-1,4-benzodiazepine template was carried out on the N1-position by selective alkylation reactions and resulted in a ligand with an improved affinity on the cholecystokinin (CCK2) receptor. The N-allyl-3-propyl-benzodiazepine 6d displayed an affinity towards the CCK2 (CCK-B) receptor of 170 nM in a radiolabelled receptor-binding assay. The anxiolytic activity of this allyl-3-propyl-1,4-benzodiazepine 6d was subsequently determined in in-vivo psychotropic assays. This novel ligand had ED50 values of 4.7 and 5.2 mg kg-1 in the black and white box test and the x-maze, respectively, and no significant sedation/muscle relaxation was observed.

Parametric study of the behaviour of reinforced concrete columns in fire

The research is concerned with the application of the computer simulation technique to study the performance of reinforced concrete columns in a fire environment. The effect of three different concrete constitutive models incorporated in the computer simulation on the structural response of reinforced concrete columns exposed to fire is investigated. The material models differed mainly in respect to the formulation of the mechanical properties of concrete. The results from the simulation have clearly illustrated that a more realistic response of a reinforced concrete column exposed to fire is given by a constitutive model with transient creep or appropriate strain effect The assessment of the relative effect of the three concrete material models is considered from the analysis by adopting the approach of a parametric study, carried out using the results from a series of analyses on columns heated on three sides which produce substantial thermal gradients. Three different loading conditions were used on the column; axial loading and eccentric loading both to induce moments in the same sense and opposite sense to those induced by the thermal gradient. An axially loaded column heated on four sides was also considered. The computer modelling technique adopted separated the thermal and structural responses into two distinct computer programs. A finite element heat transfer analysis was used to determine the thermal response of the reinforced concrete columns when exposed to the ISO 834 furnace environment. The temperature distribution histories obtained were then used in conjunction with a structural response program. The effect of the occurrence of spalling on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete column is also investigated. There is general recognition of the potential problems of spalling but no real investigation into what effect spalling has on the fire resistance of reinforced concrete members. In an attempt to address the situation, a method has been developed to model concrete columns exposed to fire which incorporates the effect of spalling. A total of 224 computer simulations were undertaken by varying the amounts of concrete lost during a specified period of exposure to fire. An array of six percentages of spalling were chosen for one range of simulation while a two stage progressive spalling regime was used for a second range. The quantification of the reduction in fire resistance of the columns against the amount of spalling, heating and loading patterns, and the time at which the concrete spalls appears to indicate that it is the amount of spalling which is the most significant variable in the reduction of fire resistance.
