Relaxor characteristics of layered Ba1-(3/2)xLaxBi2Nb2O9 ceramics

Barium lanthanum bismuth niobate Ba1−(3/2)xLaxBi2Nb2O9 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15) powders have been prepared via solid state reaction route. The monophasic layered perovskite nature of each composition of these was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. A continuous decrease in the lattice parameter c of parent BaBi2Nb2O9 with increase in La3+ doping level was noteworthy. A decrease in dielectric constant maximum (εm), a shift in dielectric anomaly to lower temperatures (from 488 to 382 K), and an increase in the diffuseness (γ) (from 1.58 to 1.84) of dielectric anomaly were encountered on increasing x from 0 to 0.15. Vogel-Fulcher analyses showed a decrease in freezing temperature (Tf) (from 157 to 40 K) and an increase in the activation energy (0.53 to 1.12 eV) for frequency dispersion with increase in La3+ content. A downward shift in the peak position of the pyroelectric coefficient with increasing La3+ doping level was observed. The observed changes in the above physical properties were attributed to the increase in A-site chemical heterogeneity as a result of aliovalent La3+ doping on Ba2+ sites and associated A-site vacancy formation.

Estudio del efecto del empleo de invernaderos sobre la productividad de cuatro genotipos de espárrago verde : Marte, H668, Giove y UC-157 en su quinta cosecha y el comportamiento en poscosecha de turiones largos

Resumen: Cadena espárrago: Producción de diferentes genotipos en el quinto año y comportamiento en poscosecha. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron evaluar el rendimiento de primicia en invernadero, de los genotipos masculinos italianos: H668, Marte, y Giove, versus el testigo americano tradicionalmente cultivado UC-157, en su quinta temporada de cosecha y estudiar el comportamiento de turiones largos producidos, acondicionados en distintas presentaciones, como estrategia de envasado para la valorización del producto final. Para tal fin se llevó a cabo un ensayo en la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, situada en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. El mismo se inició el 15/11/2006 y el período de cosecha del quinto año se extendió desde el día 04/09/2012 hasta el 22/10/2012, durante el cual se realizaron 19 recolecciones, cada 2 días. En este ensayo se efectuó un análisis multifactor ANOVA-LSD test (P>0.05), mediante el cual se estudiaron las variables: diferencias en productividad total y comercial (PFT y PFC), Nº turiones totales y comerciales/ha (NTT y NTC) y distribución porcentual de calibres (DC): Jumbo (J), Extra-Large (XL), Large (L), Medium (M) y Small (S); y defectos encontrados (D): espigados (TE); cortos (TC) y otros defectos (OD). En el mismo lugar, la evaluación de comportamiento en poscosecha se llevó a cabo durante un período de 20 días (17/10/2012–07/11/2012), en el cual se efectuaron 6 determinaciones, con tres repeticiones. Las distintas estrategias de envasado evaluadas fueron: atados (A), bandejas (BA) y bolsas de polietileno (BO) y las variables estudiadas fueron: Evolución del peso fresco (EPF); pérdida de peso fresco diaria (PPFD) y peso fresco promedio del período de poscosecha (PPFP). En cuanto a los resultados, los mismos fueron alentadores, Los tres genotipos italianos superaron las 9 t.ha-1, valor que duplica la media nacional argentina, superando al híbrido tradicionalmente cultivado, UC-157. pudiéndose observar un mejor comportamiento de los híbridos italianos, destacándose Giove en PFT, PFC, NTT, NTC y una DC favorable, con un 70 % de los turiones L y XL. Con respecto al comportamiento en poscosecha, se evidenció que el menor grado de deshidratación se obtiene mediante el empleo de bolsas y bandejas de IV Gama.

Comparative observation of Ar, Ar-H-2 and Ar-N-2 DC arc plasma jets and their arc root behaviour at reduced pressure

Results observed experimentally are presented, about the DC arc plasma jets and their arc-root behaviour generated at reduced gas pressure without or with an applied magnetic field. Pure argon, argon-hydrogen or argon- nitrogen mixture was used as the plasma-forming gas. A specially designed copper mirror was used for a better observation of the arc-root behaviour on the anode surface of the DC non-transferred arc plasma torch. It was found that in the cases without an applied magnetic field, the laminar plasma jets were stable and approximately axisymmetrical. The arc-root attachment on the anode surface was completely diffusive when argon was used as the plasma-forming gas, while the arc-root attachment often became constrictive when hydrogen or nitrogen was added into the argon. As an external magnetic field was applied, the arc root tended to rotate along the anode surface of the non-transferred arc plasma torch.

Molecular evidence for the monophyly of East Asian groups of Cyprinidae (Teleostei : Cypriniformes) derived from the nuclear recombination activating gene 2 sequences

The family Cyprinidae is one of the largest families of fishes in the world and a well-known component of the East Asian freshwater fish fauna. However, the phylogenetic relationships among cyprinids are still poorly understood despite much effort paid on the cyprinid molecular phylogenetics. Original nucleotide sequence data of the nuclear recombination activating gene 2 were collected from 109 cyprinid species and four non-cyprinid cypriniform outgroup taxa and used to infer the cyprinid phylogenetic relationships and to estimate node divergence times. Phylogenetic reconstructions using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analysis retrieved the same clades, only branching order within these clades varied slightly between trees. Although the morphological diversity is remarkable, the endemic cyprinid taxa in East Asia emerged as a monophyletic clade referred to as Xenocypridini. The monophyly for the subfamilies including Cyprininae and Leuciscinae, as well as the tribes including Labeonini, Gobionini, Acheilognathini, and Leuciscini, was also well resolved with high nodal support. Analysis of the RAG2 gene supported the following cyprinid molecular phylogeny: the Danioninae is the most basal subfamily within the family Cyprinidae and the Cyprininae is the sister group of the Leuciscinae. The divergence times were estimated for the nodes corresponding to the principal clades within the Cyprinidae. The family Cyprinidae appears to have originated in the mid-Eocene in Asia, with the cladogenic event of the key basal group Danioninae occurring in the early Oligocene (about 31-30 MYA), and the origins of the two subfamilies, Cyprininae and Leuciscinae, occurring in the mid-Oligocene (around 26 MYA).

Observation of a pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2) oblate band in Tl-188

Excited states in Tl-188 have been studied experimentally using the Gd-157(Cl-35;4n) reaction at a beam energy of 170 MeV. A rotational band built on the pi h(9/2) x nu i(13/2) configuration with oblate deformation has been established for Tl-188. Based on the structure systematics of the oblate pi h(9/2) x nu i(13/2) bands in the heavier odd-odd Tl nuclei, we have tentatively proposed spin values for the new band in Tl-188. The pi h(9/2) x nu i(13/2) oblate band in Tl-188 shows low-spin signature inversion, and it can be interpreted qualitatively by the two-quasiparticle plus rotor model including a J-dependent p-n residual interaction.

Properties of the pi h(9/2)circle times nu i(13/2) oblate band in Tl-188

High spin states in Tl-188 have been investigated via the Gd-157(Cl-35,4n) reaction at beam energy of 170 MeV. A rotational band built on the pi h(9/2) circle times nu(13/2) configuration with oblate deformation has been established. Considering the similarity between the band structure observed in odd-odd Tl nuclei, spin values have been tentatively proposed for the new band in Tl-188. The pi h(9/2) circle times nu(13/2) oblate band in Tl-188 shows low-spin signature inversion, and it can be interpreted qualitatively by the two quasiparticle plus rotor model including a J-dependent p-n residual interaction.

Signature inversion in pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2) oblate band of Tl-188

High-spin Level structure of Tl-188 has been studied via Gd-157 (Cl-35,4n) fusion-evaporation reaction at beam energy of 170MeV. A rotational band built on the pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2) configuration with oblate deformation has been established. Spin values have been proposed to the pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2) oblate band based on the similarities between the oblate band of Tl-188 and those in odd-odd Tl190-200. With the spin assignments, the low-spin signature inversion has been revealed for the pi h(9/2) circle times nu i(13/2) oblate band of Tl-188. The low-spin signature inversion can be interpreted qualitatively in the framework of the quasi-particles plus rotor model including a J dependent p-n residual interaction.

Geometry in preduals of spaces of 2-homogeneous polynomials on Hilbert spaces

Let H be a (real or complex) Hilbert space. Using spectral theory and properties of the Schatten–Von Neumann operators, we prove that every symmetric tensor of unit norm in HoH is an infinite absolute convex combination of points of the form xox with x in the unit sphere of the Hilbert space. We use this to obtain explicit characterizations of the smooth points of the unit ball of HoH .
