The new World Wide Web site "GOLDMine" (Galaxy On Line Database Milano Network) (http:// goldmine.mib.infn.it) contains a multiwavelength data-base of an optically selected sample 3267 galaxies in the Virgo cluster and Coma Supercluster. It is designed for professional astronomers who wish to find data images these galaxies. Data gathered 15 years observational campaigns by authors or taken from literature include general parameters (catalogue names, celestial coordinates, morphological...
Abstract About 5 trillion plastic particles are present in our oceans, from the macro to micro size. Like any other aquatic particulate, plastics and microplastics can create a micro-environment, within which microbial chemical conditions differ significantly surrounding water. Despite high increasing abundance of ocean, their influence on transformation composition marine organic matter is largely unknown. Chromophoric dissolved (CDOM) photo-reactive fraction (DOM) pool. Changes CDOM...
Background/Objectives: Crown ethers have received increasing interest owing to their ability form stable complexes with cations. This molecular feature has been successfully exploited in the development of biologically relevant ionophores. Methods: In order obtain innovative crown derivatives, a Morita–Baylis–Hillman adduct (MBHA) acetate (4) bearing phenylacetylene moiety was dimerized via click-chemistry CuAAC reaction oligo(ethylene glycol) diazide derivatives build-up small series...
We report on a complete CCD imaging survey of 226 elliptical galaxies in the North-East quadrant Virgo cluster, representative properties giant and dwarf this cluster. fit their radial light profiles with Sersic r^(1/n) model distribution. confirm result Graham & Guzman (2003) that apparent dichotomy between E dE luminosity-_e plane no longer appears when other structural parameters are considered can be entirely attributed to onset "core" at B_T sim -20.5 mag. When not considered, form...
Abstract The products and by‐products of Olea europaea L.: olive fruits (primary agricultural product), oils agro‐industrial pomaces (agro‐industrial processing by‐product), leaves (agricultural practices are promising sources bioactive compounds. In the present study, qualitative quantitative analyses selected components in fruits, oils, were performed. Total polyphenol content antioxidant activity analyzed all samples (humid 2015: TPP, 26.0 ± 1.5–43.7 3.0 g(GAEq)/kg DW; TEAC/ABTS, 189.5...
A new polymer based on a functionalized benzofulvene moiety has been synthesized by spontaneous polymerization of the monomer in solid state. This shows very high molar mass, solubility most common organic solvents, and thermoreversible properties. An interesting application synthesis is reported.
The synthesis of a series benzofulvene derivatives 3 related to the recently studied ethyl 1-methylene-3-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-indene-2-carboxylate (BF1) is described. properties these trans-diene were characterized with regard their capability polymerizing spontaneously give new polymers based on functionalized indene monomeric units. has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy, multiangle light scattering online size exclusion chromatography, UV−vis mass spectrometry, differential scanning...
The use of ultra-precise optical clocks in space ("master clocks") will allow for a range new applications the fields fundamental physics (tests Einstein's theory General Relativity, time and frequency metrology by means comparison distant terrestrial clocks), geophysics (mapping gravitational potential Earth), astronomy (providing local oscillators radio ranging interferometry space). Within ELIPS-3 program ESA, "Space Optical Clocks" (SOC) project aims to install operate an lattice clock...
Large deployable space structures are mission-criti cal technologies for which deployment failure cannot be an option. The difficulty to full y reproduce and test on ground the of large systems dictates need e xtremely reliable architectural concepts. In 2010, ESA promoted a study focused at pre-development breakthrough concepts offering superior reliabilit y. study, was performed as initiative Small Medium Enterprises Office (http://www.esa.int/SME/), by Kayser Italia its premises in...
Two new polymers envelop a benzothiadiazole dye by π-stacking interactions and complete FRET is obtained.
A polybenzofulvene brush was enveloped by means of nona(ethylene glycol) arms into hyaluronan shells.
In the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), α-cyclodextrin forms a molecular adduct called "molecular necklace" that belongs to class polyrotaxanes. The condensation with epichlorohydrin results in formation so-called tube" (MT), rodlike rigid molecule an empty hydrophobic cavity can behave as host for ions or small organic molecules. MT has been obtained from PEG3350, considerably longer than chain used previous works. This paper reports NMR investigation dynamic properties, via carbon...
The polymerization of trans-diene BF1 [ethyl 1-methylene-3-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-indene-2-carboxylate] has been studied in the presence various amounts an anionic initiator such as phenyllithium order to obtain information on properties this diene monomer and its polymers. produced a mixture oligomers polymer (poly-BF1-AP), proportion which is regulated by amount used. Poly-BF1 was separated from lower basis solubility n-hexane, soluble material further fractionated chromatography activated...
