We present the design and realization of cylindrical dielectric resonators operating in the 40–60 GHz frequency range, designed
for the measurement of the surface resistance and of the surface reactance shift in High-T
c Superconductors (HTS) thin films in a dc magnetic field. The resonators are single tone, based on the TE
011 mode, and multiple tone, the latter allowing in principle to exploit the simultaneous determination of the surface impedance
at different frequencies. As an application example, we report the temperature and field dependencies of the effective surface
impedance of some cuprate superconductors thin films. The results are compared with those obtained through the use of a standard
metal cavity with a similar Q-factor and operating in the same frequency range. The comparison highlights a superior stability and a higher sensitivity,
resulting in an increase of about two orders of magnitude in the resolution of the surface impedance measurement. By contrast,
the dissipative part of the superconducting transition (above T/T
c = 0.97) is better studied with the metal cavity. We also present measurements in the vortex state in YBaCa2Cu3O7−δ and Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8+x
that show significantly different physics.

Astrocytes are very versatile cells, endowed with multitasking capacities to ensure brain homeostasis maintenance from brain development to adult life. It has become increasingly evident that astrocytes play a central role in many central nervous system pathologies, not only as regulators of defensive responses against brain insults but also as primary culprits of the disease onset and progression. This is particularly evident in some rare leukodystrophies (LDs) where white matter/myelin deterioration is due to primary astrocyte dysfunctions. Understanding the molecular defects causing these LDs may help clarify astrocyte contribution to myelin formation/maintenance and favor the identification of possible therapeutic targets for LDs and other CNS demyelinating diseases. To date, the pathogenic mechanisms of these LDs are poorly known due to the rarity of the pathological tissue and the failure of the animal models to fully recapitulate the human diseases. Thus, the development of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) from patient fibroblasts and their differentiation into astrocytes is a promising approach to overcome these issues. In this review, we discuss the primary role of astrocytes in LD pathogenesis, the experimental models currently available and the advantages, future evolutions, perspectives, and limitations of hiPSC to study pathologies implying astrocyte dysfunctions. 相似文献

This work presents an admission control mechanism for multi-hop wireless mesh networks based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and the OLSR routing protocol. This mechanism, called CAC-OLSR, aims at ensuring that traffic flows with quality of service (QoS) requirements, especially voice and video, are only admitted in the mesh network if it has available resources in order to provide flow requirements. In addition, QoS requirements of previously admitted traffic flows cannot be violated. The proposal was evaluated with NS-2 and Evalvid simulations. 相似文献

The glucosamine-1-phosphate acetyltransferase activity but not the uridyltransferase activity of the bifunctional GlmU enzyme from Escherichia coli was lost when GlmU was stored in the absence of beta-mercaptoethanol or incubated with thiol-specific reagents. The enzyme was protected from inactivation in the presence of its substrate acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), suggesting the presence of an essential cysteine residue in or near the active site of the acetyltransferase domain. To ascertain the role of cysteines in the structure and function of the enzyme, site-directed mutagenesis was performed to change each of the four cysteines to alanine, and plasmids were constructed for high-level overproduction and one-step purification of histidine-tagged proteins. Whereas the kinetic parameters of the bifunctional enzyme appeared unaffected by the C296A and C385A mutations, 1,350- and 8-fold decreases of acetyltransferase activity resulted from the C307A and C324A mutations, respectively. The Km values for acetyl-CoA and GlcN-1-P of mutant proteins were not modified, suggesting that none of the cysteines was involved in substrate binding. The uridyltransferase activities of wild-type and mutant GlmU proteins were similar. From these studies, the two cysteines Cys307 and Cys324 appeared important for acetyltransferase activity and seemed to be located in or near the active site. 相似文献

The electrical transport in superconductors at nonzero frequencies is affected by the normal and superfiuid fractions, as
well as moving vortices, resulting in intricate expressions for the complex resistivity. In MgB2, additional complications arise from the two-band nature of this material. We present an accurate study of microwave resistivity
data measured in MgB2 thin films by means of the Corbino disk broadband technique between 2 and 20 GHz. We show that a two-fluid model applies
well in a relatively large region of the H–T phase diagram. Excellent agreement is found between the derived superfluid parameters (superfluid density, upper critical
field) and theoretical predictions. In the same H–T region we isolate and discuss the vortex motion complex resistivity. To this end, we make use of the expressions given by
the model by Coffey and Clem (CC). We show that the frequency dependence of the complex vortex resistivity recovers the CC
model. However, the temperature and field dependence of the obtained parameters are at odds with the assumptions of the model.
We discuss possible explanations of these oddities by considering collective pinning of vortices. 相似文献

The interaction of the cytotoxic metals cadmium, zinc, and lead with pancreatic cells was studied by atomic force/lateral Force microscopy (AFM/LFM), an approach that provides both topographic (with nanometer scale lateral resolution) and chemical information on the membrane. Different morphological modifications of the overall cell shape and roughness took place as consequence of 100 muM metal-dependent treatment. Furthermore, after exposure to Cd(Cl(2)) and Zn(Cl(2)), but not Pb(Cl(2)), the LFM images revealed several areas of the cell's surface showing lateral friction contrasts that have been interpreted as marker of different alterations of the cell physiology induced by the metal loading. Thus, the coupling of LFM detection to topographic AFM characterization allows to distinguish, through a nondestructive and surface characterising approach, between different metal-induced cytotoxic effects on cells. In this framework, the role of the LFM as an important tool to discriminate between different alteration of a biological system has to be highlighted. 相似文献

We present measurements of the field induced changes in the 47 GHz complex resistivity, Δρ~(H, T), in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8+x
(TBCCO) thin films with T
c
≃ 105 K, prepared on CeO2 buffered sapphire substrates. At low fields (μ0
H < 10 mT) a very small irreversible feature is present, suggesting a little role of intergranular phenomena. Above that level
Δρ~(H, T exhibits a superlinear dependence with the field, as opposed to the expected (at high frequencies) quasilinear behaviour.
We observe a crossover between predominantly imaginary to predominantly real (dissipative) response with increasing temperature
and/or field. In addition, we find the clear scaling property Δρ~(H, T = Δρ~[H/H
* (T)], where the scaling field H
∗ (T) maps closely the melting field measured in single crystals. We discuss our microwave results in terms of loss of flux lines
rigidity. 相似文献

In this study, the mechanical properties and physical–chemical characteristics of curaua composites were evaluated using tensile and short beam testing and dynamic mechanical analysis. Curaua/polyester composites with different pretreatment (washing and drying), fiber length (10–50 mm) and fiber volume fraction (%Vf) (11, 22, and 38 vol%) were studied. The results show that the composites produced using 50 mm long washed/dried fibers and %Vf of 38 vol% achieved better mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and modulus and short beam strength. Fragility index “m” of the composites increased upon curaua incorporation, which may be attributed to a reduction in polyester chemical interactions (due to fiber dwelling of the polyester network). The energy required in initiating the cooperative motion at the “ideal” glass transition temperature and the cooperative rearrangement regions (CRR) also increased upon curaua incorporation, since CRR is considered the subsystem of the sample and for higher fiber content the greater the molecular heterogeneity. Finally, the Angell fragility concept was successfully applied to polymer composite systems. POLYM. COMPOS., 35:1078–1086, 2014. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献
