    Full factorial design applied to the synthesis of Pd-?Ag nanobars by the polyol method and the perspective for ethanol oxidation

    Full factorial design methodology was applied to the synthesis and optimization of Pd–Ag nanobars usingthe polyol process as the reducer. The concentration of Br? ions, the temperature and the reaction timewere selected as factors to study, whereas the yield (% nanobars) was the response to be analyzed. Thenanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-rayphotoelectron spectroscopy. The nanoparticles were also tested for the ethanol electro-oxidationreaction by cyclic voltammetry in alkaline solution. The three factors had a positive effect onthe response: the nanobar yield increased as the level of the variables changed from ?1 to +1. Thetemperature and reaction time were the most determinant variables (main and interacting) on thenanobar yield, whereas the concentration of Br? influenced the yield to a lesser extent. After designingthree optimum experiments, a maximum nanobar yield of 47.3% was obtained. The more negativeelectro-oxidation onset, higher current density and more negative current peak potential show that theincorporation of Ag into Pd nanobars improves the kinetic and thermodynamic behavior towards theethanol electro-oxidation reaction compared with that obtained with nanometrically pure Pd nanobars.This improvement is the result of surface modification caused by the incorporation of Ag in theformation of Pd–Ag bimetallic nanobars with (200) surfaces

    FUENTES GRÁFICAS Y VISUALES. UN ACERCAMIENTO INICIAL A FUENTES NO ESCRITAS

    No full text
    Las imágenes son fuentes problemáticas para la investigación histórica, siendo utilizadas como un soporte acompañante de estudios sobre el pasado, pero raras veces utilizadas como el centro mismo de la interpretación, comúnmente dejando esta labor especializada a los historiadores del arte. Sin embargo, las fuentes no verbales han demostrado, en investigaciones más recientes, su potencialidad como vestigios del pasado. Este ensayo busca poner en diálogo la favorabilidad y las dificultades de utilizar las fuentes gráficas para descubrir la pertinencia de su uso y las posibilidades que con ellas se abren

    A pre-post test evaluation of the impact of the PELICAN MDT-TME Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members

    Background: the PELICAN Multidisciplinary Team Total Mesorectal Excision (MDT-TME) Development Programme aimed to improve clinical outcomes for rectal cancer by educating colorectal cancer teams in precision surgery and related aspects of multidisciplinary care. The Programme reached almost all colorectal cancer teams across England. We took the opportunity to assess the impact of participating in this novel team-based Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members.Methods: the impact of participating in the programme on team members' self-reported job stress, job satisfaction and team performance was assessed in a pre-post course study. 333/568 (59%) team members, from the 75 multidisciplinary teams who attended the final year of the Programme, completed questionnaires pre-course, and 6-8 weeks post-course.Results: across all team members, the main sources of job satisfaction related to working in multidisciplinary teams; whilst feeling overloaded was the main source of job stress. Surgeons and clinical nurse specialists reported higher levels of job satisfaction than team members who do not provide direct patient care, whilst MDT coordinators reported the lowest levels of job satisfaction and job stress. Both job stress and satisfaction decreased after participating in the Programme for all team members. There was a small improvement in team performance.Conclusions: participation in the Development Programme had a mixed impact on the working lives of team members in the immediate aftermath of attending. The decrease in team members' job stress may reflect the improved knowledge and skills conferred by the Programme. The decrease in job satisfaction may be the consequence of being unable to apply these skills immediately in clinical practice because of a lack of required infrastructure and/or equipment. In addition, whilst the Programme raised awareness of the challenges of teamworking, a greater focus on tackling these issues may have improved working lives furthe

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
