No full textInterpolating sequences for H∞(BH)
No full textWe prove that under the extended Carleson’s condition, a sequence (xn) ⊂ BH is linear interpolating for H∞(BH) for an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H. In particular, we construct the interpolating functions for each sequence and find a bound for the constant of interpolation.The author is supported by Project MTM 2011-22457 (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Spain) and Project P1-1B2014-35 (Universitat Jaume I, Spain

No full textNon-covalent interactions in hydrogen storage materials and
No full textIn the present work, an in-depth, qualitative and quantitative description of non-covalent interactions in the hydrogen storage materials LiN(CH3)2BH3 and KN(CH3)2BH3 was performed by means of the charge and energy decomposition method (ETS-NOCV) as well as the Interacting Quantum Atoms (IQA) approach. It was determined that both crystals are stabilized by electrostatically dominated intra- and intermolecular M∙∙∙H–B interactions (M = Li, K). For LiN(CH3)2BH3 the intramolecular charge transfer appeared (B–H→Li) to be more pronounced compared with the corresponding intermolecular contribution. We clarified for the first time, based on the ETS-NOCV and IQA methods, that homopolar BH∙∙∙HB interactions in LiN(CH3)2BH3 can be considered as destabilizing (due to the dominance of repulsion caused by negatively charged borane units), despite the fact that some charge delocalization within BH∙∙∙HB contacts is enforced (which explains H∙∙∙H bond critical points found from the QTAIM method). Interestingly, quite similar (to BH∙∙∙HB) intermolecular homopolar dihydrogen bonds CH∙∙∙HC appared to significantly stabilize both crystals—the ETS-NOCV scheme allowed us to conclude that CH∙∙∙HC interactions are dispersion dominated, however, the electrostatic and σ/σ*(C–H) charge transfer contributions are also important. These interactions appeared to be more pronounced in KN(CH3)2BH3 compared with LiN(CH3)2BH3
Behavior of Geogrid-Sand Interface in Direct Shear Mode
No full text[[abstract]]The contribution of transverse ribs to the soil-geogrids interaction under pullout mode has been well documented. However, the contribution of transverse ribs to the soil-geogrid interaction under direct shear mode is, at best, unclear. Consequently, this paper presents the results of a comprehensive direct shear testing program aimed at evaluating the contribution of transverse ribs to the interface shear. The direct shear tests involved Ottawa sand and several polyester geogrids with a variety of material tensile strength, percent open area, and aperture pattern. The test results show that the shear strength of sand-geogrid interfaces under direct shear mode is significantly higher than that of sand-geotextile interfaces. Analysis of shear displacement-strength response of the interfaces indicates that, in addition to interface shear components due to sand-rib friction and sand-sand shear at the location of the openings, the transverse ribs provide additional contribution to the overall sand-geogrid interface resistance. Specifically, analysis of the results reveals that the transverse ribs of the geogrid used in this study provide approximately 10% of interface shear resistance. This contribution is positively correlated with the tensile strength and the stiffness of geogrid ribs, but is negatively correlated with the percent open area of the geogrid. A simple model is proposed to quantify the contribution of transverse ribs to the interface shear strength under direct shear mode.[[note]]SC
Comparison of H-2 and NH3 Treatments for Copper Interconnects
No full text[[abstract]]The surface state, electrical, and reliability characteristics of copper (Cu) interconnects after ammonia (NH3) or hydrogen (H-2) plasma treatment were investigated in this study. The experimental results show that H-2 plasma treatment has excellent Cu oxide removal efficiency, less impact on the formation of Cu hillocks, and less damage on low-dielectric constant (low-k) dielectrics in comparison to NH3 plasma treatment. However, H-2 plasma treatment results in a higher leakage current between the Cu lines and shorter electromigration (EM) failure time due to a weaker adhesion strength at the Cu film interface. On the other hand, NH3 plasma treatment without the sufficient treatment time would lead to an increased probability of delamination at the Cu/barrier layer interface since the Cu oxide layer can not be completely removed. As a result, extending NH3 plasma treatment time can efficiently reduce the adhesion failure and enlarge EM resistance as well.[[note]]SC
Effet du traitement thermique des graines de lin sur la biohydrogénation ruminale des acides gras polyinsaturés et la qualité de matière grasse du lait de vache
No full textLa biohydrogénation (BH) des acides gras de graines de lin crues, conditionnées ou extrudées a été étudiée in vitro, in situ et dans les contenus ruminal et duodénal. La BH des acides gras polyinsaturés a surtout produit comme intermédiaires 9,11,15C18:3, trans-11,cis-15C18:1, et trans-11 à trans-16C18 :1. Le conditionnement a ralenti la BH de C18:3 et l'extrusion a augmenté les proportions d'intermédiaires. Les résultats in vitro étaient proches de ceux obtenus sur le flux duodénal mais la BH était lente in situ avec une accumulation importante d'intermédiaires. La BH était faible dans la phase solide du contenu ruminal et élevée dans la phase liquide.L'ingestion de 2,8 kg de graines de lin crues ou extrudées par des vaches a diminué la production de lait sans modifier les taux butyreux et protéique, a diminué la teneur du lait en C6:0-C16:0 et le rapport oméga-6/oméga-3, et a augmenté les proportions de trans-C18:1, cis-9,trans-11C18:2, trans-11,cis-15C18:2, 9,11,15C18:3 et C18:3.TOULOUSE-ENSAT-Documentation (315552324) / SudocSudocFranceF
Evaluation and ranking of researchers--Bh Index.
No full textEvaluation and ranking of every author is very crucial as it is widely used to evaluate the performance of the researcher. This article proposes a new method, called Bh-Index, to evaluate the researchers based on the publications and citations. The method is built on h-Index and only the h-core articles are taken into consideration. The method assigns value additions to those articles that receive significantly high citations in comparison to the h-Index of the researcher. It provides a wide range of values for a given h-Index and effective evaluation even for a short period. Use of Bh-Index along with the h-Index gives a powerful tool to evaluate the researchers
ROVIBRATIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF X BH BY THE EXTRAPOLATION OF PHOTOSELECTED HIGH-RYDBERG SERIES IN BH
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907; Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia, 6174 University Boulevard,; Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z3Optical-optical-optical triple resonance spectroscopy of BH isolates high-Rydberg states that form series converging to rotational state specific ionization potentials in the vibrational levels of BH from through . Limits defined by a comprehensive fit of these series to state-detailed thresholds yield rovibrational constants describing the X state of BH. The data provide a first determination of the vibration-rotation interaction parameter cm and a more accurate estimate of cm together with the higher-order anharmonic terms cm and cm. The deperturbation and global fit of series to state-detailed limits also yields a precise value of the adiabatic ionization potential of BH of cm, or eV. High precision is afforded here by the use of graphical analysis techniques, narrow bandwidth laser systems, and an analysis of newly observed, high-principal quantum number Rydberg states that conform well with a Hund's case (d) electron-core coupling limit
