    Surface active fatty acid ILs: Influence of the hydrophobic tail and/or the imidazolium hydroxyl functionalization on aggregates formation

    No full text
    Nine structurally-related fatty acid ionic liquids have been prepared and their thermal behavior as well as their ability to self-assemble in water has been investigated. The thermal properties were studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while the aggregation behavior was analyzed by tensiometry, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), conductometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS). Structural variations concerned both the imidazolium cation (presence or not of hydroxyl groups) and the anion (length of the fatty acid), and affected in different ways the ILs' properties. With regards to the thermal stability, the presence of the hydroxyl group on the cation had a beneficial effect on stability regardless of the anion's length. This latter played instead a major role in allowing the solubility of the ILs in water (C18-stearate ILs were not soluble in water) and in determining the critical micelle concentration (CMC) values, as the reduction of the anion length in moving from C16-palmitate to C14-myristate anions disfavors aggregates formation. Several other parameters characterizing the adsorption of fatty acid ILs at the air/water interface, some thermodynamic parameters of the aggregation process as well as size distribution and stability of the aggregates were also determined

    The persuasive power and the discourse of the social campaigns

    La communication aura pour l’objet d’examiner les particularités du discours persuasif des campagnes sociétales pour y relever des stratégies les plus fréquentes et pour comprendre par quels moyens linguistiques les experts en marketing sociétal tendent à éveiller les émotions du destinataire. On se penchera sur le rôle de trois opérations discursives, notamment enseigner, plaire et émouvoir dans le discours des campagnes sociétales en mettant l’accent sur la publicité qui fait l’appel à la peur et à la provocation. Notre analyse sera basée sur un corpus constitué par les slogans, les affiches et les vidéos des campagnes sociétales relevées sur les sites français, polonais et italiens.The present article aims at analysing the persuasive strategies that the authors of the social campaigns use in order to change the opinions and attitude of their audiences. The scope of the article is to examine the persuasive force of the words used in the slogans of the social campaigns as well as the evocative power of the images on the posters and videos. For this, it will focus on the three objectives of the persuasive discourse, i.e. teaching, pleasing and touching the audience, and examine them in the context of social campaigns that use fear and provocation to achieve their aims. The analysis is based on a corpus of slogans, posters and videos of French, Polish and Italian social [email protected] ŁódzkiBonhomme M., 2014, Pragmatique des figures du discours, Paris.Courbet D., Marchioli A., 2014, Risques et communication de santé publique en contexte méditerranéen.

    In this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report

    Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′

    First evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
