Sci Total Environ. 2018 Jan 15;612:1132-1140. doi: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.08.289. Epub 2017 Sep 08.

Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by the cumulative effects of multiple human pressures. Cumulative effect assessments (CEAs) are needed to inform environmental policy and guide ecosystem-based management. Yet, CEAs are inherently complex and seldom linked to real-world management processes....

Nanoscale probing of the lateral homogeneity of donors concentration in nitridated SiO2/4H-SiC interfaces.

Nanotechnology

Fiorenza P, Di Franco S, Giannazzo F, Roccaforte F.
PMID: 27324844
Nanotechnology. 2016 Aug 05;27(31):315701. doi: 10.1088/0957-4484/27/31/315701. Epub 2016 Jun 21.

In this paper, nanoscale resolution scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) and local capacitance-voltage measurements were used to probe the interfacial donor concentration in SiO2/4H-SiC systems annealed in N2O. Such nitrogen-based annealings are commonly employed to passivate SiO2/SiC interface traps, and...

Biocompatible optical waveguides were constructed entirely of silk fibroin. A silk film (n=1.54) was encapsulated within a silk hydrogel (n=1.34) to form a robust and biocompatible waveguide. Such waveguides were made using only biologically and environmentally friendly materials without...

Beilstein J Nanotechnol. 2014 Dec 08;5:2363-73. doi: 10.3762/bjnano.5.245. eCollection 2014.

The investigation of nanoparticle interactions with tissues is complex. High levels of standardization, ideally testing of different material types in the same biological model, and combinations of sensitive imaging and detection methods are required. Here, we present our studies...

The role of SBRT in oligometastatic patients with liver metastases from breast cancer.

Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology

Scorsetti M, Franceschini D, De Rose F, Comito T, Franzese C, Masci G, Torrisi R, Viganò L, Torzilli G.

Liver metastases from breast cancer are a common occurrence. Local ablative therapies are a promising therapeutic option for these patients, with the potential for a long term disease control in the setting of "oligometastatic patients". Identification of the perfect...

Laser processing of TiO.

Journal of colloid and interface science

Filice S, Compagnini G, Fiorenza R, Scirè S, D'Urso L, Fragalà ME, Russo P, Fazio E, Scalese S.

We have measured the photocatalytic water splitting activity of several titania colloids, modified by nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation. Photocatalysis has been tested using UV and visible light. We have found that laser irradiation increases the hydrogen production efficiency up...

Adaptive control of femtosecond soliton self-frequency shift in fibers.

Optics letters

Efimov A, Taylor AJ, Omenetto FG, Vanin E.
PMID: 14759048
Opt Lett. 2004 Feb 01;29(3):271-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.29.000271.

The Raman shift of a subpicosecond soliton in 100 m of fiber is controlled adaptively by pulse shaping before launching into the fiber. We use a deformable-mirror-based shaper to control the spectral phase of the input pulse.
