W Hya : molecular inventory by ISO-SWS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool to probe the inventory of solid state and molecular species in circumstellar ejecta. Here we analyse the infrared spectrum of the Asymptotic Giant Branch star W Hya, obtained by the Short and Long Wavelength ...

Composite Hydrogels with Included Solid-State Nanoparticles Bearing Anticancer Chemotherapeutics

open access: yesGels, 2023
Hydrogels have many useful physicochemical properties which, in combination with their biocompatibility, suggest their application as a drug delivery system for the local and prorogated release of drugs. However, their drug-absorption capacity is limited

Sol–gel synthesis and characterization of barium (magnesium) aluminosilicate glass sealants for solid oxide fuel cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) correspond to efficient energy conversion systems coupled with low emissions of pollutants. In the aim to fabricate high temperature planar SOFC, glass and glass-ceramic sealants are developed to associate several criteria ...

Tracing the development of dust around evolved stars: The case of 47 Tuc [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We observed mid-infrared (7.5-22 mum) spectra of AGB stars in the globular cluster 47 Tuc with the Spitzer telescope and find significant dust features of various types. Comparison of the characteristics of the dust spectra with the location of the stars

K-Based Geopolymer from metakaolin: roles of K/Al ratio and water or steam Curing at different temperatures

open access: yesMateriales de Construccion, 2016
K-based geopolymer binder was prepared by reacting metakaolin with alkaline solutions having different potassium contents and by water curing at room temperature and 80 °C as well as steam curing at 150 and 180 °C. The phase formation, microstructure and

Chemical diffusion of fluorine in jadeite melt at high pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The chemical diffusion of fluorine in jadeite melt has been investigated from 10 to 15 kbars and 1200 to 1400°C using diffusion couples of Jadeite melt and fluorine-bearing jadeite melt (6.3 wt.% F). The diffusion profile data indicate that the diffusion

Dusty wind of W Hya. Multi-wavelength modelling of the present-day and recent mass-loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Low- and intermediate-mass stars go through a period of intense mass-loss at the end of their lives in a phase known as the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). During the AGB a significant fraction of their initial mass is expelled in a stellar wind.
