A presença e o papel da religião nas Comemorações Centenárias de 1940
Creators: name: Brito, Ricardo De
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2011

description: O Duplo Centenário de 1940 foi, possivelmente, o período de maior prestígio e fulgor do Estado Novo. A utilização destas comemorações pelo regime foi bastante evidente, tanto no seu planeamento como na forma como conseguiu usa‑las como veículo de projecção ideológica e doutrinária. Mas foi também o ano da assinatura da Concordata com o Vaticano, colocando um fim à questão religiosa, iniciada pelo liberalismo e levada a um certo extremo pelos republicanos. Neste artigo tentar‑se‑á analisar a forma como a «religião» foi projectada, tanto pelo poder político quer pelas autoridades eclesiásticas e, noutra vertente, iremos também focar a forma como as artes plásticas representaram o tópico religioso.

Charged Particles are Prevented from Going Faster than the Speed of Light by Light Itself: A Biophysical Cell Biologist's Contribution to Physics

description: Investigations of living organisms have led biologists and physicians to introduce fundamental concepts, including Brownian motion, the First Law of Thermodynamics, Poiseuille's Law of fluid flow, and Fick's Law of diffusion into physics. Given the prominence of viscous forces within and around cells and the experience of identifying and quantifying such resistive forces, biophysical cell biologists have an unique perspective in discovering the viscous forces that cause moving particles to respond to an applied force in a nonlinear manner. Using my experience as a biophysical cell biologist, I show that in any space consisting of a photon gas with a temperature above absolute zero, Doppler-shifted photons exert a velocity-dependent viscous force on moving charged particles. This viscous force prevents charged particles from exceeding the speed of light. Consequently, light itself prevents charged particles from moving faster than the speed of light. This interpretation provides a testable alternative to the interpretation provided by the Special Theory of Relativity, which contends that particles are prevented from exceeding the speed of light as a result of the relativity of time.

Vascular function in Neurofibromatosis 1
Creators: name: Jett, Kimberly Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1/3000. NF1 is characterized by multiple café-au-lait spots, iris hamartomas, and multiple nerve sheath tumors. Patients may also present with heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, ischemia, or aneurysm. Though well documented, vascular disease in NF1 patients remains poorly understood. Previous in vitro studies suggest that endothelial and vascular smooth muscle function is altered in Nf1+/- mice; however, it is unknown how these alterations affect vascular function in vivo. Haploinsufficiency for neurofibromin, the protein affected in patients with NF1, results in prolonged Ras hyperactivation. We hypothesized that this may result in vascular endothelial dysfunction and impaired cardiac function. To study this hypothesis we examined vascular function in Nf1+/- and control mice using wire myography. Isometric force measurements in thoracic and abdominal aorta at 6-months of age were similar, with Nf1+/- mice demonstrating altered smooth muscle function, enhanced relaxation, and upregulation of the PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. To determine if the alterations observed at 6 months of age remain stable or progress to a more dysfunctional state, we examined the abdominal aorta in older mice. Interestingly, we observed increased contraction and reduced relaxation in 9-to-12 month old Nf1+/-mice compared to control littermates, indicative of endothelial dysfunction and progression to a more dysfunctional state. Vascular dysfunction is likely to impact cardiac performance, and Ras hyperactivation has also been linked to cardiac dysfunction. We, therefore, used 2-dimensional echocardiography with color Doppler to measure cardiac function in Nf1+/- and control littermates. We found that Nf1+/- mice have increased left ventricular wall thickness and reduced cardiac contractility. We also observed alterations in cardiomyocyte organization in Nf1+/- animals. The results presented in this thesis support the hypothesis that neurofibromin haploinsufficiency in Nf1+/- mice results in vascular endothelial and cardiac dysfunction. Whether these findings extend to humans with NF1, who have the same genetic defect, is unknown, but if so, our observations may have important clinical implications. The role of neurofibromin in other kinds of vascular disease needs to be studied, and the possibility that neurofibromin may provide a novel therapeutic target should be explored.

Teixeira de Pascoaes: um espiritualismo cívico ou laico ou a tradição como recomposição espiritual
Creators: name: Francisco, Elisabete
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2011

description: Teixeira de Pascoaes foi o homem do sonho e da esperança, da sombra e da luz. Simbolizando o saudosismo, as suas obras são marca de um tempo que preconizava o modernismo. Mas o grande paradoxo do modernismo foi o encontro da tradição com a actualidade, na busca da liberdade humana. Do espírito d’ A Águia aos propósitos da Renascença – o próprio nome do movimento é significativo –, o saudosismo seria, mais que uma tendência ou uma escola, uma característica do ser português. E é precisamente no encontro dessa especificidade que Pascoaes busca a valorização da sua pátria, como cidadão. Pela tradição, pela saudade, por uma espiritualidade cívica ou laica, o poeta que através da memória transformou a morte em vida e a ausência em presença, revestiu de religiosidade todos os seres, as coisas, a sua aldeia, a sua pátria. O seu espírito interventivo, pela poética, ganharia sentido metafísico, ousando levar os portugueses rumo a novas Índias espirituais.

Taking into account the quantum nature and the spatial propagation of light, we analyze interactions involving few-photon pulses. We demonstrate that this system can be used for the generation of nonclassical states of light including trains of single photons with an avoided volume between them, for implementing photon-photon quantum gates, as well as for studying many-body phenomena with strongly correlated photons.

Characterization of aerosol particles at low temperatures in a bath gas cooling cell and Bessel beam optical trap
Creators: name: Isenor, Merrill
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis focuses on low temperature studies of ensembles of aerosol particles formed in a bath gas cooling cell (78 K) and of single aerosol particles trapped in a counter-propagating Bessel beam optical trap (228-260 K). Ensemble particle measurements provide average data for all particles within the ensemble. These measurements are directly applicable to the study of clouds and aerosols in the atmospheres of a variety of planets and moons. Conversely, single particle measurements offer insight into behaviours which may be dependent on a particular particle property, such as particle size. Single particle data complement that obtained from ensemble measurements. The ensemble particle studies are performed with rapid-scan Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to determine intrinsic particle properties (size, shape, composition, and architecture) and the temporal evolution of these properties. The assignments based on infrared spectra are supported by calculations using the vibrational exciton model. In this work, several mixed water aerosol ensembles are considered: carbon dioxide-water, ammonia-water, and acetylene-water aerosols. Each of these aerosol systems have relevance to the atmospheres of planets and moons (e.g. Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Enceladus ). All three mixtures are studied under similar pressure and temperature conditions. While ammonia-water and acetylene-water are found to form molecularly mixed particles, there is no evidence of molecular mixing in carbon dioxide-water aerosol particles. Measurements are performed at low temperatures to study the freezing and evaporation of single aerosol particles. Our new experimental setup consists of a counter-propagating Bessel beam optical trap for trapping of micron and submicron sized particles down to temperatures of 223 K. The measurements in this thesis present the first freezing studies of single particles into the submicron size range. A series of freezing studies for supercooled liquid hexadecane, dodecane, and water particles are presented here, along with preliminary evaporation experiments for supercooled hexadecane droplets. These measurements show that the low temperature trap is an attractive device to study freezing and evaporation of single particles.
The effects of grain shape and frustration in a granular column near jamming

description: We investigate the full phase diagram of a column of grains near jamming, as a function of varying levels of frustration. Frustration is modelled by the effect of two opposing fields on a grain, due respectively to grains above and below it. The resulting four dynamical regimes (ballistic, logarithmic, activated and glassy) are characterised by means of the jamming time of zero-temperature dynamics, and of the statistics of attractors reached by the latter. Shape effects are most pronounced in the cases of strong and weak frustration, and essentially disappear around a mean-field point.

Effect of water matrix on Vacuum UV process for the removal of organic micropollutants in surface water
Creators: name: Duca, Clara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: UV-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) have been demonstrated as effective technologies for the removal of micropollutants in water. One promising UV-AOP is Vacuum UV (VUV), which relies on the formation of hydroxyl radicals (HO•) by the photolysis of water induced by VUV photons. TiO₂/UV photocatalysis is another promising AOP. Both VUV and UV photocatalysis are greatly affected by the water matrix, inorganic ions and natural organic matter (NOM). Water constituents can absorb the UV and VUV radiations, they can act as HO• radicals scavengers, and can produce radicals when photolyzed. The main objective of this research was to study the effects of water matrix on the efficiency of VUV for the degradation of micropollutants (with atrazine as a model contaminant). First, the absorbance of radiation at 254 nm and 185 nm was measured in the presence of different ions and NOM. All the inorganic ions showed a molar absorption coefficient equal to zero at 254 nm except nitrate with a ɛ= 3.51 M−¹ cm−¹. On the other hand, at 185 nm all the ions absorbed 185 nm radiation, with chloride showing the highest absorption coefficient ɛ=2791 M−¹ cm−¹. NOM showed a high absorption coefficient at both 254 and 185 nm ranging from 116 to 638 M−¹ cm−¹ at 254 and from 1137 to 1537 M−¹ cm−¹ at 185 nm). Second, the HO• scavenging effects of different components were evaluated; nitrate showed a detrimental effect both with UV/H₂O₂ and with VUV. The presence of 50 ppm of bicarbonate reduced the degradation rate of atrazine considerably. Sulfate seemed to photolyze at 185 nm to form HO•. NOM was found to be a strong HO• scavenger : in the presence of 9 ppm (DOC) NOM, less than 1% of the HO radicals were available to react with atrazine. The next component of this work involved developing a method for the measurement of quantum yield of atrazine at 185 nm. This allowed to measure the degradation of atrazine due to photolysis only. Finally, this research investigated the combination of VUV with TiO₂/UV. The results showed that incorporating photocatalysis cannot improve significantly the efficacy of VUV.

description: O Inventário Artístico do Patriarcado de Lisboa é o mais antigo instrumento museológico de inventariação do vasto e valiosíssimo património da Igreja em Portugal. Concebido por uma equipa de excepção – constituída por Carlos de Azevedo (1918-55), D. João de Castro (1908-2000) e José Bénard Guedes Salgado (1931- ) – foi resultado de um conjunto de interesses e saberes que encontraram no movimento de renovação litúrgica e artística e na política de formação dos religiosos e de consolidação do papel da Igreja na sociedade portuguesa, desenvolvida durante o arcebispado de D. Manuel Cerejeira, um terreno fértil. Através das biografias técnicas das três personagens mencionadas e do recurso a documentação inédita sobre a Comissão de Arte Sacra do Patriarcado de Lisboa procurarei responder a três questões: o que é o inventário, quem o fez e com que propósito.

description: We present SuperWASP observations of HAT-P-14b, a hot Jupiter discovered by Torres et al. The planet was found independently by the SuperWASP team and named WASP-27b after follow-up observations had secured the discovery, but prior to the publication by Torres et al. Our analysis of HAT-P-14/WASP-27 is in good agreement with the values found by Torres et al. and we refine the parameters by combining our datasets. We also provide additional evidence against astronomical false positives. Due to the brightness of the host star, V = 10, HAT-P-14 is an attractive candidate for further characterisation observations. The planet has a high impact parameter, b = 0.907 +/- 0.004, and the primary transit is close to grazing. This could readily reveal small deviations in the orbital parameters indicating the presence of a third body in the system, which may be causing the small but significant orbital eccentricity, e = 0.095 +/- 0.011. The system geometry suggests that the planet narrowly fails to undergo a secondary eclipse. However, even a non-detection would tightly constrain the system parameters.

Challenges in the spectrochemical analysis of complex materials
Creators: name: Chen, Zhiwen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Raman and infrared spectroscopy offer characteristic molecular vibrational information that enables a rapid quantitative and qualitative analysis of many types of samples. Easy to operate and requiring little sample preparation, these techniques offer great potential for the classification and quantification of complex materials. The research described in this thesis has sought to apply vibrational spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis to tackle a variety of challenging analytical problems. In vitro fertilization has relied purely on embryo morphological appearance to select viable embryos. We explore the potential of Raman spectroscopy to profile embryo metabolism. By analyzing blank culture media, patient samples and bacteria spent media, we establish that Raman spectroscopy does not offer sufficient sensitivity to differentiate used culture media from control. Even using liquid core Teflon-AF 2400 fibre to enhance the Raman signal of aqueous solution, analytical information still lies beneath the sensitivity limit. Turning to a classification problem relative to variance on a larger scale, we investigate olive oil as a complex biomaterial. The adulteration of extra virgin olive oil with cheaper vegetable oils presents a serious food integrity problem. We demonstrate Raman spectroscopy can detect corn, canola, grape seed and walnut oil in extra virgin olive oils from various countries and cultivars, but only at levels greater than 20%. This contrasts with conclusions of many limited studies, suggesting Raman spectroscopy reliably detects a 5% adulterant. Our analysis shows that such high sensitivity relies on olive oils limited to a specific geographic region or cultivar. Bleached kraft pulps represent important economic resources. By referring to wet chemistry, we apply infrared spectroscopy to study alkaline treated bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp. Infrared spectroscopy shows how alkaline treatment modifies hardwood pulp structure. It also classifies bleached hardwood pulps based on species. Despite the natural biological variance presented by this material, we establish that spectroscopic analysis can accurately quantify the contents of hemicelluloses in a large variety of bleached kraft pulps (softwood, hardwood and their mixture) in industry.

description: El artículo analiza la introducción del culto a la virgen de Fátima en México, entre 1946 y 1957. A partir del análisis de los principales textos escritos en torno a esta devoción portuguesa, sostiene que en México, Fátima representó una renovación del culto mariano, y coadyuvó a que los católicos mexicanos insistieran en la defensa de la Iglesia contra los gobiernos anticlericales, que utilizaban la Constitución de 1917 como una constante amenaza sobre el clero y los creyentes. El artículo sostiene que el éxito de la virgen lusitana en México se debió a su identificación con la virgen de Guadalupe, la más importante advocación mariana mexicana, y a su vinculación con Roma. Se concluye que la devoción de Fátima fue una aportación de Portugal al catolicismo mexicano contemporáneo.

description: Genome-wide association studies provide good opportunities for studying the genetic basis of adaptive traits in wild populations. Yet, previous studies often failed to identify major effect genes. In this study, we used high-density single nucleotide polymorphism and individual fitness data from a wild non-model species. Using a whole-genome approach, we identified the MC1R gene as the sole causal gene underlying Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus fur colour. Further, we showed the adaptive importance of fur colour genotypes through measures of fitness that link ecological and evolutionary processes. We found a tendency for blue foxes that are heterozygous at the fur colour locus to have higher fitness than homozygous white foxes. The effect of genotype on fitness was independent of winter duration but varied with prey availability, with the strongest effect in years of increasing rodent populations. MC1R is located in a genomic region with high gene density, and we discuss the potential for indirect selection through linkage and pleiotropy. Our study shows that whole-genome analyses can be successfully applied to wild species and identify major effect genes underlying adaptive traits. Furthermore, we show how this approach can be used to identify knowledge gaps in our understanding of interactions between ecology and evolution.
Length distribution of myosin filaments in smooth muscle and implications in the structure and function of contractile units
Creators: name: Liu, Jeffrey Chao-Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Smooth muscle is an essential component of the walls of numerous hollow or tubular organs throughout the body, including blood vessels, airways, and the bladder. Proper physiological functioning of these organs relies heavily on the appropriate activation and contraction of the smooth muscle tissue. Pathophysiological conditions may arise from both excessive and insufficient smooth muscle contraction. Muscle function is closely associated with muscle structure. More specifically, during a contraction, cyclic interactions between myosin cross-bridges and actin filaments allow for muscle shortening and force generation. Myosin molecules from smooth muscle and non-muscle cells are known to self-assemble into side-polar filaments in vitro. However the in situ mechanism of filament assembly is not clear and the question of whether there is a unique length for myosin filaments in smooth muscle is still under debate. In this study we measured the lengths of 16,587 myosin filaments in three types of smooth muscle cells using serial electron microscopy (EM). Sheep airway and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle as well as rabbit carotid arterial smooth muscle were fixed for EM and serial ultra-thin (50-60 nm) sections were obtained. Myosin filaments were traced in consecutive sections to determine their lengths. The results indicate that there is not a single length for the myosin filaments; instead there is a wide variation in lengths. The plots of observation frequency versus myosin filament length follow an exponential decay pattern. The most significant finding of this study is that myosin filaments in smooth muscle do not have a uniform length and analysis suggests that the distribution of filament length is a result of a dynamic equilibrium between polymerization and de-polymerization of myosin molecules driven by predictable probabilities of the myosin dimers to bind with and dissociate from each other.

Os missionários não dispensavam acções públicas de elevado impacto como as procissões, via‑sacras e grandes concentrações. Após a Missão, os pregadores deixavam na paróquia vários elementos físicos e espirituais, que faziam perdurar na memória colectiva não só a doutrina, mas também o ambiente vivido; e procuravam que os fiéis se inscrevessem em determinadas obras pias, que os comprometessem no futuro com uma sadia militância cristã.

description: Infrared extinction maps and submillimeter dust continuum maps are powerful probes of the density structure in the envelope of star-forming cores. We make a direct comparison between infrared and submillimeter dust continuum observations of the low-mass Class 0 core, B335, to constrain the ratio of submillimeter to infrared opacity (\kaprat) and the submillimeter opacity power-law index ($κ\propto λ^{-β}$). Using the average value of theoretical dust opacity models at 2.2 \micron, we constrain the dust opacity at 850 and 450 \micron . Using new dust continuum models based upon the broken power-law density structure derived from interferometric observations of B335 and the infall model derived from molecular line observations of B335, we find that the opacity ratios are $\frac{κ_{850}}{κ_{2.2}} = (3.21 - 4.80)^{+0.44}_{-0.30} \times 10^{-4}$ and $\frac{κ_{450}}{κ_{2.2}} = (12.8 - 24.8)^{+2.4}_{-1.3} \times 10^{-4}$ with a submillimeter opacity power-law index of $β_{smm} = (2.18 - 2.58)^{+0.30}_{-0.30}$. The range of quoted values are determined from the uncertainty in the physical model for B335. For an average 2.2 \micron\ opacity of $3800 \pm 700$ cm$^2$g$^{-1}$, we find a dust opacity at 850 and 450 \micron\ of $κ_{850} = (1.18 - 1.77)^{+0.36}_{-0.24}$ and $κ_{450} = (4.72 - 9.13)^{+1.9}_{-0.98}$ cm$^2$g$^{-1}$ of dust. These opacities are from $(0.65 - 0.97) κ^{\rm{OH}5}_{850}$ of the widely used theoretical opacities of Ossenkopf and Henning for coagulated ice grains with thin mantles at 850\micron.

description: We present an analysis comparing the properties of 45 giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M33 and the atomic hydrogen (HI) with which they are associated. High-resolution VLA observations are used to measure the properties of HI in the vicinity of GMCs and in regions where GMCs have not been detected. The majority of molecular clouds coincide with a local peak in the surface density of atomic gas, though 7% of GMCs in the sample are not associated with high-surface density atomic gas. The mean HI surface density in the vicinity of GMCs is 10 M_sol/pc^2 and tends to increase with GMC mass as Sigma_HI ~ M_GMC^0.27. 39 of the 45 HI regions surrounding GMCs have linear velocity gradients of ~0.05 km/s/pc. If the linear gradients previously observed in the GMCs result from rotation, then 53% are counterrotating with respect to the local HI. If the linear gradients in these local HI regions are also from rotation, 62% are counterrotating with respect to the galaxy. If magnetic braking reduced the angular momentum of GMCs early in their evolution, the angular velocity of GMCs would be roughly one order of magnitude lower than what is observed. Based on our observations, we consider the possibility that GMCs may not be rotating. Atomic gas not associated with GMCs has gradients closer to 0.03 km/s/pc, suggesting that events occur during the course of GMC evolution that may increase the shear in the atomic gas.

description: Procura‑se traçar a história do processo de inventariação e arrecadação das livrarias e dos cartórios dos mais de 150 mosteiros e conventos femininos portugueses que se foram extinguindo após a legislação publicada na terceira década do séc. XIX. O processo teve lugar entre 1887 e 1908 e foi coordenado pela Inspecção‑Geral das Bibliotecas e Arquivos. Compara‑se com o processo homólogo dos seus congéneres masculinos, ocorrido imediatamente após 1834, e procura‑se responder às perguntas: Quem arrecadava e como? Qual o rigor do processo? Que livros existiam e o que se lia nos conventos femininos? Abordam‑se ainda as irregularidades e os descaminhos ocorridos, bem como o destino dado a outros bens móveis dos conventos femininos, designadamente, objectos artísticos, objectos litúrgicos e de culto, mobiliário e outros.

H2+ embedded in a Debye plasma: Electronic and vibrational properties

description: The effect of plasma screening on the electronic and vibrational properties of the H2+ molecular ion was analyzed within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. When a molecule is embedded in a plasma, the plasma screens the electrostatic interactions. This screening is accounted for in the Schrödinger equation by replacing the Coulomb potentials with Yukawa potentials that incorporate the Debye length as a screening parameter. Variational expansions in confocal elliptical coordinates were used to calculate energies of the 1ssg and the 2psu states over a range of Debye lengths and bond distances. When the Debye length is comparable to the equilibrium bond distance, the plasma screening reshapes the potential energy curve. Expectation values, dipole polarizabilities and spectroscopic constants were calculated for the 1ssg state.

description: Sickle cell disease patients commonly present to an emergency department (ED) due to acute vaso-occlusive pain episodes (VOEs), also known as vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs). Unsatisfactory patient care leads to preventable morbidity, mortality, and substantial financial costs. This study investigated the current use of sickle cell disease patient-directed physician education (PDPE) in the clinical setting and also explored opportunities for improvement. A qualitative phenomenologic design was used with semi-structured in-depth interviews. Open-ended questions were used to probe participant’s experiences with EDs, the feasibility of a PDPE program as well as barriers and facilitators to PDPE. A total of nine patients and eight physicians participated in the study. Three major themes were identified: divergent challenges to patient recommendations, new targets for sickle cell disease education and triage process: not heard and not seen. Numerous challenges exist to the implementation and optimization of PDPE with sickle cell disease triage processes and nursing support identified as influential factors. Paramount to the process of improving PDPE is physicians perceiving patients as credible sources of information, especially as it relates to generalized concerns of opioid dosing. A patient provided written or digital education tool can be considered to facilitate PDPE to ease communication strain on patients while increasing communication efficiency.
O Centro Católico Português e a revisão da Lei Moura Pinto (1919 -1926): o debate interno na Igreja Católica
Creators: name: Almeida, João Miguel
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2011

description: O decreto 3.856, de 22 de Fevereiro de 1918, será a principal referência das discussões acerca da revisão da Lei da Separação na República do Pós‑Grande Guerra. A chamada Lei Moura Pinto dividirá o campo católico entre aqueles que pensam que deve servir de ponto de partida para uma revisão da Lei da Separação de 1911 e os que vêem nela apenas uma variante da Lei da Separação com a qual é preciso romper. O presente artigo aborda o debate interno na Igreja Católica acerca da questão e as posições diferenciadas dos bispos portugueses. No campo republicano as posições divergem entre os que querem melhorar a Lei Moura Pinto num sentido mais favorável à Igreja Católica e os que lutam pela reposição da «intangível» Lei da Separação de 20 de Abril de 1911. Pelas razões que identificaremos, o entendimento informal entre o Estado português e a hierarquia católica na República do pós Grande Guerra não se traduz numa revisão da Lei da Separação que consolide as relações entre o Estado republicano e a Igreja Católica.

Synchronized formation of starburst and poststarburst galaxies in merging clusters of galaxies

description: We propose that synchronized triggering of star formation in gas-rich galaxies is possible during major mergers of cluster of galaxies, based on new numerical simulations of the time evolution of the physical properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) during such a merger event. Our numerical simulations show that the external pressure of the ICM in which cluster member galaxies are embedded, can increase significantly during cluster merging. As such, efficient star formation can be triggered in gas-rich members as a result of the strong compression of their cold gas by the increased pressure. We also suggest that these star-forming galaxies can subsequently be transformed into poststarburst galaxies, with their spatial distribution within the cluster being different to the rest of its population. We discuss whether this possible merger-induced enhancement in the number of star-forming and post-star-forming cluster galaxies is consistent with the observed evolution of galaxies in merging clusters.

Year: 2011

description: Este texto apresenta uma leitura das relações entre a Igreja Católica e o Estado na região de Leiria durante o período da Primeira República, nomeadamente quanto à Lei da Separação, a partir dos textos do jornal católico O Mensageiro. São identificados os principais traços da acção do Estado e dos agentes republicanos, bem como das reacções mais evidentes da Igreja e dos cristãos. É apresentado o exemplo dos acontecimentos de 1917 em Fátima, importante teste às relações entre as autoridades civis e a hierarquia católica. Conclui-se ter existido um ambiente relativamente pacífico na região, apesar das permanentes trocas de acusações: a Igreja queixando-se de perseguição, o Estado exigindo mais obediência.

description: The design of some optical devices such as semiconductor optical amplifiers for telecommunication applications requires polarization-insensitive optical emission at the long wavelengths (1300-1550 nm). Self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) typically exhibit ground state optical emission at wavelengths shorter than 1300 nm with highly polarization-sensitive characteristics, although this can be modified by using low growth rates, the incorporation of strain-reducing capping layers or growth of closely-stacked QD layers. Exploiting the strain interactions between closely stacked QD layers also allows greater freedom in the choice of growth conditions for the upper layers, so that both a significant extension in their emission wavelength and an improved polarization response can be achieved due to modification of the QD size, strain and composition. In this paper we investigate the polarization behavior of single and stacked QD layers using room temperature sub-lasing-threshold electroluminescence and photovoltage measurements as well as atomistic modeling with the NEMO 3-D simulator. A reduction is observed in the ratio of the transverse electric (TE) to transverse magnetic (TM) optical mode response for a GaAs-capped QD stack compared to a single QD layer, but when the second layer of the two-layer stack is InGaAs-capped an increase in the TE/TM ratio is observed, in contrast to recent reports for single QD layers.
