Open AccessProspects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years, with the intention of providi...

Open AccessLarge-order NSPT for lattice gauge theories with fermions: the plaquette in massless QCD
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) allows for perturbative computations in quantum field theory. We present an implementation of NSPT that yields results for high orders in the perturbative expans...

Sorption of water–ethanol mixtures by poplar wood: swelling and viscoelastic behaviour
The swelling of wood upon impregnation by aqueous solutions of organic solvents is larger than swelling by pure water. This phenomenon, described as “hyperswelling”, results from specific interactions with com...

Open AccessHigh-loop perturbative renormalization constants for Lattice QCD (III): three-loop quark currents for Iwasaki gauge action and \(n_f=4\) Wilson fermions
This is the third of a series of papers on three-loop computation of renormalization constants for Lattice QCD. Our main points of interest are results for the regularization defined by the Iwasaki gauge actio...

High-loop perturbative renormalization constants for Lattice QCD (II): three-loop quark currents for tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action and n f =2 Wilson fermions
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory was able to get three- (and even four-) loop results for finite Lattice QCD renormalization constants. More recently, a conceptual and technical framework has been devi...

Condensation enthalpies of n-hexane in micelle-templated mesoporous silicas
The isosteric enthalpies of adsorption of n-hexane on ordered mesoporous silica of pore diameter between 3 and 10 nm have been measured. The heat of capillary condensation increases when mesopores are smaller. Ca...

FT-IR characterization of Al-rich Li-, Na- and Ca-HMS
Starting from a micelle-templated material with Si/Al = 2.5 in the H form, three samples have been obtained by means of partial cationic exchange, with LiCl, NaCl and CaCl2 alcoholic solutions. Their surface prop...

High-loop perturbative renormalization constants for lattice QCD (I): finite constants for Wilson quark currents
We present a high order perturbative computation of the renormalization constants ZV, ZA and of the ratio ZP/ZS for Wilson fermions. The computational setup is the one provided by the RI’-MOM scheme. Three- and f...

Inverse Systems – Nanoporous Solids
Many natural materials are characterised by an inorganic framework, generally negatively charged, containing cavities, cages, or tunnels in which inorganic (charge-balancing) cations and/or water molecules are...

Nanoporous Media
This chapter is concerned with ways of synthesising nanoporous solids, and in particular materials with a very narrow pore size distribution. Two main families of solids are relevant here: crystalline micropor...

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE STATE OF HEXANE IN A CONFINED GEOMETRY
Literature data about hysteresis closure points of sorption isotherms has been summarized and it was shown that these points are located in one half of the (1-T/Tc, P/P°) plan. Below the limiting straight line, n...

Control of Crystal Size and Morphology of Mordenite
The shape and size of the crystals of mordenite, as well as the Si/Al ratio, have implications as regards industrial applications in hydrocarbon conversion and separation. The ratio between the incorporation y...

Study of the sorption and acidic properties of MTW-type zeolite
The acidity of H-MTW-type zeolite has been investigated using infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. Pore volume has been measured by nitrogen andn-hexane adsorption. The zeolite exhibits infrared signals at...

Thermal stability of substituted poly-xylylenes
The insertion of meta units in the chain of poly-p-xylylene decreases both the onset temperature of oxidative degradation and the rate of decomposition.
