Open AccessComparison of “IN-REC-SUR-E” and LISA in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome: a randomized controlled trial (IN-REC-LISA trial)
Surfactant is a well-established therapy for preterm neonates affected by respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The goals of different methods of surfactant administration are to reduce the duration of mechanic...

Nano-machining of biosensor electrodes through gold nanoparticles deposition produced by femtosecond laser ablation
We report an application of femtosecond laser ablation to improve the sensitivity of biosensors based on a quartz crystal microbalance device. The nanoparticles produced by irradiating a gold target with 527-...

Influence of film thickness on topology and related magnetic interactions in Fe nanoparticle films
Fe nanoparticle (NP)-assembled thin films with different thickness were prepared by femtosecond-pulsed laser deposition using different deposition times. The proper selection of the deposition time allows to c...

Ultra-fast laser ablation and deposition of TiO2
In this work we report on the properties of the ablation plume and the characteristics of the films produced by ultra-fast pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of TiO2 in vacuum. Ablation was induced by using pulses wit...

Improved structural ordering in sexithiophene thick films grown on single crystal oxide substrates
We report on sexithiophene films, about 150-nm thick, grown by thermal evaporation on single-crystal oxides and, as comparison, on Si/SiO2. By heating the entire deposition chamber at 100°C we obtain standing-up ...

Peculiar properties of nanogranular NixSi100-x magnetic films obtained by ultrashort pulsed laser deposition
The use of ultrashort laser pulses enables the deposition of films composed of mono-component nanoparticles exhibiting similar shape and size. Films made of nickel (Ni) and silicon (Si) nanoparticles have been...

Infrared femtosecond laser ablation of graphite in high vacuum probed by optical emission spectroscopy
We report infrared, ultra-short (780 nm, 120 fs) laser ablation of graphite in high vacuum. The plume characteristics are analyzed by wavelength-, time-, and spatially resolved optical emission spectroscopy. A...

Magnetic and structural properties of nanocomposite Co-Ni-Cr-Al-Y-N thin films
The relation between structural and magnetic properties of Co-Ni-Cr-Al-Y-N thin films deposited by reactive r.f. magnetron sputtering was investigated. A marked change in the magnetic behaviour of the films wi...

Influence of particle pre-orientation on elastomagnetic effect in a composite material of ellipsoidal Ni microparticles in a silicone matrix
The dependence of the elastomagnetic effect on the orientation of Ni ellipsoidal microparticles dispersed in a silicone matrix is investigated. When a volume strain is produced on the composite material in a f...

Magnetic, magnetoelastic and structural properties of Co82 P18, Fe80B13 Si4C3 and Fe73.5 Cu1Nb3 Si15.5B7 amorphous ribbons after consecutive heat cycles in vacuum
Amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons, with basic differences in production technique, in thermal stability and devetrification modality, were investigated to compare some of their magnetic, magnetoelastic and struc...
