Despite its frequent use, there is little understanding of the concept of differential
among upper high school and undergraduate students of physics. As a first step to identify the origin of this situation and to revert it, we have done…

The electrochemical oxidation of the aniline dimers 2-aminodiphenylamine (2-adpa) and 4-aminodiphenylamine (4-adpa) has been
performed in strongly acidic medium on platinum, graphite, and indium tin oxide electrodes. The resulting films have been
characterized by a number of electrochemical, microscopic, and…

The redox process undergone by the electrochemically synthesized poly(2,2-dithiodianiline), poly(DTDA), has been examined in
acetonitrile-water mixtures by electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic properties of this material are equivalent to those exhibited by the chemically synthesized one. The polymeric structure…

Aniline (ANI) and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (2ATA) copolymers, with different compositions, were prepared by
chemical oxidative polymerization varying the feed ratio. The new materials have been characterized by techniques such
as XPS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopies and thermal analysis. It has been…

This paper deals with the non-linear oscillation of a simple pendulum and presents an approach for solving the non-linear differential equation that governs its movement by using the harmonic balance method. With this technique it is possible to easily obtain…

The effect of adding Sn to Pt/CeO2–Al2O3 and Pt/Al2O3 catalysts was studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), 119Sn Mössbauer
spectroscopy, and adsorption microcalorimetry of CO at room temperature. Catalysts were reduced in situ at 473 (non-SMSI state) and 773 K

The intra- and interspecific variability in the West Palaearctic tibialis-group species of the subgenus Pandasyopthalmus (Diptera: Syrphidae: Paragus) was analysed. Novel immature and molecular characters were studied and the traditionally used adult characters reviewed with the aim of establishing the…

The article was first published in the Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal.

The homotopy perturbation method is used to solve the nonlinear differential equation that governs the nonlinear oscillations of a simple pendulum, and an approximate expression for its period is obtained. Only one iteration leads to high accuracy of the solutions…

Two styrene–bTwo styrene–butadiene–styrene block rubbers, one with 10wt% calcium carbonate filler (S6C), and one without (S6) were surface treated with UV radiation. The resulting surface modifications and adhesion properties with polyurethane adhesive were studied. The surface modifications produced on these…
