Isolation of the relative decrease in magnetic permeability contribution to reluctance of an open magnetic circuit based on stray field measurements
PublicationThe goal of the study was to evaluate a relative decrease in magnetic permeability in open magnetic circuits based on stray magnetic field measurements. The boundary element method was used to simulate magnetic circuits with variable geometry and variable magnetic permeability. The simulated magnetic circuits were rectangular or bone-shaped flat samples. Reluctance was increased in the middle of the samples resulting in leakage...

Chemical Pressure Tuning Magnetism from Pyrochlore to Triangular Lattices
PublicationGeometrically frustrated lattices combined with magnetism usually host quantum fluctuations that suppress magnetic orders and generate highly entangled ground states. Three-dimensionally (3D) frustrated magnets generally exist in the diamond and pyrochlore lattices, while two-dimensionally (2D) frustrated geometries contain Kagomé, triangular, and honeycomb lattices. In this work, we reported using chemical pressure to tune the magnetism...

BODIPY‐Perylene Charge Transfer Compounds; Sensitizers for Triplet‐Triplet Annihilation Up‐conversion
PublicationBODIPY heterochromophores, asymmetrically substituted with perylene and/or iodine at the 2 and 6 positions were prepared and investigated as sensitizers for triplet-triplet annihilation up conversion (TTA-UC). Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses show that the torsion angle between BODIPY and perylene units lie between 73.54 and 74.51, though they are not orthogonal. Both compounds show intense, charge transfer absorption...

Optimization of condition for demineralization Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) backbone
PublicationKręgosłupy dorsza bałtyckiego (Gadus morhua) są alternatywnym źródłem kolagenu. Aby uzyskać z nich natywny niezanieczyszczony kolagen należy usunąć z nich białka mięśniowe i sole mineralne. Obecność tych związków pogarsza funkcjonalne właściwości preparatu kolagenowego. Dlatego celem pracy było opracowanie optymalnych parametrów demineralizacji kręgosłupów dorsza. Najlepszy efekt demineralizacji, nieomal 100%, przy stratach tylko...

The influence of hydrophobic substances on water vapor permeability of fish gelatin films modified with transglutaminase or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)
PublicationFolie z niemodyfikowanej, a także usieciowanej enzymatycznie (transglutaminazą) lub chemicznie (EDC) żelatyny rybnej wykazują nadmierną przepuszczalność pary wodnej. Polepszenie właściwości barierowych w stosunku do wody uzyskano poprzez wprowadzenie w struktury folii substancji hydrofobowych. Dodatek oleju z amarantusa lub wosku pszczelego spowodował zmniejszenie WVP folii o ok. 20-90% w zależności od stężenia tych substancji...
