- An option of increasing the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN to 1035 cm-2 s-1 has been envisaged to extend the physics reach of the machine. An efficient tracking down to a few centimetres from the interaction point will be required to exploit the physics potential of the upgraded LHC. As a consequence, the semiconductor detectors close to the interaction region will receive severe doses of fast hadron irradiation and the inner tracker detectors will need to survive fast hadron fluences of up to above 1016cm-2. The CERN-RD50 project "Development of Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for Very High Luminosity Colliders" has been established in 2002 to explore detector materials and technologies that will allow to operate devices up to, or beyond, this limit. The strategies followed by RD50 to enhance the radiation tolerance include the development of new or defect engineered detector materials (SiC, GaN, Czochralski and epitaxial silicon, oxygen enriched Float Zone silicon), the improvement of present detector designs and the understanding of the microscopic defects causing the degradation of the irradiated detectors. The latest advancements within the RD50 collaboration on radiation hard semiconductor detectors will be reviewed and discussed in this work.

Considerations and consequences of allowing DNA sequence data as types of fungal taxa
- 2018

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity). Two proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region and extent) to serve as types of taxon names for voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from environmental DNA sequences), have been submitted to be voted on at the 11th International Mycological Congress (Puerto Rico, July 2018). We consider various genetic processes affecting the distribution of alleles among taxa and find that alleles may not consistently and uniquely represent the species within which they are contained. Should the proposals be accepted, the meaning of nomenclatural types would change in a fundamental way from physical objects as sources of data to the data themselves. Such changes are conducive to irreproducible science, the potential typification on artefactual data, and massive creation of names with low information content, ultimately causing nomenclatural instability and unnecessary work for future researchers that would stall future explorations of fungal diversity. We conclude that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way. As an alternative, we highlight the use of formulas for naming putative taxa (candidate taxa) that do not require any modification of the ICN.

Annotating public fungal ITS sequences from the built environment according to the MIxS-Built Environment standard – a report from a May 23-24, 2016 workshop (Gothenburg, Sweden)

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent molecular studies have identified substantial fungal diversity in indoor environments. Fungi and fungal particles have been linked to a range of potentially unwanted effects in the built environment, including asthma, decay of building materials, and food spoilage. The study of the built mycobiome is hampered by a number of constraints, one of which is the poor state of the metadata annotation of fungal DNA sequences from the built environment in public databases. In order to enable precise interrogation of such data – for example, “retrieve all fungal sequences recovered from bathrooms” – a workshop was organized at the University of Gothenburg (May 23-24, 2016) to annotate public fungal barcode (ITS) sequences according to the MIxS-Built Environment annotation standard (http://gensc.org/mixs/). The 36 participants assembled a total of 45,488 data points from the published literature, including the addition of 8,430 instances of countries of collection from a total of 83 countries, 5,801 instances of building types, and 3,876 instances of surface-air contaminants. The results were implemented in the UNITE database for molecular identification of fungi (http://unite.ut.ee) and were shared with other online resources. Data obtained from human/animal pathogenic fungi will furthermore be verified on culture based metadata for subsequent inclusion in the ISHAM-ITS database (http://its.mycologylab.org).

A polymer photodiode using vapour-phase polymerized PEDOT as an anode

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report the photovoltaic properties of devices made using a highly conducting polymer electrode, from vapor-phase polymd. poly (3,4-ethylenedioxy) thiophene (VPP PEDOT) on glass substrate as an anode and a polyfluorene copolymer poly[2,7-(9,9-dioctyl-fluorene)-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2thienyl-2',1'3'-benzothiadiazole)] (APFO-3) mixed with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methylester (PCBM) in the ratio of 1:4 as the active layer. The device performance was compared with that of devices made with PEDOT-PSS on glass substrates. The surfaces of VPP PEDOT were imaged using at. force microscopy (AFM). [on SciFinder (R)]

Structure and properties of Ba6 − xLnxNb10O30, Ln = La, Ce and Nd compounds
- 1997
-
In: Materials research bulletin. - 0025-5408 .- 1873-4227. ; 32:4, s. 409-419
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ba6 − xLnxNb10O30 compounds, Ln = La, Ce and Nd, with a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type structure have been synthesized and were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and EDS analysis. The homogeneity regions of the obtained compounds were found to be 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 for La, and 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5 for Ce and Nd. The crystal structures of Ba5LaNb10O30 and Ba4La2Nb10O30 were refined using X-ray powder diffraction data. Refinement indicated the presence of vacancies in the positions. This observation was supported by oxidation studies of the La-substituted compounds. The temperature dependence of the normalized resistivity of the compounds showed a nonmetallic behavior. The increase in the ratio with decreasing temperature is less distinct for the phases with the higher concentration of rare-earth cation.

Corrosion behaviour of friction stir-welded AA6005-T6 using a bobbin tool
- 2016
-
In: Corrosion Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 0010-938X. ; 111, s. 98-109
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The atmospheric corrosion of extruded AA6005-T6 weldments produced with bobbin friction stir welding (BFSW) using fast and slow process parameters has been analyzed. The weldments of the same material fabricated using conventional FSW were also exposed as reference. Copper-rich phase particles were detected at the grain boundaries in the stir zone of both specimens. It was evident that the BFSW specimens exhibit better corrosion behaviour than the specimens produced using the slow process parameters. An effort was made to carefully attribute the improved corrosion resistance of the fast BFSW specimens to the difference in the microstructure of the weldments. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The effect of multi-pass (100% overlap) friction stir processing (FSP) on the NaCl-induced atmospheric corrosion behavior of an extruded 6005-T6 aluminum alloy has been studied. Samples were contaminated with 70 and 200 mu g/cm(2) NaCl and exposed in the presence of 400 ppm CO2 for a time interval of 200-3200 h. The results showed that increasing the number of passes gives rise to several crucial changes in the microstructure of the processed regions. Gravimetric analyses and morphological inspections of the corroded samples revealed that multi-pass FSP has also a significant impact on the NaCl-induced atmospheric corrosion behavior of the FS processed samples. While increasing the number of FSP passes resulted in a reduced extent of pitting corrosion in the stir zone, it induced a significant pitting corrosion attack in the heat affected zone of the samples, which were shown to be linked to a reduction in the size of intermetallic particles in the stir zone of the multi-pass FSP specimens. The results also showed that the cathodic activity of intermetallic particles in this family of Al alloys is size-dependent. (C) The Author(s) 2016. Published by ECS.
