Formation of Atomic Carbon Chains from Graphene Nanoribbons
The formation of one-dimensional carbon chains from graphene nanoribbons is
investigated using it ab initio molecular dynamics. We show under what
conditions it is possible to obtain a linear atomic chain via pulling of the
graphene nanoribbons. The presence of dimers composed of two-coordinated carbon
atoms at the edge of the ribbons is necessary for the formation of the linear
chains, otherwise there is simply the full rupture of the structure. The
presence of Stone-Wales defects close to these dimers may lead to the formation
of longer chains. The local atomic configuration of the suspended atoms
indicates the formation of single and triple bonds, which is a characteristic
of polyynes.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Concepciones previas sobre los procesos y contextos educativos entre aspirantes a profesores de ciencias en educación secundaria
La formación inicial del profesorado de enseñanza secundaria se encuentra en un proceso de cambio en el que resulta necesario seguir investigando sobre todos aquellos aspectos que puedan ayudar a mejorar los nuevos programas de formación. Por ello consideramos conveniente explorar las ideas de los futuros profesores de ciencias sobre los procesos y contextos cognitivos relacionados con el ejercicio de la docencia en educación secundaria y diseñar procesos de formación que tengan en cuenta tales concepciones. En esta línea hemos realizado un estudio, entre futuros profesores de ciencias en formación, donde podemos destacar que muchos sujetos muestran ideas sobre la educación científica próximas al enfoque constructivista y al mismo tiempo presentan una visión pesimista del contexto en el que se desarrolla la actividad del profesorado de enseñanza secundaria
Mentoring Entrepreneurial Networks : mapping conceptions of participants in technological-based business incubators in Brazil
La agenda de la investigación reciente sobre emprendedores incluye el análisis de las estructuras cognitivas de los empresarios de éxito, revelándose como una herramienta importante a la hora de examinar una trayectoria emprendedora. Mediante técnicas de mapas cognitivos, este estudio explora los conceptos de una trayectoria de éxito y la red en sí misma como un todo, para el desarrollo de esta carrera. Fueron estudiados 53 empresarios en siete viveros tecnológicos de la ciudad de Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. El objetivo específico de este estudio era situar los significados comunes de los emprendedores del vivero teniendo en cuenta las redes de apoyo informal. Este tipo de redes ofrecen apoyo a la carrera empresarial, y el presente estudio examina tanto las características como el modelo conceptual que subyace bajo éstas. La recolección de datos fue realizada por medio de entrevistas a través de la técnica de evocación libre. Los significados comunes indican la existencia de categorías de pensamiento inherentes que fomentan el contexto de la red en el entorno del vivero, especialmente en las redes-mentor. Los resultados refuerzan la interpretación de un modelo mentor informal que emerge de las evocaciones predominantes respecto a una carrera de éxito y de la red en sí misma como promotora de su desarrollo.The recent entrepreneurship research agenda includes the analysis of cognitive structures of successful entrepreneurs, revealing an important tool for the examination of an entrepreneurial career. Using techniques of cognitive maps, this study explores the concepts of a successful career and the network itself, as a whole, for career development. Fifty-three entrepreneurs were studied, in seven technological incubators in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Specifically, this study aimed to map the shared meanings of the incubated entrepreneurs regarding informal support networks. Such networks support the entrepreneurial career and the present study explores the characteristics and the conceptual model that underlies the networks. The data collection was achieved through interviews through a free evocation technique. The shared meanings indicate the existence of inherent thought categories that support network context in the incubator environment, mainly the mentoring networks. The results endorse the interpretation of an informal mentoring model emerging from the dominant evocations concerning a successful career and of the network itself as promoter of career development
Ejection force of tubular injection moldings. Part II : a prediction model
The integrated knowledge of the injection molding process
and the material changes induced by processing is
essential to guarantee the quality of technical parts. In
the case of parts with deep cavities, quite often the
ejection phase of the molding cycle is critical. Thus, in
the mold design stage, the aspects associated with the
ejection system will require special consideration. In
particular, the prediction of the ejection force will contribute
to optimizing the mold design and to guarantee
the integrity of the moldings. In this work, a simulation
algorithm based on a thermomechanical model is described
and their predictions are compared with experimental
data obtained from a fully-instrumented mold
(pressure, temperature, and force). Three common thermoplastics
polymers were used for the tubular moldings:
a semicrystalline polypropylene and two amorphous
thermoplastics: polystyrene and polycarbonate.
The thermomechanical model is based on the assumption
of the polymer behavior changing from purely viscous
to purely elastic below a transition point. This point
corresponds to solidification determined by temperature
in the case of amorphous materials and by critical crystallinity
for semicrystalline polymers. The model results
for the ejection force closely agree with the experimental
data for the three materials used
