TL;DR: In the last decade, the mercury concentration in air over the Idrija region, where the world's second largest Hg mine is located, decreased significantly from more than 20,000 ǫm −3 in the early 1970s to values below 100 m −3 or even lower at the summer of the year 2004 as discussed by the authors.

16 Mar 2015TL;DR: The electrocaloric effect (ECE) is a physical phenomenon found in materials with dipolar constituents, that is, with certain dielectric properties as mentioned in this paper, which is manifested in the heating or cooling of an electro-caloric material due to the applied electric field under adiabatic conditions.
Abstract: The electrocaloric effect (ECE) is a physical phenomenon found in materials with dipolar constituents, that is, with certain dielectric properties. It is manifested in the heating or cooling of an electrocaloric material due to the applied electric field under adiabatic conditions. Electrocaloric effect has been known for many decades; however, the relatively small ECE observed below 2.5 K made it unsuitable for practical applications. Recently, however, materials with large ECE have been predicted and discovered, thus opening the possibility of realizing dielectric refrigeration that has several potential advantages in comparison with other cooling technologies. This chapter provides an extensive introduction to the field, including the basic theory of the electrocaloric phenomenon in ferroelectric, relaxor ferroelectric, and antiferroelectric materials. In addition, a review of various ECE experimental techniques, including indirect and direct experimental techniques, is given together with examples of recent findings obtained in polymeric, perovskite ceramic relaxor, and ferroelectric materials. An overview of various possibilities of the application of the ECE, the comparison with thermoelectric and magnetoelectric materials, and the state of the art of the cooling/heating devices is also presented.

TL;DR: The results show that PLGA NPs are a useful carrier system for rapid delivery of protein inhibitors into tumor cells, enabling effective inhibition of intracellular proteolysis and the approach can be applied to other protein drugs active against intrACEllular targets.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the solution of a self-interacting Pais-Uhlenbeck (PU) oscillator is stable on islands in the parameter space, as already observed in the literature.
Abstract: It is shown that the interacting Pais–Uhlenbeck (PU) oscillator necessarily leads to a description with a Hamiltonian that contains positive and negative energies associated with two oscillators. Descriptions with a positive definite Hamiltonians, considered by some authors, can hold only for a free PU oscillator. We demonstrate that the solutions of a self-interacting PU oscillator are stable on islands in the parameter space, as already observed in the literature. If we slightly modify the system, by considering a sine interaction term, and/or by taking unequal masses of the two oscillators, then the system is stable on the continents that extend from zero to infinity in the parameter space. Therefore, the PU oscillator is quite acceptable physical system.
