Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les matériaux hybrides organique/inorganiques ont reçu beaucoup d'attention ces dernières années dans les études des nanomatériaux. En effet, ils possèdent des propriétés physiques et chimiques uniques grâce aux effets synergiques de chaque composant. En particulier, les nanoparticules de silice (SiO2) présentent des caractéristiques intéressantes, comme une bonne stabilité chimique et thermique. Elles peuvent être préparées de différentes tailles et peuvent aussi être facilement fonctionnalisées. Les polymères conducteurs intrinsèques comme le polythiophène et la polyaniline (PANI) peuvent exister sous différents états d'oxydation et donc répondre à des stimuli extérieurs en changeant une de leur caractéristique (couleur, conductivité, etc...). La PANI est un polymère non-toxique, thermiquement stable et peu coûteux avec une conductivité relativement élevée qui a été utilisée comme film antistatique, matériel d'électrode, inhibiteur de corrosion et comme surface sensible de capteur. Depuis la découverte des polymères conducteurs en 1977, plusieurs travaux ont été effectués sur la préparation, la caractérisation et les applications de films polymériques construits à la surface de matériaux comme la silice. Parmi les différents types de composites existants, les particules de type cœur@coquille composées d'un cœur inorganique et d'une couronne de polymère sont les plus prometteurs. Dans cette étude, nous avons donc décidé de travailler sur la synthèse de composites cœur@coquille constitués d'une coquille de PANI et d'un cœur de particules de silice.Dans la littérature, en utilisant des protocoles expérimentaux similaires, deux morphologies très contradictoires ont été obtenues après la polymérisation par oxydation chimique d'aniline en présence de particules de silice : cœur@coquille et framboise (structure inversée avec la PANI comme cœur). Nous avons alors décidé de réexaminer la synthèse de PANI en présence de particules de silice. Pour cela, nous avons, dans un premier temps, synthétisé des particules de silice monodisperses de différentes tailles (300, 160 et 90 nm) par procédé Stöber. Nous avons ensuite réalisé la polymérisation chimique de l'aniline en présence de ces particules de silice dans des conditions contrôlées afin de promouvoir une adsorption des ions aniliniums en surface des particules. Différents paramètres expérimentaux ont été étudiés tels que la température, la concentration en réactifs, la taille des particules... Les résultats en termes de morphologie sont discutés en fonction de ces paramètres. Dans un second temps, nous avons fonctionnalisé la surface des particules de silice par un alcoxysilane afin de favoriser la polymérisation de l'aniline à la surface des particules. Ainsi, nous avons obtenu des structures SiO2@PANI avec une épaisseur de polymère contrôlable. La dernière partie de ce travail traite des premiers essais qui ont été réalisés afin d'utiliser ces composites SiO2@PANi pour des applications environnementales. Deux applications ont notamment été envisagées, l'adsorption de métaux pour l'aspect de particule et la détection de gaz pour les capacités conductrices de la PANI.

Download or read book Liquid Scripture written by Jeffrey S. Siker and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electronic Bible is here to stay‒‒packaged in software on personal computers, available as apps on tablets and cell phones. Increasingly, students look at glowing screens to consult the Bible in class, and congregants do the same in Bible study and worship. Jeffrey S. Siker asks, what difference does it make to our experience of Scripture if we no longer hold a book in our hands, if we again “scroll” through Scripture? How does the “flow” of electronic Scripture change our perception of the Bible’s authority and significance? Siker discusses the difference made when early Christians adopted the codex rather than the scroll and Gutenberg began the mass production of printed Bibles. He also reviews the latest research on how the reading brain processes digital texts and how churches use digital Bibles, including American Bible Society research and his own surveys of church leaders. Siker asks, does the proliferation of electronic translations reduce the perceived seriousness of Scripture? Does it promote an individualistic response to the Bible? How does the change from a physical Bible affect liturgical practice? His synthesis of the advantages and risks of the digitized Bible merit serious reflection in classrooms and churches alike.

Download or read book Creating Church Online written by Tim Hutchings and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online churches are internet-based Christian communities, pursuing worship, discussion, friendship, support, proselytization, and other key religious goals through computer-mediated communication. Hundreds of thousands of people are now involved with online congregations, generating new kinds of ritual, leadership, and community and new networks of global influence. Creating Church Online constructs a rich ethnographic account of the diverse cultures of online churches, from virtual worlds to video streams. This book also outlines the history of online churchgoing, from its origins in the 1980s to the present day, and traces the major themes of academic and Christian debate around this topic. Applying some of the leading current theories in the study of religion, media and culture to this data, Tim Hutchings proposes a new model of religious design in contexts of mediatization, and draws attention to digital networks, transformative third spaces and terrains of existential vulnerability. Creating Church Online advances our understanding of the significance and impact of digital media in the religious and social lives of its users, in search of new theoretical frameworks for digital religion.

Download or read book Computation and the Humanities written by Julianne Nyhan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the application of computing to cultural heritage and the discipline of Digital Humanities that formed around it. Digital Humanities research is transforming how the Human record can be transmitted, shaped, understood, questioned and imagined and it has been ongoing for more than 70 years. However, we have no comprehensive histories of its research trajectory or its disciplinary development. The authors make a first contribution towards remedying this by uncovering, documenting, and analysing a number of the social, intellectual and creative processes that helped to shape this research from the 1950s until the present day. By taking an oral history approach, this book explores questions like, among others, researchers’ earliest memories of encountering computers and the factors that subsequently prompted them to use the computer in Humanities research. Computation and the Humanities will be an essential read for cultural and computing historians, digital humanists and those interested in developments like the digitisation of cultural heritage and artefacts.

Download or read book Ancient Worlds in Digital Culture written by Claire Clivaz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume presents a selection of research projects in Digital Humanities applied to the “Biblical Studies” in the widest sense and context, including Early Jewish and Christian studies, hence the title “Ancient Worlds”. Taken as a whole, the volume explores the emergent Digital Culture at the beginning of the 21st century. It also offers many examples which attest to a change of paradigm in the textual scholarship of “Ancient Worlds”: categories are reshaped; textuality is (re-) investigated according to its relationships with orality and visualization; methods, approaches and practices are no longer a fixed conglomeration but are mobilized according to their contexts and newly available digital tools.

Download or read book Paper Machine written by Jacques Derrida and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions the book itself, archivization, machines for writing, and the mechanicity inherent in language, the media, and intellectuals. Derrida questions what takes place between the paper and the machine inscribing it. He examines what becomes of the archive when the world of paper is subsumed in new machines for virtualization, and whether there can be a virtual event or a virtual archive. Derrida continues his long-standing investigation of these issues, and ties them into the new themes that governed his teaching and thinking in the past few years: the secret, pardon, perjury, state sovereignty, hospitality, the university, animal rights, capital punishment, the question of what sort of mediatized world is replacing the print epoch, and the question of the “wholly other.” Derrida is remarkable at making seemingly occasional pieces into part of a complexly interconnected trajectory of thought.

Download or read book Venice and the Slavs written by Larry Wolff and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the nature of Venetian rule over the Slavs of Dalmatia during the eighteenth century, focusing on the cultural elaboration of an ideology of empire that was based on a civilizing mission toward the Slavs. The book argues that the Enlightenment within the “Adriatic Empire” of Venice was deeply concerned with exploring the economic and social dimensions of backwardness in Dalmatia, in accordance with the evolving distinction between “Western Europe” and “Eastern Europe” across the continent. It further argues that the primitivism attributed to Dalmatians by the Venetian Enlightenment was fundamental to the European intellectual discovery of the Slavs. The book begins by discussing Venetian literary perspectives on Dalmatia, notably the drama of Carlo Goldoni and the memoirs of Carlo Gozzi. It then studies the work that brought the subject of Dalmatia to the attention of the European Enlightenment: the travel account of the Paduan philosopher Alberto Fortis, which was translated from Italian into English, French, and German. The next two chapters focus on the Dalmatian inland mountain people called the Morlacchi, famous as “savages” throughout Europe in the eighteenth century. The Morlacchi are considered first as a concern of Venetian administration and then in relation to the problem of the “noble savage,” anthropologically studied and poetically celebrated. The book then describes the meeting of these administrative and philosophical discourses concerning Dalmatia during the final decades of the Venetian Republic. It concludes by assessing the legacy of the Venetian Enlightenment for later perspectives on Dalmatia and the South Slavs from Napoleonic Illyria to twentieth-century Yugoslavia.
