Prediction of cardiovascular disease by the framingham-REGICOR equation in the high-risk PREDIMED cohort: Impact of the mediterranean diet across different risk strata
Background-The usefulness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictive equations in different populations is debatable. We assessed the efficacy of the Framingham-REGICOR scale, validated for the Spanish population, to identify future CVD in participants, who were predefined as being at high-risk in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study-a nutrition-intervention primary prevention trial-and the impact of adherence to the Mediterranean diet on CVD across risk categories. Methods and Results-In a post hoc analysis, we assessed the CVD predictive value of baseline estimated risk in 5966 PREDIMED participants (aged 55-74 years, 57% women; 48% with type 2 diabetes mellitus). Major …
Surface passivation of gallium selenide by nitrogen implantation
In this paper we report on the characterization of nitrogen-implanted single-crystal GaSe samples. Nitrogen atoms were implanted at 80 keV, with doses ranging from 4 × 10 13 to 10 15 N + ions cm -2 . Next, samples were aged in open air and characterized by small-area XPS, together with an unimplanted clean surface, in order to quantify the effects of the nitrogen implantation. In general, we found that the oxidation was fully prevented in N + -implanted samples.
SiO2-supported vanadium magnesium mixed oxides as selective catalysts for the oxydehydrogenation of short chain alkanes
Abstract Unsupported and SiO 2 -supported VMgO mixed oxides catalysts have been prepared, characterized and tested in the oxidation of propane, n -butane and propylene. Mg-vanadates are observed by XRD, IR and Raman spectroscopy in both pure and supported VMgO catalysts, although the effective Mg/V ratio, in the VMgO phases formed, depends on the silica content. Since SiO 2 reacts partially with MgO during the calcination step, forming Mg 2 SiO 4 , the effective Mg/V ratio depends on the silica content. In this sense, pyro -Mg 2 V 2 O 7 is mainly formed on supported catalysts with Mg/V atomic ratios lower than 4, while ortho -Mg 3 V 2 O 8 is observed on supported catalysts with Mg/V atomic …
Photophysical behavior of 3-methylquinoline and 3-bromoquinoline
Abstract The phosphorescence emission and excitation spectra and their polarizations have been studied for 3-methylquinoline and 3-bromoquinoline in methylcyclohexane and ethanol glasses at 77 K. From the results obtained in 3-methylquinoline (τp = 1.30 s in ethanol, τp = 1.05 s in methylcyclohexane and the out-of-plane polarization) it is concluded that the emission originates from a triplet state of 3ππ∗ character. In 3-bromoquinoline, the phosphorescence lifetimes (ca. 8 ms in a non-polar solvent and 15 ms in a polar solvent) and the negative degree of polarization indicate an emitting state of ππ∗ character that is strongly coupled to a higher-lying triplet state of the nπ∗ type. The mo…

Phosphorescence emission and polarization of quinoline 3-carbonitrile
Abstract The phosphorescence emission and excitation spectra and their polarization have been studied for quinoline 3-carbonitrile in methylcyclohexane and ethanol glasses at 77 K. From the results obtained in this molecule (τ=1.15 sec in ethanol, τ=1.04 sec in methylcyclohexane and out-of-plane polarization) it is concluded that the emission is orginated from a triplet state of 3 ππ * character. The two major spin-orbit coupling mechanisms through which the ππ * state of quinoline 3-carbonitrile acquires dipole-allowed character via nπ * states are: 1. In ethanol glass: 2. In methylcyclohexane glass:
The role of molybdenum in Mo-doped V–Mg–O catalysts during the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane
Abstract A detailed study on the influence of the addition of molybdenum ions on the catalytic behaviour of a selective vanadium–magnesium mixed oxide catalyst in the oxidation of n-butane has been performed. The catalysts have been prepared by impregnation of a calcined V–Mg–O mixed oxides (23.8 wt% of V2O5) with an aqueous solution of ammonium heptamolybdate, and then calcined, and further characterised by several physico-chemical techniques, i.e. SBET, XRD, FTIR, FT-Raman, XPS, H2-TPR. MgMoO4, in addition to Mg3V2O8 and MgO, have been detected in all the Mo-doped samples. The incorporation of molybdenum modifies not only the number of V5+-species on the catalyst surface and the reducibil…
