Large Magnetic Polyoxometalates Containing the Cobalt Cubane ‘[CoIIICo3II(OH)3(H2O)6–m(PW9O34)]3− (m = 3 or 5) as a Subunit
2018
A synthetic procedure is presented to construct new magnetic polyoxometalates (POMs) containing one or two subunits of ‘[CoIIICo3II(OH)3(H2O)6−m(PW9O34)]3−' (m = 3 or 5). The substitution of the water ligands present in these subunits by oxo or hydroxo ligands belonging to other POM fragments, gives rise to four, larger POM anions: [Co7(OH)6(H2O)6(PW9O34)2]9− (2), [Co7(OH)6(H2O)4(PW9O34)2]n9n- (2′), [Co11(OH)5(H2O)5(W6O24)(PW9O34)3]22− (3) and [{Co4(OH)3(H2O)(PW9O34)}2{K⊂(H2W12O41)2}{Co(H2O)4}2]17− (4). The crystal structures, magnetic characterization and stabilities in aqueous solutions of these POM derivatives are also presented.
Crystal structure of a mixed-valence μ-oxide Sn12 cluster
2014
The mixed-valence μ-oxide Sn12cluster, decacarbonyltetra-μ4-oxido-hexa-μ3-oxido-tetrakis[μ-2,2′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(1,1-diphenylethanolato)]decatin(II)ditin(IV)dimolybdenum(O)(2Mo—Sn) toluene heptasolvate, [Mo2Sn12(C33H27NO2)4O10(CO)10]·7C7H8, has a crystallographically imposed inversion centre. The asymmetric unit also contains three and a half toluene solvent molecules, one of which is disordered about a centre of symmetry. The complex molecule comprises six distinct Sn atom species with four different coordination numbers, namely 3, 4, 5, and 6. The SnIIatoms forming the central Sn10O10core adopt distorted trigonal–pyramidal, square-pyramidal and octahedral coordination geometries pro…
A new approach for clustering of effects in quantile regression
2017
In this paper we aim at nding similarities among the coefficients from a multivariate regression. Using a quantile regression coefficients modeling, the effect of each covariate, given a response (also multivariate) is a curve in the multidimensional space of the percentiles. Collecting all the curves, describing the effects of each covariate on each response variable, we could be able to assess if only one or more covariates have same effects on different responses.
Performance of $b$-Jet Identification in the ATLAS Experiment

Análisis de la bondad de múltiples indicadores para el diagnóstico de la adicción al cibersexo
2021
El uso de Internet con propósitos sexuales (p.e., visionado de pornografía o contacto sexual mediante chat o cámara web) resulta una práctica cada vez más generalizada. Si bien en la mayoría de los casos se realiza de forma recreativa, en algunas ocasiones puede sobrevenir compulsivo, incontrolado y asociado a deterioro funcional en varios ámbitos (adicción al cibersexo). Las escalas de las que disponemos para su diagnóstico se han visto limitadas a la hora de identificar estos pacientes debido a que algunos indicadores diagnósticos han perdido especificidad: por ejemplo, el tiempo online con fines sexuales parece no discriminar usuarios problemáticos debido al uso cada vez más intensivo de…
A study of VUV emission and the extracted electron-ion ratio in hydrogen and deuterium plasmas of a filament-driven H−/D− ion source
2019
Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) emission diagnostics for studying differences of electron impact processes in hydrogen and deuterium plasmas are presented. The method is applied to study a filament driven multicusp arc discharge negative ion source by comparing the VUV-emission intensities of different emission bands and extracted currents of H−/D− ions and electrons. It was found that the ratio of coextracted electrons to extracted ions is four times higher for deuterium than for hydrogen. No significant differences of the VUV-spectra or volumetric rates of ionization, excitation, production of high vibrational states, and dissociation were found between the plasmas of the two isotopes. The volum…
Beyond Tandem Analysis: Joint Dimension Reduction and Clustering in R
2019
We present the R package clustrd which implements a class of methods that combine dimension reduction and clustering of continuous or categorical data. In particular, for continuous data, the package contains implementations of factorial K-means and reduced K-means; both methods combine principal component analysis with K-means clustering. For categorical data, the package provides MCA K-means, i-FCB and cluster correspondence analysis, which combine multiple correspondence analysis with K-means. Two examples on real data sets are provided to illustrate the usage of the main functions.
Effective Hamiltonians in Nonrelativistic Quantum Electrodynamics
2021
In this paper, we consider some second-order effective Hamiltonians describing the interaction of the quantum electromagnetic field with atoms or molecules in the nonrelativistic limit. Our procedure is valid only for off-energy-shell processes, specifically virtual processes such as those relevant for ground-state energy shifts and dispersion van der Waals and Casimir-Polder interactions, while on-energy-shell processes are excluded. These effective Hamiltonians allow for a considerable simplification of the calculation of radiative energy shifts, dispersion, and Casimir-Polder interactions, including in the presence of boundary conditions. They can also provide clear physical insights int…
The Diversification of Sicilian Farms: A Way to Sustainable Rural Development
2021
Rural areas still suffer from a lack of sustainable development, and the diversification of farms may be a step in the right direction. The paper provides a detailed picture of the diversification of Sicilian farms into tourism services. Specifically, we propose a simple indicator of localization intensity of agritourism farms and explore their spatial distribution at municipality level. Our study highlights that Sicilian farms rarely diversify into tourism services, despite being situated in attractive areas. That said, some significant spatial clusters of municipalities where agritourism farms are highly concentrated do emerge from the study.
Transient stability simulation of a fixed speed wind turbine by Matlab/Simulink
2007
This paper describes the dynamic behavior of a typical fixed speed wind turbine connected to the grid; the model is developed in the simulation tool Matlab/Simulink and created as a modular structure. The pitch control system is used for stabilization of the wind turbine at grid faults. In this way, voltage stability of the system with grid-connected wind turbines can be improved by using blade-angle control for a temporary reduction of the wind turbine power during a short-circuit fault in the grid. This paper shows a new variable control for maintaining of voltage stability, when a three-phase fault is applied close to the wind turbine and cleared by disconnecting the affected line. In th…
