Mapping landscape canopy nitrogen content from space using PRISMA data

2021

Abstract Satellite imaging spectroscopy for terrestrial applications is reaching maturity with recently launched and upcoming science-driven missions, e.g. PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa (PRISMA) and Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP), respectively. Moreover, the high-priority mission candidate Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment (CHIME) is expected to globally provide routine hyperspectral observations to support new and enhanced services for, among others, sustainable agricultural and biodiversity management. Thanks to the provision of contiguous visible-to-shortwave infrared spectral data, hyperspectral missions open enhanced …

Subgroups of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder without Intellectual Disability: A Longitudinal Examination of Executive and Socio-Adaptive Behav…

2021

Within the autistic spectrum, there is remarkable variability in the etiology, presentation, and treatment response. This prospective study was designed to identify, through cluster analysis, subgroups of individuals with ASD without intellectual disability (ID) based on the severity of the core symptoms in childhood. The secondary aim was to explore whether these subgroups and a group with typical development (TD) differ in cognitive, adaptive, and social aspects measured in adolescence. The sample at baseline was comprised of 52 children with ASD without ID and 37 children with TD, aged 7–11. Among the ASD group, three clusters were identified. Cluster 1 (40%), ‘high severity’, presented …

A fluorescence spectroscopy study of the interaction of monocationic quinine with phospholipid vesicles Effect of the ionic strength and lipid compos…

1997

Abstract The interaction of monocationic quinine with zwitterionic dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and mixed negatively-charged dimyristoylphosphatidyl glycerol (DMPG) DMPC small unilamellar vesicles in the liquid-crystalline phase was investigated by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy at pH 7 and 37°C. The maximum fluorescence emission peak at 383 nm, upon excitation at 335 nm, shifts to lower wavelength and decreases its intensity as the ratio between the total lipid and quinine concentrations increases. This indicates that in the membrane-bound state quinine is in an environment of low polarity, more deeply buried when anionic DMPG is present in the vesicle. For monoprotonated…

Spatial sharpening of land surface temperature for daily energy balance applications

2008

ABSTRACT Daily high spatial resolution assessment of actual evapotranspiration is essential for water management and crop water requirement estimation under stress conditions. The application of energy balance models usually requires satellite observations of radiometric surface temperat ure with high geometrical and temporal resolutions. By now, however, high spatial resolution (~ 100 m) is available with low time fre quency (approximately every two weeks); at the opposite daily acquisition are characterised by poor spatial resolution. The analysis of vegetation index (VI) and land surface temperature (LST) spatial relationship, shows in substance a scale invariant behaviour [1] ; this con…

Indol und einige Methylderivate 1 lassen sich unter milden Bedingungen mit den Dialkoxycarbenium-tetrafluoroboraten 2 in meist guten Ausbeuten regioselektive acylieren. Mit dem Formylkation-Aquivalent 2a′ werden mit uberschussigem 1 auch die Bisindolycarbenium-tetrafluoroborate 13a – d erhalten. Reactions of Electron-rich Heterocycles with Orthocarboxylic Acid Derivatives, 9. – Acylation of Indole and Methylindoles with Dialkoxycarbenium Tetrafluoroborates Indole and some methylindoles 1 were acylated regioselectively with dialkoxycarbenium tetrafluoroborates 2 under mild conditions. The formyl cation equivalent 2a′ reacts with excess of indoles 1 to give the bisindolylcarbenium tetrafluoro…

Antikonvulsiva, 1. Mitt. Thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamine

1986

Durch Anlagerung von Butyroguanamin (1) an die Isothiocyanate 2a-c sind die Thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamine 3a-c zuganglich. Auf dem Wege der Acylierung von 3 sind unsymmetrisch substituierte Butyroguanamine 4 erhaltlich. Unter den neu entwickelten Verbindungen zeichnet sich insbesondere 3c durch antikonvulsive, fungizide und die Magensauresekretion hemmende Wirkungen aus. Anticonvulsivic Agents, I: Thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamines The thiocarbamoylbutyroguanamines 3a-c are accessible by addition of butyroguanamine (1) to the isothiocyanates 2a-c. Unsymmetrically substituted butyroguanamines 4 are obtainable by acylation of 3. Among the newly prepared compounds, 3c in particular exhibits anticonv…

The identification of vicinally substituted cyclohexane isomers in their mixtures by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

2000

The radical addition reactions of organobromine compounds, XBr (X = CH2COOMe, PhCH2, CHBr2 and CCl3) with cyclohexene afforded mixtures of cis/trans isomer pairs of 1-X-2-Br-cyclohexanes. In addition to benzyl benzoyloxy derivatives are formed also, when benzoyl peroxide is used as an initiator. Owing to the great difficulties in separating these cis/trans isomer pairs, they are identified directly in their mixtures by NMR spectroscopy. In addition to one-dimensional (ID) 1H, proton decoupled 13C and DEPT-135, also two-dimensional (2D) 13C-13C INADEQUATE as well as 1H-13C HMQC experiments have been used in assigning the signals of each compound in their mixtures. The identification of each …

Verschiedenartige Additionsreaktionen von 2-Cyano-2-propylradikalen an p-Tolylmethacrylat und 4-Cyclohexylphenylmethacrylat

Durch Umsetzung von p-Tolylmethacrylat oder 4-Cyclohexylphenylmethacrylat in stark verdunnter, siedender Benzollosung mit einem sehr grosen Uberschus an 2,2′-Azoisobutyronitril wurden die erwarteten Additionsprodukte mit 2-Cyano-2-propylradikalen (1) erhalten, namlich p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-[4-cyano-2-(2-cyano-2-propyl)-2,4-dimethyl]valerianat (3a bzw. 3b) mit rund 50% Ausbeute. Daneben wurden p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-(4-cyano-4-methyl-2-methylen)valerianat (4a bzw. 4b), p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-[4-cyano-2(2-cyano-2-methyl-1-propyl)-4-methyl]valerianat (5a bzw. 5b), p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-Cyclohexylphenyl-(4-cyano-2,4-dimethyl)valerianat (6a bzw. 6b) und p-Tolyl- bzw. 4-C…

Follicular adenomas exhibit a unique metabolic profile. ¹H NMR studies of thyroid lesions.

2013

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. However, more than 90% of thyroid nodules are benign. It remains unclear whether thyroid carcinoma arises from preexisting benign nodules. Metabolomics can provide valuable and comprehensive information about low molecular weight compounds present in living systems and further our understanding of the biology regulating pathological processes. Herein, we applied ¹H NMR-based metabolic profiling to identify the metabolites present in aqueous tissue extracts of healthy thyroid tissue (H), non-neoplastic nodules (NN), follicular adenomas (FA) and malignant thyroid cancer (TC) as an alternative way of investigating cancer lesions. Multivar…
