Overcoming Steric Hindrance in Aryl‐Aryl Homocoupling via On‐Surface Copolymerization

2019

On-surface synthesis is a unique tool for growing low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials with precise structural control down to the atomic level. This novel approach relies on carefully designed precursor molecules, which are deposited on suitable substrates and activated to ultimately form the desired nanostructures. One of the most applied reactions to covalently interlink molecular precursors is dehalogenative aryl-aryl coupling. Despite the versatility of this approach, many unsuccessful attempts are also known, most of them associated to the poor capability of the activated precursors to couple to each other. Such failure is often related to the steric hindrance between reactants, which…

Infarto cerebral isquémico por disección de arteria carótida interna

2003

La disección de la arteria carótida interna es una causa importante de ictus isquémico en niños y pacientes jóvenes. En la patogenia se han implicado traumatismos y/o un posible defecto estructural de la pared arterial. Las manifestaciones clínicas típicas incluyen cefalea o dolor de cuello y síndrome de Horner en el lado de la disección, con la aparición después de síntomas isquémicos cerebrales. La ecografía, el Doppler transcraneal, la resonancia magnética (RM), la angiorresonancia y la angiografía proporcionan el diagnóstico. Las opciones de tratamiento comprenden anticoagulantes, antiagregantes plaquetarios y cirugía. Presentamos un adolescente de 14 años con un ictus isquémico secunda…

Mixed Fault Classification of Sensorless PMSM Drive in Dynamic Operations Based on External Stray Flux Sensors

2022

This paper aims to classify local demagnetisation and inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) on position sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) in transient states based on external stray flux and learning classifier. Within the framework, four supervised machine learning tools were tested: ensemble decision tree (EDT), k-nearest neighbours (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and feedforward neural network (FNN). All algorithms are trained on datasets from one operational profile but tested on other different operation profiles. Their input features or spectrograms are computed from resampled time-series data based on the estimated position of the rotor from one stray flux sensor t…

A mixed 0-1 linear programming approach to the computation of all pure-strategy nash equilibria of a finite n -person game in normal form

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/640960 A main concern in applications of game theory is how to effectively select a Nash equilibrium, especially a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium for a finite n -person game in normal form. This selection process often requires the computation of all Nash equilibria. It is well known that determining whether a finite game has a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium is an NP-hard problem and it is difficult to solve by naive enumeration algorithms. By exploiting the properties of pure strategy and multilinear terms in the payoff functions, this p…

D2R striatopallidal neurons inhibit both locomotor and drug reward processes.

2009

The specific functions of dopamine D(2) receptor-positive (D(2)R) striatopallidal neurons remain poorly understood. Using a genetic mouse model, we found that ablation of D(2)R neurons in the entire striatum induced hyperlocomotion, whereas ablation in the ventral striatum increased amphetamine conditioned place preference. Thus D(2)R striatopallidal neurons limit both locomotion and, unexpectedly, drug reinforcement.

Tendencia temporal y variaciones geográficas de la prevalencia de síntomas de rinitis alérgica en escolares de 6-7 años de ocho áreas españolas, segú…

2005

Antecedentes: Se presenta la fase III del estudio ISAAC (International Study of Asthma and other Allergies in Childhood) en escolares de 6-7 años de ocho áreas españolas para estimar la tendencia temporal y variaciones geográficas de los síntomas de rinitis alérgica. Material y método: Se comparan las prevalencias de síntomas de rinitis alérgica entre la fase I y fase III, efectuadas entre los años 1993-1994 y 2001-2002, mediante un cuestionario estandarizado y validado según metodología ISAAC, cumplimentado por los padres de los escolares. Participaron ocho centros de Asturias, Barcelona, Bilbao, Cartagena, Castellón, Madrid, Pamplona y Valencia. Se empleó la regresión de Poisson en el aná…

The Efficacy and Safety of Topiramate in the Prevention of Pediatric Migraine: An Update Meta-Analysis

2020

Background: Migraine is the most common acute primary headache in children and adolescents. In 2014, topiramate became the first preventive drug for migraine, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for adolescents. This meta-analysis was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topiramate in the prevention of pediatric migraine.Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases up to June 2019 for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The primary outcomes were mean migraine days per month, ≥50% reduction rate, and Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (PedMIDAS) scores. RevMan5.3 software…

Photoelastic stress analysis assisted evaluation of fracture toughness in hydrothermally aged epoxies

2014

The present work has investigated the fracture toughness of a model DGEBA epoxy system subject to Hidro-Thermal aging. A Photoelastic Stress Analysis technique has been implemented, showing the evolution of stresses arising throughout the water uptake process due to the non-uniform swelling of the material. Gravimetric and Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analyses have further complemented the characterization, showing the onset of plasticization effects with aging. The correlation of all previous characterizations has allowed to conclude that an increase of KIC fracture toughness is obtained at the fully saturated condition. In particular Photoelasticity has also revealed the onset of relevant s…
