The Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices in Healthy Children: A Qualitative Approach
2020
Studies on the structure of intelligence refer to two main theoretical models: the first one considers intelligence as a unitary construct, the second one assumes the involvement of a plurality of factors. Studies using Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM) tasks have often highlighted the involvement of different cognitive abilities and brain structures, but in the clinical setting, RCPM measurement continues to be used as a single score. The current study aimed to analyse the RCPM performance following qualitative clustering, in order to provide an interpretation of the intelligence assessment through a factorial criterion. The RCPM have been administered to a large group of typica…
Consequence of litter removal on pedogenesis: A case study in Bachs and Irchel (Switzerland)
2016
In forests, soils contain at least twice as much carbon than plants that mostly grow in the upper layers. Litter at the interface between soils and the atmosphere regulates a variety of biogeochemical cycles, which are important for both plants and soils and have possible implications for other environmental components. We have compared leachates collected during an incubation experiment on: a) beech and oak leaves; b) organic subhorizons OLn, OLv, OF, and mineral A horizon; c) treated with litter removal (and untreated) plots, to assess the changes in the chemical composition of the litter layers and leachates during weathering and their influence on the underlying horizons. . Two differen…
SIA DeLaval apgrozījuma ietekmējošo faktoru novērtējums
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma “SIA DeLaval apgrozījuma ietekmējošo faktoru novērtējums”. Jebkura uzņēmējdarbība ir orientēta uz maksimālas peļņas iegūšanu, tirgus daļas saglabāšanu vai paplašināšanu, ilgstošu attīstības iespēju nodrošināšanu un uzņēmuma vērtības palielināšanu. Pastāv vairāki faktori, kas ietekmē mērķa sasniegšanu – tirgus tendences, tirgus kopējais apjoms, konkurence, ekonomiskie apstākļi, vide un uzņēmuma iekšējā politika. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz SIA DeLaval apgrozījuma ietekmējošo faktoru analīzi, sniegt priekšlikumus apgrozījuma palielināšanai. Darbā iekļautas trīs nodaļas, kas secīgi pakārtotas izvirzītā mērķa sasniegšanai. Darba nozīmīgākie secinājumi - SIA D…
Project Scheduling Methods Based on Theory of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers
2020
In this the paper we present new methods, called OFCPM, OFPERT, for estimating a project completion time in the situation when activity duration times in the project are given in the form of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers OFNs. Extended Critical Path Method and Project Evaluation and Review Technique have been developed as new methods dedicated to project scheduling, preserving its basic concept. Ordered fuzzy numbers are used to project scheduling under uncertainty. The duration time of each project activity is estimated by experts (experts views of the activity duration time) based on their experience. These new methods will be verify on some examples. The comparison of our fuzzy approaches to exi…
Efficacy and safety of cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate substitution in severe molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A: a prospective cohort study.
2015
Summary Background Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) is characterised by early, rapidly progressive postnatal encephalopathy and intractable seizures, leading to severe disability and early death. Previous treatment attempts have been unsuccessful. After a pioneering single treatment we now report the outcome of the complete first cohort of patients receiving substitution treatment with cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP), a biosynthetic precursor of the cofactor. Methods In this observational prospective cohort study, newborn babies with clinical and biochemical evidence of MoCD were admitted to a compassionate-use programme at the request of their treating physicians. Intravenous…
Composition and physicochemical properties of calcium silicate based sealers: A review article
2017
Background Recently a new generation of endodontic sealers has been developed based on calcium silicate as MTA Fillapex, Endoseal MTA, Total Fill BC Sealer, EndoSequence BC Sealer, iRoot SP, Endo CPM sealer, MTA-Angelus and ProRoot Endo Sealer. A review of literature was conducted to discuss the composition, physicochemical properties, and clinical perspectives of calcium silicate based sealers. Material and methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed and web of knowledge databases with appropriate MeSh terms and keywords. A total of 71 studies were reviewed for data extraction. Results and conclusions Calcium silicate based sealers showed suitable physical properties to be used as …
Density functional study of Cu2+-phenylalanine complex under micro-solvation environment
2013
Abstract We present an atomistic study carried out using density functional calculations including structural relaxations and Car–Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD) simulations, aiming to investigate the structures of phenylalanine-copper (II) ([Phe-Cu] 2+ ) complexes and their micro-solvation processes. The structures of the [Phe-Cu] 2+ complex with up to four water molecules are optimized using the B3LYP/6-311++G** model in gas phase to identify the lowest energy structures at each degree of solvation ( n = 0–4). It is found that the phenylalanine appears to be in the neutral form in isolated and mono-hydrated complexes, but in the zwitterionic form in other hydrated complexes (with n …

Fast field cycling NMR relaxometry characterization of biochars obtained from an industrial thermochemical process
2012
Biochar has unique properties which make it a powerful tool to increase soil fertility and to contribute to the decrease of the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide through the mechanisms of C sequestration in soils. Chemical and physical biochar characteristics depend upon the technique used for its production and the biomass nature. For this reason, biochar characterization is very important in order to address its use either for agricultural or environmental purposes. Three different biochars obtained from an industrial gasification process were selected in order to establish their chemical and physical peculiarities for a possible use in agronomical practices. They were obtained by char…
