Oral high-dose sucrosomial iron vs intravenous iron in sideropenic anemia patients intolerant/refractory to iron sulfate: a multicentric randomized s…
2020
AbstractIron deficiency anemia is among the most frequent causes of disability. Intravenous iron is the quickest way to correct iron deficiency, bypassing the bottleneck of iron intestinal absorption, the only true mechanism of iron balance regulation in human body. Intravenous iron administration is suggested in patients who are refractory/intolerant to oral iron sulfate. However, the intravenous way of iron administration requires several precautions; as the in-hospital administration requires a resuscitation service, as imposed in Europe by the European Medicine Agency, it is very expensive and negatively affects patient’s perceived quality of life. A new oral iron formulation, Sucrosomi…
Towards a new mix design method for asphalt mixtures containing rap
2016
Recycling is one of the most important aspects to conceive the new construction or rehabilitation of sustainable road infrastructures. Even if Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is commonly used in the practice, its presence may lead to some critical aspects due to the physical and chemical phenomena occurring during the new mix process. For instance, the formation of RAP clusters during a new mix may inhibit the uniform distribution of the virgin binder as well as cause changes in the design grading curve of the mixture. Indeed, laboratory results demonstrate that small-size RAP particles stick together forming clusters. The amount of clusters depends on different parameters observed: The pe…
All-Optical frequency Shifter in a Periodically Poled Lithium Tantalate Waveguide
2011
A frequency shifting device is fabricated and tested in a congruent Lithium Tantalate waveguide. Periodic poling for quasi-phase-matching and channels for operation in the near-infrared C-band were obtained, demonstrating a two-stage parametric conversion.
Efficient palladium–ferrocenylphosphine catalytic systems for allylic amination of monoterpene derivatives
2006
Ferrocenylphosphines added to [Pd(µ-Cl)(η3-C3H5)]2 dimeric precursor produce efficient catalysts to effect the allylic amination of terpenic allylacetates. Particularly convenient are tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, which allow the amination of allylacetates with good to excellent selectivity, and have turnover numbers as high as 80 000, for instance, for the formation of allylaniline. Herein, we report on reactions that selectively transform geranylacetate, nerylacetate, linalylacetate and perillylacetate into the corresponding allylic amines. These preparative methods give facile access to various products of great potential industrial intere…
Input of P, N-(phosphanyl, amino)-ferrocene hybrid derivatives in late transition metals catalysis
2018
International audience; Unequally functionalized ferrocenes give access to valuable hemilabile reactivity in catalytic reaction. We address the synthesis of hybrid (P, N)-ferrocenyl compounds for which recent catalytic breakthrough applications have been reported, transversely in late transition metals chemistry. Palladium, nickel, rhodium, iridium, and emerging iron and gold catalysis are illustrated from selected examples, which include CC bond formation from cross-coupling and polymerization, allylic substitution, cyanation, hydroformylation, CH arylation and silylation and hydrogenation reactions.
Synthesis, characterisation and complexation of di- and trifunctional hybrid ferrocenylphosphine ligands.
2020
Organometallic compounds with at least one metal-carbon bond are used in various fields of chemistry: for example, in medical research for anticancer treatments, in catalytic reactions as catalysts or ligands, in electrochemistry for their redox potentials, in materials chemistry for their optical and electronic properties. The principal family of organometallic compounds of this thesis is ferrocene due to its physical and chemical properties particularly its robustness and the possibility of multiple substitutions on cyclopentadienyl ligands, the dissymmetric functionalization of these cyclopentadienyl rings being a major challenge.The first part of this thesis describes the bibliography o…
un approccio teorico-sperimentale per la ricostruzione del profilo trasversale di rotaie usurate
2012
La sovrastruttura ferroviaria durante la sua vita utile è sottoposta oltre ai carichi dinamici generati dai rotabili (azioni verticali, laterali, ecc.), anche ai carichi termici e ad azioni ambientali di varia natura. Tali sollecitazioni, interagendo sinergicamente tra loro, determinano il deterioramento della sovrastruttura ferroviaria inteso come discostamento dalla configurazione geometrica di progetto e l’usura dei singoli componenti del binario e della massicciata. Per valutare lo stato di efficienza della sovrastruttura è consuetudine far riferimento ad alcuni parametri geometrici del binario che, peraltro, permettono di formulare un giudizio oggettivo circa il livello di sicurezza of…
TiO2 nanostructures prepared by ferrocene/cobalt catalyst agents
2008
We present the growth and characterization of TiO2 nanocrystals. Nanostructured growth is obtained in a low-pressure CVD system by using an organometallic precursor Ti(OC3H7)4 as both the Ti and O source catalyzed by both ferrocene (an organometallic precursor) and cobalt metallic clusters prepared by the microwave-assisted polyol method. Two kinds of TiO2 structures were obtained in the cobalt clusters: a) pine-tree like (with short-leaf structure) and b) long-leaf structures as large as a few micrometers in size and both under 10 nm in thickness. Long-leaf TiO2 structures were grown at cobalt grain boundaries. For the growth conditions utilized, the TiO2 structures are composed of both an…
COVID-19: Hemoglobin, Iron, and Hypoxia beyond Inflammation. A Narrative Review
2020
Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has been regarded as an infective-inflammatory disease, which affects mainly lungs. More recently, a multi-organ involvement has been highlighted, with different pathways of injury. A hemoglobinopathy, hypoxia and cell iron overload might have a possible additional role. Scientific literature has pointed out two potential pathophysiological mechanisms: i) severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) interaction with hemoglobin molecule, through CD147, CD26 and other receptors located on erythrocyte and/or blood cell precursors; ii) hepcidin-mimetic action of a viral spike protein, inducing ferroportin blockage. In this translational medicine…
Ferromagnetic gyroscopes for tests of fundamental physics
2020
A ferromagnetic gyroscope (FG) is a ferromagnet whose angular momentum is dominated by electron spin polarization and that will precess under the action of an external torque, such as that due to a magnetic field. Here we model and analyze FG dynamics and sensitivity, focusing on practical schemes for experimental realization. In the case of a freely floating FG, we model the transition from dynamics dominated by libration in relatively high externally applied magnetic fields, to those dominated by precession at relatively low applied fields. Measurement of the libration frequency enables in situ measurement of the magnetic field and a technique to reduce the field below the threshold for w…
