Cadmium Metal–Organic Frameworks Based on Ditopic Triazamacrocyclic Linkers: Unusual Structural Features and Selective CO 2 Capture
2017
International audience; Two three-dimensional cadmium metal organic frameworks with general formula [Cd-2(L-1)(H2O)(3)](NO3)(0.7)(HCOO)(0.2)Br-0.1 (Cd2L1, L-1 = 1,4,7-tris(4-carboxybenzy1)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) and Cd(HL2)(H2O)(2) (CdL2, L-2 = 1,4,7-tris(3-(4-benzoate)prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,4,7-triazacydononane) based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane N-functionalized by different arylcarboxylic acids were prepared under solvothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis and porosity measurements. The crystal structure of Cd2L1 reveals a cationic net with a bcs topology,. and nodes are constituted by dinuclear cadmium complexes, in which each cadmium atom adopts a hexacoordin…
Modeling multipartite virus evolution: the genome formula facilitates rapid adaptation to heterogeneous environments
2020
Multipartite viruses have two or more genome segments, and package different segments into different particle types. Although multipartition is thought to have a cost for virus transmission, its benefits are not clear. Recent experimental work has shown that the equilibrium frequency of viral genome segments, the setpoint genome formula (SGF), can be unbalanced and host-species dependent. These observations have reinvigorated the hypothesis that changes in genome-segment frequencies can lead to changes in virus-gene expression that might be adaptive. Here we explore this hypothesis by developing models of bipartite virus infection, leading to a threefold contribution. First, we show that th…
IME/Índice Médico Español. Perspectivas y retos tras 40 años de tradición bibliográfica en ciencias de la salud (1964-2003).
2004
Al cumplir cuarenta años de pervivencia, la base de datos IME, versión automatizada del repertorio Índice Médico Español, constituye la mayor base de datos bibliográfica sobre publicaciones en ciencias de la salud en español. Actualmente ha iniciado una nueva etapa en la que pretende responder a las nuevas exigencias de la sociedad mediante la incorporación de algunas innovaciones documentales y tecnológicas. Para ello, se ha mejorado el sistema de gestión de la base de datos mediante aplicaciones que permiten el teletrabajo en tiempo real y la actualización constante de los registros. Además, se ha ampliado su cobertura con la incorporación de nuevas revistas, algunas de ellas electrónicas…
Innovative Approaches for Organizing an Inclusive Optics and Photonics Conference in Virtual Format
2023
The COVID pandemic is forcing the renewal of scientific conferences, offering opportunities to introduce technological and inclusive developments. Our analysis focuses on the implementation of inclusive practices for female and early-career researchers in a virtual scientific conference. This organization approach was applied in the XIII Spanish Optical Meeting (RNO2021), which was also characterized by avatars interacting in an online metaverse. The effectiveness of inclusive policies and novel technological tools was evaluated using the participation data and a post-conference survey. Our study reveals the high impact of inclusive actions and a strong interest in the scientific community …
L’économie de la santé : inégalités, prévention et offre de soins
2010
À partir d’une sélection des communications présentées lors des 31e Journées des économistes de la santé français à Rennes en décembre 2009, ce numéro spécial, coordonné par le Collège des Économistes de la Santé, présente des travaux originaux en économie de la santé. Comme à l’accoutumée, la revue Économie Publique - Public économies propose trois rubriques (« Panorama », « Dossier » et « Recherches »). Alain Trannoy (Ehess, Greqam-Idep) offre au lecteur tout d’abord un véritable « panorama...
Intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness in an old French population: The MONTRACHET study
2013
Purpose: To describe the distribution of intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) in an old French population. Methods: About 9000 individuals 65 years and older were included in the 3C cohort study since 1999 in 3 French cities (Bordeaux, Dijon and Montpellier). In Dijon, an additional ophthalmic examination was performed 10 years after the initial inclusions to assess the relation between systemic age-related diseases and eye diseases in the MONTRACHET Study (Maculopathy Optic Nerve nuTRition neurovAsCular and HEarT diseases). In this population-based stuy a thorough eye examination and a questionnaire were undertaken in each participant. Intraocular pressure (IOP) w…
“I Like to Keep my Archaeology Dead”. Alienation and Othering of the Past as an Ethical Problem
2019
As archaeologists, we have to deal with the dead, and as David Clarke once said, we like to keep our archaeology dead. From an epistemological perspective, alienation from the dead seems almost inevitable; otherwise, we would only project today’s conditions onto the past. Therefore, the past must be, and must remain, a foreign country. These alienating processes have ethical implications, however, especially when it comes to the study of human remains. In this article, we analyze the structures within the scientific discipline of archaeology that normalize practices, such as the labeling of human bone material during excavations and the object-like display of skeletons in museums. We argue …
INFLUENCIA DE FACTORES FAMILIARES Y PERSONALES EN LA EVOLUCIÓN NEGATIVA DEL TDAH
2016
Abstract.INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL AND FAMILY FACTORS ON THE NEGATIVE COURSE OF ADHDObjective. To study the effect of the cumulative adversity on the course of ADHD symptoms, associated problems and dysfunctionality of ADHD children. Method. 61 families of children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD combined subtype were evaluated on two different times (Time I: mean age = 8.7; Time II: mean age = 11). We developed a personal risk index (high levels of ADHD symptoms, high number of associated problems, presence of oppositionism, stressful child characteristics and family history of ADHD), a family risk index (presence of mothers’ psychopathology, high parental stress and dysfunctional discipline…
Projekty citizen science jako metoda wzmocnienia świadomości społecznej o problemie antybiotykooporności
2023
Problem antybiotykooporności jest według WHO jednym z najbardziej donośnych zagrożeń XXI wieku. Z roku na rok umiera coraz więcej osób na skutek zakażenia bakterią, która jest oporna na znane antybiotyki. Aby zapobiegać rozwojowi antybiotykooporności konieczny jest wzrost świadomości społecznej o niekorzystnych skutkach nadużywania i niewłaściwego stosowania antybiotyków. W tym celu prowadzone są liczne kampanie i akcje społeczne. Aby dotrzeć z tymi informacjami także do młodzieży realizowane są projekty citizen science, w które zaangażowani są studenci i uczniowie. W artykule przedstawimy cele i zakres projektów citizen science oraz service learning podejmowanych w celu edukacji społeczeńs…
