Synthesis, structure and magnetic characterization of a dinuclear and two mononuclear iron(III) complexes with N,O-donor Schiff base ligands
2018
Abstract One centrosymmetric dinuclear and two mononuclear iron(III) Schiff base complexes, [(µ-OMe)2Fe2(L1)2(N3)2] (1) {HL1 = 2-((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-6-ethoxyphenol}, [FeL2(OH2)(N3)]·CH3OH (2) {H2L2 = N,N′-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine} and [FeL3(OH2)(NCS)]·2H2O (3) {H2L3 = N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine}, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the structures of all three complexes. Variable temperature (2–300 K) magnetic susceptibility (χ) data of complex 1 show that both iron(III) centres in the complex are in a high spin configuration (S = 5/2)…
One dimensional Mn(III) Schiff-base complex organization through very strong symmetrical H-bond interaction
2016
Abstract We are reporting the structural and magnetic characterization of a Mn(III) mononuclear complex based on a Schiff-base ligand with carboxylate pendant arm. Very strong symmetric H-interaction drives a one dimensional organization of this complex, densely packed through C–H⋯π further interactions. Low temperature magnetic behaviour appears governed by local ion zero field splitting obscuring any possible weak exchange interaction through the symmetric H-bond pathway.
An original 1D Cu–Co heterometallic compound: synthesis, structure and magnetic properties
2006
A novel heterobimetallic system, 1∞[LCuIICoII(NCS)2] (1), was obtained by reacting the neutral mononuclear complex [LCu] with cobalt(II) acetate in the presence of potassium thiocyanate (L is the dianion of the Schiff base resulting from the 2 ∶ 1 condensation of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde with 1,3-propanediamine). The crystallographic investigation of 1 reveals a one-dimensional alternating zig-zag chain-like structure, made of dinuclear {LCuCo} units linked by thiocyanate bridges. The copper(II) ion is pentacoordinate to the N2O2 donor set of the Schiff base ligand in the basal plane, with the apical position occupied by the sulfur atom. The cobalt ion displays a strongly distorted (4 + 2) …

If You Could Read My Mind—An Experimental Beauty-Contest Game with Children
2021
AbstractWe develop a new design for the experimental beauty-contest game (BCG) that is suitable for children in school age and test it with 114 schoolchildren aged 9–11 years as well as with adults. In addition, we collect a measure for cognitive skills to link these abilities with successful performance in the game. Results demonstrate that children can successfully understand and play a BCG. Choices start at a slightly higher level than those of adults but learning over time and depth of reasoning are largely comparable with the results of studies run with adults. Cognitive skills, measured as fluid IQ, are predictive only of whether children choose weakly dominated strategies but are nei…
Gli strumenti di monitoraggio e controllo e l’analisi quali-quantitativa dei dati sulla percezione del cyber-bullismo da parte degli insegnanti
2019
In the last ten years it happens less frequently to hear teachers talk about "pranks" when debating about the trend that shows a small number of teenagers and very young students, to put aggressive, violent discriminating, and, in general, victimizing behaviors are taking place. At least, we register this trend in the perception of the teachers we interviewed. It is certainly a sign, or even a consequence, of the fact that the entire educational institution, from the top management to the teachers, for over twenty years now, has become aware not only of the fact that that weren’t "pranks", but seriously aggressive behaviors, but also of the fact that, in addition to pro-sociality and non-ag…
Topological magneto-optical effects and their quantization in noncoplanar antiferromagnets
2018
Reflecting the fundamental interactions of polarized light with magnetic matter, magneto-optical effects are well known since more than a century. The emergence of these phenomena is commonly attributed to the interplay between exchange splitting and spin-orbit coupling in the electronic structure of magnets. Using theoretical arguments, we demonstrate that topological magneto-optical effects can arise in noncoplanar antiferromagnets due to the finite scalar spin chirality, without any reference to exchange splitting or spin-orbit coupling. We propose spectral integrals of certain magneto-optical quantities that uncover the unique topological nature of the discovered effect. We also find th…
User Evaluation of the Smartphone Screen Reader VoiceOver with Visually Disabled Participants
2018
Touchscreen assistive technology is designed to support speech interaction between visually disabled people and mobile devices, allowing hand gestures to interact with a touch user interface. In a global perspective, the World Health Organisation estimates that around 285 million people are visually disabled with 2/3 of them over 50 years old. This paper presents the user evaluation of VoiceOver, a built-in screen reader in Apple Inc. products, with a detailed analysis of the gesture interaction, familiarity and training by visually disabled users and the system response. Six participants with prescribed visual disability took part in the tests in a usability laboratory under controlled con…
Evaluation of touchscreen assistive technology for visually disabled users
2017
Touchscreen assistive technology is designed to support speech interaction between visually disabled people and mobile devices, allowing the use of a choreography of gestures to interact with a touch user interface. This paper presents the evaluation of VoiceOver, a screen reader in Apple Inc. products, made in the research project Visually impaired users touching the screen- A user evaluation of assistive technology together with six visually disabled test participants. The aim was to identify challenges related to the performance of the gestures for screen interaction and evaluate the system response to the gestures. The main results showed that most of the hand gestures were easy to perf…
Corynosoma acanthocephalans in their paratenic fish hosts in the northern Baltic Sea
2003
En 1996-1997, nous avons etudie les stages cystacanthes de trois especes de Corynosoma (Acanthocephala), C. strumosum et C. semerme, ainsi qu'une nouvelle espece C. magdaleni parasite du chabot a quatre cornes (Myoxocephalus quadricornis) dans le golfe de Bothnie. Les longueurs du tronc et du proboscis permettent de differencier les trois especes de parasites. La stabilite temporelle de l'infection par Corynosoma est etudiee en comparant nos resultats a ceux obtenus dans la meme zone geographique centrale et cotiere) en 1977-1982 (Valtonen, 1983a). Comme C. magdaleni et C. strumosum n'etaient pas differenciees a cette epoque, elles ont ete groupees sous l'appellation "C. strumosum" pour les…
