Rod–coil copolymers from oligo(p-benzamide) foldamers

2007

Self assembling rod–coil copolymers were synthesized in which oligo(p-benzamide) rods up to the octamer were prepared via iterative solution synthesis employing the acid labile 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl amide protective group.

Pupil dilation under constant illumination is a physiological marker where modulation is related to several cognitive functions involved in daily decision making. There is evidence for a role of pupil dilation change during decision-making tasks associated with uncertainty, reward-prediction errors and surprise. However, while some work suggests that pupil dilation is mainly modulated by reward predictions, others point out that this marker is related to uncertainty signaling and surprise. Supporting the latter hypothesis, the neural substrate of this marker is related to noradrenaline (NA) activity which has been also related to uncertainty signaling. In this work we aimed to test whether …

Nuevas aportaciones sobre el aprovechamiento faunístico y vegetal en el Castell de Castalla (Alicante, España) durante los siglos XI-XV

2017

Remains of fauna, charcoal and timber from Castalla Castle (Alicante) have been studied between 2010 and 2016, within the Castalla Castle Heritage Site Social Regeneration Project. Their analysis has helped to better understand the fortification, as well as the exploitation of those resources made by people who lived there during the Middle Ages. In this regard, the faunal assemblage shows the practice of a traditional husbandry model in which herds of goats and sheep are highlighted. Other domestic animals with a less important number, as the pig, complete a panoramic view of the agricultural economy at that time. In terms of hunting resources, red deer was recovered. On the other hand, it…

Typhlodromips jurmoensis ; (Acari: Mesostigmata: Amblyseiinae), a new species from the archipelago of SW Finland

2014

A new species belonging to the genus Typhloromips De Leon, 1965 is described. It was collected from Calluna moorland soil on Jurmo, a remote island in the SW archipelago of Finland. Typhlodromips herbarius (Wainstein, 1960) is considered a senior synonym of T.tenuis (Westerboer, 1963), syn.n. A key is given to related species with a similar spermathecal structure. peerReviewed

La eficacia del aprendizaje perceptual como tratamiento de la ambliopía en la infancia, frente a otros tratamientos convencionales

2019

La ambliopía es un trastorno asociado con respuestas anormales del ojo afectado en la corteza visual (Mansouri, Thompson y Hess, 2008) que reduce la agudeza visual (AV) y afecta la percepción espacial de objetos y movimientos. La oclusión, que cubre el ojo dominante, es el tratamiento clásico. El aprendizaje perceptivo ha mostrado resultados positivos, pero se necesitan más estudios a nivel visuo perceptivo, psicomotor y psicoeducativo. Objetivo Analizar el efecto del tratamiento en niños de 4 a 12 años de edad, en términos de AV, estereopsis, sensibilidad de contraste (CS), habilidades visuales-perceptuales, psicomotores y aspectos psicosociales y escolares. Los tratamientos estudiados son…

Design and construction of halogen-bonded capsules and cages

2017

This thesis describes the design, synthesis and characterization of supramolecular halogen-bonded capsules and cages from multivalent ligands. In the first part of the thesis, an overview to halogen bonding is provided. After discussing the general features of the halogen bonding, the most frequently used halogen bond donors are introduced and examples of their utilization in halogen-bonded systems are discussed. The chapter also presents recent advances made in the field of halogen-bonded supramolecular capsules. The first part of the thesis also includes a review of halogen-bonded complexes involving halonium ions, and a brief introduction to [N···X+···N] halogen bonds is provided along w…

The “nitrogen effect” : Complexation with macrocycles potentiates fused heterocycles to form halogen bonds in competitive solvents

2023

Weak intermolecular forces are typically very difficult to observe in highly competitive polar protic solvents as they are overwhelmed by the quantity of competing solvent. This is even more challenging for three-component ternary assemblies of pure organic compounds. In this work, we overcome these complications by leveraging the binding of fused aromatic N-heterocycles in an open resorcinarene cavity to template the formation of a three-component halogen-bonded ternary assembly in a protic polar solvent system. peerReviewed

Expansion and Compression of a Helicate with Central Diol-Units as Stereocontrolling Moieties

2022

The dicatechol ester ligand 2-H4 forms the compressed helicate Li4[(2)3Ti2] which upon removal of the internally bound lithium cations expands. In the compressed form, the chiral diol units control the stereochemistry of the complex which is lost upon expansion of the system. peerReviewed
