Spin Frustration in Triangular Cu 3 II Complexes with 6‐Methyl‐2‐pyridyloxime as Ligand – Synthesis, Structural, and Magnetic Characterization
2013
In the present work, new examples of μ3-OH/oximato Cu3 triangles have been obtained by treatment of different copper salts with 6-methyl-2-pyridylaldoxime [6-MepyC(H)NOH, 6-mepaoH]. Depending on the anion, the compounds [Cu3(OH)(6-mepao)3(O2CPh)2] (1), [Cu6(OH)2(6-mepao)6(NO3)3](NO3)·H2O (2·H2O) and [Cu6(OH)2(6-mepao)6(ClO4)3](ClO4) (3) formed and were characterized. Complex 1 is an isolated triangle, whereas 2 and 3 are hexanuclear compounds with two triangular subunits linked by anionic bridges. Susceptibility measurements show very strong antiferromagnetic interactions and the presence of antisymmetric exchange at low temperature. The magnetic properties of these frustrated triangles hav…
Pasqualino Contemporaneo
2018
A Museum that tells stories. A Museum that houses ideas – not only things. A Museum that, going beyond the simple act of collecting, acquires a narrative dimension and turns into a meta-narrative, into an “Open Work”. This performance museum, which is the Antonio Pasqualino International Puppet Museum, focuses on narration and trans- forms itself into a mnestic image, becomes a tool for intercultural mediation through the use of different artistic languages. This long tradition of study and research is the frame of the Pasqualino Museum’s contemporary art projects realized in the past ten years.

Ecología de los crustáceos dominantes en los lagos de la Antártida marítima
2016
La presente tesis aborda el estudio ecológico de los dos crustáceos más abundantes en los lagos de La Península Byers (Islas Shetland del Sur, Antártida), el anostráceo Branchinecta gaini y el copépodo Boeckella poppei. Esta región es considerada una de las zonas con mayor interés desde el punto de vista limnológico dentro del continente antártico. Los estudios realizados en los sistemas acuáticos de esta región son relativamente recientes aunque amplios, no obstante existe todavía un sesgo de carencia en lo que respecta al conocimiento de la ecología de estos crustáceos. Las condiciones climáticas de la Antártida marítima, menos severas que las de la región continental, conllevan la existe…
Revisiting the thiosemicarbazonecopper(II) reaction with glutathione. Activity against colorectal carcinoma cell lines.
2018
Thiosemicarbazones (TSCs), and their copper derivatives, have been extensively studied mainly due to the potential applications as antitumor compounds. A part of the biological activity of the TSC-CuII complexes rests on their reactivity against cell reductants, as glutathione (GSH). The present paper describes the structure of the [Cu(PTSC)(ONO2)]n compound (1) (HPTSC =pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) and its spectroscopic and magnetic properties. ESI studies performed on the reaction of GSH with 1 and the analogous [{Cu (PTSC*)(ONO2)}2] derivative (2, HPTSC* =pyridine-2-carbaldehyde 4N-methylthiosemicarbazone) show the absence of peaks related with TSC-Cu-GSH species. However GS…
Real-life assessment of chronic rhinosinusitis patients using mobile technology: the mySinusitisCoach project by EUFOREA
2020
Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with a substantial personal and socioeconomic burden. Monitoring of patient‐reported outcomes by mobile technology offers the possibility to better understand real‐life burden of CRS. Methods This study reports on the cross‐sectional evaluation of data of 626 users of mySinusitisCoach (mSC), a mobile application for CRS patients. Patient characteristics of mSC users were analysed as well as the level of disease control based on VAS global rhinosinusitis symptom score and adapted EPOS criteria. Results The mSC cohort represents a heterogeneous group of CRS patients with a diverse pattern of major sy…
Low and very low density lipoprotein composition and resistance to copper-induced oxidation are not notably modified in smokers.
1997
To study whether tobacco use was associated with oxidative phenomena affecting lipoproteins, we estimated susceptibility of LDL and VLDL to an in vitro copper-mediated oxidation, and measured serum autoantibody titers against oxidized LDL in 45 middle-age healthy nonsmokers, 35 smokers and 37 ex-smokers of both sexes, taking into account the detailed lipid composition of the lipoproteins. VLDL from female smokers had higher triglyceride, phospholipid, apolipoprotein E and alpha-tocopherol content and showed a higher rate of copper-induced oxidation in comparison with those from nonsmokers (P < or = 0.05) whereas the relative composition of these particles in saturated, mono- or poly-unsatur…
Comparison and multiresolution analysis of irregular meshes with appearance attributes
2004
We present in this dissertation a method to compare and to analyse irregular meshes with appearance attributes. First, we propose a mesh comparison method using a new attribute deviation metric. Considered meshes contain geometric and appearance attributes (e.g. color, texture,temperature). The proposed deviation assessment allows the computation of local attribute differences between two meshes. We present an application of this method to mesh simplification algorithm quality assessment.Then we propose two multiresolution analysis schemes for irregular meshes with appearance attributes. First, a mesh is decomposed in a discret number of levels of detail. We introduce a surface geometry rel…
Simple connections between generalized hypergeometric series and dilogarithms
1997
AbstractConnections between generalized hypergeometric series and dilogarithms are investigated. Some simple relations of an Appell's function and dilogarithms are found.
Generalized hypergeometric functions and the evaluation of scalar one-loop integrals in Feynman diagrams
2000
Present and future high-precision tests of the Standard Model and beyond for the fundamental constituents and interactions in Nature are demanding complex perturbative calculations involving multi-leg and multi-loop Feynman diagrams. Currently, large effort is devoted to the search for closed expressions of loop integrals, written whenever possible in terms of known - often hypergeometric-type - functions. In this work, the scalar three-point function is re-evaluated by means of generalized hypergeometric functions of two variables. Finally, use is made of the connection between such Appell functions and dilogarithms coming from a previous investigation, to recover well-known results.
