Quaternary Heusler Compounds without Inversion Symmetry: CoFe 1+ x Ti 1– x Al and CoMn 1+ x V 1– x Al
2011
We report the quaternary Heusler compound derivatives CoFe1+xTi1–xAl and CoMn1+xV1–xAl, which do not have centers of inversion. Classical T2T′M (T, T′ = transition metal, M = main group element) Heusler compounds (prototype: Cu2MnAl) crystallize in the L21 structure, space group Fmm (225) that exhibits a center of inversion. Replacing one of the T2 atoms by another transition element (T″) results in a quaternary TT′T″M compound with F3m symmetry (Y; structure type LiMgPdSn) without center of inversion. In the case of “quasi closed shell” compounds with 24 valence electrons in the primitive cell, one expects the absence of ferromagnetism according to the Slater–Pauling rule. Increasing the n…

1985
Zusammenfassung Durch Umsetzung von 4-Tolylguanidin mit den entsprechenden fluorierten β-Diketonen in Gegenwart von Natriumcarbonat im Schmelzfluβ sind die folgenden 4-Trifluormethyl-2-(4-toluidino) pyrimidine zuganglich gemacht worden: die 6-Methyl-, 6-Ethyl-, 6-Isopropyl-, 6-tert. Butyl- und 6-Isopentyl-Abkommlinge. Zur Charakterisierung der dargestellten Verbindungen sind IR-, 1H-NMR- und MS-Daten herangezogen worden.

Similarity-Based Virtual Screening to Find Antituberculosis Agents Based on Novel Scaffolds: Design, Syntheses and Pharmacological Assays
2022
A method to identify molecular scaffolds potentially active against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) is developed. A set of structurally heterogeneous agents against MTBC was used to obtain a mathematical model based on topological descriptors. This model was statistically validated through a Leave-n-Out test. It successfully discriminated between active or inactive compounds over 86% in database sets. It was also useful to select new potential antituberculosis compounds in external databases. The selection of new substituted pyrimidines, pyrimidones and triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines was particularly interesting because these structures could provide new scaffolds in this field. T…

Zusammenfassung Die Synthese von fluorhaltigen 4,6-disubstituierten 2-(4- Nitroanilino)pyrimidinen gelingt durch Reaktion von 4-Nitrophenylguanidin- hydrochlorid mit fluorierten β-Diketonen in Gegenwart von Kaliumcarbonat im Schmelzflus. Die Substituenten in 4,6-Stellung des Pyrimidinringes umfassen einerseits Perfluoralkylgruppierungen, wie Trifluormethyl- und Heptafluorpropylgruppen, andererseits Alkyl- und Arylgruppierungen, wie Methyl-, Ethyl-, Isopropyl-, 3-Methylbutyl-, tert. Butyl-, Phenyl- und 2-Naphthylgruppen. Zur Charakterisierung der dargestellten substituierten Pyrimidine sind massenspektroskopische und IR-Daten herangezogen worden.
Assessment of Pesticide Residues in Honey Samples from Portugal and Spain
2003
Fifty samples of honey collected from local markets of Portugal and Spain during year 2002 were analyzed for 42 organochlorine, carbamate, and organophosphorus pesticide residues. An analytical procedure based on solid-phase extraction with octadecyl sorbent followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), for organochlorines, and by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS), for organophosphorus and carbamates, has been developed. Recoveries of spiked samples ranged from 73 to 98%, except for dimethoate (40%), with relative standard deviations from 3 to16% in terms of repeatability, and from 6 to 19% in terms of reproducibility. …
Solid-phase microextraction-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry applied to the analysis of insecticides in honey
2007
An approach based on solid-phase microextraction-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-LC-MS) has been developed for determining 12 insecticides (bromophos ethyl, chlorpyrifos methyl, chlorpyrifos ethyl, diazinon, fenoxycarb, fonofos, phenthoate, phosalone, pirimiphos methyl, profenofos, pyrazophos, and temephos) in honey. The influence of several parameters on the efficiency of the SPME was systematically investigated. Under optimal conditions, the procedure provided excellent linearity (>0.990), detection and quantification limits (between 0.001 and 0.1 microg g(-1) and between 0.005 and 0.5 microg g(-1), respectively), and precision (<19% at the quantification limits and from 6 t…
Combining Hexanoic Acid Plant Priming with Bacillus thuringiensis Insecticidal Activity against Colorado Potato Beetle
2013
Interaction between insect herbivores and host plants can be modulated by endogenous and exogenous compounds present in the source of food and might be successfully exploited in Colorado potato beetle (CPB) pest management. Feeding tests with CPB larvae reared on three solanaceous plants (potato, eggplant and tomato) resulted in variable larval growth rates and differential susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa toxin as a function of the host plant. An inverse correlation with toxicity was observed in Cry3Aa proteolytic patterns generated by CPB midgut brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) from Solanaceae-fed larvae, being the toxin most extensively proteolyzed on potato, followed…
Cross-talk between minimally primed HL-60 cells and resting HUVEC reveals a crucial role for adhesion over extracellularly released oxidants
2011
This study demonstrates that a long-lasting co-culture of neutrophil surrogates (HL-60 cells), minimally primed by platelet activating factor (PAF), and resting endothelial cells (EC) results in the elaboration of an hyper-adhesive endothelial surface, as measured by the increase in the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules E-Selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1. This endothelial dysfunction is mediated by the activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-κB through an exclusive adhesion-driven mechanism active in the endothelial cell: reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, extracellularly released by minimally primed HL-60 cells, are not involved in the induction of the endotheli…
Gender discrimination and intergenerational transmission of preferences
2004
This paper provides an explanation for the existence of gender discrimination in the labour market focusing on the intergenerational transmission of preferences related to the attitude of women towards jobs and family. Changes in women's preferences over generations depend on the socialization efforts of their parents which in turn are influenced by both the firm's expected recruitment policy and the expected utility from household care. We obtain two types of steady state equilibria: the discriminatory equilibrium, in which women are segregated to low-paid jobs, and the non-discriminatory equilibrium, in which women are hired in highly-paid jobs. The conditions of convergence to each equil…
