Circular RNA in Exosomes
2018
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel family of non-coding endogenous RNAs discovered in all eukaryotic cells and generated through a particular mechanism of alternative splicing called “back-splicing”. These molecules show multiple functions, by acting as modulators of gene and miRNA expression, and may have a role in several biological processes, such as cell proliferation and invasion with, tumour development and progression, and in several mechanisms underlying other diseases. Their presence has been shown to be abundant in several body fluids such as blood and saliva. Based on their biogenesis mechanism, cir- cRNAs may be categorized into five classes: exonic circRNAs, intronic circRNAs…
Public spending decisions and the role of municipalities in local development in Argentina: An approach from the municipal autonomy and social and po…
2018
El desarrollo endógeno es un tema prioritario en la agenda municipal, atento el rol de liderazgo que les compete a los gobiernos locales en este proceso. A raíz de distintos procesos de descentralización operados desde el nivel central de gobierno hacia los subnacionales, los municipios se han visto obligados a diseñar estrategias y políticas públicas conjuntas con los distintos actores locales, individuos, organizaciones, políticos y asociaciones de la sociedad civil en general, en la búsqueda de soluciones a las problemáticas que plantea la sociedad hoy. En este trabajo se intentará analizar cómo se inserta el gobierno local, en tanto articulador de los esfuerzos de la comunidad, dentro d…
Apuntes sobre la epigrafía romana de Valentia
2012
En este artículo intentamos ofrecer una síntesis actualizada sobre la epigrafía romana de la ciudad de Valentia. Para ello hemos revisado el corpus de la colonia e incorporado los últimos hallazgos epigráficos. De esta manera pretendemos exponer un estado de la cuestión sobre la información que la epigrafía nos proporciona para el conocimiento de la historia de las primeras etapas de la vida en la ciudad, concerniente a diversos aspectos de su vida ciudadana como la administración local, la pràctica religiosa y la estructura social. In this paper we provide an updated summary on Roman epigraphy of the city of Valentia. So we have reviewed the corpus of the colony and incorporated the latest…

The challenge in realizing an exchange coupled BiFeO3-double perovskite bilayer
2020
Abstract In this work we propose a device design for efficient voltage control of magnetism. The magnetization of a ferrimagnetic double perovskite may be manipulated by an exchange coupled layer of multiferroic BiFeO3. Bilayers of Barium doped BiFeO3 and ferrimagnetic double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition motivated by the possibility of strong interlayer exchange coupling. While single layers of each material show high quality we observe that in both stacking orders the first layer decomposes during the deposition of the second layer. The reason for the decomposition are strongly differing growth conditions for BiFeO3 and Sr2FeMoO6. This means that the g…
Ab initio calculations of structural, electronic and vibrational properties of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 perovskite crystals with oxygen vacancies
2020
The first-principles (ab initio) computations of the structural, electronic, and phonon properties have been performed for cubic and low-temperature tetragonal phases of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 perovskite crystals, both stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric (with neutral oxygen vacancies). Calculations were performed with the CRYSTAL17 computer code within the linear combination of atomic orbitals approximation, using the B1WC advanced hybrid exchange-correlation functional of the density-functional-theory (DFT) and the periodic supercell approach. Various possible spin states of the defective systems were considered by means of unrestricted (open shell) DFT calculations. It was demonstrated that…
Continuous hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical conditions as a novel process for the elaboration of Y-doped BaZrO3
2021
Abstract The present work describes a novel process for the elaboration of a ceramic material. Y-doped barium zirconate, an electrolyte material for Protonic Ceramic Fuel cell, was synthesized by a continuous hydrothermal process in supercritical conditions (410 °C/30.0 MPa) using nitrate precursors and NaOH reactants. The use of supercritical water allowed the formation of particles of about 50 nm in diameter with a narrow size distribution. X-Ray Diffraction examination revealed that a major perovskite phase with few BaCO3 and YO(OH) impurities was obtained. BaCO3 is assumed to form due to faster kinetics than Y-doped BaZrO3 resulting in a Ba-deficient perovskite phase. The Ba-deficiency …

Thorough evaluation of OECD principles in modelling of 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine derivatives using QSARINS.
2020
The human immunodeficiency virus is a lethal pathology considered as a worldwide problem. The search for new strategies for the treatment of this disease continues to be a great challenge in the scientific community. In this study, a series of 107 derivatives of 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine, previously evaluated experimentally against HIV-I reverse transcriptase, was used to model antiretroviral activity. A model of linear regression, implemented in the QSARINS software, was developed with a genetic algorithm for variable selection. The fit of its parameters was good and exhaustive validation, according to the OECD regulatory principles, was performed. Also, the applica…
Gold-Catalyzed Povarov-Type Reaction of Fluorinated Imino Esters and Furans
2016
A gold-catalyzed Povarov-type reaction of fluorinated imino esters and furans is described. The process, which takes place in dichoromethane at room temperature, gives rise to novel fluorinated tetrahydrofuran-fused tetrahydroquinolines in good yields and moderate levels of diastereo-selectivity in a very simple manner. The reported examples expand the versatility of the Povarov reaction to unprecedented fluorinated substrates, generating scaffolds that contain quaternary alpha-amino acid units.
