Quantum-chemical determination of Born–Oppenheimer breakdown parameters for rotational constants: the open-shell species CN, CO+ and BO
2013
The quantum-chemical protocol for computing Born-Oppenheimer breakdown corrections to rotational constants in the case of diatomic molecules is extended to open-shell species. The deviation from the Born-Oppenheimer equilibrium rotational constant is obtained by considering three contributions: the adiabatic correction to the equilibrium bond distance, the electronic contribution to the moment of inertia requiring the computation of the rotational g-tensor, and the so-called Dunham correction. Values for the Born-Oppenheimer breakdown parameters of CN, CO+, and BO in their (2)sigma(+) electronic ground states are reported based on coupled-cluster calculations of the involved quantities and …
Ultrasonography (US) in the assessment of pediatric non traumatic gastrointestinal emergencies
2013
AbstractBackgroundNon traumatic gastrointestinal emergencies in the children and neonatal patient is a dilemma for the radiologist in the emergencies room and they presenting characteristics ultrasound features on the longitudinal and axial axis. The most frequent emergencies are : appendicitis, intussusceptions, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, volvulus due to intestinal malrotation. The aim of this article is to familiarize the reader with the US features.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 200 ultrasound examinations performed in neonatal and children patients with fever, abdominal pain, leukocytosis, vomiting and diarrhea were evaluated.ResultsOf 200 exame 50 cases of intussusceptions, 100…
The vibrational levels of methane obtained from analyses of high-resolution spectra
2006
International audience; Methane and its tetrahedral isotopologues are spherical-top molecules whose high-resolution rovibrational spectra can only be analyzed in detail, thanks to sophisticated symmetry-adapted tensorial models. However, the effective Hamiltonian parameters of such models do not give direct access to the positions of the vibrational sublevels. In this paper, we present a calculation of the vibrational level positions for 12CH4, 13CH4, 12CD4 and 13CD4 performed using the effective Hamiltonian parameters obtained through recent analyses. We also include the results of a re-analysis of the octad system of 12CH4 performed with a higher order of the development which slightly im…
Rotational spectra and hyperfine structure of isotopic species of deuterated cyanoacetylene, DC3N
2008
Abstract Cyanoacetylene enriched in deuterium was used to record pure rotational transitions of DC 3 N and its rare 13 C and 15 N isotopic species by employing Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectroscopy on a supersonic-jet expansion at centimeter wavelengths (8.2–25.4 GHz) and by using long-path absorption spectroscopy at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths (82–900 GHz). In addition, submillimeter wave measurements (304–897 GHz) have been performed for DC 3 N in its v 7 = 1 lowest excited vibrational state. Hyperfine structure caused by the 14 N and D nuclei has been resolved in the FTMW spectra. Quantum-chemical calculations have been performed on the hyperfine structure paramete…
Preferencias de los y las estudiantes universitarias sobre el empleo desde una perspectiva de género

Acute appendicitis and situs viscerum inversus: radiological and surgical approach—a systematic review
2023
Abstract Introduction Acute appendicitis is one of the most frequent intra-abdominal diseases requiring emergency surgical consult and treatment. The diagnosis of this condition is based on clinical features and radiologic findings. One-third of patients with acute appendicitis present unusual symptoms. There are several circumstances that may cause misdiagnosis and unclear prognostic prediction. Among these, situs viscerum inversus totalis and midgut malrotation can be challenging scenarios, leading to a delay in treatment, especially when these conditions are unknown. We decided to carry on a systematic review of published cases of acute appendicitis in the context of anatomical anomalies…
Translation, adaptation and psychometric validation of the preterm birth experience and satisfaction scale (P-BESS) into Spanish.
2018
Abstract Background Preterm labour and birth are two of the most important issues in perinatal care. The birth of a preterm baby is often a stressful and traumatic time for parents. Assessment of satisfaction with maternity services is crucial and questionnaires are the most common method as long as they are well-constructed. Only one, The Preterm Birth Experience and Satisfaction Scale (P-BESS), developed in United Kingdom, has been designed for this specific birth type. Objectives To translate, transculturally adapt and assess the psychometric properties of the P-BESS into Spanish. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Maternity unit of a tertiary level hospital in Spain. Participants A t…
Functional evaluation of patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury. A transversal analytical study.
2018
Abstract Objective To evaluate, by means of biomechanical analysis, functional alterations of gait and balance of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Material and methods Transversal analytical study on 64 people, 27 health subjects and 37 patients with ACL injury. Biomechanical analysis of gait in all individuals was performed by means of four tests: (1) kinematic test, to characterize gait pattern; (2) kinetic test, to characterize forces against the floor, duration of treads, symmetry of both legs, and the reproducibility of the gait; (3) pivot-shift test, to analyze the rotational stability of the knee on the sagittal axis; and (4) equilibrium test. Results Alteration…
Mentally represented motor actions in normal agingII. The influence of the gravito-inertial context on the duration of overt and covert arm movements
2007
Here, we address the question of whether normal aging influences action representation by comparing the ability of 14 young (age: 23.6 +/- 2.1 years) and 14 older (age: 70.1 +/- 4.5 years) adults to mentally simulate arm movements under a varying dynamic context. We conducted two experiments in which we experimentally manipulated the gravity and inertial components of arm dynamics: (i) unloaded and loaded vertical arm movements, rotation around the shoulder joint, (ii) unloaded and loaded horizontal arm movements, rotations around the shoulder and elbow joints, in two directions (inertial anisotropy phenomenon). The main findings indicated that imagery ability was equivalent between the two…
The Temporal Structure of Vertical Arm Movements
2011
Import JabRef | WosArea Life Sciences and Biomedicine - Other Topics; International audience; The present study investigates how the CNS deals with the omnipresent force of gravity during arm motor planning. Previous studies have reported direction-dependent kinematic differences in the vertical plane; notably, acceleration duration was greater during a downward than an upward arm movement. Although the analysis of acceleration and deceleration phases has permitted to explore the integration of gravity force, further investigation is necessary to conclude whether feedforward or feedback control processes are at the origin of this incorporation. We considered that a more detailed analysis of…
