6-Amino-2-(pivaloylamino)pyridinium benzoate
2013
In the crystal structure of the title salt, C10H16N3O+·C7H5O2−, the cations and anions are linked to each other via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains running along [010]. The crystal structure also features C—H⋯O and π–π stacking interactions, which assemble the chains into supramolecular layers parallel to (100). The π–π stacking interactions are observed between the pyridine rings of inversion-related cations with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.867 (2) Å.

Sad, lonely and looking for love? : representations of singleness on Cosmopolitan.com
2016
Yhdysvaltalaisessa yhteiskunnassa arvostetaan suuresti avioliittoa ja parisuhdetta, jonka ajatellaan olevan elämän tärkein ihmissuhde. Vaikka yksineläjien määrä on viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana ollut kasvussa, asenteet yksineläjiä ja yksineläjyyttä kohtaan ovat silti usein negatiivisia ja kyseenalaistamattomia. Niihin liittyvät negatiiviset stereotypiat heijastuvat mediarepresentaatioissa. Se, miten media puhuu yksineläjyydestä ja parisuhteista vaikuttaa ihmisten ajatusmaailmoihin sekä olemassa oleviin diskursiivisiin resursseihin, joiden avulla yksineläjät voivat käsitellä elämäänsä ja rakentaa identiteettiään. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee yksineläjyyden representaatioita nuorille naisill…
An Analysis of a Single Case of Comorbidity between Learning Disability and Borderline Intellectual Functioning
2012
Abstract In this study we explored a case of comorbidity between DSA and Borderline Intellectual Functioning. The girl was fourteen years old, ninth grade of school in Palermo, with significant learning difficulties. Two interviews were conducted, one with parents and one with teachers, to investigate the history of the girl's learning. In the pre-test phase the following cognitive areas were investigated: Q.I. (Level of Intelligence), decoding ability, reading comprehension and writing skills. Motivational-emotional profile was also evaluated: school motivation, self-handicapping strategies, self esteem and school anxiety. To assess these cognitive areas we used: Reading Comprehension Test…
Association between genetic variations in the insulin/insulin-like growth factor (Igf-1) signaling pathway and longevity: a systematic review and met…
2013
Some studies have shown that polymorphisms in the insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway genes could influence human longevity. However, the results of different studies are often inconsistent. Our aim was to investigate by systematic review and meta-analysis the association of the common polymorphisms defining the genetic variability of the IGF-1 signaling pathway associated with human longevity. Eleven studies investigating the association between the polymorphisms in the IGF-1 signaling pathway genes (IGF-1, IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R), Forkhead box O3A (FOXO3A) and Silent mating type Information Regulation 1 (SIRT1) and longevity were found and analyzed. The modelfree approach wa…
Creación de ocasiones de gol en fútbol de élite. Diferencias tácticas entre Real Madrid CF y FC Barcelona (Creating goal scoring opportunities in eli…
2017
El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los indicadores tácticos utilizados en la creación de ocasiones de gol entre Real Madrid C.F. (RMCF) y F.C. Barcelona (FCB). Todas las posesiones finalizadas en ocasión de gol (n=945) durante 64 partidos (32 por equipo) de la Liga BBVA 2011-2012 fueron analizadas a través de observación sistemática. Las posesiones fueron agrupadas según el tipo de inicio en “recuperaciones” (n=526), “reanudaciones” (n=199), y “acciones a balón parado” (n=175). 9 dimensiones relacionadas con indicadores tácticos fueron analizadas utilizando análisis chicuadrado. En recuperaciones, RMCF registro más penetración inicial (p<0.01), mayor porcentaje de contraataques (p&…
EEG-based biometrics: effects of template ageing
2020
This chapter discusses the effects of template ageing in EEG-based biometrics. The chapter also serves as an introduction to general biometrics and its main tasks: Identification and verification. To do so, we investigate different characterisations of EEG signals and examine the difference of performance in subject identification between single session and cross-session identification experiments. In order to do this, EEG signals are characterised with common state-of-the-art features, i.e. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Autoregression Coefficients, and Power Spectral Density-derived features. The samples were later classified using various classifiers, including Support Vecto…
Projection and Pinhole-Based Data Acquisition for Small-Animal SPECT Using Storage Phosphor Technology
2007
Three-dimensional Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) can provide high-resolution insight into biomolecular distribution and pharmacokinetics. However, instrument availability and distribution is limited at present,and imaging times can be considerable. To evaluate the large array of novel agents which are becoming available,we find that storage phosphor-based in vivo imaging can provide an important,rapid-throughput transition from the traditional ex vivo sacrifice/gamma counting and autoradiography to full-time course SPECT.
Patterns and rates of nucleotide substitution, insertion and deletion in the endosymbiont of antsBlochmannia floridanus
2009
Genome reduction is a general process that has been studied in numerous symbiotic bacteria associated with insects. We investigated the last stages of genome degradation in Blochmannia floridanus, a mutualistic bacterial endosymbiont of the ant Camponotus floridanus. We determined the tempo (rates of insertion and deletion) and mode (size and number of insertion-deletion events) of the process in the last 200,000 years by analysing a total of 16 intergenic regions in several strains of this endosymbiont from different ant populations. We provide the first calculation of the reduction rate for noncoding DNA in this endosymbiont (2.2 x 10(-8) lost nucleotides/site/year) and compare it with th…

Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism of RANK gene with blood pressure in Spanish women
2020
Abstract In addition to governing key functions in bone metabolism and the immune system, the RANK/RANKL/OPG system plays a role in the vascular system, particularly in vascular calcification and atherosclerosis. Given that these 2 phenotypes are considered a major cause of high blood pressure (BP), in this study we analyzed the association of SNPs in RANK and OPG genes with blood pressure. An observational study was conducted of 2 SNPs in the RANK gene (rs884205 and rs78326403) and 1 in the OPG gene (rs4876869) with systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in a cohort of 695 women. Data analysis revealed a statistically significant association between the SNP rs884205 and BP press…
