Conformationally Locked Pyramidality Explains the Diastereoselectivity in the Methylation of trans-Fused Butyrolactones
2020
A stereoselectivity model inspired by the total synthesis of stemona alkaloids is developed to explain why enolate-derived 3,4-fused butyrolactones are methylated with a preference for syn alkylation. The model shows how conformational locking present in nonplanar enolate structures favors syn over anti methylation, due to less significant structural distortions in the syn pathway. The developed model was also successfully used to rationalize selectivities of previously documented methylation reactions. peerReviewed
Mozi - anima naturaliter christiana wśród Stu Szkół Filozoficznych
2021
Mozi, żyjący w Okresie Walczących Królestw, był oryginalnym myślicielem, a moizm był jedną z najważniejszych wśród Stu Szkół Filozoficznych starożytnych Chin. Jego poglądy dotyczące uniwersalnej miłości (jidn aiH®), wiary w istnienie Boga oraz koncepcji państwa i rządów merytokracji wciąż pozostają inspirujące, pomimo iż historycznie przegrały z konfucjanizmem. W polskojęzycznej literaturze Mozi jest postacią nieznaną i domaga się badań w kilku przestrzeniach, które mają wpływ na zrozumienie jego myśli: czasów Moziego, jego osoby, jego poglądów, moizmu wśród Stu Szkół Filozoficznych, „Mozi" - jako księgi oraz późniejszego - także współczesnego - oddziaływania. Na Moziego powołują się zarówn…
“They’re a little bit squeezed in the middle”: Strategic challenges for innovation in US Metropolitan newspaper organisations
2019
This paper focuses on media innovation among publishers of metropolitan newspapers in the United States, in cities such as San Diego, Boston, Miami, Philadelphia and Dallas. The situation for metropolitan newspapers is difficult, as they fall between national newspapers, which can aim for extending their reach both nationally and globally, and local newspapers, which have a smaller cost structure and can cater to a more limited, and often more engaged, audience community. Our paper demonstrates that there seems to be great awareness of what can be done by US metropolitan newspapers, but managers are struggling with constraints, such as lack of financial and human resources and general organ…

2020
The purpose of this research is to quantify the impact of economic uncertainty shocks in Spain by using a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) approach with data from the first quarter of 2001 u...
Succession of states in respect of state responsibility: towards yet another Vienna Convention?
2019
The present work analyses the historical evolution of the rules on succession of states as well as provides a review of case law where the Court referred to the concept of state succession to international responsibility, expressly or by implication. The author analyses the wording of the proposed Draft Articles and attempts to establish whether and how the principles of automatic succession and non-succession apply in different circumstances, based on the newly developed provisions. The purpose of the study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed Articles as well as discuss whether there is a need for such rules at all, or are the existing legal rules enough.
A comparative study of carboxy myoglobin in saccharide-water systems by molecular dynamics simulation.
2007
Results from room-temperature molecular dynamics simulation on a system containing carboxy-myoglobin, water, and maltose molecules are reported. Protein atomic fluctuations, protein−solvent and solvent−solvent hydrogen bonding have been analyzed and compared to the ones in trehalose−water and sucrose−water systems (Proteins 2005, 59, 291−302). Results help in rationalizing, at a molecular level, the effects of homologues disaccharides on protein structure/dynamics experimentally observed. Furthermore, the effectiveness of disaccharides in bioprotection in terms of peculiar protein−matrix coupling is also discussed.
Commentary
2021
The possibility to compel the appearance of a witness in front of the ICC is not expressly provided for by the Statute. The Appeals Chamber in the case of Ruto and Sang has resolved, for the first time since the entry into force of the ICC, the question related to its power to compel a witness to testify; moreover it has established that State parties may compel the witness to appear in their territory in order to ensure the oral hearing also by way of a video-link from the Hague to the location of the witness.
Thermal, electric and spin transport in superconductor/ferromagnetic-insulator structures
2019
A ferromagnetic insulator (FI) attached to a conventional superconductor (S) changes drastically the properties of the latter. Specifically, the exchange field at the FI/S interface leads to a splitting of the superconducting density of states. If S is a superconducting film, thinner than the superconducting coherence length, the modification of the density of states occurs over the whole sample. The co-existence of the exchange splitting and superconducting correlations in S/FI structures leads to striking transport phenomena that are of interest for applications in thermoelectricity, superconducting spintronics and radiation sensors. Here we review the most recent progress in understandin…
Scanning tunnelling spectroscopy study of paramagnetic superconducting β''-ET(4)[(H(3)O)Fe(C(2)O(4))(3)]·C(6)H(5)Br crystals.
2010
Scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) and microscopy (STM) were performed on the paramagnetic molecular superconductor β''-ET(4)[(H(3)O)Fe(C(2)O(4))(3)]·C(6)H(5)Br. Under ambient pressure, this compound is located near the boundary separating superconducting and insulating phases of the phase diagram. In spite of a strongly reduced critical temperature T(c) (T(c) = 4.0 K at the onset, zero resistance at T(c) = 0.5 K), the low temperature STS spectra taken in the superconducting regions show strong similarities with the higher T(c) ET κ-derivatives series. We exploited different models for the density of states (DOS), with conventional and unconventional order parameters to take into accoun…
