Calculation of the surface concentration of Zn(I) from the anodic voltammetric peak of zinc combined with the QCM results
2004
Deconvolution of voltammograms of anodic dissolution of zinc has proved to be possible through the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance data and the F(dm/dQ) function. This deconvolution allows to calculate the surface concentration of Zn(I) and to obtain an estimation for the kinetic constant of the second single-electron transfer. Keywords: Zinc anodic dissolution, EQCM, Surface concentration, Deconvolution and kinetic constant
Estimation of free energies of anion transfer from solid-state electrochemistry of alkynyl-based Au(I) dinuclear and Au(I)–Cu(I) cluster complexes co…
2011
A method is presented to determine the free energy for anion transfer between two solvents. This is based on solid-state electrochemistry of alkynyl-based dinuclear Au(I) complexes (AuC2R)2PPh2C6H4PPh2 (L1: R=Fc; L2: R=C6H4Fc) and heterometallic Au(I)–Cu(I) [{Au3Cu2 (C2R)6}Au3(PPh2C6H4PPh2)3](PF6)2 (L3: R=Fc; L4: R=C6H4Fc) complexes. These compounds exhibit a reversible ferrocenyl-centred solid-state oxidation processes involving anion insertion in contact with aqueous, MeOH and MeCN electrolytes. Voltammetric data can be used for a direct measurement of the free energy of ion transfer using midpeak potentials in solutions of suitable salts in the solvents separately or in mixtures of the s…
Electrochemically assisted anion insertion in Au(I)–Cu(I) heterotrimetallic clusters bearing ferrocenyl groups: Application to the fluoride/chloride …
2010
The heterotrimetallic Au(I)–Cu(I) aggregate [{Au3Cu2(C2C6H4Fc)6}Au3(PPh2C6H4PPh2)3](PF6)2 exhibits a well-defined solid state electrochemistry in contact with aqueous media, based on ferrocenyl-centred oxidation processes involving anion insertion. Upon attachment of microparticulate deposits of the cluster to graphite electrodes, distinctive electrochemical responses can be obtained for fluoride and chloride ions in aqueous media. Keywords: Heterometallic clusters, Gold, Copper, Fluoride/chloride discrimination, Electrochemical anion insertion
Chromia on silica and zirconia oxides as recyclable oxidizing system: structural and surface characterization of the active chromium species for oxid…
2004
Chromium oxide samples supported over silica and zirconia were prepared by wet impregnation of the supports with aqueous solution of CrO3. In order to investigate the influence of the preparation method on the chromium dispersion and oxidation state, one sample was prepared by sol-gel technique. The materials were structurally characterized by XRD analysis. The oxidation states of chromium species were investigated by XPS, DRS and TPR/TPO techniques. EPR analyses were also carried out for the sample Cr/SiO2, that due to the low crystalline state exhibits broad XPS signals. In this case, particular attention was paid to the presence of Cr(V) and Cr (III) species and their concentration. The …

La Cumparsita: a source of lawsuits Contursi and Maroni vs. Matos Rodríguez
2016
This article deploys Tango along with the lawsuits concerning to whom participated in the elaboration of “La Cumparsita” and its lyrics as a frame of reference for discussing about copyrights and intellectual property. In addition to giving an opinion about the procedure to arrive at the final solution related to the adjudication of the copyrights along its effects of that in each one of the beneficiaries, the author tell us a little bit of the process of creating this musical composition as well as the scope it had during its time. El presente artículo utiliza al Tango, a los pleitos y personajes que participaron en la elaboración de La cumparista y sus letras, como marco referencial para …
Anthropogenic soils are the golden spikes for the Anthropocene
2011
We propose that the Anthropocene be defined as the last c. 2000 years of the late Holocene and characterized on the basis of anthropogenic soils. This contrasts with the original definition of the Anthropocene as the last c. 250 years (since the Industrial Revolution) and more recent proposals that the Anthropocene began some 5000 to 8000 years ago in the early to mid Holocene (the early-Anthropocene hypothesis). Anthropogenic soil horizons, of which several types are recognized, provide extensive terrestrial stratigraphic markers for defining the start of the Anthropocene. The pedosphere is regarded as the best indicator of the rise to dominance of human impacts on the total environment b…
Sources of geomaterials in the Sicani Mountains during the Early Middle Ages: A case study of Contrada Castro, central western Sicily
2022
From 2017, an unknown rural settlement in Contrada Castro at Corleone (Palermo Province, western Sicily) was investigated as part of the `Harvesting Memories Project¿. The stratigraphic sequence, supported by radiocarbon dating, has demonstrated a reoccupation of a pre-Roman site during the transition between the Byzantine and Islamic periods. In particular, the main occupation occurred in the late 8th¿9th century when pottery kilns and a probable warehouse were constructed. During the 10th¿11th century, a new structure with different orientations replaced the previous buildings that had already collapsed. Specifically focusing on a perspective of the household production and its relationsh…
A smartphone-based innovative approach to discriminate red pigments in roman frescoes mock-ups
2022
The characterization of red pigments in frescoes wall paintings has been of great interest for researchers to better understand raw material procurement dynamics, pigment receipts, stylistic evolution and to assess their conservation state. In this study a non-destructive colorimetric approach implementing a smartphone-based method was developed in order to be able to distinguish between three pigments made from minium, haematite and cinnabar minerals, and also mixed pigments, preparing frescoes mock-ups following the roman receipt described by Vitruvius. Portable FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, portable XRF and visible reflectance spectra analyses were carried out as reference methods for smart…
Il valore educativo della città
2018
Non vi è dubbio che la città costituisca l’ambito privilegiato di sviluppo del processo educativo e delle varie forme di attività didattiche. In tal senso, essa diviene il principale contesto di esercizio dell’apprendimento cognitivo e percettivo, talvolta non pienamente consapevole e con ripercussioni teoriche e operative differenti. Le esperienze educative narrate in questo volume rappresentano l’incipit o l’exordium di un discorso intorno alla città, nella sua generalità, e sulla città - Palermo - rivolto a giovani discenti liceali con la finalità di infondere e di riscontrare una vasta condivisione di topoi emozionali, ancor prima che culturali. Per ottenere questo, occorre solle…
