El rol del modelo de las competencias en la reconfiguración meritocrática de las pautas de negociación salarial en empresas argentinas: continuidades…
2020
The development of new models of work organization and the complementary advance of flexible guidelines for the use of the labor force had as a correlate a profound change in techniques for the evaluation of workers. Thus, the typical model of Fordism, based on qualifications, was replaced by a different one based on competencies, whereby the strong relationship of the former was abandoned with the determination of the technical knowledge required for each job to move to a system which the priority is placed in the individual attitude. The consequent individualization of performance evaluations can lead to a possible loss of objectivity. In this article we develop a theoretical comparison b…
New reactions and step economy: the total synthesis of (±)-salsolene oxide based on the type II transition metal-catalyzed intramolecular [4+4] cyclo…
2006
Studies on the viability of the type II nickel-catalyzed intramolecular [4+4] cycloaddition of bis-dienes show that it is influenced by both diene substitution and geometry. Both E- and Z-isomers of 19 and 20 react, albeit at markedly different rates, to afford cycloadducts, whereas only the Z-isomer of 9 (and not the E-isomer) reacts to give 8 and 25. Chemoselective elaboration of 8 to (±)-salsolene oxide (7) was used to confirm the cycloadduct structure while establishing a step economical route to the natural product.
Diastereoselective synthesis of spongian diterpenes. Total synthesis of the furanoditerpene (−)-spongia-13(16),14-diene
1999
Abstract An effective diastereoselective synthesis of the marine-sponge metabolite (−)-spongia-13(16),14-diene 1 is achieved starting from S-(+)-carvone via a homochiral phenanthrenone as the key intermediate for the construction of the furan ring system. S-(+)-Carvone was transformed into the phenanthrenone 2a in six steps (53% overall yield), using an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction as the key step. Conversion of the enone function in 2a into an epoxyaldehyde function followed by cyclisation and aromatisation in acid conditions completed the construction of ring D.
Shear capacity in concrete beams reinforced by stirrups with two different inclinations
2014
Abstract A model for the estimation of shear capacity in Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams with web reinforcement is provided by introducing a generalization of classical plastic Nielsen’s model, which is based on the variable-inclination stress-field approach. The proposed model is able to predict the shear capacity in RC beams reinforced by means of stirrups having two different inclinations and longitudinal web bars. A numerical comparison with the results of experimental tests and those provided by a Finite Element Model (FEM) based on the well known theory of Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) is carried out for validating the robustness of the proposed model. Finally, a set of para…
A New Software Tool for Design, Optimization, and Complete Analysis of Rotating Electrical Machines Windings
2015
In this paper, a new software tool developed by the authors for ac winding design, optimization, and complete analysis is presented. In particular, this software can be used as a valid aid in design and analysis for a wide variety of motor and generator windings with generic number of phases (including the case of those machines in which some slots are left empty), pole pairs, slot number, and so on. The calculation of winding factors and the evaluation of their harmonic distribution is also accomplished. The software is implemented in the MATLAB programming environment. By means of some examples, covering the most relevant winding types, the capabilities of this software will be shown. In …
Energetics of conformational conversion between 1,1,2-trichloroethane polymorphs
2008
Pressure-induced transformations between gauche-, gauche+ and transoid conformations have been evidenced by X-ray single-crystal diffraction for 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and the energies of intermolecular interactions, conformational conversion, and the latent heat have been determined.
Columnar supramolecular architecture of crystals of 2-(4-Iodophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline derived from values of intermolecular interaction energy
2011
Using results of X-ray diffraction study supramolecular architecture of crystals of 2-(4-iodophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline has been analyzed on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations of intermolecular interactions energy. It is demonstrated that these crystals have three levels of organization. Molecules form stacked dimers with the highest binding energy (first level). These dimers represent basic unit of infinite columns stabilized by stacking interactions between dimers (second level). The energy of intermolecular interactions between neighbouring stacked columns is very close. This does not allow to figure out any layers in the crystal. Therefore crystals of this compound have columna…
Complex Ordering in Thin Films of Di- and Trifunctionalized Hexaalkoxytriphenylene Derivatives
1997
We have used pressure−area isotherms, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and infrared dichroism to study Langmuir and Langmuir−Blodgett films of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaalkoxytriphenylenes which...
Revisiting the charge density analysis of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone at 20 K
2017
A high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) at 20 K was carried out. The experimental charge density was modeled using the Hansen–Coppens multipolar expansion and the topology of the electron density was analyzed in terms of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Two different multipole models, predominantly differentiated by the treatment of the chlorine atom, were obtained. The experimental results have been compared to theoretical results in the form of a multipolar refinement against theoretical structure factors and through direct topological analysis of the electron density obtained from the optimized periodic wavefunction. The si…
Electric and dielectric properties of nanostructured stoichiometric and excess-iron Ni–Zn ferrites
2013
In this paper, we report a study of the effect of excess iron on structural, microstructural, electric and dielectric properties of the nanostructured Ni–Zn ferrites Ni1−xZnxFe2+zO4−δ of different compositions with x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1 and z = 0, 0.1. The structural and microstructural properties are estimated from x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM) data. The average grain size, evaluated from AFM topographical analysis, is found to be below 70 nm. The samples exhibit low values of dielectric constant and dielectric loss and a high resistivity. Contrary to earlier conclusions regarding microstructured Ni–Zn ferrites, in nanostructured Ni–Zn ferrites sintered at relativel…
