The influence of Fe3+ doping on thermally induced crystallization and phase evolution of amorphous calcium phosphate
2021
The present study investigates thermally induced crystallization and phase evolution of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) partially substituted with Fe3+ ions (M/P = 1.5 : 1). It was demonstrated that the presence of Fe3+ ions radically changes the crystallization behavior of ACP and completely prevents the formation of α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP, Ca3(PO4)2), which is the first crystalline phase obtained from non-substituted ACP upon thermal treatment. Surprisingly, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) was obtained instead of α-TCP. Such unusual crystallization behavior was observed with a doping level as low as 0.1 mol% with respect to Ca ions. Moreover, it was shown that the presenc…
Phase transitions and distortion of [BiCl6]3– octahedra in (C3H5NH3)3[BiCl6] – DSC and single-crystal X-Ray diffraction studies
2004
The DSC diagram of tris(allylammonium) hexachlorobismuthate(III), (C3H5NH3)3[BiCl6], revealed three anomalies at 152, 191 and 299 K. The structure of the salt was determined at 200 and 315 K, below and above the high-temperature phase transition at 299 K. In both phases the crystals are monoclinic. At 200 K the space group is C2/c whereas at 315 K it is C2/m. The structures, at both temperatures, are composed of [BiCl6]3− octahedra and allylammonium cations. The organic and inorganic moieties are attracted to each other by a network of the N-H. . .Cl hydrogen bonds. The relationship between corresponding parameters of the unit cells has been found. The phase transition at 299 K, of the orde…
Pregnenolone sulphate (PREGS) affects spatial learning and memory in two different cognitive tasks in adult rats. Influence of the emotional state.
2009
Pregnenolone sulphate (PREGS) is one of the most potent memory-enhancing neurosteroids in rodent learning studies, also involved in the modulation of the emotional state (Valleè et al 2001). Neurosteroids exert an important role as modulators of the neuronal activity by interacting with different receptors or ion channels (Urani et al 1998). Indeed PREGS acts as negative modulator of GABAA- and as positive modulator of NMDA -receptors. Altered levels of PREGS have also been reported during aging and in human neurodegenerative pathologies like Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of this study was to investigate, in adult male rats, the effects of a single injection of PREGS (10 mg/kg s.c.) on: i) o…
Hating Adolescents Test (HAT): a preliminary development of a measure to assess hating among adolescents
2020
The phenomenon of haters is becoming common among adolescents. The aims of the present research were to evaluate the preliminary psychometric properties of the Hating Adolescents Test (HAT), an ad hoc questionnaire created to evaluate online and offline hate (Study 1), and possible risk factors connected with hate (Study 2). Participants (202 female and 200 male) of this study completed the HAT, the How I Think Questionnaire, the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire, and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied. Preliminary data suggest how males reported higher level of hate than…
Epigenetic involvement in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: a mini-review.
2013
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human genetic disease that leads to a severe premature ageing phenotype, caused by mutations in the <i>LMNA</i> gene. The <i>LMNA</i> gene codes for lamin-A and lamin-C proteins, which are structural components of the nuclear lamina. HGPS is usually caused by a de novo <i>C1824T</i> mutation that leads to the accumulation of a dominant negative form of lamin-A called progerin. Progerin also accumulates physiologically in normal ageing cells as a rare splicing form of lamin-A transcripts. From this perspective, HGPS cells seem to be good candidates for the study of the physiological mechanisms of ageing…
Crystal structure of bis(2-aminoanilinium) hydrogen phosphate
2016
In the title compound, the hydrogen phosphate anions are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to [100]. The inorganic anionic chains and the organic cations are linked by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional supramolecular network extending parallel to (001).
Diethyl (1-benzyl-4-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)phosphonate
2017
In the title compound, C22H23F3NO3P, the dihedral angles between the pyrrole ring and the benzyl and phenyl rings are 81.38 (7) and 46.21 (8)°, respectively. The ethyl phosphate groups present with P—O—C—C torsion angles of −178.47 (10) and 106.72 (16)°, and an intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. In the extended structure, molecules are linked by C—H...O and C—H...F hydrogen bonds to generate [001] chains.
Tris(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)nickel(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate)
2018
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C36H24N6)3](PF6)2, contains one and a half nickel(II) complex dications and three hexafluoridophosphate anions, one of the dications having crystallographic twofold rotational symmetry. Each NiIIatom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry provided by the six N atoms of three bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligands with bite angles of 79.68 (11)–80.76 (12)°. In the crystal, C—H...F hydrogen bonds link the anions and dications into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework. Within the framework complex dications with twofold rotational symmetry are linked by weak π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.712 (2…
Soziale Medien als fünfte Gewalt: Strategische Organisation deutscher und finnischer Gegenredekampagnen auf Facebook
2023
Social media, as the fifth estate, increasingly influence public discourses and play a major role in shaping public opinion. Undoubtedly, they have the potential to promote participation and democracy. On the other side, they also constitute a risk for democratic societies, as the spread of hate speech and fake news has shown. As a response, forms of counterspeech organised by civil society have emerged in social media to counter the normalisation of hate speech and democracy-threatening discourses. In order to influence discourse in social media in terms of the fifth estate, counterspeech campaigns must be visible also quantitatively. In this ethnographic contrastive study, I analysed…
