Comment on “Crystallographic Snapshot of an Arrested Intermediate in the Biomimetic Activation of CO2”
2015
Out of focus: A recent Communication published in this journal describes the synthesis of [nBu4 N]HCO3 . The authors performed a single-crystal X-ray study that revealed a putative species described as an incipient hydroxide ion engaging in a long, and presumably weak, interaction with CO2 . Our recent exploration of the coordination chemistry of CO2 with small ions leads us to believe that such an exceptional bonding situation is unlikely. Instead, we argue that the crystal structure is that of [nBu4 N]O2 CCH3 and therefore not representative of the bulk powder from the synthesis.
Halogen Bonds in Square Planar 2,5-Dihalopyridine-Copper(II) Bromide Complexes
2018
Halogen bonding in self-complementary 1:2 metal–ligand complexes obtained from copper(II) bromide (CuBr2) and seven 2,5-dihalopyridines were analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All presented discrete complexes form 1D polymeric chains connected with C–X···Br–Cu halogen bonds (XB). In (2-chloro-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) only the C5-halogen and in (2-bromo-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) both C2- and C5-halogens form C–X···Br–Cu halogen bonds with the X acting as the XB donor and copper-coordinated bromide as the XB acceptor. The electron-withdrawing C2-chloride in (2-chloro-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 complexes has only a minor effect on the C5–X5···Br–Cu XBs, a…
Involucri Traslucidi in Vetromattone: nuove tecniche di assemblaggio a secco ed incremento prestazionale del prodotto per la riduzione del valore di …
2010
Nel corso del Novecento l’impiego dei diffusori di vetro per la realizzazione di elementi tecnici traslucidi in grado di captare la luce naturale ha subito alterne vicende. Dopo un periodo di intenso utilizzo a cavallo del XIX e XX secolo e dopo la realizzazione, in Europa, negli anni a cavallo tra le due guerre, di alcuni edifici divenuti emblematici del Movimento Moderno, l’impiego di questo prodotto “innovativo” per l’epoca, venne progressivamente “relegato” alle parti più nascoste degli edifici per la “pragmatica” risoluzione di problematiche legate, ad es., alla presenza di particolari vincoli urbanistici senza che, quindi, ne venissero ulteriormente indagate le potenzialità espressive…
MIGLIORAMENTO TECNOLOGICO-PRESTAZIONALE DI UN COMPONENTE INNOVATIVO PER L’INVOLUCRO EDILIZIO - PERFOMANCE IMPROVEMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE BUILDING COMPO…
2016
L’articolo illustra l’attività di ricerca che gli autori, cofounder della SBskin. Smart Building Skin s.r.l., start up innovativa e spin off accademico dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, stanno conducendo al fine di ottimizzare le performance energetiche di un componente innovativo per facciate e coperture di edifici (dagli stessi brevettato) in grado di ridurre i consumi energetici e di produrre energia pulita dal sole. L’attività che qui si illustra è stata finalizzata all’ottimizzazione del design dei sub-componenti che contribuiscono alla realizzazione dei pannelli traslucidi multifunzionali (realizzati con vetromattoni innovativi, preassemblati a secco e precompressi) ed alla scel…
The transformation of the Horatian Sabine farm in Persius? Satire 6
2020
The purpose of this article is to focus on the motif of the countryside in Roman satire. In particular, it aspires to study the way the Sabine farm is delineated in Horace's Satire 2.6 and later in his Epistles, in order to elucidate the evolution of this motif in Persius? 6th Satire. In this poem, Persius addresses Caesius Bassus, who retreats to Sabine to seek poetic inspiration, but seems trapped in the paths of earlier poetry and cannot attain bliss, while the poet achieves it in the port of Luna.
El Maestro de Portillo y el Maestro de Calzada. Sobre el dibujo subyacente y nuevas atribuciones
2020
El trabajo presenta unas tablas que recientemente han aparecido en el mercado artístico. Cuatro de ellas las atribuimos al anónimo Maestro de Portillo. Una quinta tabla, subastada en Italia, la adscribimos al Maestro de Calzada, que trabajó, sobre todo, en el ámbito vallisoletano. Estas personalidades artísticas continúan en el anonimato, seguramente por la escasa documentación conservada en el territorio donde ejercieron su profesión. No obstante, las diversas campañas de trabajo que henos realizado por el entorno castellano y el conocimiento de algunas colecciones privadas, nos ha permitido obtener fotografías digitales infrarrojas de algunas de sus obras que nos han permitido conocer el …
Ganoderma lucidum 9621 ārpusšūnu ligninolītisko enzīmu aktivitātes noteikšana
2019
Signe Vadone (2019): Ganoderma lucidum 9621 ārpusšūnu ligninolītisko enzīmu aktivitātes noteikšana. Darbā noteikta un salīdzināta G. lucidum 9621 lakāzes un peroksidāžu aktivitāte četru dažādu piedevu šķidrajās barotnēs – ½ MEB(+ Mn2+; + 2% Lg; + 2% Lg + Mn2+). Veikta kvantitatīva ligninolītisko enzīmu aktivitātes noteikšana, izmantojot spektrofotometrijas metodes. Darbā tika salīdzināta dažādu glabāšanas apstākļu (+4˚C, -20˚C un liofilizācijas) ietekme uz G. lucidum 9621 ligninolītisko enzīmu aktivitāti un inkubācijas beigās noteikta sēņu micēlija biomasa. Noskaidrots, ka augstāko ārpusšūnu ligninolītisko enzīmu aktivitāti G. lucidum 9621 iegūst 6.-10. inkubācijas dienā un lielāka aktivitā…
Volitional components of consciousness vary across wakefulness, dreaming and lucid dreaming
2014
Contains fulltext : 136156.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Consciousness is a multifaceted concept; its different aspects vary across species, vigilance states, or health conditions. While basal aspects of consciousness like perceptions and emotions are present in many states and species, higher-order aspects like reflective or volitional capabilities seem to be most pronounced in awake humans. Here we assess the experience of volition across different states of consciousness: 10 frequent lucid dreamers rated different aspects of volition according to the Volitional Components Questionnaire for phases of normal dreaming, lucid dreaming, and wakefulness. Overall, experienced volitio…
Intra-Articular Injection of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi Extract Attenuates Pain Behavior and Cartilage Degeneration in Mono-Iodoacetate Induced Osteoart…
2018
Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (FLL) has been widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treating soreness and weakness of waist and knees. It has potential for treating OA owing to its kidney-tonifying activity with bone-strengthening effects, but there is so far no report of its anti-OA effect. This study established a rat OA model by intra-articular (IA) injection of mono-iodoacetate (1.5 mg) and weekly treated by IA administration of FLL at 100 μg/mL for 4 weeks. Thermal withdrawal latency, mechanical withdrawal threshold, and spontaneous activity were tested for evaluation of pain behavior, and histopathological (HE, SO, and ABH staining) and immunohistochemical (Col2, Col10, and…
Vitrification of zona-free rabbit expanded or hatching blastocysts: a possible model for human blastocysts.
2003
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of one two-step (A) and two one-step (B1 and B2) vitrification procedures on denuded expanded or hatching rabbit blastocysts held in standard sealed plastic straws as a possible model for human blastocysts. The effect of blastocyst size was also studied on the basis of three size categories (I: diameter <200 μm; II: diameter 200-299 μm; III: diameter ≥300 μm). METHODS: Rabbit expanded or hatching blastocysts were vitrified at day 4 or 5. Before vitrification, the zona pellucida was removed using acidic phosphate buffered saline. For the two-step procedure, prior to vitrification, blastocysts were pre-equilibrated in a solut…
