Sensitivity of noble gas NMR parameters to the heterocyclic ring proximity. Density functional theory studies of Ne–furan and Ar–furan complexes
2014
Theoretical modeling of noble gas interaction with furan as a simple heterocyclic ring was performed. The structures of neon–furan and argon–furan complexes were calculated at the MP2, M06-2X, CAM-B3LYP, APFD, and VSXC levels of theory using 6-311++G** basis set. The predicted 21Ne and 39Ar NMR chemical shifts for the Ne–furan and Ar–furan complexes calculated with pcS-3 and aug-pcS-3 basis sets were sensitive to the presence of the aromatic furan ring. Our results indicate a higher sensitivity of the neon and argon NMR probes than the previously reported 3He NMR spectroscopic parameters in studies of small heterocyclic rings containing the oxygen atom.
Ellipsometric thickness and coverage of physisorbed layers of Xe, Kr, Ar and N2 on graphite
1990
Multilayer isotherms of Xe, Kr, Ar and N2 physisorbed on graphite (001) have been studied by ellipsometry. It is shown that the model of Dignam and Fedyk provides an excellent basis for the interpretation of the ellipsometric thickness in terms of the coverage and the polarizability of the admolecules. For N2 conclusions concerning the orientation of the molecule are drawn.
Comparing the effects of introduced signal crayfish and native noble crayfish on the littoral invertebrate assemblages of boreal lakes
2015
The introduced North American signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana) has replaced the native noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) in many European freshwaters and can be considered a new component of these ecosystems. The 2 species are apparently similar in many respects, but their ecological equivalence is uncertain and has been little investigated, especially at the whole-lake scale. We compared the effects of the 2 species on the abundance, species richness, and composition of littoral macroinvertebrate assemblages in a set of small- and mediumsized boreal lakes, which included 8 lakes with noble crayfish, 8 lakes with signal crayfish, and 8 lakes without crayfish. We collected semi…
Agrarian Elites and types of Caciquism. The Rafal/Vía Manuel Family from the Crisis of Absolutism to the Crisis of the Restoration Regime
1998
El trabajo trata de explorar la utilidad de la historia social de la política, analizando los rasgos y estrategias de diversos sectores de la nobleza en el contexto del cambio social a partir de la revolución liberal. Se observan tipos diversos de caciquismo en cuanto a sus rasgos sociales y sus raíces políticas, su relación con el poder económico propio y la injerencia del Estado en las rivalidades políticas. Los sectores populares podían hacer valer sus aspiraciones a partir de estas rivalídades entre diversas oligarquías. This article seeks to explore the usefulness of a social history of politics. The authors study the different heritage and political strategies of several noble familie…
Sapieżyńska ochrona dóbr Potockich w starostwie owruckim w latach 80. i 90. XVII wieku Przyczynek do badań nad współpracą rodzin magnackich w czasach…
2019
The Sapiehas and the Potockis were amongst the most influential families of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. The latter family owned numerous estates in Ukraine, which were directly under threat from marching Lithuanian soldiers. Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, Grand Hetman of Lithuania was in charge of the said estates. Due to cooperation of the two magnate families, he attempted to shield the Potockis’ estates and possessions from Lithuanian troops marching to or returning from the war with Turkey. To that aim he utilised legal proclamations called Universals. The Potockis returned the favour by entering into political collaboration. Hetman Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, having been absent from the Sie…
Investigation of the He solubility in H2O-CO2 bearing silicate liquids at moderate pressure: a new experimental method
2000
We have designed the first available experimental method capable to investigate the solubility of inert gases in H2O–CO2 bearing silicate melts in a large range of pressures. The method overcomes the difficulties imposed by the physical state of volatiles at room conditions. Experiments were done by using an internally heated pressure vessel, where sealed capsules containing the sample are introduced. The peculiarity of the method consists in the capability of loading, in accurately known proportions (even lower than ppm), volatiles in a gaseous state at room conditions. Gas is loaded as a weighed amount of a gas-bearing glass, which was previously prepared by using the same gas as a pressu…
Antigüedad clásica y cultura nobiliaria en la España de finales del siglo XVIII. Autores y ediciones greco-romanas en la biblioteca de José Alvarez d…
2019
This article analyzes the reception of the classical world in the Spanish nobiliary culture at the end of the 18th century. Our objective is materialized through the study of the Greco-Roman books present in the unpublished catalog of the library of José Álvarez de Toledo, 11th Marqués de villafranca. From the examination of the authors and the different editions conserved by the aristocrat, the work tries to examine the influence of the classical world and its actuality in the development of the most advanced nobiliary culture of eighteenth- century Spain.
Relativistic coupled cluster calculations of the electronic structure of KrH+, XeH+ and RnH+
2012
Potential energy curves of NgH+ cations (Ng = Kr, Xe, Rn) were obtained by using four-component relativistic CCSD(T) coupled cluster calculations. Dissociation energies, equilibrium bond lengths, electronic properties, such as dipole moments and electric field gradients at the nuclei, and the related spectroscopic parameters of the electronic ground state have been determined. The results obtained for KrH+ and XeH+ are in good agreement with available experimental data, while those for RnH+ have been determined for the first time at this level of theory.
An overview of the geochemical characteristics of oceanic carbonatites: New insights from Fuerteventura carbonatites (Canary islands)
2021
The occurrence of carbonatites in oceanic settings is very rare if compared with their continental counterpart, having been reported only in Cape Verde and Canary Islands. This paper provides an overview of the main geochemical characteristics of oceanic carbonatites, around which many debates still exist regarding their petrogenesis. We present new data on trace elements in minerals and whole-rock, together with the first noble gases isotopic study (He, Ne, Ar) in apatite, calcite, and clinopyroxene from Fuerteventura carbonatites (Canary Islands). Trace elements show a similar trend as Cape Verde carbonatites, almost tracing the same patterns on multi-element and REE abundance diagrams. 3…
The role of trapped fluids during the development and deformation of a carbonate/shale intra-wedge tectonic mélange (Mt. Massico, Southern Apennines,…
2020
Abstract Numerous studies exist on exhumed tectonic melanges along subduction channels whereas, in accretionary wedge interiors, deformation mechanisms and related fluid circulation in tectonic melanges are still underexplored. We combine structural and microstructural observations with geochemical (stable and clumped isotopes and isotope composition of noble gases in fluid inclusions of calcite veins) and U-Pb geochronological data to define deformation mechanisms and syn-tectonic fluid circulation within the Mt. Massico intra-wedge tectonic melange, located in the inner part of the central-southern Apennines accretionary wedge, Italy. This melange developed by shear deformation at the bas…
