Evaluation of adsorption ability of Cyclodextrin-Calixarene Nanosponges towards Pb2+ ion in aqueous solution
2021
Abstract Different cyclodextrin-calixarene nanosponges (CyCaNSs) have been characterized by means of FFC-NMR relaxometry, and used as sorbents to remove Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Considering that the removal treatments may involve polluted waters with different characteristics, the adsorption experiments were performed on solutions without and with the addition of background salts, under different operational conditions. The adsorption abilities and affinities of the nanosponges towards Pb2+ ions were investigated by measuring the metal ion concentration by means of Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DP-ASV…
Design of chiral magnets: Cyanide-bridged bimetallic assemblies based on cyclohexane-1,2-diamine
2003
Abstract Four magnetic compounds based on chiral ligands trans-(1S,2S)-chxn and trans-(1R,2R)-chxn (chxn: cyclohexane-1,2-diamine), [Ni(trans-(1S,2S)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O (1), [Ni(trans-(1R,2R)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O (2), [Cu(trans-(1S,2S)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·4.5H2O (3) and [Cu(trans-(1R,2R)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·4.5H2O (4), are reported. The four compounds are chiral, as confirmed by X-ray analyses and circular dichroism measurements. From the magnetic point of view, 1 and 2 behave as ferromagnets, whereas 3 and 4 show a paramagnetic behavior.
Histologic analysis of specimens from laparoscopic endometrioma excision performed by different surgeons: does the surgeon matter?
2011
Objective To evaluate whether the amount of ovarian tissue inadvertently removed along with the endometrioma cyst wall at laparoscopy differs in relation to the operating surgeon's level of expertise. Design Multicenter, prospective trial. Setting Four tertiary care university hospitals. Patient(s) Fifty patients, aged 25 to 40 years, with monolateral ovarian endometriomas who underwent laparoscopic excision. Intervention(s) Operation with the stripping technique by surgeons with specific expertise in endometriosis surgery in four centers (groups A, B, C, and D) and by residents with average training in laparoscopic surgery (group E). Main Outcome Measure(s) Histologic examination for the e…

Precision Muon Reconstruction in Double Chooz
2014
We describe a muon track reconstruction algorithm for the reactor anti-neutrino experiment Double Chooz. The Double Chooz detector consists of two optically isolated volumes of liquid scintillator viewed by PMTs, and an Outer Veto above these made of crossed scintillator strips. Muons are reconstructed by their Outer Veto hit positions along with timing information from the other two detector volumes. All muons are fit under the hypothesis that they are through-going and ultrarelativistic. If the energy depositions suggest that the muon may have stopped, the reconstruction fits also for this hypothesis and chooses between the two via the relative goodness-of-fit. In the ideal case of a thro…
Two-Dimensional Assembling of (2,2‘-Bipyrimidine)bis(oxalato)chromate(III) Units through Alkaline Cations
1999
Self-assembling of the tris-chelated [Cr(bpm)(ox)2]- complex with Na+ in aqueous solution leads to the remarkable bimetallic honeycomb layered compound of formula [NaICrIII(bpm)(ox)2]·5H2O (2) (bpm...
Is the stripping technique a tissue-sparing procedure in large simple ovariancysts in children?
2008
Abstract Background Stripping of the cystic wall is performed by gynecologists to treat large ovarian cysts. Information in the pediatric population is poor. We prospectively evaluated the pathologic specimens of large ovarian cyst to determine whether the stripping technique is a tissue-sparing procedure even in this age. Methods We evaluated 5 patients. Samples were taken from the intermediate part of the cystic wall and from the layer covering the cyst during excision. The presence of ovarian tissue adjacent to the cyst wall, and the morphological features of the surrounding tissue were both evaluated. Pelvic ultrasound follow-up was also performed. Results Patients' mean age was 4.5 yea…
Measurement of the mass and lifetime of the charmed strange baryon $\Xi_{c}^{+}$
1989
Abstract We have observed six unambiguous decays of the charmed strange baryon Ξc+ (or charge conjugate Ξc−) in the 230 GeV/c negative pions or kaons on a copper target at the CERN SPS using silicon microstrip detectors and charge-coupled devices for vertex reconstruction. Three of them have been reconstructed through the decay chain Ξc+ →Ξ−π+π+, Ξ− →Λ0π−, Λ0 →pπ− and the other three through the decay chain Ξc+ →Σ+K−π+ →pπ0. We present our measurements of the mass, lifetime and production cross-section of the Ξc+, as well as of the branching ration for the two decay modes.
Search for flavor-changing neutral current and lepton-flavor violating decays of D-0 -> l(+)l(-)
2004
We report on a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays $\Dz\to e^+e^-$ and $\Dz\to\mu^+\mu^-$, and the lepton-flavor violating decay $\Dz\to e^\pm\mu^\mp$. The measurement is based on $122 {fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the \babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider. No evidence is found for any of the decays. The upper limits on the branching fractions, at the 90 % confidence level, are $1.2\times 10^{-6}$ for $\Dz\to e^+e^-$, $1.3\times 10^{-6}$ for $\Dz\to\mu^+\mu^-$, and $8.1\times 10^{-7}$ for $\Dz\to e^\pm\mu^\mp$.
Synthesis and Characterization of a Soluble Bimetallic Oxalate-Based Bidimensional Magnet: [K(18-crown-6)]3[Mn3(H2O)4{Cr(ox)3}3]
2006
The "templating" K crown ether cation allows for the preparation of soluble layered oxalate-based bimetallic magnets, as in [K(18-crown-6]3{Mn3(H2O)4[Cr(ox)3]3}, with an unprecedented bidimensional polymeric anionic network that involves both oxalato bridges and H bonds. As in other 2D oxalate-bridged compounds, the compound behaves as a soft ferromagnet, with the onset of magnetic ordering occurring at 3.3 K.
