Static and Dynamic Properties of Adsorbed Chains at Surfaces: Monte Carlo Simulation of a Bead-Spring Model
1996
The adsorption of flexible polymers from dilute solution in good solvents at attractive walls is studied by Monte Carlo simulation of a coarse-grained off-lattice model, varying chain length N and ...
Formation of Bridging Alkene and Conjugated Dialkenes Exclusively Generated from Alkynes on the [3,3‘-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]- Platform. The Unique Hydrobo…
2003
The unprecedented metal-mediated transformation of an alkyne into a B,B' bridging alkene is reported. Also, the unprecedented synthesis of a conjugated dialkene derivative of [3,3'-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]- generated only from an alkyne, contrary to the usual case where an alkyne and an alkene are needed, is described. This has been possible through the singular capacity of a B-H to produce hydroboration.
Potassium silver thiocyanate
2001
The structure of K[Ag(SCN)2] forms a three-dimensional network consisting of seven-coordinated K atoms and four-coordinated Ag atoms connected together by bridging thiocyanate groups.

El frente popular: ¿Qué clase de acontecimiento? Historiografía y actualidad de las investigaciones sobre el Frente Popular
2016
The development of the historiography on the Popular Front has focused on three main fields, political history, social history and cultural history. However, the fragmentation of the object of study has hindered a more global reflection on the Popular Front, as one major event which constituted both a political and cultural project and an unprecedented social and political alliance with a broad popular movement. A fundamental event, embedded in the long life of French history, with significant consequences for the social area of the working class, the start of a new culture of social democracy French-style and as a reference which nourished the fights of the French Resistance as well as its…
A gearbox model for processing large volumes of data by using pipeline systems encapsulated into virtual containers
2020
Software pipelines enable organizations to chain applications for adding value to contents (e.g., confidentially, reliability, and integrity) before either sharing them with partners or sending them to the cloud. However, the pipeline components add overhead when processing large volumes of data, which can become critical in real-world scenarios. This paper presents a gearbox model for processing large volumes of data by using pipeline systems encapsulated into virtual containers. In this model, the gears represent applications, whereas gearboxes represent software pipelines. This model was implemented as a collaborative system that automatically performs Gear up (by using parallel patterns…
Association between osteocalcin and cognitive performance in healthy older adults.
2016
INTRODUCTION: cognitive deterioration and reductions of bone health coincide with increasing age. We examine the relationship between bone composition and plasma markers of bone remodelling with measures of cognitive performance in healthy adults.METHODS: this cross-sectional study included 225 old (52% women, mean age: 74.4 ± 3.3 years) and 134 young (52% women, mean age: 23.4 ± 2.7 years) adult participants from the MyoAge project. Whole body bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Blood analyses included a panel of bone-related peptides (dickkopf-1, osteoprotegerin, osteocalcin (OC), osteopontin, sclerostin, parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor …
Polygenic association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder liability and cognitive impairments.
2022
AbstractBackgroundA recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 12 independent loci significantly associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Polygenic risk scores (PRS), derived from the GWAS, can be used to assess genetic overlap between ADHD and other traits. Using ADHD samples from several international sites, we derived PRS for ADHD from the recent GWAS to test whether genetic variants that contribute to ADHD also influence two cognitive functions that show strong association with ADHD: attention regulation and response inhibition, captured by reaction time variability (RTV) and commission errors (CE).MethodsThe discovery GWAS included 19 099 ADHD cases …
Networked Analysis of a Teaching Unit for Primary School Symmetries in the Form of an E-Book
2021
In mathematics education, technology offers many opportunities to enrich curricular contents. Plane symmetries is a topic often skipped by primary teachers. However, it is important and may be worked in attractive ways in dynamic geometry software environments. In any regular classroom there are students with different levels of mathematical attainment, some needing easy tasks while others, particularly mathematically-gifted students, need challenging problems. We present a teaching unit for plane symmetries, adequate for upper primary school grades, implemented in a fully interactive electronic book, with most activities solved in GeoGebra apps. The book allows student to choose which itin…
Dynamics of brain activity underlying working memory for music in a naturalistic condition
2012
Working memory (WM) is at the core of any cognitive function as it is necessary for the integration of information over time. Despite WM’s critical role in high-level cognitive functions, its implementation in the neural tissue is poorly understood. Preliminary studies on auditory WM show differences between linguistic and musical memory, leading to the speculation of specific neural networks encoding memory for music. Moreover, in neuroscience WM has not been studied in naturalistic listening conditions but rather in artificial settings (e.g., n-back and Sternberg tasks). Western tonal music provides naturally occurring motivic repetition and variation, recognizable units serving as WM tri…
