Full Text Available We report ab-initio calculations of water absorption in Y2Mo3O12. The absorption geometry of H2O in Y2Mo3O12 and the binding property between H2O and Y2Mo3O12 have been first identified. Our calculated results show that water is chemisorbed in Y2Mo3O12 with O of the water binding to the Y3+ cation, which is further strengthened by hydrogen bonding between each of the hydrogen atoms of H2O and the bridge O in Y2Mo3O12, shared by polyhedrons YO6 and MoO4. The absorption of water leads to a reduced angle of Y-O-Mo and shortened Y-Mo distance, and consequently volume contraction of the material, almost linearly with the increasing number of water molecules per unit cell, up to eight in total. In addition, our phonon calculation show that the transverse vibration of Y-O-Mo is restricted due to water absorption, which in turn hinders the NTE, as it is mainly originated from this vibrational mode. Our results clarify further the fundamental mechanisms of the large volume shrinkage and the lost NTE of the framework oxide due to water absorption.

The structure and charge transfer correlated with oxygen content are studied by measuring the positron lifetime parameters of the Y0.8Ca0.2Ba2Cu3Oy system with a large range of oxygen content (y = 6.84-6.32). The local electron density ne is evaluated from the positron lifetime data. The positron lifetime parameters show a clear change around y = 6.50 where the compounds undergo the orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition. The effect of ne and oxygen content on the structure, charge transfer and superconductivity are discussed. With the decrease of oxygen content y, O(4) tends to the Cu(1) site, causing carrier localization, and accordingly, the decrease of ne. This would prove that the localized carriers (electrons and holes) in the Cu-O chain region have great influence on the superconductivity by affecting the charge transfer between the reservoir layers and the conducting layers. The positron annihilation mechanism and its relation with superconductivity are also discussed.

Extracellular nucleotides, such as ATP, are released from cells in response to various stimuli and act as intercellular signaling molecules through activation of P2 receptors. Exposure to the ultraviolet radiation A (UVA) component of sunlight causes molecular and cellular damage, and in this study, we investigated the involvement of extracellular nucleotides and P2 receptors in the UVA-induced cellular response. Human keratinocyte-derived HaCaT cells were irradiated with a single dose of UVA (2.5 J/cm2), and ATP release and interleukin (IL)-6 production were measured. ATP was released from cells in response to UVA irradiation, and the release was blocked by pretreatment with inhibitors of gap junction hemichannels or P2X7 receptor antagonist. IL-6 production was increased after UVA irradiation, and this increase was inhibited by ecto-nucleotidase or by antagonists of P2Y11 or P2Y13 receptor. These results suggest that UVA-induced IL-6 production is mediated by release of ATP through hemichannels and P2X7 receptor, followed by activation of P2Y11 and P2Y13 receptors. Interestingly, P2Y11 and P2Y13 were associated with the same pattern of IL-6 production, though they trigger different intracellular signaling cascades: Ca2+-dependent and PI3K-dependent, respectively. Thus, IL-6 production in response to UVA-induced ATP release involves at least two distinct pathways, mediated by activation of P2Y11 and P2Y13 receptors. PMID:26030257

Full Text Available Desde la epidemiología la relación entre sucesos de vida y trastornos psíquicos infantiles no es tan clara. El rol etiológico directo asignado a los eventos vitales podría reducirse al considerar los niveles de problemas previos a los eventos. Se examinó en una muestra de población general de niños de 6 a 11 años (N = 69 la asociación entre sucesos de vida y cambios en el grado de problemas comportamentales. Los sucesos fueron predictores del nivel actual de problemas comportamentales, siendo un hallazgo estadísticamente significativo. Sin embargo, al incluir el nivel de problemas previo a los eventos ese efecto se redujo y fue el nivel inicial de problemas el mejor predictor. Los resultados dan soporte a la hipótesis en estudio.From an epidemiological perspective the relationship between life events and psychological disorders in children is not so clear. The direct etiological role given to life events might be diminish when considering the level of psychological disorders previous to the events. The association among life events and changes in the level of behavioral and emotional problems in a general sample of 6-11 years old children (N = 69 was investigated. Life events predicted the actual level of behavioral problems. However, when including the initial level of problems the life events effect lessened. The initial level of behavioral problems was the better predictor of the actual level. The findings give support to the hypothesis under study.

Both Dy 1 2 Mo 6 S 8 and Tb 1 2 Mo 6 S 8 are superconducting below T/sub c/ = 2.05 K. Neutron scattering studies show that these compounds in zero applied magnetic field develop long-range antiferromagnetic order (greater than 300 A) at T/sub M/ = 0.4 K and T/sub M/ = 1.0 K, respectively, which does not destroy the superconducting state. Magnetization measurements at temperatures below T/sub M/ suggest the development of ferromagnetic order as the applied magnetic field increases. In the case of Tb 1 2 Mo 6 S 8 the neutron data show long-range ferromagnetic order developing for H greater than or equal to H/sub c2/ = 1.9 kOe where H/sub c2/ is the upper critical field for superconductivity. However, for Dy 1 2 Mo 6 S 8 long-range ferromagnetic order begins to develop at H = 200 Oe, a field much less than H/sub c2/ = 1.2 kOe. As the ferromagnetic intensity increases, the antiferromagnetic intensity decreases. Between H = 200 Oe and H = 1.2 kOe both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order occur with the sample in the superconducting state

The orange-red emitting phosphors Ba 2 Ca 0.9 Mo x W 1−x O 6 :Eu 3+ 0.05 , Li + 0.05 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) and Ba 2 Ca 1−2y Mo 0.2 W 0.8 O 6 :Eu 3+ y , Li + y (y=0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, and 0.15) were synthesized. The crystalline structure and photoluminescence properties of these phosphors were described. The strong orange-red emission of Eu 3+ ( 5 D 0 — 7 F 1 transition) at around 593 nm was observed. Addition of Mo strongly enhances the charge transfer band absorption in the near ultraviolet region that corresponds to near ultraviolet white light emitting diode. The dependence of photoluminescence intensities on Eu 3+ concentrations with optimal Mo concentration under 400 nm excitation was studied. The phosphor is considered to be a promising orange-red emitting phosphor for near ultraviolet GaN-based white light emitting diode. - Highlights: ► The samples form solid solutions when Mo is added into Ba 2 CaWO 6 : Eu 3+ , Li + phosphors. ► Addition of Mo in Ba 2 CaWO 6 : Eu 3+ , Li + shifts the PLE spectra maximum from UV region to near UV region. ► In Ba 2 CaMo x W 1−x O 6 :Eu 3+ , Li + , the most efficient concentrations occur at 0.1 and 0.2 for Eu and Mo.

Octahedral coordination of molybdenum(III) is achieved by limiting the amount of cyanide available upon complex formation. Reaction of Mo(CF(3)SO(3))(3) with LiCN in DMF affords Li(3)[Mo(CN)(6)] x 6DMF (1), featuring the previously unknown octahedral complex [Mo(CN)(6)](3-). The complex exhibits a room-temperature moment of mu(eff) = 3.80 mu(B), and assignment of its absorption bands leads to the ligand field parameters Delta(o) = 24800 cm(-1) and B = 247 cm(-1). Further restricting the available cyanide in a reaction between Mo(CF(3)SO(3))(3) and (Et(4)N)CN in DMF, followed by recrystallization from DMF/MeOH, yields (Et(4)N)(5)[Mo(2)(CN)(11)] x 2DMF x 2MeOH (2). The dinuclear [Mo(2)(CN)(11)](5-) complex featured therein contains two octahedrally coordinated Mo(III) centers spanned by a bridging cyanide ligand. A fit to the magnetic susceptibility data for 2, gives J = -113 cm(-1) and g = 2.33, representing the strongest antiferromagnetic coupling yet observed through a cyanide bridge. Efforts to incorporate these new complexes in magnetic Prussian blue-type solids are ongoing.

Highlights: •The limit of Bi 2 W 1−x Me x O 6−y solid solutions is at x = 0.1, 0.15 for Me = Nb, Ta. •Ta and Nb substitutions for W suppress the reconstructive phase transition. •Bi 2 W 0.9 Nb 0.1 O 6−y samples belong to Aurivillius-type structure up to their melting. •Nb and Ta doping shifts ferroelectric transition to low temperatures up to 200 °C. •The highest conductivity reaches 10 −1 S/cm at 800 °C (x = 0.05, 0.1; Me = Nb, Ta). -- Abstract: Polycrystalline samples of Bi 2 W 1−x Me x O 6−y (Me = Nb, Ta) solid solutions have been prepared by solid-state reactions, and the influence of Nb and Ta substitutions for W on the polymorphism and electrical properties of Bi 2 WO 6 has been studied. The limit of the solid solutions is at x = 0.1 for Me = Nb and at x = 0.15 for Me = Ta. The distinctive features of the polymorphism of the Nb- and Ta-doped materials have been identified. According to differential scanning calorimetry data, tantalum and niobium substitutions for tungsten increase the temperature of the high-temperature, orthorhombic-to-monoclinic reconstructive phase transition and suppress the transition starting at x = 0.05 for Me = Nb and x = 0.10 for Me = Ta. As a result, the Bi 2 W 1−x Nb x O 6−y samples have an orthorhombic Aurivillius-type structure up to their melting point. The Bi 2 W 1−x Ta x O 6−y solid solutions at high temperatures consist of a mixture of an orthorhombic and a monoclinic phase. Nb and Ta doping shifts the ferroelectric phase transition to lower temperatures by more than 200 °C, thus markedly extending the stability range of the nonpolar orthorhombic paraelectric phase, which exists in a temperature range as narrow as 930–960 °C in the case of undoped Bi 2 WO 6 . The increase in oxygen vacancy concentration due to heterovalent substitutions of Nb 5+ and Ta 5+ for W 6+ leads to an increase in conductivity by two orders of magnitude relative to the unsubstituted compound

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease with a poor prognosis and very few available treatment options. The involvement of the purinergic receptor subtypes P2Y2 and P2X7 in fibrotic lung disease has been demonstrated recently. In this study, we investigated the role of P2Y6 receptors in the pathogenesis of IPF in humans and in the animal model of bleomycin-induced lung injury. P2Y6R expression was upregulated in lung structural cells but not in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells derived from IPF patients as well as in animals following bleomycin administration. Furthermore, BAL fluid levels of the P2Y6R agonist uridine-5′-diphosphate were elevated in animals with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Inflammation and fibrosis following bleomycin administration were reduced in P2Y6R-deficient compared to wild-type animals confirming the pathophysiological relevance of P2Y6R subtypes for fibrotic lung diseases. Experiments with bone marrow chimeras revealed the importance of P2Y6R expression on lung structural cells for pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Similar effects were obtained when animals were treated with the P2Y6R antagonist MRS2578. In vitro studies demonstrated that proliferation and secretion of the pro-inflammatory/pro-fibrotic cytokine IL-6 by lung fibroblasts are P2Y6R-mediated processes. In summary, our results clearly demonstrate the involvement of P2Y6R subtypes in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Thus, blocking pulmonary P2Y6 receptors might be a new target for the treatment of IPF. PMID:28878780

Structural effects of zinc substitution in YBCO have been studied by neutron diffraction in order to determine the substitution site of zinc atoms. Electron neutron diffraction experiments are performed on YBa 2 (Cu 1-y Zn y ) 3 O 6+x powders. Nuclear structures have been refined using the Rietveld method on powders of compositions x=1 and y ranging from 0.01 to 0.06. The results suggest a solubility limit of zinc in the copper planes at y ≅ 0.04 and zinc may start to substitute for chain copper sites for higher y values. Magnetic structure of a y=0.02 and x=0.05 powder has been studied by neutron elastic diffraction. The antiferromagnetic structure is not affected by non-magnetic zinc atoms but the ordering temperature is strongly reduced. 2 figs., 11 refs

Microglia P2Y6 receptor is related to Parkinson’s disease through neuroinflammatory process

Full Text Available Abstract Background Microglia in the central nervous system (CNS were reported to play crucial role in neurodegeneration. Previous studies showed that P2Y6 receptor (P2Y6R mainly contributed to microglia activation and phagocytosis in CNS. However, the level of P2Y6R in Parkinson’s disease (PD patients is unclear. Therefore, we measured the level of P2Y6R in PD patients and speculated whether it could be a potential biomarker for PD. Given on the basis that P2Y6R was higher in PD patients, we further explored the mechanisms underlying P2Y6R in the pathogenesis of PD. Methods We tested the expression level of P2Y6R in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs among 145 PD patients, 170 healthy controls, and 30 multiple system atrophy (MSA patients. We also used a lipopolysaccharide (LPS-stimulated microglial cell culture model to investigate (i the effects of LPS on P2Y6R expression with western blot and RT-PCR, (ii the effects of LPS on UDP expression using HPLC, (iii the effects of UDP/P2Y6R signaling on cytokine expression using western blot, RT-PCR, and ELISA, and (iv the signaling pathways activated by the P2Y6R involved in the neuroinflammation. Results Expression levels of P2Y6R in PD patients were higher than healthy controls and MSA patients. P2Y6R could be a good biomarker of PD. P2Y6R was also upregulated in LPS-treated BV-2 cells and involved in proinflammatory cytokine release through an autocrine loop based on LPS-triggered UDP secretion and accelerated neuroinflammatory responses through the ERK1/2 pathway. Importantly, blocking UDP/P2Y6R signaling could reverse these pathological processes. Conclusions P2Y6R may be a potential clinical biomarker of PD. Blocking P2Y6R may be a potential therapeutic approach to the treatment of PD patients through inhibition of microglia-activated neuroinflammation.

Cash-based interventions (CBIs), offer an interesting opportunity to prevent increases in wasting in humanitarian aid settings. However, questions remain as to the impact of CBIs on nutritional status and, therefore, how to incorporate them into emergency programmes to maximise their success in terms of improved nutritional outcomes. This study evaluated the effects of three different CBI modalities on nutritional outcomes in children under 5 y of age at 6 mo and at 1 y. We conducted a four-arm parallel longitudinal cluster randomised controlled trial in 114 villages in Dadu District, Pakistan. The study included poor and very poor households (n = 2,496) with one or more children aged 6-48 mo (n = 3,584) at baseline. All four arms had equal access to an Action Against Hunger-supported programme. The three intervention arms were as follows: standard cash (SC), a cash transfer of 1,500 Pakistani rupees (PKR) (approximately US$14; 1 PKR = US$0.009543); double cash (DC), a cash transfer of 3,000 PKR; or a fresh food voucher (FFV) of 1,500 PKR; the cash or voucher amount was given every month over six consecutive months. The control group (CG) received no specific cash-related interventions. The median total household income for the study sample was 8,075 PKR (approximately US$77) at baseline. We hypothesized that, compared to the CG in each case, FFVs would be more effective than SC, and that DC would be more effective than SC-both at 6 mo and at 1 y-for reducing the risk of child wasting. Primary outcomes of interest were prevalence of being wasted (weight-for-height z-score [WHZ] nutrition resilience. Purchasing restrictions applied to food-based voucher transfers could have unintended effects, and their use needs to be carefully planned to avoid this. ISRCTN registry ISRCTN10761532.

The electronic transport properties of T-BxNy (x, y = 5, 6, 11) molecular junction are investigated based on first-principle density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function method. Strong negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior is observed for T-B5N6 molecule under negative and positive bias voltages, with an obvious switch effect for T-B6N5. However, only small NDR is shown for the complex of the two molecules. The projected device density of states, the spatial distribution of molecular orbitals, and the effect of transmission spectra under various bias voltages on the electronic transport properties are analyzed. The obvious effect of bias voltage on the changes in the electronic distribution of frontier molecular orbitals is responsible for the NDR or switch behavior. Therefore, different functional molecular devices can be obtained with different structures of T-BxNy.

Full Text Available We report multiple temperature effects on green and red up-conversion emissions in Er3+-Y b3+-Mo6+ codoped TiO2 phosphors. With increasing temperature, the decrease of the red emission from 4F9/2→4I15/2, the increase of green emission from 2H11/2→4I15/2 and another unchanged green emission from 4S3/2→4I15/2 were simultaneously observed, which are explained by steady-state rate equations analysis. Due to different evolution with temperature of the two green emissions, higher thermal sensitivity of optical thermal sensor was obtained based on the transitions with the largest fluorescence intensity ratio. Two parameters, maximum theoretical sensitivity (Smax and optimum operating temperature (Tmax are given to describe thermal sensing properties of the produced sensors. The intensity ratio and energy difference ΔE of a pair of energy levels are two main factors for the sensitivity and accuracy of sensors, which should be referred to design sensors with optimized sensing properties.

We assess aspects of the feasibility of a recent proposal to use the coincidence between a Mo 11+ , 136.499 A, line and a 4p 6 -(4p 5 ) 1/2 6s, J=1, transition of Mo 6+ , to obtain amplified spontaneous emission around 600 A. A collisional-radiative model for the Mo 6+ ion, including resonant photoexcitation of the 4p 5 1/2 6s level, was constructed using the HULLAC atomic physics package. The model included the 4s 2 4p 6 ; 4p 5 4d, 4f; 4p 5 5s, 5p, 5d; 4p 5 6s, 6p, 6d; 4s4p 6 4d, 4f; 4p 6 4d 2 and 4s 2 4p 4 4d 2 configurations, amounting to 193 levels. All configuration interactions and collisional mixing were taken into account. A gain of 3 cm -1 is obtained for the 4p 5 6s(J = 1)-4p 5 5p(J = 2) transition at 645 A with T e = 5 eV, n e = 10 18 cm -3 , and an effective radiation temperature of T rad > 40 eV for the pump transition. Other transitions exhibit lower gains. (orig.)

The electronic structure of structural open derivatives of the [Mo 6 X 14 ] 2 - -cluster [Mo 5 Cl 13 ] 2 - and [Mo 4 I 11 ] 2 - has been studied by the EHMO method. In [Mo 5 Cl 13 ] 2 - 9 occupied MO's with dominant Mo4d character are responsible for the formation of the 8 metal-metal bonds. In [Mo 4 I 11 ] 2 - the stronger covalent character of the Mo-I bonds affects the localization and the energy of molecular orbitals and also the charge distribution. The metal-metal bonds are formed by 8 MO's containing considerable participation of halogen AO's contrary to the chloride cluster. There is no bonding between the Mo atoms at the wing tips of the Mo 4 butterfly and the reason for decreasing the dihedral angle between the Mo 3 planes in [Mo 4 I 11 ] 2 - compared with the octahedral angle is apparently the stabilization of the whole system (Mo-Mo and Mo-I bonds). The unpaired electron occupies in both clusters a slightly antibonding (with regard to the Mo-Mo bonds) orbital. (author)

We report ab-initio calculations of water absorption in Y{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 12}. The absorption geometry of H{sub 2}O in Y{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 12} and the binding property between H{sub 2}O and Y{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 12} have been first identified. Our calculated results show that water is chemisorbed in Y{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 12} with O of the water binding to the Y{sup 3+} cation, which is further strengthened by hydrogen bonding between each of the hydrogen atoms of H{sub 2}O and the bridge O in Y{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}O{sub 12}, shared by polyhedrons YO{sub 6} and MoO{sub 4}. The absorption of water leads to a reduced angle of Y-O-Mo and shortened Y-Mo distance, and consequently volume contraction of the material, almost linearly with the increasing number of water molecules per unit cell, up to eight in total. In addition, our phonon calculation show that the transverse vibration of Y-O-Mo is restricted due to water absorption, which in turn hinders the NTE, as it is mainly originated from this vibrational mode. Our results clarify further the fundamental mechanisms of the large volume shrinkage and the lost NTE of the framework oxide due to water absorption.

Excitation functions were measured by the stacked-foil technique for sup n sup a sup t Sr(p,xn) sup 8 sup 8 sup , sup 8 sup 7 sup m sup , sup g Y reactions from threshold up to 25 MeV. From the measured cross sections integral yields of sup 8 sup 8 Y, sup 8 sup 7 mY and sup 8 sup 7 sup g Y were calculated. The optimum energy range for the production of sup 8 sup 8 Y is Ep=14->9 MeV; the sup 8 sup 8 Y yield amounts to 1.75 MBq (47.3 mu Ci/mu A.h) and the sup 8 sup 7 Y and sup 8 sup 7 sup m Y impurities to 2.0 and 4.4%, respectively. The isomeric cross section ratio for the pair sup 8 sup 7 sup m sup , sup g Y was determined as a function of incident proton energy and the results are discussed in terms of the spins of the two isomeric states involved. Medium scale production of both sup 8 sup 6 Y and sup 8 sup 8 Y has been carried out more than 15 times each using the (p,n) reaction.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a critical regulator of platelet activation, mediating its actions through two G protein-coupled receptors, the P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) purinoceptors. Recently, we demonstrated that P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) purinoceptor activities are rapidly and reversibly modulated in human platelets, revealing that the underlying mechanism requires receptor internalization and subsequent trafficking as an essential part of this process. In this study we investigated the role of the small GTP-binding protein ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) in the internalization and function of P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) purinoceptors in human platelets. ARF6 has been implicated in the internalization of a number of GPCRs, although its precise molecular mechanism in this process remains unclear. In this study we show that activation of either P2Y(1) or P2Y(12) purinoceptors can stimulate ARF6 activity. Further blockade of ARF6 function either in cell lines or human platelets blocks P2Y purinoceptor internalization. This blockade of receptor internalization attenuates receptor resensitization. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Nm23-H1, a nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase regulated by ARF6 which facilitates dynamin-dependent fission of coated vesicles during endocytosis, is also required for P2Y purinoceptor internalization. These data describe a novel function of ARF6 in the internalization of P2Y purinoceptors and demonstrate the integral importance of this small GTPase upon platelet ADP receptor function.

Full Text Available En el mundo se estima que hay alrededor de 7000 lenguas. De ellas, sólo algunas tienen el estatus de ser lenguas oficiales y otras, además, son lenguas internacionales. Muchas veces, el estatus de éstas está ligado a factores económicos o políticos. En otros casos, se debe a la herencia colonizadora. Aquellas lenguas que no gozan de un estatus alto, terminan por tener espacios limitados para su uso o por perecer si dejan de transmitirse a las generaciones subsecuentes de hablantes. Este fenómeno se da en todas las latitudes del mundo. En el caso particular de Nuestra América, podemos encontrar esta problemática con las lenguas indígenas y, aunque menos visible, pero con la misma importancia, con las lenguas criollas. Para los lectores de nuestra revista, en el Volumen 11 de esta publicación, presentamos una discusión variada sobre algunas prácticas de las lenguas y sus interacciones con otras. Hay estudios históricos sobre el poder subversivo y de resistencia de las lenguas indígenas, propuestas pedagógicas para mantenerlas y revitalizarlas, planteamientos estratégicos de descolonización del pensamiento y conocimiento, análisis de la relación entre lengua, poder e identidad, y reflexiones sobre la situación de otras lenguas que coexisten en ámbitos plurilingües como el criollo y las dificultades y prejuicios a los que se enfrentan por no tener un estatus alto.

Among three intermetallic compounds existing in Y-Mn system the YMn2 and Y6Mn23 can easily form interstitial hydrides while for YMn12 existence of hydride has never been reported. At moderate hydrogen pressure YMn2 and Y6Mn23 transform into YMn2H4.5 and Y6Mn23H25 respectively. At high hydrogen pressure the YMn2 (C15 or C14 parent structure) forms a unique YMn2H6 (s.g. Fm3m) complex hydride of fluorite structure in which one Mn atom Mn(1) and Y randomly occupy the 8c sites while second manganese (Mn2) in position 4a forms complex anion with 6 hydrogen atoms located in positions 24e. Formation of YMn2H6 independently of the structure of parent phase (C14 or C15) as well as occupation of the same site (8c) by Y and Mn(1) atoms suggested that also Y6Mn23 and YMn12 could transform into YMn2H6 - type hydride in which suitable number of Y atoms will be substituted by Mn(1) in the 8c positions. This assumption was confirmed by exposing R6Mn23 and RMn12 to 1 GPa of hydrogen pressure at 1000C. Formation of (RxMn2-x)MnH6 (where x = 18/29 or 3/13 for R6Mn23 and RMn12 hydrides respectively) was confirmed by XRD. Hydrogen concentration in both R6Mn23 and RMn12 based hydrides reached H/Me = 2 thus value two times higher than in R6Mn23H25.

Phase stability boundaries of RBa 2 Cu 3 O 6 + x (R=Y, Nd) compounds for oxygen partial pressure wide range were determined by means of Coulomb titration. Phase decomposition is shown to occur without formation of liquid phase. Principial differences in the chemical composition of decomposition product of Y- and Nd-containing phases were detected. Dependences of oxygen non-stoichiometry of the compounds on temperature were determined. Fragments of P o 2 -T-x-diagrams were plotted. Oxygen diffusion coefficients within wide range of temperatures and partial pressures of oxygen were determined. Dependence of diffusion parameters on oxygen non-stoichiometry and P o 2 was determined. Oxygen diffusion was determined to occur more rapidly in orthorhombic phase than in tetragonal one. Diffusion coefficients were shown to increase at transition from Y-to Nd-containing phase. 13 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs

The thermal expansion coefficient α(T) of YMn 2 , Y 6 Mn 23 and YMn 12 is presented in the temperature range 4.2-1000 K together with α(T) of YCo 2 and YNi 2 . The strong variation of α(T) of the Y-Mn compounds in their paramagnetic state is discussed under the assumption that there exist Mn atoms with different electronic configurations and therefore with different atomic volumes. Changes of the concentration of these different Mn atoms with temperature reveal this anomalous thermal expansion. (orig.)

Full Text Available One of many efforts to convert coal tar into alternative liquid fuel is by hydrocracking. This research aims to determine the impregnation of Co-Mo/Y zeolite, its characteristics, the effect of impregnation temperature and time, and also the best Co-Mo/Y zeolite impregnation condition for the conversion of coal tar. This research was conducted in several steps, impregnating Co from Co(NO32.6H2O and Mo from (NH46Mo7O24.4H2O into Zeolite Y in liquid media, drying at 100 °C for 24 hours, and calcination at 550 °C for 3 hours. Coal tar was then reacted with hydrogen gas (as a reactant, and Co-Mo/Zeolite Y (as a catalyst was conducted at 350 °C. Characteristic analysis showed that Co and Mo had impregnated into the Y zeolite, as well as it made no change of catalyst’s structure and increased the total acidity. The higher of impregnation temperature was increased the catalyst crystallinity, total acidity, and yield of gasoline. The longer impregnation time was reduced crystallinity value, but total acidity and yield were increased. GC analysis showed that products included into the gasoline product (C8, C9, and C10.

The germanides RE 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 (RE=Y, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd-Dy) have been synthesized by arc-melting of the elements followed by inductive annealing to improve the crystallinity and allow for structural order. The compounds have been studied by powder X-ray diffraction; additionally the structure of Y 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data. It exhibits a (3+1)D modulated structure, indicating isotypism with Ce 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 . The crystal structure can be described as an intergrowth between YIrGe 2 - and CaBe 2 Ge 2 -type slabs along [100]. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements showed Pauli paramagnetism for Y 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 and Curie-Weiss paramagnetism for Pr 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 and Nd 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 . Sm 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 exhibits van Vleck paramagnetism, while antiferromagnetic ordering at T N =8.1(1) K and T N =11.0(1) K is observed for Gd 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 and Tb 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 , respectively.

Purine receptor P2Y_6 mediates cellular response to γ-ray-induced DNA damage

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Ide, Shunta; Nishimaki, Naoko; Tsukimoto, Mitsutoshi; Kojima, Shuji

2014-01-01

We previously showed that nucleotide P2 receptor agonists such as ATP and UTP amplify γ-ray-induced focus formation of phosphorylated histone H2A variant H2AX (γH2AX), which is considered to be an indicator of DNA damage so far, by activating purine P2Y_6 and P2Y_1_2 receptors. Therefore, we hypothesized that these P2 receptors play a role in inducing the repair response to γ-ray-induced DNA damage. In the present study, we tested this idea by using human lung cancer A549 cells. First, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that P2Y_6 receptor is highly expressed in A549 cells, but P2Y_1_2 receptor is only weakly expressed. Next, colony formation assay revealed that P2Y_6 receptor antagonist MRS2578 markedly reduced the survival rate of γ-ray-exposed A549 cells. The survival rate was also significantly reduced in P2Y_6-knock-down cells, compared with scramble siRNA-transfected cells. Since it has reported that phosphorylation of ERK1/2 after activation of EGFR via P2Y_6 and P2Y_1_2 receptors is involved in the repair response to γ-ray-induced DNA damage, we next examined whether γ-ray-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was also inhibited by MRS2578 in A549 cells. We found that it was. Taken together, these findings indicate that purinergic signaling through P2Y_6 receptor, followed by ERK1/2 activation, promotes the cellular repair response to γ-ray-induced DNA damage. (author)

The interaction of coumarin-6 and eosin-Y with particles of protonated potassium polytitanate (PPPT) was studied by luminescence spectral methods. It was established that the anisotropy of the fluorescence of coumarin-6 and eosin-Y in a suspension of PPPT is higher than in ethanol. This can be explained by bonding of the dyes with PPPT particles. The extinction coefficients of coumarin-6 (λ = 460 nm) ɛ = 25,000 M-1·cm-1 and eosin-Y (525 nm) ɛ = 36,000 M-1·cm-1 were determined from the absorption spectra of the dyes. It was shown that coumarin-6 and eosin-Y can be used for sensitization of PPPT.

Se obtienen los fenotipos de lateralidad de cada niño (homogéneo, cruzado o no definido y se comparan los resultados según el género y la edad (de 6-7 años, de 8-10 y de 11-15 años. Finalmente, se correlacionan las pruebas comparan y los coeficientes de lateralidad. Según nuestro estudio, el género no influye en la lateralidad del miembro superior, pero sí en el miembro inferior y en el ocular. La lateralidad manual se afianza entre los 8-10 años, la podal no se afianza a estas edades y la ocular tiende a la dextralidad en las chicas hasta los 15 años, pero se afianza en los chicos a los 8-10 años. Según los fenotipos de lateralidad se observa la influencia de la edad, con un aumento significativo de lateralidad homogénea a costa de una disminución de lateralidad cruzada en las edades evaluadas, pero no del género. Las correlaciones entre los tres coeficientes de lateralidad son bajas.

X-ray diffraction and 57 Fe Moessbauer spectroscopy studies show that partial substitution of Ca for Y in Y 1-z Ca z Ba 2 (Cu 1-x Fe x ) 3 O 6+y (0.05 ≤ z ≤ 0.15,0.003 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) result in increased Fe solubility and a larger percentage of Fe occupancy of the Cu(2) plane site (prepared conventionally). Materials with z > 0.00 have a slightly depressed superconducting transition onset temperature T c relative to the z = 0.00 compounds. It is also shown that Fe occupancy of the Cu(2) site in Y 1-z Ca z Ba 2 (Cu 1-x Fe x ) 3 O 6+y can be substantially increased when these materials are treated at high temperatures in inert atmospheres followed by oxygenation at low temperatures. T c decreases more rapidly in these latter materials compared to the conventionally prepared ones. Implications concerning ordered Fe cluster formation and superconducting pair breaking in the Cu(2) site are drawn. 7 refs., 4 tabs

P2Y6 receptor potentiates pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages and exhibits differential roles in atherosclerotic lesion development.

Full Text Available BACKGROUND: P2Y(6, a purinergic receptor for UDP, is enriched in atherosclerotic lesions and is implicated in pro-inflammatory responses of key vascular cell types and macrophages. Evidence for its involvement in atherogenesis, however, has been lacking. Here we use cell-based studies and three murine models of atherogenesis to evaluate the impact of P2Y(6 deficiency on atherosclerosis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Cell-based studies in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells, which lack functional P2Y(6 receptors, showed that exogenous expression of P2Y(6 induces a robust, receptor- and agonist-dependent secretion of inflammatory mediators IL-8, IL-6, MCP-1 and GRO1. P2Y(6-mediated inflammatory responses were also observed, albeit to a lesser extent, in macrophages endogenously expressing P2Y(6 and in acute peritonitis models of inflammation. To evaluate the role of P2Y(6 in atherosclerotic lesion development, we used P2Y(6-deficient mice in three mouse models of atherosclerosis. A 43% reduction in aortic arch plaque was observed in high fat-fed LDLR knockout mice lacking P2Y(6 receptors in bone marrow-derived cells. In contrast, no effect on lesion development was observed in fat-fed whole body P2Y(6xLDLR double knockout mice. Interestingly, in a model of enhanced vascular inflammation using angiotensin II, P2Y(6 deficiency enhanced formation of aneurysms and exhibited a trend towards increased atherosclerosis in the aorta of LDLR knockout mice. CONCLUSIONS: P2Y(6 receptor augments pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages and exhibits a pro-atherogenic role in hematopoietic cells. However, the overall impact of whole body P2Y(6 deficiency on atherosclerosis appears to be modest and could reflect additional roles of P2Y(6 in vascular disease pathophysiologies, such as aneurysm formation.

THE CHANGING Lyα OPTICAL DEPTH IN THE RANGE 6 < z < 9 FROM THE MOSFIRE SPECTROSCOPY OF Y-DROPOUTS

2013-01-01

We present the MOSFIRE spectroscopy of 13 candidate z ∼ 8 galaxies selected as Y-dropouts as part of the Brightest of Reionization Galaxies pure parallel survey. We detect no significant Lyα emission (our median 1σ rest-frame equivalent width sensitivity is in the range 2-16 Å). Using the Bayesian framework derived in a previous paper, we perform a rigorous analysis of a statistical subsample of non-detections for 10 Y-dropouts, including data from the literature, to study the cosmic evolution of the Lyα emission of Lyman break galaxies. We find that Lyα emission is suppressed at z ∼ 8 by at least a factor of three with respect to z ∼ 6 continuing the downward trend found by previous studies of z-dropouts at z ∼ 7. This finding suggests a dramatic evolution in the conditions of the intergalactic or circumgalactic media in just 300 Myr, consistent with the onset of reionization or changes in the physical conditions of the first generations of star-forming regions

Full Text Available Casos / Brief Report Resumen El virus HHV-6 es parte de la familia de los herpesvirus y se encuentra presente en la mayoría de los humanos, aunque sólo se activa para atacar a su huésped en casos donde se presenta inmunodepresión. Posee dos subtipos que se diferencian por el tamaño y la forma de infección que son el HHV-6A y el HHV-6B. En los recién nacidos, se le ha detectado y relacionado con trastornos neuro pediátricos desde hace más de 15 años. Principalmente se le relaciona con la epilepsia benigna, las convulsiones febriles, la encefalitis, la meningoencefalitis, la meningitis y la esclerosis multiple. Actualmente el virus se evoca en estudios de caso relacionados con los trastornos del neurodesarrollo, debido a que éste puede atacar el Sistema Nervioso Central. El daño causado se manifestaría a largo plazo a través de una presentación sintomática similar a lo que se observa por ejemplo en los trastornos del espectro autista. Este artículo busca analizar la presencia del virus y su relación con los trastornos del desarrollo en infantes alrededor del mundo.

Observation of Vacancies, Faults, and Superstructures in Ln5Mo2O12 (Ln = La, Y, and Lu) Compounds with Direct Mo-Mo Bonding.

Among oxide compounds with direct metal-metal bonding, the Y 5 Mo 2 O 12 (A 5 B 2 O 12 ) structural family of compounds has a particularly intriguing low-dimensional structure due to the presence of bioctahedral B 2 O 10 dimers arranged in one-dimensional edge-sharing chains along the direction of the metal-metal bonds. Furthermore, these compounds can have a local magnetic moment due to the noninteger oxidation state (+4.5) of the transition metal, in contrast to the conspicuous lack of a local moment that is commonly observed when oxide compounds with direct metal-metal bonding have integer oxidation states resulting from the lifting of orbital degeneracy typically induced by the metal-metal bonding. Although a monoclinic C2/m structure has been previously proposed for Ln 5 Mo 2 O 12 (Ln = La-Lu and Y) members of this family based on prior single crystal diffraction data, it is found that this structural model misses many important structural features. On the basis of synchrotron powder diffraction data, it is shown that the C2/m monoclinic unit cell represents a superstructure relative to a previously unrecognized orthorhombic Immm subcell and that the superstructure derives from the ordering of interchangeable Mo 2 O 10 and LaO 6 building blocks. The superstructure for this reason is typically highly faulted, as evidenced by the increased breadth of superstructure diffraction peaks associated with a coherence length of 1-2 nm in the c* direction. Finally, it is shown that oxygen vacancies can occur when Ln = La, producing an oxygen deficient stoichiometry of La 5 Mo 2 O 11.55 and an approximately 10-fold reduction in the number of unpaired electrons due to the reduction of the average Mo valence from +4.5 to +4.05, a result confirmed by magnetic susceptibility measurements. This represents the first observation of oxygen vacancies in this family of compounds and provides an important means of continuously tuning the magnetic interactions within the one

Among three intermetallic compounds existing in Y-Mn system the YMn{sub 2} and Y{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} can easily form interstitial hydrides while for YMn{sub 12} existence of hydride has never been reported. At moderate hydrogen pressure YMn{sub 2} and Y{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} transform into YMn{sub 2}H{sub 4.5} and Y{sub 6}Mn{sub 23}H{sub 25} respectively. At high hydrogen pressure the YMn{sub 2} (C15 or C14 parent structure) forms a unique YMn{sub 2}H{sub 6} (s.g. Fm3m) complex hydride of fluorite structure in which one Mn atom Mn(1) and Y randomly occupy the 8c sites while second manganese (Mn2) in position 4a forms complex anion with 6 hydrogen atoms located in positions 24e. Formation of YMn{sub 2}H{sub 6} independently of the structure of parent phase (C14 or C15) as well as occupation of the same site (8c) by Y and Mn(1) atoms suggested that also Y{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} and YMn{sub 12} could transform into YMn{sub 2}H{sub 6} - type hydride in which suitable number of Y atoms will be substituted by Mn(1) in the 8c positions. This assumption was confirmed by exposing R{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} and RMn{sub 12} to 1 GPa of hydrogen pressure at 100{sup 0}C. Formation of (R{sub x}Mn{sub 2-x})MnH{sub 6} (where x = 18/29 or 3/13 for R{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} and RMn{sub 12} hydrides respectively) was confirmed by XRD. Hydrogen concentration in both R{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} and RMn{sub 12} based hydrides reached H/Me = 2 thus value two times higher than in R{sub 6}Mn{sub 23}H{sub 25}.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have crucial roles in the regulation of plant development and in plant responses to stress. Plant recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or pathogen-derived effector proteins has been shown to trigger activation of several MAPKs. This then controls defence responses, including synthesis and/or signalling of defence hormones and activation of defence related genes. The MAPK cascade genes are highly complex and interconnected, and thus the precise signalling mechanisms in specific plant-pathogen interactions are still not known. Here we investigated the MAPK signalling network involved in immune responses of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to Potato virus Y, an important potato pathogen worldwide. Sequence analysis was performed to identify the complete MAPK kinase (MKK) family in potato, and to identify those regulated in the hypersensitive resistance response to Potato virus Y infection. Arabidopsis has 10 MKK family members, of which we identified five in potato and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), and eight in Nicotiana benthamiana. Among these, StMKK6 is the most strongly regulated gene in response to Potato virus Y. The salicylic acid treatment revealed that StMKK6 is regulated by the hormone that is in agreement with the salicylic acid-regulated domains found in the StMKK6 promoter. The involvement of StMKK6 in potato defence response was confirmed by localisation studies, where StMKK6 accumulated strongly only in Potato-virus-Y-infected plants, and predominantly in the cell nucleus. Using a yeast two-hybrid method, we identified three StMKK6 targets downstream in the MAPK cascade: StMAPK4_2, StMAPK6 and StMAPK13. These data together provide further insight into the StMKK6 signalling module and its involvement in plant defence.

For a system of white-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) fabricated using near-ultraviolet (UV) LED chips coated with RGB tri-color phosphors, the most important issue is enhancing the efficiency of the red phosphor. Y{sub 6}WO{sub 12}:Eu{sup 3+} phosphor is a potential material that can emit red color under near-UV excitation. This work investigated the luminescence properties of Y{sub 6}WO{sub 12}:Eu{sup 3+} under UV light excitation. The photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity of Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphor from the {sup 5}D{sub 0}→{sup 7}F{sub 2} transition increased with Eu{sup 3+} content until x = 0.9. For x > 0.9, the PL emission intensity decreased due to concentration quenching. The decay time of Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphor for the {sup 5}D{sub 0}→{sup 7}F{sub 2} transition was about 0.6–0.7 ms and did not decrease obviously, which means that there was no nonradiative energy transfer in the phosphor. The asymmetry ratio ({sup 5}D{sub 0} → {sup 7}F{sub 2}/{sup 5}D{sub 0} → {sup 7}F{sub 1}) of Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) was about 2, which caused the PL emission intensity of Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphor from the {sup 5}D{sub 0}→{sup 7}F{sub 2} transition to be higher than that from the {sup 5}D{sub 0}→{sup 7}F{sub 1} transition. The chromaticity coordinates of the Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphor were close to the chromaticity coordinates of the standard red color. The Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.9) phosphor showed the highest quantum efficiency. - Highlights: • Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphors were synthesized via a solid-state reaction. • Strongest excitation peaks observed at 392 nm (near UV) and 463 nm (blue). • The major emission peak of the red phosphor excited by 392 nm was at 605 nm. • The quantum efficiency of Eu{sub x}Y{sub 6–x}WO{sub 12} (x = 0.1–1.0) phosphors

A combination of S-XRD and NPD demonstrate the structure of Ba{sub 2}Y{sub 0.879}UO{sub 6+x} to be monoclinic in space group I2/m. That the U is hexavalent is evident from the U L{sub 2}-edge XANES measurements. This appears to be a rare example of a double perovskite containing vacancies at the octahedral B-sites and interstitial oxygen defects, which combine to stabilise hexavalent U and appears to be a consequence of the preparation of the sample in air. The Y vacancies, coupled with anion disorder, results in a distortion of the BO{sub 6} octahedra. - Graphical abstract: The structure of Ba{sub 2}Y{sub 0.879}UO{sub 6+x} is shown to be a rare example of a double perovskite containing vacancies at the octahedral B-sites and interstitial oxygen defects. - Highlights: • Structure of Ba{sub 2}Y{sub 0.879}UO{sub 6+x} refined. • U L-edge XANES demonstrates the U is hexavalent. • Rare example of a perovskite containing vacancies at the octahedral B-site. • Y vacancies result in a distortion of the BO{sub 6} octahedra.

Full Text Available Abstract Background Human kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6 has been implicated in various types of cancer and in neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis. Further, anti-KLK6 antibodies attenuated disease manifestations in the mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Availability of specific antibodies against KLK6 is fundamental to the development of improved diagnostic and/or immunotherapeutic applications. Here, we exploited the enhanced immunogenicity of mammalian proteins in avian species to generate a polyclonal antibody against KLK6. Results Chicken were immunized with recombinant KLK6 and antibodies Y (IgYs were purified from egg yolk with a simple procedure and evaluated for KLK6 detection by ELISA and Western blot using recombinant proteins and human cell lysates and supernatants. The anti-KLK6 Y polyclonal exhibited high affinity for KLK6 with a detection limit of 30 fmol. On the other hand, the widely used rabbit polyclonal antibody that was raised against the same recombinant KLK6 had a detection limit of 300 fmol. Moreover, the IgYs did not display any crossreactivity with recombinant KLKs or endogenous KLKs and other cellular proteins. Conclusions Based on its high specificity and sensitivity the developed anti-KLK6 IgY is expected to aid the development of improved diagnostic tools for the detection of KLK6 in biological and clinical samples.

Out-of-pile diffusion experiments were performed between U-7 wt.% Mo-1 wt.% Zr and Al or Al A356 (7,1 wt.% Si) at 550 C degrees. In this work morphological characterization and phase identification on both interaction layers are presented. They were carried out by the use of different techniques: optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and WDS microanalysis. In the interaction layer U-7 wt.% Mo-1 wt.% Zr/Al, the phases UAl{sub 3}, UAl{sub 4}, Al{sub 20}Mo{sub 2}U and Al{sub 43}Mo{sub 4}U{sub 6} were identified. Similar results in the interaction layer of the U-7 % Mo/Al at 580 C degrees were previously obtained. In the interaction layer U-7 wt.% Mo-1 wt.% Zr/Al A356, the phases U(Al,Si){sub 3} with 25 at.% Si and Si{sub 5}U{sub 3} were identified.

The germanides RE{sub 3}Pt{sub 4}Ge{sub 6} (RE=Y, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd-Dy) have been synthesized by arc-melting of the elements followed by inductive annealing to improve the crystallinity and allow for structural order. The compounds have been studied by powder X-ray diffraction; additionally the structure of Y{sub 3}Pt{sub 4}Ge{sub 6} has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data. It exhibits a (3+1)D modulated structure, indicating isotypism with Ce{sub 3}Pt{sub 4}Ge{sub 6}. The crystal structure can be described as an intergrowth between YIrGe{sub 2}- and CaBe{sub 2}Ge{sub 2}-type slabs along [100].

Infant feeding may play an important role in the development of childhood overweight and obesity. The objective of this study was to examine whether duration of breastfeeding (BF), timing of introduction of complementary food, and protein intake at age 18 mo are associated with body mass index [BMI (measured in kg/m2)] and overweight at ages 7 and 11 y, independent of BMI during infancy. Children participating in the Danish National Birth Cohort were followed up at ages 7 and 11 y. Information on infant feeding, protein intake at age 18 mo, Ponderal Index at birth, child BMI (at ages 5 mo, 12 mo, 7 y, and 11 y), and several parental factors was available. Path analysis was used to assess the direct and indirect effects of infant feeding on BMI z scores (BMIz) at ages 7 (n = 36,481) and 11 y (n = 22,047). Logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations with overweight. Duration of BF was not associated with childhood BMIz at ages 7 and 11 y. Earlier introduction of complementary food (y, but with a 0.069 (95% CI: 0.021, 0.117, P = 0.005) higher BMIz at age 11 y and increased risk of overweight at age 11 y (OR 1.44; 95% CI: 1.04, 2.00; P = 0.03). Protein intake from dairy products (per 5 g/d) was associated with higher BMIz only at age 7 y (OR: 0.012; 95% CI: 0.003, 0.021; P = 0.007). Protein intake from meat and fish (per 2 g/d) was associated with a 0.010 (95% CI: 0.004, 0.017; P = 0.003) higher BMIz at age 7 y, a 0.013 (95% CI: 0.005, 0.020; P = 0.002) higher BMIz at age 11 y and increased odds of overweight at age 7 y (OR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.10; P y. Intake of protein from meat and fish at age 18 mo was associated with higher BMIz and risk of overweight in childhood. However, the effect sizes were small. Early introduction of complementary food may be associated with child BMIz and child overweight. This study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03334760.

Background: There is an increasing recognition of malnutrition among infants under 6 mo of age (U6M). Current diagnosis criteria use weight-for-length z scores (WLZs), but the 2006 WHO standards exclude infants shorter than 45 cm. In older children, midupper arm circumference (MUAC) predicts mortality better than does WLZ. Outcomes may also be influenced by exposure to HIV and size or gestational age at birth. Diagnostic thresholds for WLZ, MUAC, and other indexes have not been fully evaluated against mortality risk among U6M infants. Objective: The aim was to determine the association of anthropometric indexes with risks of inpatient and postdischarge mortality among U6M infants recruited at the time of hospitalization. Design: We analyzed data from a cohort of U6M infants admitted to Kilifi County Hospital (2007-2013), Kenya. The primary outcomes were inpatient death and death during follow-up over 1 y after discharge. We calculated adjusted RRs for inpatient mortality and HRs for postdischarge mortality for different anthropometric measures and thresholds. Discriminatory value was assessed by using receiver operating characteristic curves. Results: A total of 2882 infants were admitted: 140 (4.9%) died in the hospital and 1405 infants were followed up after discharge. Of these, 75 (5.3%) died within 1 y during 1318 child-years of observation. MUAC and weight-for-age z score (WAZ) predicted inpatient and postdischarge mortality better than did WLZ ( P 0.05) and performed better than WLZ <-3 for both inpatient and postdischarge mortality (both P < 0.001). Reported small size at birth did not reduce the risk of death associated with anthropometric indexes. Conclusions: U6M infants at the highest risk of death are best targeted by using MUAC or WAZ. Further research into the effectiveness of potential interventions is required.

Ce x Y 1-x TiTaO 6 ceramics were prepared through the solid-state ceramic route. The materials were sintered in the range 1520-1580 deg. C. The structure of the system was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic methods. The cell parameters of solid solutions were calculated using the least square method. The microstructure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric constant (ε r ), temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ) and the unloaded quality factor (Q u ) are measured in the microwave frequency region using cavity resonator method. The dielectric constant increases with higher concentrations of Ce in the solid solutions. Nearly zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ f ) was obtained for Ce 0.24 Y 0.76 TiTaO 6 . The samples are of high quality factor and are useful electronic materials for microwave applications

Full Text Available Highways AU-1 and AU-6, approximately 17 km. long, were constructed for the purpose of solving the serious traffic problems in Buenos Aires, a city of nine million inhabitants and an evergrowing number of cars. A computer program was created for the design based on the geometric shape of the highway and the position of the supports. Using this, all elements composing the structure were calculated and the framework was sized. This programme made it possible to complete a stretch of 150 metres per week. The very rapid construction was carried out through self-supporting arches made of metallic beams held in place by brackets. The brackets were fitted in specially designed grooves in the major supports of the highway.

Las autopistas AU-1 y AU-6, con una longitud aproximada de 17 km, se realizaron con objeto de resolver el grave problema de infraestructura vial del Municipio de Buenos Aires, ciudad de nueve millones de habitantes y con un parque de vehículos en rápido crecimiento. Para el proyecto se creó un programa de ordenador con el que, partiendo de la definición geométrica de la autopista y de la posición de las pilas, se calculan todos los elementos que componen la estructura y se dimensionan las armaduras. Este programa permitió proyectar un tramo (150 m por semana. La construcción, a un ritmo muy rápido, se llevó a cabo mediante cimbras autoportantes compuestas por vigas metálicas apoyadas sobre ménsulas, las cuales a su vez apoyan en unos nichos dejados en las pilas.

Two copper-molybdenum bronzes: Cu y MoO 3-z (0.1 x MoO 3 (0.2 3 at 600 o C under argon in Pt crucibles. Powder XRD showed that the material with global composition '0.1Cu.MoO 3 ' comprises ∼Cu 0.15 MoO 3 and MoO 3 ; whilst '0.2Cu.MoO 3 ' comprises ∼Cu 0.15 MoO 3 and ∼Cu 0.23 MoO 3 . DTA performed on '0.2Cu.MoO 3 ' reveals a reversible solid state phase transition ∼520 o C under argon. Reacting equimolar amounts of Cu 2 O and MoO 2 at 600 o C in a Cu crucible under argon yields: Cu 6 Mo 5 O 18 , Cu and MoO 2 . A tentative subsolidus Cu-MoO 2 -O isothermal (∼25 o C) phase diagram under argon is drawn from these data. Oxidation states of Cu and Mo within this system are discussed.

Full Text Available Las planicies de inundación atlánticas colombianas están impactadas por la minería aurífera artesanal desarrollada durante las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, la contaminación local por mercurio ha sido comparada con niveles de acción de otras latitudes y no se han incluido otros metales de interés sanitario en las investigaciones. El presente estudio contribuyó al conocimiento de la respuesta geoquímica espacial inducida por el pulso hidrológico y la composición de materia orgánica (MO en el área de influencia del complejo de humedales de Ayapel. Se evaluó la distribución espacial y temporal de mercurio (Hg, plomo (Pb, cromo (Cr y MO en el sedimento reciente del complejo cenagoso de Ayapel y se contrastó con el nivel de referencia de contaminación local por Hg (0,032 μg g-1, Pb (2,39 μg g-1 y Cr (89,58 μg g-1 determinado en la Formación Betulia. Los rangos de los tres metales fueron: 0,008-0,117 μg Hg g-1; 1,090-11,870 μg Pb g-1 y 5,350- 93,430 μg Cr g-1. El Hg mostró la mayor variabilidad espacial (0,083 ± 0,064 μg g-1 y niveles superiores en el afluente del frente de explotación aurífera en la década del 80. En comparación con el nivel de referencia, el 91 % del sedimento reciente presentó enriquecimiento por Pb (6,376 ± 4,048 μg g-1 y el 66,6 % enriquecimiento por Hg. En contraste, el contenido de Cr fue relativamente bajo (96,325 ± 29,868 μg g-1 y presentó tendencia a disminuir de oriente a occidente. El sedimento fue predominantemente inorgánico, con porcentajes medios de cenizas de 88,154 ± 3,822 % y escasos niveles de MO (11,846 ± 3,822 %. Se presume el aumento en la movilidad del Hg debido a la alta tasa de respiración de MO en la zona central del espejo de agua principal de la ciénaga de Ayapel. La resuspensión y migración de sedimentos contaminados es facilitada por la inestabilidad térmica de la columna de agua influenciada por la acción del viento.

The thermal expansion coefficient {alpha}(T) of YMn{sub 2}, Y{sub 6}Mn{sub 23} and YMn{sub 12} is presented in the temperature range 4.2-1000 K together with {alpha}(T) of YCo{sub 2} and YNi{sub 2}. The strong variation of {alpha}(T) of the Y-Mn compounds in their paramagnetic state is discussed under the assumption that there exist Mn atoms with different electronic configurations and therefore with different atomic volumes. Changes of the concentration of these different Mn atoms with temperature reveal this anomalous thermal expansion. (orig.). 3 refs.

Jarrold, Christopher; Phillips, Caroline; Baddeley, Alan D

2007-04-01

A main aim of this study was to test the claim that individuals with Williams syndrome have selectively impaired memory for spatial as opposed to visual information. The performance of 16 individuals with Williams syndrome (six males, 10 females; mean age 18y 7mo [SD 7y 6mo], range 9y 1mo-30y 7mo) on tests of short-term memory for item and location information was compared with that shown by individuals with moderate learning difficulties (12 males, four females; mean age 10y 3mo [SD 1y], range 8y 6mo-11y 7mo) and typically developing children (six males, 10 females; mean age 6y 8mo [SD 7mo], range 5y 10mo-7y 9mo) of an equivalent level of visuospatial ability. A second aim was to determine whether individuals had impaired ability to 'bind' visual spatial information when required to recall 'item in location' information. In contrast to previous findings, there was no evidence that individuals with Williams syndrome were more impaired in the spatial than the visual memory condition. However, individuals with both Williams syndrome and moderate learning difficulties showed impaired memory for item in location information, suggesting that problems of binding may be generally associated with learning disability.

Thiophene hydrodesulfurization over CoMo/Al2O3-CuY catalysts: Temperature effect study

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Yamina Boukoberine

2016-09-01

Full Text Available CoMo/γ-Al2O3-CuY catalysts are prepared by physically mixing CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst with Cu-exchanged Y zeolite. The CuY zeolite is prepared by the solid state ion exchange technique. The thiophene hydrodesulfurization is performed in a fixed bed reactor at high temperature and atmospheric pressure. The results show that the presence of CuY zeolite particles in CoMo/Al2O3 catalyst can have a noticeable effect on both the conversion and product selectivities. An increasing zeolite loading in catalyst results in a decrease of the thiophene HDS activity. This decrease is probably caused by the formation of heavy compounds and the deactivation of the zeolite at high temperatures.

Structure, magnetism and electronic properties in 3d-5d based double perovskite ({Sr_{1-x}} Y x )2FeIrO6

Kharkwal, K. C.; Pramanik, A. K.

2017-12-01

The 3d-5d based double perovskites are of current interest as they provide model systems to study the interplay between electronic correlation (U) and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, we report detailed structural, magnetic and transport properties of doped double perovskite material (Sr1-x Y x )2FeIrO6 with x ≤slant 0.2 . With substitution of Y, the system retains its original crystal structure but structural parameters change with x in nonmonotonic fashion. The magnetization data for Sr2FeIrO6 show antiferromagnetic type magnetic transition around 45 K however, a close inspection of the data indicates a weak magnetic phase transition around 120 K. No change of structural symmetry has been observed down to low temperature, although the lattice parameters show sudden changes around the magnetic transitions. Sr2FeIrO6 shows an insulating behavior over the whole temperature range, which nevertheless does not change with Y substitution. The nature of charge conduction is found to follow thermally activated Mott’s variable range hopping and power law behavior for parent and doped samples, respectively. Interestingly, evolution of structural, magnetic and transport behavior in (Sr1-x Y x )2FeIrO6 is observed to reverse with x > 0.1 , which is believed to arise due to a change in the transition metal ionic state.

2017-01-01

Sm"3"+ (3 mol%) ions doped Y_2O_3 nanophosphors were synthesized by green synthesis route using Aloe Vera gel as fuel. The final product was irradiated by 6 MeV electron beam (E-beam) to different fluences in the range (2–10 × 10"1"3 e"− cm"−"2) and well characterized. Powder X-ray Diffractogram (PXRD) results revealed the loss of crystalline nature due to lattice disorder created during irradiation. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic results showed absorption peaks around 688–843 cm"−"1 (Y-O bond), 1076 and 1398 cm"−"1 (C-O bond), 1505–1765 cm"−"1 and 3498 cm"−"1 (O-H bond). Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) images showed flake like morphological features. The Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectrum recorded at 407 nm excitation showed magnetic and electric dipole transitions at ∼569–575 ("4G_5_/_2 → "6H_5_/_2), ∼607–623 ("4G_5_/_2 → "6H_7_/_2) and ∼655–668 nm ("4G_5_/_2 → "6H_9_/_2) respectively. Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve consists of three peaks in E-beam irradiated nanophosphors at 158, 243 and 352 °C due to creation of more number of trapping and luminescent centers. The E-beam irradiated Y_2O_3:Sm"3"+ nanophosphors showed strong PL emission with color co-ordinate values lying in the orange-red region. Therefore, this material can be potentially used as a red component in WLEDs (White LEDs). - Highlights: • Y_2O_3:Sm"3"+ nanophosphor was synthesized by solution combustion technique using Aloe Vera gel as a fuel. • Y_2O_3:Sm"3"+ nanophosphor was irradiated with 6 MeV E-beam in the fluence range 2–10 × 10"1"3e"− cm"−"2. • The size of the particle decreases and surface area increases with increase in E-beam fluence. • The E-beam irradiated Y_2O_3:Sm"3"+ nanophosphors PL intensity increases and CIE coordinate values moves towards red region indicating the potential usage of this phosphor for LED applications.

Full Text Available Mignotte and Pethö used the Siegel-Baker method to find all the integral solutions (x,y,z of the system of Diophantine equations x2-6y2=-5 and x=2z2-1. In this paper, we extend this result and put forward a generalized method which can completely solve the family of systems of Diophantine equations x2-6y2=-5 and x=az2-b for each pair of integral parameters a,b. The proof utilizes algebraic number theory and p-adic analysis which successfully avoid discussing the class number and factoring the ideals.

Ir-based materials have attracted a lot of attention because of the competition between the spin-orbit coupling, Coulomb interaction and crystal field. Sr{sub 2}YIrO{sub 6} double perovskites with Ir{sup +5} (5d{sup 4}) ions are generally considered to have a nonmagnetic ground state (J=0). However, Sr{sub 2}YIrO{sub 6} double perovskites have been reported to exhibit long-range magnetic order at low temperature and the distorted IrO{sub 6} octahedra were discussed to cause the magnetism in this compound [2]. In this study Sr{sub 2}Y{sub 1+x}Ir{sub 1-x}O{sub 6} materials were investigated in relation to structural and magnetic properties with varying Y and Ir concentrations. The samples were prepared by solid-state chemical reaction method. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed down to 0.4 K.

We have studied the oxygen dependence of the two magnetic transitions (antiferromagnetic ordering of chains and planes) in YBa 2 Cu/sub 2.8/Co/sub 0.2/O/sub 6+y/ using neutron scattering. It is found that both transition temperatures increase with decreasing oxygen concentration. At y approx. 0.37 ( equivalent to y 0 ) the two transition temperatures are equal, so that chains and planes order at a single transition temperature for y less than or equal to y/sub 0/. For y=1 the compound is superconducting at 60 K. Therefore, this system qualitatively exhibits the magnetic and superconducting properties of pure YBa 2 Cu 3 O/sub 6+y/ while providing important insight on the oxygen dependence of chain site magnetic ordering. A discussion is presented which also includes results on Ni and Al substitutions

The visible and near infrared luminescence spectra of MoCl{sub 6} {sup 3-} in Cs{sub 2}NaMCl{sub 6} (M=Sc, Y, In) and MoBr{sub 6} {sup 3-} in Cs{sub 2}NaYBr{sub 6} have been reported between 15000 cm {sup -1} and 3000 cm {sup -1} at liquid helium temperatures. It has been observed that each electronic transition shows an extensive and rich vibronic structure, which can be analysed to yield the vibrational frequencies of the MoX{sub 6} {sup 3-} ion in each electronic state. A through analysis of the spectra for these systems, show that the vibrational frequencies associated with each of the electronic transition is almost identical. This is an evidence of a weak or rather negligible Jahn-Teller distortions. The spectra though are strongly influenced by resonant interactions among the MoX{sub 6} {sup 3-} ion and the internal and lattice modes of the host lattices and there is also a noticeable variation of the relative vibronic distributions of parity forbidden transitions assisted by the odd parity normal modes of vibrations. This present work deals with the most likely intensity mechanisms and a strategy is put forward to carry out explicit calculations for both, the electronic and vibrational factors of transitions of the kind {Gamma}{sub 1}{r_reversible} {Gamma}{sub 2} + v{sub k} for k=3, 4, and 6. Extension of this work to include the ion-phonon interaction is currently in progress in our laboratory. (Author)

Highlights: • Synthesis of two phases Y{sub 2−x}Eu{sub x}WO{sub 6}. One of them crystallizes as Aurivillius phase. • Optical properties of the phosphors Y{sub 2}WO{sub 6}:Eu{sup 3+} (monoclinic and orthorhombic phases). • The orthorhombic phase was prepared via low-temperature combustion synthesis method. - Abstract: In this paper, two different Y{sub 2−x}Eu{sub x}WO{sub 6} phases were synthesized. The monoclinic phase was prepared via a conventional solid-state reaction, whereas the orthorhombic phase was obtained via a facile, low-temperature combustion synthesis method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to characterize the resulting phosphors. The XRD results indicate the orthorhombic phase crystallized isostructurally with the Aurivillius Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6} phase, whereas the other polymorph crystallized isostructurally with Yb{sub 2}WO{sub 6} in the monoclinic system. The SEM studies revealed both phases had a strong tendency to form agglomerates averaging nanometers in size. The photoluminescence emission spectra confirmed all of the samples were efficiently excited by near UV light and were dominated by the electric dipole transition {sup 5}D{sub 0} → {sup 7}F{sub 2}. The orthorhombic Y{sub 2−x}Eu{sub x}WO{sub 6} excitation spectrum possessed a broad band across the entire UV region (220–400 nm); therefore, Y{sub 1.86}Eu{sub 0.14}WO{sub 6} could be considered an efficient spectral converter material for use in dye-sensitized solar cells.

Iimoriite-(Y) from Bokan Mountain, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska has been studied using single-crystal X-ray-diffraction techniques. The mineral, ideally Y2(SiO4)(CO3), crystallizes in space group P1, with a 6.5495(13), b 6.6291(14), c 6.4395(11)A??, ?? 116.364(15), ?? 92.556(15) and ?? 95.506(17)??. The atomic arrangement has been solved and refined to an R value of 0.019. The arrangement of atoms consists of alternating (011) slabs of orthosilicate groups and carbonate groups, with no sharing of oxygen atoms between anionic complexes in adjacent slabs. Y1 atoms separate adjacent tetrahedra along [100] within the orthosilicate slab, and Y2 atoms separate adjacent carbonate groups along [100] within the carbonate slab. Adjacent orthosilicate and carbonate slabs are linked in (100) by bonding Y atoms from each slab to oxygen atoms of adjacent slabs, in the form of YO8 polyhedra. The Y1 atoms exist in Y12O14 dimers in the orthosilicate slab, and the Y2 atoms exist in continuous [011] ribbons of edge-sharing Y2O8 polyhedra in the carbonate slab.

Tungsten and molybdenum double perovskites as pinning centers in melt-textured Y123

Y123+30 mol% Y211 powders were doped with tungsten and platinum, and textured. Microstructure studies show the presence of profuse spherical deposits, 200-300 nm in diameter. These deposits were identified as (W{sub 0.5}Pt{sub 0.5})YBa{sub 2}O{sub 6}, a double perovskite. The size of the W-rich deposits is independent of the W doping level. There is no substitution of W into the Y123 matrix. For Pt doping >0.5 wt.%, trapped field is observed to increase monotonically up to 40% for W doping of up to 0.48 wt.%. We conservatively estimate that this corresponds to a 60% increase in J{sub c} at constant field. Thus (W{sub 0.5}Pt{sub 0.5})YBa{sub 2}O{sub 6} double perovskites deposits act as pinning centers. Similar studies of molybdenum doping indicate deposits 200-300 nm, of (Mo{sub 0.5}Pt{sub 0.5})YBa{sub 2}O{sub 6}, also a double perovskite. The (W{sub 0.5}Pt{sub 0.5})YBa{sub 2}O{sub 6} and (Mo{sub 0.5}Pt{sub 0.5})YBa{sub 2}O{sub 6} deposits are remarkably similar to the (U{sub 0.6}Pt{sub 0.4})YBa{sub 2}O{sub 6} deposits found earlier in U-doped Y123. Therefore, W and Mo are suitable non-radioactive substitutes for U.

This work concerns the optical properties of alkaline earth yttrium apatites according to the composition AE{sub 2}Y{sub 8}Si{sub 6}O{sub 26} (AE=Mg, Ca, Sr) doped with Eu{sup 3+}, which are materials of interest for LED applications. Using a multistep preparation route, which includes hydrothermal synthesis of precursors for solid state reaction, ceramic samples were prepared and their structural and optical properties characterised. More particularly, this work relates to site-selective spectroscopy, since the compounds comprise two distinguishable crystallographic sites within the host structure, where Eu{sup 3+} can be substituted. It also describes the temperature dependent photoluminescence, which thermal quenching temperature (T{sub 1/2}) for Sr{sub 2}Y{sub 8}Si{sub 6}O{sub 26}:Eu{sup 3+} and Ca{sub 2}Y{sub 8}Si{sub 6}O{sub 26}:Eu{sup 3+} is in the range of 561 K and 591 K respectively, whereas Mg{sub 2}Y{sub 8}Si{sub 6}O{sub 26}:Eu{sup 3+} shows bi-sigmoidal quenching behaviour in the range between 210 and 452 K.

Both nuclear and cytoplasmic components are defective in oocytes of the B6.Y(TIR) sex-reversed female mouse.

In the mammalian gonadal primordium, activation of the Sry gene on the Y chromosome initiates a cascade of genetic events leading to testicular organization whereas its absence results in ovarian differentiation. An exception occurs when the Y chromosome of Mus musculus domesticus from Tirano, Italy (Y(TIR)), is placed on the C57BL/6J (B6) genetic background. The B6.Y(TIR) progeny develop only ovaries or ovotestes despite Sry transcription in fetal life. Consequently, the XY offspring with bilateral ovaries develop into apparently normal females, but their eggs fail to develop after fertilization. Our previous studies have shown that the primary cause of infertility can be attributed to oocytes rather than their surrounding somatic cells in the XY ovary. This study attempted to identify the defects in oocytes from the B6.Y(TIR) female mouse. We examined the developmental potential of embryos from XY and XX females after exchanging their nuclear components by microsurgery following in vitro maturation and fertilization. The results suggest that both nuclear and cytoplasmic components are defective in oocytes from XY females. In the XY fetal ovary, most germ cells entered meiosis and their autosomes appeared to synapse normally while the X and Y chromosomes remained unpaired during meiotic prophase. This lack of X-Y pairing probably caused aneuploidy in some secondary oocytes following in vitro maturation. However, normal numbers of chromosomes in the rest of the secondary oocytes indicate that aneuploidy alone can not explain the nuclear defect in oocytes. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Austronesian diffusion is considered one of the greatest dispersals in human history; it led to the peopling of an extremely vast region, ranging from Madagascar in the Indian Ocean to Easter Island in Remote Oceania. The Y-chromosome haplogroup O3a2b*-P164(xM134), a predominant paternal lineage of Austronesian populations, is found at high frequencies in Polynesian populations. However, the internal phylogeny of this haplogroup remains poorly investigated. In this study, we analyzed -seventeen Y-chromosome sequences of haplogroup O3a2b*-P164(xM134) and generated a revised phylogenetic tree of this lineage based on 310 non-private Y-chromosome polymorphisms. We discovered that all available O3a2b*-P164(xM134) samples belong to the newly defined haplogroup O3a2b2-N6 and samples from Austronesian populations belong to the sublineage O3a2b2a2-F706. Additionally, we genotyped a series of Y-chromosome polymorphisms in a large collection of samples from China. We confirmed that the sublineage O3a2b2a2b-B451 is unique to Austronesian populations. We found that O3a2b2-N6 samples are widely distributed on the eastern coastal regions of Asia, from Korea to Vietnam. Furthermore, we propose- that the O3a2b2a2b-B451 lineage represents a genetic connection between ancestors of Austronesian populations and ancient populations in North China, where foxtail millet was domesticated about 11,000 years ago. The large number of newly defined Y-chromosome polymorphisms and the revised phylogenetic tree of O3a2b2-N6 will be helpful to explore the origin of proto-Austronesians and the early diffusion process of Austronesian populations.

Attempts to synthesize Pr{sub 4}Mo{sub 7}O{sub 27} using Pr, Pr{sub 6}O{sub 11} and MoO{sub 3} in a molar ratio of 8:6:77 led to a main product of scheelite-type Pr{sub 0.667}[MoO{sub 4}] and few single crystals of the triclinic A-type Pr{sub 6}Mo{sub 10}O{sub 39}. The latter crystallizes in space group P anti 1 (a=945.25(1), b=1058.49(2), c=1815.16(3) pm; α=104.149(1), β=95.220(1), γ=102.617(1) , Z=2). Its crystal structure comprises six crystallographically independent Pr{sup 3+} cations, eight tetrahedral [MoO{sub 4}]{sup 2-} units, and one [Mo{sub 2}O{sub 7}]{sup 2-} entity. The cations display coordination numbers of seven (1 x) and eight (5 x), while the [MoO{sub 4}]{sup 2-} tetrahedra are surrounded by five Pr{sup 3+} cations each. The [Mo{sub 2}O{sub 7}]{sup 2-} anions exhibit a coordination environment of seven Pr{sup 3+} cations. The attempt to synthesize PrF[MoO{sub 4}] using PrOF (from in situ thermal decomposition of PrF[CO{sub 3}]) as reagent did not lead to the desired product but to monoclinic B-type Pr{sub 6}Mo{sub 10}O{sub 39}. This slightly less dense modification compared to its triclinic analogue crystallizes in space group C2/c (a=1247.93(3), b=1989.68(6), c=1392.52 (4) pm, β=100.505(2) , Z=4) with three crystallographically independent Pr{sup 3+} cations, four [MoO{sub 4}]{sup 2-} tetrahedra, and again one [Mo{sub 2}O{sub 7}]{sup 2-} unit in the crystal structure. Thus, both Pr{sub 6}Mo{sub 10}O{sub 39} modifications are better described with the structured formula Pr{sub 6}[MoO{sub 4}]{sub 8}[Mo{sub 2}O{sub 7}]. The coordination numbers around the Pr{sup 3+} cations are seven (1 x) and eight (2 x) while all four [MoO{sub 4}]{sup 2-} anions are again surrounded by five Pr{sup 3+} cations each. Six of the latter represent the coordination environment around the [Mo{sub 2}O{sub 7}]{sup 2-} entities. Besides the thorough comparison of the crystal structures single crystal Raman spectra were recorded for both Pr{sub 6}Mo{sub 10}O{sub 39

Spectral intensities: The emission spectra for the Cs2NaScCl6: MoCl63- system in the Fm3m space group

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Acevedo, R.; Meruane, T.; Navarro, G.

2000-01-01

Taking advantage of the data reported by Flint and Paulusz, we have undertaken a theoretical investigation of the intensity mechanism for the various emissions; Γ 8 ( 2 T 2g ) → Γ 8 ( 4 A 2g ), Γ 8 ( 2 E g ), Γ 8 ( 2 T 1g ), Γ 6 ( 2 T 1g ) for the Cs 2 NaScCl 6 :MoCl 6 3- system in the Fm3m-space group. The experimental data reported by these authors, refer to the visible and near infrared luminescence spectra of MoCl 3- 6 complex ion in different host, such as Cs 2 NaMCl 6 (M = Sc, Y, In), measured between 15,000 cm -1 and 3,000 cm -1 at liquid helium temperatures. At least, five luminescence transitions have been identified and assigned and each of them show extensive vibronic structure, which was analyzed to yield the vibrational frequencies of the MoX 3- 6 (X -1 = Cl -1 Br -1 ) ion in each excitation. A careful analysis of the experimental data reported shows that for the various observed electronic transitions, the vibration frequencies do change only slightly, and therefore there is no indication that the system undergoes a Jahn-Teller distortion (along an active coordinate) of some importance to be taken into account in the current work. There is, though clear evidence that for the chloro-elpasolites, there is a strong resonance interaction between ν 3 (τ 1u : stretching) of the MoX 6 3- , complex ion and that of the host when M = In, Y. Thus for M = Sc, the slighter higher host ν 3 , wavenumber is likely to minimizes the effect of this coupling. This experimental evidence, will allow us for the Cs 2 NaScCl 6 3- system to neglect to first order approximation, the coupling among the internal and the external vibrations and to proceed using a both a molecular model and the independent system model (ISM)

Effects of annealing, acid and alcoholic beverages on Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4

2013-01-01

We have systematically investigated and compared different methods to induce superconductivity in the iron chalcogenide Fe 1+y Te 0.6 Se 0.4 , including annealing in a vacuum, N 2 , O 2 and I 2 atmospheres and immersing samples into acid and alcoholic beverages. Vacuum and N 2 annealing are proved to be ineffective in inducing superconductivity in a Fe 1+y Te 0.6 Se 0.4 single crystal. Annealing in O 2 and I 2 and immersion in acid and alcoholic beverages can induce superconductivity by oxidizing the excess Fe in the sample. Superconductivity in O 2 annealed samples is of a bulk nature, while I 2 , acid and alcoholic beverages can only induce superconductivity near the surface. By comparing the different effects of O 2 , I 2 , acid and alcoholic beverages we propose a scenario to explain how the superconductivity is induced in the non-superconducting as-grown Fe 1+y Te 0.6 Se 0.4 .

Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}:Tb{sup 3+} nanophosphors were synthesized by solution combustion technique and irradiated with 6 MeV energetic electrons in the fluence range 2–10×10{sup 13} e{sup −}cm{sup −2}. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns confirm cubic phase of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}. The crystallite size was estimated using Scherrer method and was found to be in the order of ~39 nm. SEM micrographs revealed the formation of non-uniform spherical shaped particles for higher electron fluence. Photoluminescence spectra (PL) of pristine and Tb{sup 3+} doped Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} were recorded in the fluence range 2–10×10{sup 13} e{sup −}cm{sup −2}. PL intensity was found to increase up to 4×10{sup 13} e{sup −}cm{sup −2} and thereafter it decreases with further increase in electron fluence. This may be attributed to lattice disorder produced by dense electronic excitation under electron irradiation. The characteristic emission peaks of Tb{sup 3+} were observed at ~ 484–490 nm ({sup 5}D{sub 4}→{sup 7}F{sub 6}), 548 nm ({sup 5}D{sub 4}→{sup 7}F{sub 5}) and 587 nm ({sup 5}D{sub 4}→{sup 7}F{sub 4}) at excited wavelength 397 nm. Two TL glow peaks were recorded in both pristine and electron irradiated samples indicate that two types of traps were created. The color co-ordinate values (x, y) were located in the green region of the CIE diagram suggests that electron irradiated Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}:Tb{sup 3+} phosphor could be used in white LEDs.

Highlights: • Single-phase optical materials of Y{sub 6}O{sub 5}F{sub 8}:Er and YOF:Er were prepared. • Effective spectral converting properties were observed in Y{sub 6}O{sub 5}F{sub 8}:Er,Yb. • 980 nm diode laser was irradiated for up-converting analysis. • A multi-photon process in the phosphors was investigated. - Abstract: Optical materials composed of a Y{sub 6(1−p−q)}Er{sub 6p}Yb{sub 6q}O{sub 5}F{sub 8} (p = 0.001–0.1, q = 0.005–0.1) solid solution with Y{sub 0.99}Er{sub 0.01}OF were prepared via a solid-state reaction using excess NH{sub 4}F flux at 950 °C for 30 min. X-ray diffraction patterns of Y{sub 6(1−p−q)}Er{sub 6p}Yb{sub 6q}O{sub 5}F{sub 8} and Y{sub 0.99}Er{sub 0.01}OF were compared upon altering the synthesis temperature and the molar ratio of the NH{sub 4}F flux to the Y{sup 3+} (Er{sup 3+}, Yb{sup 3+}) ions. The effective spectral-conversion properties of Er{sup 3+} and Er{sup 3+}–Yb{sup 3+} ions in Y{sub 6}O{sub 5}F{sub 8} phosphors were monitored during excitation with a 980 nm wavelength diode-laser. Selection of appropriate Er{sup 3+} and/or Yb{sup 3+} concentrations in the Y{sub 6}O{sub 5}F{sub 8} structure led to achievement of the desired up-conversion emission, from the green to the red regions of the spectra. Furthermore, the mechanism of up-conversion in the phosphors was described by an energy-level schematic. Up-conversion emission spectra and the dependence of the emission intensity on pump power (between 193 and 310 mW) in the Y{sub 6(0.995−q)}Er{sub 0.03}Yb{sub 6q}O{sub 5}F{sub 8} phosphors were also investigated.

El argumento sostiene que la violación de las leyes lleva a la destrucción de cualquier sistema jurídico y acarrea resultados perjudiciales para los miembros de la comunidad (50a6-50c. En este trabajo realizaremos un análisis crítico del argumento bajo los postulados de tres corrientes utilitaristas: el utilitarismo de acto, la generalización utilitarista y el utilitarismo de regla. Veremos cómo esta clase de argumentación presenta algunos inconvenientes a la hora de justificar la obediencia al derecho. Una vez realizado este estudio se propondrá otra interpretación complementaria sobre el significado del pasaje, en la que se destacará su costado retórico forense y la idea de la autoridad del derecho.

The local magnetic fields at the Y 89 and Fe 57 nuclei in the intermetallic compound Y 6 Fe 23 and their shift induced by pressure are investigated by the NMR technique. The results are discussed on the basis of a model in which the atomic magnetic moment for iron includes the moment of polarized collectivized electrons responsible for the chemical bond between yttrium and iron. It is shown that with decreasing concentration of yttrium in the Y x Fe y compounds delocalization of the iron magnetic electrons occurs

Eosin Y, an organic dye, was activated as a photoredox catalyst in the presence of molecular oxygen using visible light and, when it was used in the reaction of aryl ketones and benzyl amines, afforded good yields (52-87%) of 2,4,6-triarylpyridines (21 examples) at ambient temperature. The aryl groups at the 2- and 6-positions are derived from ketones, while benzyl amine plays the dual role of providing an aryl functionality at the 4-position of pyridine as well as being a nitrogen donor.

In this work, we report the tunable emission properties of Ce 3+ in an apatite-type LiY 9 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 compound via adjusting the doping concentration or temperature. The occupancies of Ce 3+ ions at two different sites (Wyckoff 6h and 4f sites) in LiY 9 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 have been determined by Rietveld refinements. Two kinds of Ce 3+ f-d transitions have been studied in detail and then assigned to certain sites. The effects of temperature and doping concentration on Ce 3+ luminescence properties have been systematically investigated. It is found that the Ce 3+ ions prefer occupying Wyckoff 6h sites and the energy transfer between Ce 3+ at two sites becomes more efficient with an increase in doping concentration. In addition, the charge-transfer vibronic exciton (CTVE) induced by the existence of free oxygen ion plays an important role in the thermal quenching of Ce 3+ at 6h sites. Because of the tunable emissions from cyan to blue with increasing temperature, the phosphors LiY 9 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 :Ce 3+ are endowed with possible thermometric applications.

We report the magnetic entropy change (ΔS{sub M}) and the critical exponents in the double perovskite manganite Y{sub 2}NiMnO{sub 6} with a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition T{sub C}∼85K. For a magnetic field change ΔH=80kOe, a maximum magnetic entropy change ΔS{sub M}=−6.57J/kgK is recorded around T{sub C}. The critical exponents β=0.363±0.05 and γ=1.331±0.09 obtained from power law fitting to spontaneous magnetization M{sub S}(T) and the inverse initial susceptibility χ{sub 0}{sup −1}(T) satisfy well to values derived for a 3D-Heisenberg ferromagnet. The critical exponent δ=4.761±0.129 is determined from the isothermal magnetization at T{sub C}. The scaling exponents corresponding to second order phase transition are consistent with the exponents from Kouvel–Fisher analysis and satisfy Widom's scaling relation δ=1+(γ/β). Additionally, they also satisfy the single scaling equation M(H,ϵ)=ϵ{sup β}f±(H/ϵ{sup β+γ}) according to which the magnetization-field-temperature data around T{sub C} should collapse into two curves for temperatures below and above T{sub C}. - Highlights: • The magneto-caloric (MC) effect and the critical exponent analysis in Y{sub 2}NiMnO{sub 6} are studied. • Methods such as Kouvel–Fisher, Widom's and Mean-Field scaling are used. • The magnetic ground state in Y{sub 2}NiMnO{sub 6} is based on isotropic 3D Heisenberg model. • The large MC effect can be utilized towards magnetic refrigeration around 77 K. • The nearest neighbor interaction in Y{sub 2}NiMnO{sub 6} rules out ferroelectricity.

The present volume 'Rare Earth Elements' A 6a describes origin, mode of occurrence, and behavior of Y and RE elements in the sedimentary and metamorphic cycles, and completes the series of volumes describing cosmo- and geochemistry of these elements. In the chapter 'Sedimentary Cycle', the behavior of Y and RE during the weathering process is first outlined under both marine and terrestrial conditions, including a short compilation for migration and precipitation in surficial weathering and oxidation zones. The main part of the chapter treats, in addition to the mode of occurrence, predominantly the distribution of Y and RE in the different types of sedimentary rocks in relation to genetic processes (comprising physical and/or spatial factors such as geological age of the deposition). A concluding part gives a description of mobilization, migration, and precipitation of Y and RE during the diagenetic transformation of sediments, especially in relation to the various types of ferromanganese concretions. In the chapter 'Metamorphic Cycle', the first, extensive part gives examples of mode of occurrence and behavior of Y and RE during both the contact-metamorphic and prograde and retrograde regional-metamorphic processes affecting sedimentary and igeneous source rocks. The second part briefly describes behaviour of Y and RE during ultrametamorphism of metamorphic rocks, and during metamorphic processes in connection with special types of geologic events (as, e.g., subduction of crustal material into the earth's mantle and impact of extraterrestrial material).

Full Text Available En esta época de respeto por la ciencia médica y por la responsabilidad gerencial, las organizaciones de salud deben rendir cuentas por sus acciones con creciente frecuencia. La época en que se determinaban las prioridades y se tomaban las decisiones sobre bases políticas o acatando el consejo intuitivo de asesores respetados y bien intencionados ha dado paso gradualmente a una era que valora la demostración de efectividad y eficiencia. Las decisiones relativas a las prioridades y a los programas deben basarse firmemente en conocimientos comprobados y someterse a evaluación continua. Esta transición requiere promover el pensamiento crítico en todos los ámbitos. Surge entonces la siguiente pregunta: ¿Cómo podemos promover el razonamiento crítico en los servicios de salud para fijar prioridades, adoptar decisiones acertadas y poner en práctica iniciativas efectivas? En otras palabras, ¿cómo podemos pasar de la evidencia al desempeño? Una pregunta aún más básica es ¿por qué debemos fijar prioridades?

In this work, quaternary Fe{sub 72-x}M{sub x}Y{sub 6}B{sub 22} (M = Ni, Co and Mo) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have been developed. It is found that a fully amorphous Fe{sub 68}Mo{sub 4}Y{sub 6}B{sub 22} cylindrical rod with 6.5 mm in diameter can be prepared by copper mold injection. These alloys have a high glass transition temperature of about 900 K with high fracture strengths up to about 3 GPa although they are still brittle. Magnetic measurements reveal that they are ferromagnetic at ambient temperature with low coercive force of about 2 A/m, saturation magnetization of about 0.7 T and effective permeability of about 7000 at 100 kHz. The newly developed Fe-based quaternary alloys exhibit excellent combination properties: superior glass forming ability (GFA), high glass transition temperature, and soft magnetic properties, which could have potential applications in electronic industries. Furthermore, the effect of Mo addition on GFA in the Fe-Y-B BMG system has been discussed compared with those of Ni and Co additions.

The electrical transport properties of epitaxial superconducting Bi(2+y)Sr(2-x-y)La(x)CuO(6+delta) thin films have been studied in magnetic fields. Using a modified Coulomb-gas scaling law, we can fit all the magnetic field dependent low resistance data with a universal scaling curve, which allows us to determine a relation between the activation energy of the thermally activated flux flow resistance and the characteristic temperature scaling parameters.

Anxiety and trauma-related disorders are among the most prevalent and disabling medical conditions in the United States, and posttraumatic stress disorder in particular exacts a tremendous public health toll. We examined the tolerability and anxiolytic efficacy of neuropeptide Y administered via an intranasal route in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder. Twenty-six individuals were randomized in a cross-over, single ascending dose study into 1 of 5 cohorts: 1.4 mg (n=3), 2.8 mg (n=6), 4.6 mg (n=5), 6.8 mg (n=6), and 9.6 mg (n=6). Each individual was dosed with neuropeptide Y or placebo on separate treatment days 1 week apart in random order under double-blind conditions. Assessments were conducted at baseline and following a trauma script symptom provocation procedure subsequent to dosing. Occurrence of adverse events represented the primary tolerability outcome. The difference between treatment conditions on anxiety as measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory immediately following the trauma script represented efficacy outcomes. Twenty-four individuals completed both treatment days. Neuropeptide Y was well tolerated up to and including the highest dose. There was a significant interaction between treatment and dose; higher doses of neuropeptide Y were associated with a greater treatment effect, favoring neuropeptide Y over placebo on Beck Anxiety Inventory score (F1,20=4.95, P=.038). There was no significant interaction for State-Trait Anxiety Inventory score. Our study suggests that a single dose of neuropeptide Y is well tolerated up to 9.6 mg and may be associated with anxiolytic effects. Future studies exploring the safety and efficacy of neuropeptide Y in stress-related disorders are warranted.

Spectra of ionized Y, Zr, Nb, and Mo have been observed in sliding-spark and triggered-spark discharges on 10.7-m normal- and grazing-incidence spectrographs at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D. C. From these observations the 4s 2 4p 3 --4s4p 4 transitions in Y VII, Zr VIII, Nb IX, and Mo X have been identified. The 4s 2 4p 3 --4s 2 4p 2 5s transitions in Y VII-Mo X, previously identified by Rahimullah et al. [Phys. Scr. 14, 221--223 (1976); 18, 96--106 (1978)], have been confirmed. In Y VII the 4s 2 4p 3 --4s 2 4p 2 6s and 4s4p 4 --4p 5 transition also have been found. The parameters obtained from least-squares fits to the energy levels are compared with Hartree--Fock calculations. Preliminary values of the ionization energies have been determined as 110.02 +- 0.15 eV for Y VII, 133.7 +- 0.5 eV for Zr VIII, 159.2 +- 0.7 eV for Nb IX, and 186.4 +- 1.2 eV for Mo X

This paper deals with the conditions for the formation of LaCr /SUB 1-y/ Ni /SUB y/ O 3 , La /SUB 1-x/ Ca /SUB x/ CrO 3 , and La /SUB 1-x/ Ca /SUB x/ Cr /SUB 1-y/ Ni /SUB y/ O 3 solid solutions and the electrical parameters of these. The initial materials were lanthanum, calcium, nickel, and chromium nitrates of pure or analytical grade. It is shown that partial replacement of lanthanum by calcium does not have any substantial effect on the electrical parameters of La /SUB 1-x/ Ca /SUB x/ Cr /SUB 1-y/ Ni /SUB y/ O 3 solid solutions for y = 0.2-0.6, but it increases the conductivity of La /SUB 1-x/ Ca /SUB x/ CrO 3 by three orders of magnitude as x varies from 0 to 0.3. The electrical parameters are virtually the same for lanthanum chromites containing calcium and strontium. The solubility of calcium in lanthanum chromite is reduced in the presence of nickel

Highlights: • Rietveld refinement and first-principles calculations are performed for Y{sub 2}MnCrO{sub 6}. • The layered B-site cation ordering is a more reliable structure for Y{sub 2}MnCrO{sub 6}. • Y{sub 2}MnCrO{sub 6} has an insulating ferrimagnetism (0 0 1)-ordered ground state. • The layered ordered pattern plays a key role for the ferrimagnetism in Y{sub 2}MnCrO{sub 6}. - Abstract: We report the Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and first-principles calculations for the half-Cr{sup 3+} doped YMnO{sub 3} compound. The Rietveld refinement results suggest that the compound has a monoclinic structure with the Mn{sup 3+}/Cr{sup 3+} layers alternately stacking along the [0 0 1] direction. The first-principles calculations show that the structure with layered B-site cation ordering has the lowest total energy; meanwhile, the insulating ferrimagnetic state is more favored compared to the ferromagnetic state, which is in agreement with the reported experimental results. Based upon Goodenough’s model of semi-covalent exchange, we argue that the anisotropic magnetic couplings between the Mn{sup 3+}/Cr{sup 3+} cations ordered in layered pattern play an important role for the ferrimagnetism in the compound.

Schneider, A.S.; Clark, B.G.; Frick, C.P.; Gruber, P.A.; Arzt, E.

2009-01-01

Recently, much work has focused on the size effect in face centered cubic (fcc) structures, however few pillar studies have focused on body centered cubic (bcc) metals. This paper explores the role of bcc crystal structure on the size effect, through compression testing of [001] and [235] Molybdenum (Mo) small-scale pillars manufactured by focused ion beam (FIB). The pillar diameters ranged from 200 nm to 5 μm. Results show that the relationship between yield stress and diameter exhibits an inverse relationship (σ y ∝ d -0.22 for [001] Mo and σ y ∝ d -0.34 for [235] Mo) weaker than that observed for face centered cubic (fcc) metals (σ y ∝ d -0.6to-1.0 ). Additional tests at various loading rates revealed that small-scale Mo pillars exhibit a strain rate sensitivity similar to bulk Mo.

Perfiles de involucramiento del consumidor y el instrumento de medición para consumidores mexicanos "IP6"

Full Text Available Este escrito pretende esencialmente dos propósitos. En primer lugar se trata de presentar una visión general sobre el involucramiento del consumidor en el proceso de compra como una línea de investigación dentro de la mercadotecnia y el comportamiento de consumo. Además, se introduce al concepto del involucramiento en un sentido multifacético, al que se ha llamado “perfiles de involucramiento”, dependiente de diferentes factores que afectan a un consumidor cuando está en una situación de elección de compra; de igual forma se presenta una revisión de los diferentes modelos e instrumentos de medición que se han ofrecido para medir el involucramiento en este sentido multivariable. Son propuestas de operacionalización del involucramiento que se han diseñado en otros países y en idiomas distintos al español. El segundo objetivo, y más importante, radica en presentar los resultados sobre el diseño de un instrumento de medición basado en esta visión multifacética del involucramiento y en los inventarios desarrollados anteriormente en otros países; también se intenta ofrecer un instrumento que mida “los perfiles de involucramiento del consumidor en la elección de compra de un producto” en idioma español y aplicable en México. Para esto se diseñan, confiabilizan y validan (al menos de forma inicial una serie de reactivos en consumidores mexicanos que pretenden medir las distintas variables relacionadas con esta concepción del involucramiento. Este enfoque y su instrumento de medición pretende ser nombrado como el “IP6” (modelo de involucramiento de 6 perfiles. Asimismo, se obtienen 6 conjuntos de 3 reactivos cada uno con indicadores aceptables de confiabilidad y validez para medir cada perfil de involucramiento pretendido: “interés hacia el producto”, “placer percibido en su compra”, “valor simbólico que representa”, “importancia del riesgo al elegirlo”, “probabilidad percibida de ese riesgo” e �

Full Text Available Las comidas familiares son un ritual común a muchas culturas pero único en cómo se parametriza en cada una de ellas. Cada una se rige por unas normas no explícitas que todos los comensales, al compartir la misma cultura, conocen. Sin embargo, cuando alguien de una cultura diferente participa en una comida de este tipo, pueden producirse malentendidos y choques culturales fruto del desconocimiento de esas normas. Estas situaciones incómodas pueden solucionarse trabajando la interculturalidad en el aula de E/LE. La actividad que proponemos parte de una reflexión sobre la cultura propia para compararla con la cultura meta, seguida de una divertida simulación en la que nuestros alumnos tendrán que ponerse en la piel de un español. Tiene una duración de unos 120 minutos y está pensada para el nivel B2, aunque es adaptable a cualquier otro nivel.

Structural, magnetic and electronic properties of FexCoyIrz (x + y + z = 5, 6) clusters: an ab initio study

Devi, Assa Aravindh Sasikala

2014-05-01

Investigations on freestanding binary and ternary clusters of Fe (x) Co (y) Ir (z) (x + y + z = 5, 6) are carried out using ab initio density functional theory techniques. The geometry, chemical order, binding energy, magnetic moment and electronic structure of the clusters are analyzed for the entire range of composition. Composition dependent structural transition is observed in the five atom clusters, while octahedral geometry prevailed in clusters with six atoms. Both the clusters show increment in binding energy with the increase in number of heterogeneous bonds. Analysis based on the chemical order parameter indicates that clusters favor mixing rather than segregation. The clusters exhibit ferromagnetic ordering and the inter-dependence of optimal cluster geometry to the magnetic moments and electronic structure is observed.

The widespread interest in (90)Y internal radionuclide treatments has drawn attention to the issue of radiation protection for staff. Our aim in this study was to identify personnel at risk and to validate the protection devices used. (90)Y-MoAb (Zevalin, 15 cases, 1.1 GBq/patient) and (90)Y-peptide ((90)Y-DOTATOC) systemic (i.v., 50 cases, 3.0 GBq/patient) and locoregional (l.r., 50 cases, 0.4 GBq/patient) treatments were considered. Radiolabelling was carried out in a dedicated hot cell. Tele-tongs, shielded (PMMA: polymethylmethacrylate) syringes/vials and an automatic dose fractionating system were used. Operators wore anti-X-ray and anti-contamination gloves, with TLD dosimeters placed over the fingertips. For i.v. administration, activity was administered by a dedicated system; for l.r. administration, during activity infusion in the brain cavity, tongs were used and TLDs were placed over the fingertips. The air kerma-rate was measured around the patients. The use of devices provided a 75% dose reduction, with mean fingertip doses of 2.9 mGy (i.v. MoAbs), 0.6 mGy (i.v. peptides)/radiolabelling procedure and 0.5 mGy/l.r. administration. The mean effective dose to personnel was 5 microSv/patient. The air kerma-rate around the patients administered i.v. (90)Y-peptides were 3.5 (1 h) and 1.0 (48 h) microGy/h at 1 m. Patient hospitalisation of 6 h (l.r.)/48 h (i.v.) guaranteed that the recommended limits of 3 mSv/year to family members and 0.3 mSv/year to the general population (Council Directive 97/43/Euratom) were respected. When specific procedures are adopted, a substantial improvement in (90)Y manipulation is attainable, reducing doses and increasing safety. For the widespread clinical use of (90)Y-conjugates, a completely automatic labelling procedure is desirable.

In a systematic search for an oxygen-stoichiometric phase, Sr 3 (FeMo)O 7 , in a range of iron-to-molybdenum ratios greater than 1:1 that typically give phase mixtures, we have found an n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper phase, Sr 3 Fe 5/4 Mo 3/4 O 6.9 , as supported by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (SPXD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM), and powder neutron diffraction (PND) results. By SPXD, this oxygen-deficient, B-site disordered, two-dimensional analogue of Sr2FeMoO6 adopts tetragonal I4/mmm symmetry (a = b = 3.92449(5) Angstroms; c = 20.3423(3) Angstroms) with vacancies at the O(1) oxygen site and with a composition that refines to a nominal stoichiometry Sr 3 Fe 5/4 Mo 3/4 O 6.9 . The two-phase SPXD refinement includes Sr 3 Fe 5/4 Mo 3/4 O 6.9 (95.7%) and a double-perovskite (DP) intergrowth, Sr 2 FeMoO 6 (4.3%), consistent with HREM studies in which DP intergrowths but no individual DP grains were found. The G-type antiferromagnetically (AFM)-ordered structure of the phase, with the magnetic cell a m = √2a ∼ 5.548 Angstroms, c m = c ∼ 20.35 Angstroms, derived from PND data, displays a saturated moment of 2.17(1) μ B at 9 K and an asynchronous decrease of the in-plane component of the Fe/Mo moment (μ xy ), with respect to the out-of-plane moment (μ z ) upon increasing temperature from 9 K up to the Neel temperature, TN ∼ 150 K. No structural transitions were observed over the entire temperature range studied: from 1.5 to 500 K. The temperature-dependent resistivity is consistent with Efros-Shklovskii variable-range hopping, applicable to two ranges of temperature (189 K RT ∼ 3 μ(Omega)·cm). A small negative magnetoresistance is observed (∼2.5%) at 5 T near the ordering temperature (∼150 K). The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility shows an inflection between 125 and 150 K, consistent with the AFM ordering temperature (∼150 K) observed by PND.

Full Text Available KNaNbOF5 and KNaMO2F4 (M = Mo6+, W6+, three new layered oxide-fluoride perovskites with the general formula ABB’X6, form from the combination of a second-order Jahn-Teller d0 transition metal and an alkali metal (Na+ on the B-site. Alternating layers of cation vacancies and K+ cations on the A-site complete the structure. The K+ cations are found in the A-site layer where the fluoride ions are located. The A-site is vacant in the adjacent A-site layer where the axial oxides are located. This unusual layered arrangement of unoccupied A-sites and under bonded oxygen has not been observed previously although many perovskite-related structures are known.

Systematic structural investigation have been performed on the formation of the ternary Chevrel phase system CuxMo6S8 by topotactic intercalation of copper into Mo6S8 via electron/ion transfer reactions. In high-temperature synthesis the homogeneity range of CuxMo6S8 formation corresponds to 1.8 ≤ x ≤ 3.66, while by galvanostatic or potentiostatic reduction of binary Mo6S8 at ambiet temperature in aqueous CuSO4 or aprotic CuCl/Ch3CN electrolyte the terminal rhombohedral phase Cu4Mo6S8 with the maximum number of electrons per Mo6 cluster can be obtained. The phase range 1 ≤ x ≤ 4 of CuxMo6S8 as obtained by galvanostatic reduction of Mo6S8 in aqueous CuSO4 electrolyte has been determined by in situ X-ray experiments. Warburg oxygen manometry has proved to be a new and powerful analytical tool for examination of the Cu content of ternary phase CuxMo6S8. Thermodiffractometry and 63 Cu NMR studies of Cu2Mo6S8 (high-temperature phase) reveal a phase-transition rhombohedral/triclinic in a broad temperature range between 285 and 200 K. Superconducting properties (temperature-dependent ac susceptibility) of high temperature and electrochemically prepared Cu phases are reported.

Effect of technological parameters of PbMo 6 S 8 on its superconducting and structural properties has been studied. For the first time lattice instability was discovered from X-ray diffraction investigations of PbMo 6 S 8 in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K near 80 K. pleasured were temperature dependences of specific resistance rho(Tsub(c)+-300 K), magnetic susceptibility chi(sub(c)+-300 K) and specific heat Csub(p)(2+-300 K) of the PbMo 6 S 8 system. Combined analysis of experimental results obtained and literature data on inelastic neutron scattering at 4.2 and 300 K permitted for the first time, to calculate quantitatively photon thermal capacity and its anharmonic component, temperature dependence #betta#subH(T) of electron heat capacity coefficient, zonal density of electron states Nsub(BS)(Esub(F)) at the Fermi level and electron-phonon interaction constant lambda(T). It is discovered that rho(T), #betta#sub(H)(T) and lambda(T) dependences behave themselves anomalously near temperatures approximately 80 K where lattice instability takes place and high-field superconductivity in PbMo 6 S 8 results from a large value of Nsub(BS)(Esub(F))

Radiation doses in paediatric computed tomography (CT) were investigated for various types of recent CT scanners with newborn and 6-y-old phantoms in which silicon-photodiode dosemeters were implanted at various organ positions. In the head, chest and abdominal CT for the newborn phantom, doses for organs within the scan region were 21-40, 3-8 and 3-12 mGy, respectively. The corresponding doses for the child phantom were 20-37, 2-11 and 4-17 mGy, respectively. In the head, chest and abdominal CT, the effective doses were respectively 2.1-3.3, 2.0-6.0 and 2.2-10.0 mSv for the newborn, and 1.0-2.0, 1.2-6.6 and 2.9-11.8 mSv for the child. Radiation doses for the newborn were at the same levels as those for the child, excepting effective doses in head CT for the newborn, which were 1.8 times higher than those for the child. (authors)

Structural phase transitions in BaMo6S8: Evidence for an incommensurate phase

The structure of BaMo 6 S 8 has been studied over the temperature range 19 K to 573 K by time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction. Below 175 K the data can be suitably refined in a triclinic, P1, cell with volume equal to the rhombohedral, R3, cell common to most Chevrel-phase structures. At temperatures immediately above 175 K, the rhombohedral, R3, Bragg peaks are broadened by satellite reflections which appear to be identical to those recently observed at low temperature in PbMo 6 S 8 and SnMo 6 S 8 . An abrupt change in the sign of the temperature dependence of the hexagonal c axis (∂c/∂T) signals the transition to an undistorted rhombohedral, R3, structure at temperatures above about 350 K. An extended Landau theory determines both continuous and discontinuous transitions from R3 induced by a single order parameter. Analysis of the order parameters inducing commensurate transitions imposes symmetry restrictions on the atomic displacements in the lower symmetry phases. The assumption of an R3 commensurate phase is not consistent with the bond lengths obtained for the distortions to the P1 (or P1) phase for any of the possible cells preserving order parameters. Thus the phase immediately above 175 K cannot be a commensurate R3 structure. This is consistent with experimental evidence. 25 refs., 11 figs., 8 tabs

The expression of the high risk HPV18 E6 and E7 oncogenic proteins induces the transformation of epithelial cells, through the disruption of p53 and Rb function. The binding of cellular transcription factors to cis-regulatory elements in the viral Upstream Regulatory Region (URR) stimulates E6/E7 transcription. Here, we demonstrate that the CCAAT-transcription factor NF-Y binds to a non-canonical motif within the URR and activates viral gene expression. In addition, NF-Y indirectly up-regulat...

Double perovskites (DP) of the general formula Ba 2 MReO 6 , where M = Mg, Zn, and Y 2/3 , all based on Re 6+ (5d 1 , t 2g 1 ), were synthesized and studied using magnetization, heat capacity, muon spin relaxation, and neutron-scattering techniques. All are cubic, Fm3̅m, at ambient temperature to within the resolution of the X-ray and neutron diffraction data, although the muon data suggest the possibility of a local distortion for M = Mg. The M = Mg DP is a ferromagnet, T c = 18 K, with a saturation moment ∼0.3 bohr magnetons at 3 K. There are two anomalies in the heat capacity: a sharp feature at 18 K and a broad maximum centered near 33 K. The total entropy loss below 45 K is 9.68 e.u., which approaches R ln 4 (11.52 e.u.) supporting a j = 3/2 ground state. The unit cell constants of Ba 2 MgReO 6 and the isostructural, isoelectronic analogue, Ba 2 LiOsO 6 , differ by only 0.1%, yet the latter is an anti-ferromagnet. The M = Zn DP also appears to be a ferromagnet, T c = 11 K, μ sat (Re) = 0.1 μ B . In this case the heat capacity shows a somewhat broad peak near 10 K and a broader maximum at ∼33 K, behavior that can be traced to a smaller particle size, ∼30 nm, for this sample. For both M = Mg and Zn, the low-temperature magnetic heat capacity follows a T 3/2 behavior, consistent with a ferromagnetic spin wave. An attempt to attribute the broad 33 K heat capacity anomalies to a splitting of the j = 3/2 state by a crystal distortion is not supported by inelastic neutron scattering, which shows no transition at the expected energy of ∼7 meV nor any transition up to 100 meV. However, the results for the two ferromagnets are compared to the theory of Chen, Pereira, and Balents, and the computed heat capacity predicts the two maxima observed experimentally. The M = Y 2/3 DP, with a significantly larger cell constant (3%) than the ferromagnets, shows predominantly anti-ferromagnetic correlations, and the ground state is complex with a spin frozen component T

Full Text Available Introducción: el trauma dentoalveolar corresponde a una lesión traumática de alta prevalencia, elevado costo de tratamiento y efectos negativos a nivel funcional, estético y psicológico. Existen factores predisponentes de traumatismo dentoalveolar que coinciden con ciertas características de niños respiradores orales, sin embargo, el rol de la respiración oral como factor predisponente no está claramente determinado. Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre respiración oral y trauma dentoalveolar controlando por otras covariables en niños de 6 a 14 años. Métodos: se aplicó un estudio de casos y controles 1:2. La muestra quedó constituida por 57 casos y 113 controles asumiendo un nivel de confianza del 95 %, una potencia del 80 % y un 10 % de pérdidas. Los casos correspondieron a niños de 6 a 14 años de edad ingresados por TDA a la Unidad de Odontopediatría del Hospital "Dr. Sótero del Río", centro de referencia que atiende a una población de 1 521 144 habitantes de la capital. Los controles correspondieron a niños voluntarios sin TDA del mismo centro asistencial y grupo etario. Los datos fueron recolectados a partir de una entrevista, además de la medición clínica y observación directa para determinar el modo respiratorio. Para diferencias entre grupos se aplicó prueba de Fisher y Mann Whitney. La asociación entre respiración oral y trauma dentoalveolar se evaluó a partir de un modelo logístico considerando sexo, resalte y edad. Resultados: la prevalencia de niños respiradores orales fue mayor en los casos con un 47,4 % (p 0,05 como para ninguna de las covariables del modelo. Conclusiones: respirar a través de la cavidad oral no constituiría un aumento del riesgo de sufrir un trauma dentoalveolar durante un golpe o caída en los niños estudiados.

In this study, TiN reinforced composite coatings were fabricated on Ti–6Al–4V substrate by laser cladding with Co42 self-fluxing alloy, TiN and Y_2O_3 mixed powders. Microstructures and wear resistance of the cladding coatings with and without Y_2O_3 addition were investigated comparatively. Results showed that the coatings were mainly comprised of γ-Co/Ni, TiN, CoTi, CoTi_2, NiTi, TiC, Cr_7C_3, TiB, Ti_5Si_3 and TiC_0_._3N_0_._7 phases. The coatings showed metallurgical bonding free of pores and cracks with the substrate. Compared with the Ti–6Al–4V substrate, the microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings was enhanced by 3–4 times and 9.5–11.9 times, respectively. With 1.0 wt.% Y_2O_3 addition, the microstructure of the coating was refined significantly, and the microhardness and dry sliding wear resistance were enhanced further. The effects of Y_2O_3 were attributed to the residual Y_2O_3 and decomposed Y atoms. - Graphical abstract: The diagram illustration for the action mechanism of Y_2O_3: (a) dissolution of Y_2O_3 and TiN, (b) re-formation of TiN and in situ formation of TiC, (c) growth of TiN, TiC and the distribution of Y atoms. - Highlights: • Coatings showing metallurgical bonding with the substrate were fabricated. • The effect of Y_2O_3 on the refinement of the microstructure is notable. • A kind of Y_2O_3 centered core–shell structure was picked out in the coating. • Microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings was enhanced significantly.

Tools and drugs for uracil nucleotide-activated P2Y receptors.

Rafehi, Muhammad; Müller, Christa E

P2Y receptors (P2YRs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors activated by extracellular nucleotides. Physiological P2YR agonists include purine and pyrimidine nucleoside di- and triphosphates, such as ATP, ADP, UTP, UDP, nucleotide sugars, and dinucleotides. Eight subtypes exist, P2Y 1 , P2Y 2 , P2Y 4 , P2Y 6 , P2Y 11 , P2Y 12 , P2Y 13 , and P2Y 14 , which represent current or potential future drug targets. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of ligands for the subgroup of the P2YR family that is activated by uracil nucleotides: P2Y 2 (UTP, also ATP and dinucleotides), P2Y 4 (UTP), P2Y 6 (UDP), and P2Y 14 (UDP, UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose). The physiological agonists are metabolically unstable due to their fast hydrolysis by ectonucleotidases. A number of agonists with increased potency, subtype-selectivity and/or enzymatic stability have been developed in recent years. Useful P2Y 2 R agonists include MRS2698 (6-01, highly selective) and PSB-1114 (6-05, increased metabolic stability). A potent and selective P2Y 2 R antagonist is AR-C118925 (10-01). For studies of the P2Y 4 R, MRS4062 (3-15) may be used as a selective agonist, while PSB-16133 (10-06) represents a selective antagonist. Several potent P2Y 6 R agonists have been developed including 5-methoxyuridine 5'-O-((R p )α-boranodiphosphate) (6-12), PSB-0474 (3-11), and MRS2693 (3-26). The isocyanate MRS2578 (10-08) is used as a selective P2Y 6 R antagonist, although its reactivity and low water-solubility are limiting. With MRS2905 (6-08), a potent and metabolically stable P2Y 14 R agonist is available, while PPTN (10-14) represents a potent and selective P2Y 14 R antagonist. The radioligand [ 3 H]UDP can be used to label P2Y 14 Rs. In addition, several fluorescent probes have been developed. Uracil nucleotide-activated P2YRs show great potential as drug targets, especially in inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Copyright © 2018.

Phase evolution within the solid solution Bi 2- x La x MoO 6 has been re-examined, and a crossover from γ(H)-Bi 2 MoO 6 type to γ-R 2 MoO 6 type is observed at x∼1.2. A preliminary X-ray Rietveld refinement of the line phase BiNdMoO 6 has confirmed the α-R 2 MoO 6 type structure, with a possible partial ordering of Bi/Nd over the three crystallographically distinct R sites. - Graphical abstract: A summary of phase relations in the lanthanide-doped bismuth tungstate and bismuth molybdate systems is presented, together with some additional structural data on several of these phases

Ternary phases with composition T2M21X6 and T3M20X6 (T = transition metal; M = 3 d metal; X = B, C, P) are reported to crystallize with the W2Cr21C6-type and Mg3Ni20B6-type, respectively (ternary ordered derivatives of the cubic Cr23C6-type, cF116). They attract interest due to their refractory, mechanical, and peculiar magnetic properties. Literature data on these compounds only concern apparently stoichiometric 2:21:6 and 3:20:6 phases. Often only nominal composition has been reported, with few structural refinements and no measurements of physical properties. Lack of detailed stoichiometry and crystallographic data does not allow sufficient understanding of the crystal chemistry and properties of these compounds. We studied stability, crystal structure and magnetism of (U1-xNbx)2 Ni21B6 and (UyNb1-y)3Ni20B6; stable phases are U2Ni21B6 and Nb3Ni20B6, as also confirmed by theoretical calculations. The two pristine compounds solubilize Nb and U, respectively, up to a given extent. The substitution of U by Nb leads to a structural change from the W2Cr21C6- to the Mg3Ni20B6-type. While U2Ni21B6 is a Pauli paramagnet (itinerant non-magnetic state of U-5 f electrons), in agreement with literature, magnetization data for (UyNb1-y)3 Ni20B6 show itinerant ferromagnetism with TC >300 K.

Full Text Available In the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the α phase is gradually transformed into the β phase until β-transus temperature (≈ 1000 ºC is reached, and the transformation completed. It is important to identify transformation kinetics (mainly in other titanium alloy types, as near α to accomplish solution heat treatments in which a phase α percentage (primary α remains unchanged. In this paper, kinetics and other transformation characteristics are evaluated, as well as their influence on subsequent cooling transformations, by differential and dilatometric thermal analysis, electric conductivity measurements, hardness measurements and metallographic observation, after performing controlled thermal treatments. Starting from the mill annealed condition, samples were heated at temperatures between 650-1000 ºC for 1 hour, then water quenched and subsequently heated at 530 ºC for 6 hours, air cooled. Finally, the mechanical properties of samples heat treated as indicated above were obtained.

Se abordan principalmente las bases ideológicas de la higiene racial, propuestas desde la medicina y la psiquiatría franquista, analizando su vinculación con el concepto de hispanidad. Se muestra cómo la eugenesia franquista tuvo una vertiente punitiva y coercitiva y cómo participó en la represión descarnada hacia el enemigo político, construyendo su identidad como anti español. También se estudia cómo la Iglesia Católica aceptó la eugenesia siempre que no estuviese vinculada al neomaltusianismo ni propugnase la esterilización, los métodos contraceptivos y el aborto. En este sentido, se analiza su posición respecto al certificado y al consejo prematrimonial.

Micro-sized NaY(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Tb{sup 3+} phosphors with dendritic morphology was synthesized by a ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the as-prepared product is pure tetragonal phase of NaY(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images showed that the as-prepared NaY(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Tb{sup 3+} phosphors have dendritic morphology. The photoluminescent (PL) spectra displayed that the as-prepared NaY(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Tb{sup 3+} phosphors show a stronger green emission with main emission wavelength 545 nm corresponding to the {sup 5}D{sub 4}{yields}{sup 7}F{sub 5} transition of Tb{sup 3+} ion, and the optimal Tb{sup 3+} doping concentration for obtaining maximum emission intensity was confirmed to be 10 mol%. Based on Van Uitert's and Dexter's models the electric dipole-dipole (D-D) interaction was confirmed to be responsible for the concentration quenching of {sup 5}D{sub 4} fluorescence of Tb{sup 3+} in the NaY(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2}:Tb{sup 3+} phosphors. The intrinsic radiative transition lifetime of {sup 5}D{sub 4} level is found to be 0.703 ms.

Chevrel-phase solid solution Mo 6Se 8- xTe x. Study of its superconducting, magnetic and NMR properties

The Chevrel-phase solid solution Mo 6Se 8-Mo 6Te 8 was studied by X-ray diffraction, AC and DC magnetic susceptibility and 77Se and 125Te NMR spectroscopy. From the smooth evolution of the lattice parameters and superconducting critical temperatures, a progressive substitution of selenium atoms by tellurium is shown, on the whole range of composition 0⩽ x⩽8, in the formulation Mo 6Se 8- xTe x: the unit-cell volume increases linearly because of the larger ionic size of tellurium, while Tc decreases rapidly (from 6.45 down to 0 K) because of the different formal oxidation states of the anions and a probable evolution of the Fermi level in the density of states. Results of magnetic susceptibility support this model and suggest the inhibition of the intrinsic metallic behavior with increasing x. The NMR spectra of the binaries Mo 6Se 8 and Mo 6Te 8 reveal two significant features, attributed to two different chalcogen positions in the R 3¯ symmetry. At low Se contents in Mo 6Se 8- xTe x ( x=7.5, 7 and 6), selenium first fills the two X(2) sites along the three-fold axis (2c positions), and then it becomes statistically distributed over the general 6f positions, leading to broad 77Se NMR lines. On the other hand, substitution of Te atoms in Mo 6Se 8 seems to occur in a random way, creating large perturbations on the 125Te NMR spectra, over the whole range of x. Theoretical analysis based on the presence of two anisotropic lines (of axial and non-axial symmetries, respectively) allowed us to estimate their anisotropy factors and to perfectly simulate the frequency response of both Mo 6Se 8 and Mo 6Te 8 binaries. Analysis of the Knight shift anisotropy leads us to conclude about the importance of the molybdenum z 2 molecular orbital contribution which controls the Mo-X dipolar interactions.

The electrical conductivity of γ'-Bi 2 MoO 6 was surveyed between 450 and 750 deg. C as a function of oxygen partial pressure, in the range 0.01-1 atm. A -1/6 power law dependence, consistent with a Frenkel defect model of doubly ionized oxygen vacancies and interstitials, is evidence for an n-type semiconductive component, with an optical band gap of 2.9 eV. The absence of this dependence is used to map the onset of dominant ionic conduction. - Graphical abstract: Temporal dependence of electrical conductivity at 500 deg.

The present volume 'Rare Earth Elements' A 6a describes origin, mode of occurrence, and behavior of Y and RE elements in the sedimentary and metamorphic cycles, and completes the series of volumes describing cosmo- and geochemistry of these elements. In the chapter 'Sedimentary Cycle', the behavior of Y and RE during the weathering process is first outlined under both marine and terrestrial conditions, including a short compilation for migration and precipitation in surficial weathering and oxidation zones. The main part of the chapter treats, in addition to the mode of occurrence, predominantly the distribution of Y and RE in the different types of sedimentary rocks in relation to genetic processes (comprising physical and/or spatial factors such as geological age of the deposition). A concluding part gives a description of mobilization, migration, and precipitation of Y and RE during the diagenetic transformation of sediments, especially in relation to the various types of ferromanganese concretions. In the chapter 'Metamorphic Cycle', the first, extensive part gives examples of mode of occurrence and behavior of Y and RE during both the contact-metamorphic and prograde and retrograde regional-metamorphic processes affecting sedimentary and igeneous source rocks. The second part briefly describes behaviour of Y and RE during ultrametamorphism of metamorphic rocks, and during metamorphic processes in connection with special types of geologic events (as, e.g., subduction of crustal material into the earth's mantle and impact of extraterrestrial material).

The structure of a series of new ionic conductors based in lanthanum molybdate (La 2 Mo 2 O 9 ) has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The superstructure 2a c x3a c x4a c of the low temperature α-polymorph relative to the β-polymorph was confirmed by HRTEM imaging and electron diffraction. Furthermore, the effects of partial cation substitution in the La 2-x Nd x Mo 2 O 9 and La 2 Mo 2-y W y O 9 series have been also evaluated in the search of new clues to understand the structure and stabilisation of the high temperature and better conductor β-polymorph. The thermal analysis studies show that Nd-substitution does not stabilise completely the β-polymorph at room temperature, although no superstructure ordering was observed by both XRD and HRTEM. On the other hand, W-substitution stabilises the cubic β-polymorph for y>0.25, although, electron diffraction indicates a slight distortion from the cubic symmetry for low W-content. This distortion disappears as the W content increases and the Rietveld refinements gradually render better results

6-Mercaptopurine (6MP) metabolism was quantitatively determined in L5178Y murine lymphoma. Cells grown in time-course incubates with [35S]-6MP were extracted with cold perchloric acid, and the buffered extracts were subjected to high-performance liquid cation-exchange chromatography prior to and after hydrolysis with alkaline phosphatase. Free sulfate, 6-thiouric acid, 6-thioxanthosine, 6-thioguanosine, 6-thioinosine, free 6MP, and 6-methylthioinosine were separated from each other; identified in the radiochromatograms by elution volume, UV spectroscopic data, and enzymatic peak-shifting analyses with purine nucleoside phosphorylase; and quantitatively determined by means of 35S radioactivity. Gross intracellular 35S concentrations remained constant at 5 x 10(-5) M after 1 hr of incubation. 6MP metabolism in L5178Y cells was distinguished into an early phase (to 1 hr of incubation) in which 6MP was predominantly catabolized to 6-thiouric acid and free sulfate, into an intermediate phase (to 8 hr) in which substantial amounts of free 6MP and of ribonucleotides of 6-thioxanthosine and 6-thioguanosine were present while the concentrations of nonnucleotide oxidation products sharply decreased, and into a late phase (to 24 hr) in which the ribonucleotides of 6MP, of 6-thioguanosine and, in particular, of 6-methylthioinosine were the most abundant metabolites.

De cómo vender sexo y no morir en el intento. Fronteras encarnadas y tácticas de quienes trabajan en el mercado sexual

2011-08-01

Full Text Available El cruce entre sexo y dinero se ha construido históricamente como un punto conflictivo. La intersección entre prácticas sexuales y esfera laboral/comercial pública, atravesada por relaciones de clase y de género, moldea al estigma que marca a quienes realizan sexo comercial. Frente a esto resulta importante comprender cómo esta especificidad del mercado sexual propicia el desarrollo de tácticas y límites simbólicos encarnados que van más allá de una lógica economicista. El artículo, basado en entrevistas en profundidad con mujeres y travestis dedicadas al trabajo sexual, analiza el papel desempeñado por determinadas prácticas restringidas en el intercambio sexual con los “clientes” y las condiciones −económicas, culturales y laborales− bajo las que se consolidan o se perturban los márgenes de tales limitaciones y algunas consecuencias “micropolíticas” de las mismas.

Okada, Naotada; Katsumura, Yosuke; Ishigure, Kenkichi

1995-01-01

The corrosion resistance of carbon steel has been improved by the deposition from the mixture of Mo(CO) 6 and Cr(CO) 6 as well as from each carbonyl alone with an ArF-excimer (193nm). The corrosion resistance evaluated by multi sweep cyclic voltammetry attained by coating with the films from the mixture is higher than from Mo(CO) 6 alone, while lower than from Cr(CO) 6 alone. While the corrosion resistance increases with beam intensity monotonically over the range 4-25 MWcm -2 for the deposition from Mo(CO) 6 alone, it tends to decrease slightly above 15 MWcm -2 for the deposition from Mo(CO) 6 alone and from the mixture. SEM photographs show that the films from each carbonyl and their mixture consist of small grains that are more densely packed at higher beam intensities. The comparison of the film thickness evaluated from sputtering time to remove the films with that from direct observation with SEM suggests that the density of the film increases with beam intensity. In the films deposited from the mixture, molybdenum is preferentially incorporated from the gas phase. In addition, a model of gas-phase processes including photolysis of Cr(CO) 6 , transportation of photofragments to the substrate surface, and elimination of photofragments through chemical reactions during transportation, is proposed and simulated. Applications of the model will be discussed. (author)

Radiation decomposition yields of Mo(CO)/sub 6/ in methanol solutions saturated with argon, N/sub 2/O and in alkaline solutions saturated with argon were measured. The results indicate the interaction of Mo(CO)/sub 6/ with esub(s)sup(-) and CH/sub 2/O/sup -/. The rate constants for these reactions were calculated to be 1.65x10/sup 9/ l x mol/sup -1/ x s/sup -1/ and 2.76x10/sup 7/ l x mol/sup -1/ x s/sup -1/, respectively. On the basis of the spectrophotometrical measurements in the UV-VIS and IR ranges, the stable products of radiolysis were determined.

Introduction: An approach to radioimmunotherapy (RIT) of metastatic melanoma is the targeting of melanin pigment with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to melanin radiolabeled with therapeutic radionuclides. The proof of principle experiments were performed using a melanin-binding antibody 6D2 of IgM isotype radiolabeled with a β emitter 188 Re and demonstrated the inhibition of tumor growth. In this study we investigated the efficacy of 6D2 antibody radiolabeled with two other longer lived β emitters 90 Y and 166 Ho in treatment of experimental melanoma, with the objective to find a possible correlation between the efficacy and half-life of the radioisotopes which possess high energy β (E max > 1.5 MeV) emission properties. Methods: 6D2 was radiolabeled with longer lived β emitters 90 Y and 166 Ho in treatment of experimental melanoma in A2058 melanoma tumor-bearing nude mice. The immunoreactivity of the radiolabeled 6D2 mAb, its in vitro binding to the MNT1 human melanoma cells, the biodistribution and therapy in A2058 human melanoma bearing nude mice as well as dosimetry calculations were performed. Results: When labeled with the longer lived 90 Y radionuclide, the 6D2 mAb did not produce any therapeutic effect in tumor bearing mice while the reduction of the tumor growth by 166 Ho-6D2 was very similar to the previously reported therapy results for 188 Re-6D2. In addition, 166 Ho-labeled mAb produced the therapeutic effect on the tumor without any toxic effects while the administration of the 90 Y-labeled radioconjugate was toxic to mice with no appreciable anti-tumor effect. Conclusions: 166 Ho-labeled mAb to melanin produced some therapeutic effect on the tumor without any toxic effects while the administration of the 90 Y-labeled radioconjugate was toxic to mice with no appreciable anti-tumor effect. We concluded that the serum half-life of the 6D2 carrier antibody matched well the physical half-life of 166 Ho to deliver the tumoricidal absorbed dose to the

Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have proven to be very useful in investigating sexual assault cases and in paternity lineage differentiation. However, currently available commercial Y-STR multiplex amplification systems bear the limitations in the identification of related males from the same paternal lineage due to there being an insufficient number of loci in any single amplification kit. The aim of this study was to establish and validate a novel 6-dye, 36-plex Y-STR multiplex amplification system that incorporated all of the loci present in the Yfiler™ Plus kit (DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYF387S1, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS449, DYS456, DYS458, DYS460, DYS481, DYS518, DYS533, DYS570, DYS576, DYS627, DYS635, Y_GATA_H4) as well as a further nine highly polymorphic Y-STR loci (DYS388, DYS444, DYS447, DYS522, DYS527a/b, DYS549, DYS596, DYS643). The novel system was optimized and validated by a series of studies that tested the effect of different PCR-based conditions as well as the species specificity, sensitivity, stability, stutter precision, suitability for use on DNA mixtures, reproducibility, and parallel testing of the system, as well as its performance on casework samples and population analysis, according to the SWGDAM developmental validation guidelines. A total of 246 haplotypes were found for the 36 Y-STRs among 247 Guangdong Han unrelated males. Collectively, the results demonstrate that the developed 36-plex Y-STR system is sensitive, robust, reliable, and highly informative for use in forensic genetics.

La muestra la conformaron 75 mujeres entre los días 11 y 40 de postparto. La información se recolectó utilizando el cuestionario " Prácticas de cuidado que realizan consigo mismas las mujeres en el posparto" , versión 21 de mayo de 2004, que comprende 6 categorías: alimentación, higiene, actividad y ejercicio, hábitos no beneficiosos, uso de medicamentos y sistemas de apoyo (1. Para el análisis, las respuestas de contenido abierto se agruparon por homogeneidad estableciendo categorías y presentación de datos en tablas con frecuencias de aparición; para las preguntas cerradas se elaboraron tablas y gráficas con distribución porcentual. Entre los resultados se encontró que las edades de las participantes estuvieron comprendidas entre 14 y 20 años, la mayoría primíparas y con estado civil unión libre, grado de escolaridad secundaria incompleta y nivel socioeconómico bajo. Las prácticas de cuidado en estas puérperas reportaron que aún están orientadas por la familia, especialmente por las mujeres: madres, abuelas y suegras; sobresalen: el uso de algodones en los oídos, pañoleta en la cabeza y no exponerse a fenómenos naturales como el sereno, el sol y la lluvia, para evitar " dolor de cabeza" , y la reducción de la actividad física para que no se " caiga la matriz" . Se observó cómo las recomendaciones brindadas por enfermería, ganan terreno, y son practicadas por las madres al interior de sus familias.

Microstructures of as-cast 28 wt.% Cr–2.6 wt.% C irons containing (0–10) wt.% Mo with the Cr/C ratio of about 10 were studied and related to hardness. The experimental irons were cast into dry sand molds. Microstructural investigation was performed by light microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. It was found that the iron with about 10 wt.% Mo was eutectic/peritectic, whereas the others with less Mo content were hypoeutectic. The matrix in all irons was austenite, partly transformed to martensite during cooling. Mo addition promoted the formation of M{sub 23}C{sub 6} and M{sub 6}C. At 1 wt.% Mo, multiple eutectic carbides including M{sub 7}C{sub 3}, M{sub 23}C{sub 6} and M{sub 6}C were observed. M{sub 23}C{sub 6} existed as a transition zone between eutectic M{sub 7}C{sub 3} and M{sub 6}C, indicating a carbide transition as M{sub 7}C{sub 3}(M{sub 2.3}C) → M{sub 23}C{sub 6}(M{sub 3.8}C) → M{sub 6}C. At 6 wt.% Mo, multiple eutectic carbides including M{sub 7}C{sub 3} and M{sub 23}C{sub 6} were observed together with fine cellular/lamellar M{sub 6}C aggregates. In the iron with 10 wt.% Mo, only eutectic/peritectic M{sub 23}C{sub 6} and M{sub 6}C were found without M{sub 7}C{sub 3}. Mo distribution to all carbides has been determined to be increased from ca. 0.4 to 0.7 in mass fraction as the Mo content in the irons was increased. On the other hand, Cr distribution to all carbides is quite constant as ca. 0.6 in mass fraction. Mo addition increased Vickers macro-hardness of the irons from 495 up to 674 HV{sub 30}. High Mo content as solid-solution in the matrix and the formation of M{sub 6}C or M{sub 23}C{sub 6} aggregates were the main reasons for hardness increase, indicating potentially improved wear performance of the irons with Mo addition. - Highlights: • Mo promoted the formation of M{sub 23}C{sub 6} and M{sub 6}C in the irons with Cr/C ratio of about 10

Electrical conductivity of Sr{sub 2-x}VMoO{sub 6-y} (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2) double perovskites has been investigated in a reducing atmosphere at temperatures up to 800 °C. This material has a key application in solid oxide fuel cell anodes as a mixed ion and electron conductor. A solid state synthesis technique was used to fabricate materials and crystal structure was verified through x-ray diffraction. Subsequent to conventional sintering in a reducing environment, elemental valence states were indentified through x-ray photoemission spectroscopy on the double perovskite material before and after annealing in a hydrogen environment. Samples exhibited metallic like conduction with electrical conductivities of 1250 S/cm (Sr{sub 2}VMoO{sub 6-y′}), 2530 S/cm (Sr{sub 1.8}VMoO{sub 6-y″}), and 3610 S/cm (Sr{sub 1.9}VMoO{sub 6-y‴}) at 800 °C in 5% H{sub 2}/95% N{sub 2}, with a substantial increase in conductivity upon cooling to room temperature. Room temperature electrical conductivity values for Sr{sub 1.9}VMoO{sub 6-y‴} make it a candidate as the highest electrically conductive oxide known. Highly insulating secondary surface phases, Sr{sub 3}V{sub 2}O{sub 8}, and SrMoO{sub 4}, begin to reduce at 400 °C in a hydrogen environment, as confirmed by X-ray photoemission and thermal gravimetric analysis. This reduction, from V{sup 5+} and Mo{sup 6+} to lower valence states, leads to a large increase in sample electrical conductivity.

We report synthesis and characterization of the structural, morphologic and ferroelectric behavior of the complex perovskite Ba 2 TiMoO 6 . Samples of Ba 2 TiMoO 6 were synthesized through standard solid state reaction methods. Crystalline structure was studied by means of X-ray diffraction experiments and Rietveld-like analysis. Results reveal that material crystallizes in a tetragonal structure, space group P4/mnm (no. 123), with cell parameters a=3.8557 Å and c=11.8678 Å. The tolerance factor of perovskite was determined to be 1.04. Surface morphology was examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy, which shows the micrometric granular character of samples with 1.0-5.0 μm mean grain size. Ferroelectric response of material was established from curves of polarization as a function of applied electric field. Our results reveal that Ba 2 TiMoO 6 double perovskite evidences a ferroelectric hysteretic behavior at ambient temperature and paramagnetic ordering. © 2011 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved.

The phase diagram of the Y-Cu-Al system at 820 K has been constructed using X-ray powder diffraction. The existence of earlier known ternary aluminides has been confirmed and their homogeneity regions and atomic distributions in the structures have been determined: YCu 4.6-4.0 Al 7.4-8.0 (ThMn 12 -type R I =0.049), Y 2 Cu 12.0-10.5 Al 5.0-6.5 (Th 2 Zn 17 -type R I =0.092), YCu 1.0-1.1 Al 1.0-0.9 (Fe 2 P-type R I =0.068). It has been shown that the structure of Y(Cu,Al) 3 is characterized by an ordered distribution of the Cu and Al atoms and it should be referred as Ca 3 Cu 2 Al 7 structure type (R I =0.060) besides the PuNi 3 structure type with statistical occupancies of the smaller atoms. At the investigated temperature the compound YCu 1.0-0.25 Al 3.0-3.75 (BaAl 4 -type) was not observed. However, we found the ternary aluminide with composition Y 3 Cu 2.7-2.0 Al 8.3-9.0 and related La 3 Al 11 -type (space group Immm, a=0.4192-0.4228, b=1.2423-1.2557, c=0.9812-0.9895 nm, R I =0.069). The compounds YCu 6.8 Al 4.2 (space group Fddd, Tb(Cu 0.58 Al 0.42 ) 11 -type, a=1.42755, b=1.48587, c=0.65654 nm, R I =0.062) and YCu 6.5 Al 4.5 (space group I4 1 /amd, BaCd 11 -type, a=1.02774, c=0.65838 nm, R I =0.071) have been found and structurally refined for the first time

Highlights: •Mo-doped nickel clusters are energetically more stable than the Sc and Y-doped clusters (n ⩾ 10). •Mo atom exhibits center at the cluster rather than edge, while Sc and Y atom sit at the edge. •The metallic s, d orbitals are mainly dominated on the stability of nanoclusters. •The oxygen and OH adsorption energy of Mo-doped cluster are higher than those of other nanoclusters. •2p Orbitals are strongly bonds with Mo 4d, and a weakly interacts with Ni 3d, 4s and Mo 5s orbitals. -- Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) has been used to study the stability, orbitals interactions and oxygen and hydroxyl chemisorption properties of Ni n M (1 ⩽ n ⩽ 12) clusters. A single atom doped-nickel clusters increase the stability, and icosahedral Ni 12 Mo cluster is the most stable structure. Molybdenum atom prefers to exhibit center at the cluster (n ⩾ 10) rather than edge, while Sc and Y atom remain at the edge. The Ni–Mo bond lengths are smaller than the Ni–Sc and Ni–Y. The pDOS results show that the d–d orbitals interactions are mainly dominating on the stability of clusters, while p orbitals have a small effect on the stability. The Mo-doped nanoclusters have the highest oxygen and OH chemisorption energy, and the most favorable adsorption site is on the top Mo site. The larger cluster distortion is found for the Sc- and Y-doped structures compared to other clusters. The oxygen 2p orbitals are strongly hybridizing with the Mo 4d orbitals (n < 9) and a little interaction between oxygen 2p and Ni 3d, 4s and Mo 5s orbitals. The Mo-doped clusters are significantly increased the chemisorption energies that might improve the passive film adherence of nanoalloys

Crystal structures of NaV 6 O 11 at several temperatures were studied by either Rietveld analyses of both neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data, or an analysis of X-ray single crystal diffraction data. At 200 K, NaV 6 O 11 loses the center of symmetry, and its space group changes from P6 3 /mmc to P6 3 mc. Consequently, V(2) splits into two sites. At 30 K, NaV 6 O 11 was transformed from the hexagonal form to the orthorhombic one (Cmc2 1 ), and V(1) splits into two sites. These results indicate that magnetic phase transitions of NaV 6 O 11 at 245 K and 64.2 K are accompanied by structural phase transitions. On the other hand, no structural phase transition was detected in SrV 6 O 11 . (author)

Full Text Available La prueba testifical de menores de corta edad es, en muchos casos, la principal y única prueba indiciaria en los procesos penales. La memoria y el lenguaje son dos de los principales componentes en la declaración del menor que requieren un especial análisis, no sólo por el importante papel que juegan, sino también por la relación existente entre ambas capacidades. La vulnerabilidad de la memoria y su posibilidad de ser alterada mediante sugerencias, así como la variabilidad del desarrollo del lenguaje en el menor de 3 a 6 años edad, son dos factores de influencia en la recogida del testimonio. Estos factores, junto con la pericia del entrevistador en la adaptación de la entrevista al menor al que va dirigida podrán conseguir una recogida de información fiable y libre de subjetividades que facilitarán la investigación de los hechos denunciados. El presente artículo presenta una visión conjunta de ambas capacidades desde la perspectiva del testimonio infantil en el proceso penal.

Powellite is a Ca-molybdate ceramic, which forms in nuclear glasses. It may contain an actinide or a lanthanide in its structure, insuring a double containment of radioactivity. This study deals with the synthesis and characterization of powellites, with the general formula: Ca 1-x-y Na x REE y MoO 4 , 0.01≤y≤0.08, x+y≤ 0.20, with REE = Er, Yb and Y. The minerals are synthesized in two heating stages: a calcination at 800 C followed by a sintering at 1150 C. The materials final densities were all similar to the standard value of natural powellite (≅4250 kg/m 3 ), and do not vary significantly with the nature and amount of the lanthanide dopant. The materials microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy analysis, and the phase identification was performed by X-ray diffraction analysis. All powellites have a I41/a CaMoO 4 tetragonal structure. The variation of the lattice parameters and molar volumes as a function of the materials composition, calculated using CELREF software, show that they decrease from Yb to Er to Y, and quietly vary with the amount of dopant in the powellites; the materials crystallographic structure remaining preserved.

Full Text Available A magnetothermopower has been observed in electronically spin-polarized polycrystalline Sr2-xLaxFeMoO6 and Ba2FeMoO6. The magnetothermopower is linear up to ~50 K for Sr2-xLaxFeMoO6 and linear up to ~270 K for Ba2FeMoO6. We suggest that the magnetothermopower may arise from a spin-tunneling magnetothermopower between the grains.

The synthesis of Fe{sup 3}+, Mo{sup 4+} and Y{sup 3+} fully stabilized zirconia by the nitrate/urea combustion route and thermal stability in air was investigated. The solid solution obtained was characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and used the BET method for determining specific surface. The ceramic powders obtained were calcined at 1473 K in air atmosphere in order to determine their thermal stability. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed a homogeneous grain surface, measuring several tens of micrometers across. The crystallographic study revealed that by this method it was successfully achieved zirconia doped with Fe{sup 3+}, Mo{sup 4+} and Y{sup 3+} ions in the zirconia tetragonal monophase, even after calcinations.

Highlights: • Thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} nanosheets were prepared by microwave assisted ultrasonic separation. • The thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} nanosheets could be more favorable to charge shift and separation. • The WO{sub 3}/thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} exhibits superior photoelectric activity than WO{sub 3}/Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} film. • The efficient photoelectric property results from facilitated charge separation. - Abstract: Thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} nanosheets are obtained by a microwave-assisted ultrasonic separation process. After exfoliation, the thinner and uniform nanosheets with a thickness of about 10 nm were obtained. The exfoliated nanosheets would provide many amazing functionalities such as high electron mobility and quantum Hall effects. Therefore, thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} supported on WO{sub 3} electrode (WO{sub 3}/thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6}) exhibits facilitated charge separation than pure WO{sub 3} film and the un-exfoliated Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} nanosheets supported on WO{sub 3} electrode (WO{sub 3}/Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6}). As a result, WO{sub 3}/thin Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} shows remarkably stable photocurrent density of 2.2 mA/cm{sup 2} at 0.8 V{sub SCE} in 0.1 M Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} which is higher than that of that of WO{sub 3} (1.1 mA/cm{sup 2}) and WO{sub 3}/Bi{sub 2}MoO{sub 6} (1.5 mA/cm{sup 2}).

Photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) of Insub(1-x)Gasub(x)P (0.6 <=) x (<=) 0.7) layers grown by the method of liquid epitaxy on GaAssub(1-y)Psub(y) (0.2 (<=) y (<=) 0.4) substrates oriented in the (111)-B plane have been investigated. Spectral distribution of PL and CL of the n- and p-type Insub(1-x)Gasub(x)P layers has been studied over the temperature range from 300 to 65 K and at different excitation levels. Radiative ''band-band'' recombination has been shown to participate in formation of the A line. The B line in the luminescence spectra of specially nondoped Insub(1-x)Gasub(x)P is related to recombination through an uncontrolled acceptor centre. The arising of the C band in the CL spectra of Insub(1-x)Gasub(x)P doped with zinc and tellurium is ascribed to donor-acceptor recombination. The external yield of CL of the Insub(0.33)Gasub(0.67)P n-type (specially nondoped) and p-type (doped with Zn adn Te) layers has been determined at 300 K.

Electric properties and the nature of conductivity of Bi 1.4 V 0.6 O 3 solid solution prepared by the method of direct high-frequency melting in the cold crucible are studied. A sample of Bi 1.4 Y 0.6 O 3 composition synthesized by this technique has a higher electric conductivity value as compared with analogous polycrystal sample has a cubic face-centered structure of the τ-Bi 2 O 3 type. On the basis of experimental e.m.f. values temperature dependences of pressures of oxygen dissociation for Bi 2 O 3 and Bi 1.4 Y 0.6 O 3 are calculated. Bi 1.4 Y 0.6 O 3 solid solution has lower values of Po 2 dissociation pressure as compared with bismuth oxide. This expands the limits of its application

Much effort has been devoted to the discovery of effective biomaterials for nerve regeneration. Here, we reported a novel application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and a neuron-penetrating peptide (RDP) as a neurophic agent to promote proliferation and neurite growth of human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells. When the cells were treated with 6MP-AuNPs-RDP conjugates, they showed higher metabolic activity than the control. Moreover, SH-SY5Y cells were transplanted onto the surface coated with 6MP-AuNPs-RDP to examine the effect of neurite development. It can be concluded that 6MP-AuNPs-RDP attached to the cell surface and then internalized into cells, leading to a significant increase of neurite growth. Even though 6MP-AuNPs-RDP-treated cells were recovered from frozen storage, the cells still maintained constant growth, indicating that the cells have excellent tolerance to 6MP-AuNPs-RDP. The results suggested that the 6MP-AuNPs-RDP had promising potential to be developed as a neurophic nanomaterial for neuronal growth.

Li, Wen Ting; Zheng, Yi Fan; Yin, Hao Yong; Song, Xu Chun

2015-01-01

BiOI/Bi 2 MoO 6 heterostructures with different amounts of BiOI were successfully prepared via a facile deposition method. The obtained BiOI/Bi 2 MoO 6 photocatalysts exhibited much higher visible light (λ > 420 nm) induced photocatalytic activity compared with single Bi 2 MoO 6 and BiOI photocatalysts. 20 % BiOI/Bi 2 MoO 6 nanocomposite exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity with almost all RhB decomposed within 70 min. However, excess BiOI covering on the surface of Bi 2 MoO 6 can inversely reduce the photocatalytic activity. The enhanced photocatalytic activities could be resulted from the function of the novel p–n heterojunction interface between Bi 2 MoO 6 and BiOI, which could separate photoinduced carriers efficiently. Possible mechanisms on the basis of the relative band positions were also discussed

Full Text Available Este ensayo repiensa el papel que desempeña la racialización en Latinoamérica, y la pone en relación con el multiculturalismo. El multiculturalismo oficial no necesariamente conduce a la disminución del racismo y puede quedarse en gestos retóricos. Es necesario enfocar el racismo y el concepto de raza como fenómenos con historia y fuerza social propias. En este artículo se mira cómo este concepto ha sido marginado en las discusiones sobre la desigualdad en Latinoamérica, y por qué es necesario ver a Latinoamérica como parte integral de las Américas negras. Además, cómo el concepto de raza se ha manifestado en Latinoamérica más de lo pensado. Se propone también que las cuestiones de raza y de racismo están ganando más espacio público en Colombia (y en Brasil. El multiculturalismo se tiene que entender como un campo de batalla, para definir sus efectos políticos.

Plasma spray is a versatile technology used for production of environmental and thermal barrier coatings, mainly in the aerospace, gas turbine, and automotive industries, with potential application in the renewable energy industry. New plasma spray technologies have been developed recently to produce high-quality coatings as an alternative to the costly low-pressure plasma-spray process. In this work, we studied the properties of as-sprayed CoNiCrAlY coatings deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrate with smooth surface ( R a = 0.8 μm) by means of a plasma torch operating in supersonic regime at atmospheric pressure. The CoNiCrAlY coatings were evaluated in terms of their surface roughness, microstructure, instrumented indentation, and phase content. Static and dynamic depositions were investigated to examine their effect on coating characteristics. Results show that the substrate surface velocity has a major influence on the coating properties. The sprayed CoNiCrAlY coatings exhibit low roughness ( R a of 5.7 μm), low porosity (0.8%), excellent mechanical properties ( H it = 6.1 GPa, E it = 155 GPa), and elevated interface toughness (2.4 MPa m1/2).

Alloying as a Route to Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides with Improved Optoelectronic Performance: Mo(S1–xSex)2 and Mo1–yWyS2

KAUST Repository

Shi, Zhiming

2018-04-26

On the basis of first-principles and cluster expansion calculations, we propose an effective approach to realize monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with sizable band gaps and improved optoelectronic performance. We show that monolayer Mo(S1–xSex)2 and Mo1–yWyS2 with x = 1/3, 2/3 and y = 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 are stable according to phonon calculations and realize 1T′ or 1T″ phases. The transition barriers from the 2H phase are lower than for monolayer MoS2, implying that the 1T′ or 1T″ phases can be achieved experimentally. Furthermore, it turns out that the 1T″ monolayer alloys with x = 1/3, 2/3 and y = 1/3, 2/3 are semiconductors with band gaps larger than 1 eV, due to trimerization. The visible light absorption and carrier mobility are strongly improved as compared to 2H monolayer MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2. Thus, the 1T″ monolayer alloys have the potential to expand the applications of transition metal dichalcogenides, for example, in solar cells.

Full Text Available By X-ray diffraction line profile analysis it is possible to obtain valid information of structure and properties of materials. This method is a powerful tool for nanomaterials microstructure characterization. In the present work mechanical alloying of ternary system Cu -2 wt. % Cr -6 wt. % Mo was made between 0.25 and 4 h of milling. By means of modified Warren-Averbach and Williamson-Hall methods the crystallite size, dislocation density, microstrain and average distance between dislocations were estimated. The crystallite size values were corrected by stacking fault presence. It was demonstrated that powders have a high anisotropic strain, which was corrected using the average dislocation contrast factors for fcc structures. Also the influence of milling time and percentage of solute on stacking fault probability and stacking fault energy was determined.

A través de las metodologías de Williamson-Hall, modificada, y Warren-Averbach, modificada, se determinó el tamaño de cristalitos, densidad de dislocaciones, microdeformación y distancia promedio entre dislocaciones. El tamaño de cristalitos fue corregido por la presencia de faltas de apilamiento. Se comprobó que los polvos poseen una alta deformación anisotrópica, que fue corregida haciendo uso de los factores de contraste promedio para estructuras fcc. Se determinó, además, la influencia del tiempo de molienda y porcentaje de soluto sobre la probabilidad de falta de apilamiento y energía de falta de apilamiento.

The present volume 'Rare earth elements' A6b describes in its first part the origin, mode of occurrence, and behavior of Y and/or RE elements in the hydrosphere and atmosphere. Separately for marine and non-marine environments (surface, subsurface, mineral, and thermal waters), the behavior of RE (including Y) in the hydrosphere comprises especially the relationship between content/composition and the chemistry of water, and the processes acting during migration, removal, and precipitation are outlined; the influence of biological material is mentioned. Behavior of RE in the atmosphere involves mainly transport, regional differences, and temporal variations as well as removal by precipitation; the anthropogenic influence is only outlined. The second part of this volume treats, partly in a more summary manner, the cosmo- and geochemical cycles and the balance of Y and/or RE elements. The relationship between geodynamic position and type of magmatism, as well as the geochemical variations in the geospheres, especially mantle and crust of the earth, are described in greater detail.

La edad de los estudiantes oscilaba entre los 6 y 12 años (etapa de latencia. A los niños se les aplicó una prueba proyectiva de personalidad denominada Wartegg y una técnica de observacional diseñada por la investigadora. La investigación tenía como objetivo general caracterizar los elementos del desarrollo psicoafectivo en niños y niñas escolarizados con edades entre 6 y 12 años de estrato socioeconómico bajo de la ciudad de Barranquilla basados en la teoría de orientación psicodinámica. Se encontraron, sin embargo, dos resultados significativos: Dificultades en el desplazamiento de la energía libidinal, lo cual interfiere en las posibilidades de establecer mejores relaciones interpersonales y, a su vez, en el desarrollo de pocas actividades competitivas, que afecta su capacidad de logro. Además, de acuerdo con las diferencias con respecto a su sexo, en los resultados no se evidenciaron aspectos relevantes y muy diferentes en el desarrollo psicoafectivo de niños y niñas.

A pesar de las múltiples inflexiones que en los últimos siglos se han dado en el mundo (Kuhn, 1962), aún se mantiene el empeño de entenderlo a través de un pensamiento limitado que debe conducir a una reflexión acerca de cómo se entiende y cómo evoluciona la vida. La transformación y el cambio de paradigmas de los últimos años no son más que una manifestación de la evolución del pensamiento humano y de las visiones de la realidad (Fritjof, 2004).

Full Text Available En Costa Rica, la informática dejó de ser una “nueva tecnología” para ser parte cotidiana de la vida de docentes y estudiantes. Sin embargo, el valor y tipo de uso de las computadoras y otros componentes de la informática en la enseñanza-aprendizaje aún son sujeto de debate entre los teóricos de la educación. La discusión se centra en un aspecto teórico y otro práctico. El teórico: ¿debe enseñarse cómo funciona la computadora o debe enseñarse simplemente a usarla? El práctico: ¿conviene usar la informática durante las lecciones, o sólo como un complemento extra-clase? Tras consultar a 231 mujeres y hombres dedicados a la enseñanza primaria y secundaria en toda Costa Rica, se encontró que la mayoría está a favor de cómo enseñar a usar la computadora (más que cómo funciona, tanto en el aula como fuera de ella. Sin embargo, en la vida real usan la informática más en actividades administrativas que educativas, y no han aprovechado el verdadero potencial de la tecnología de la información y comunicación (TIC en educación, por lo cual no han cosechado los logros que se esperan de su uso. Es urgente entonces un giro radical en la forma en que se apoya al personal docente y en cómo se emplean realmente las computadoras en la educación primaria y secundaria de Costa Rica.

1988-01-01

Stainless-steel and Mo sheathed PbMo 6 S 8 wires have been fabricated by hot working from modified PbS, Mo, and MoS 2 mixed powders which were prepared by reacting Pb, Mo, and S at 530 0 C. Critical current densities were investigated for different preparation conditions, and it is revealed that obtaining continuous current path between PbMo 6 S 8 grains is the most important factor to achieve high critical current density. The J/sub c/ value of 2.8 x 10 4 Acm 2 (8 T), 7.8 x 10 3 Acm 2 (15 T), and 1.3 x 10 3 Acm 2 (23 T) was observed for the PbMo 6 S/sub 7.0/ wire heat treated at 700 0 C.copic

Full Text Available Mindfulness o, como se denomina en español, atención o conciencia plena, se ha utilizado con éxito en contextos generalmente clínicos, aunque en los últimos años se ha ampliado su aplicabilidad a otros ámbitos, entre los que destaca el educativo. En este sentido, el presente artículo aborda desde una perspectiva teórica el concepto de mindfulness y cómo se está utilizando entre la comunidad educativa. Para ello se revisa primero el propio concepto y se discute cómo se ha pasado de la teoría a la práctica en su uso educativo, tratando de profundizar en sus ventajas y dificultades, y presentando algunas posibles mejoras. Concluimos que existe una base suficiente como para tener en cuenta su potencialidad en este ámbito, aunque todavía es preciso aumentar la investigación y tener en cuenta las dificultades para lograr mejoras en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje.

Since the emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil in 2015, 48 countries and territories in the Americas have confirmed autochthonous cases of disease caused by the virus. ZIKV-associated neurological manifestations and congenital defects make the development of safe and effective antivirals against ZIKV of utmost importance. Here we evaluated the antiviral activity of 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPr), a thiopurine nucleoside analogue derived from the prodrug azathioprine, against the epidemic ZIKV strain circulating in Brazil. In all of the assays, an epithelial (Vero) and a human neuronal (SH-SY5Y) cell line were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity and effective concentrations of 6MMPr against ZIKV. Levels of ZIKV-RNA, viral infectious titre and the percentage of infected cells in the presence or absence of 6MMPr were used to determine antiviral efficacy. 6MMPr decreased ZIKV production by >99% in both cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Interestingly, 6MMPr was 1.6 times less toxic to SH-SY5Y cells compared with Vero cells, presenting a 50% cytotoxic concentrations (CC 50 ) of 460.3 µM and 291 µM, respectively. The selectivity index of 6MMPr for Vero and SH-SY5Y cells was 11.9 and 22.7, respectively, highlighting the safety profile of the drug to neuronal cells. Taken together, these results identify, for the first time, the thiopurine nucleoside analogue 6MMPr as a promising antiviral candidate against ZIKV that warrants further in vivo evaluation.

Evidence linking breastfeeding to reduced risk of developing childhood obesity is inconclusive, yet previous studies have not considered variation in specific components of breast milk that may affect early development. We examined whether differences in the composition of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) correlate with infant growth and body composition at 1 and 6 mo of age. Twenty-five mother-infant dyads were recruited from the University Hospital at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Infants were breastfed for 6 mo. Breast-milk and infant measures were obtained at 1 and 6 mo of infant age. HMO composition was analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography, and infant growth (length and weight) and body composition (percentage fat, total fat, lean mass) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Relations between HMOs and infant growth and body composition were examined by using multiple linear regression. A priori covariates included maternal prepregnancy body mass index, pregnancy weight gain, and infant age and sex. Higher HMO diversity and evenness at 1 mo were associated with lower total and percentage fat mass at 1 mo. At 1 mo, each 1-μg/mL increase in lacto-N-fucopentaose (LNFP) I was associated with a 0.40-kg lower infant weight (P = 0.03). At 6 mo, each 1-μg/mL increase in LNFPI was associated with a 1.11-kg lower weight (P = 0.03) and a 0.85-g lower lean mass (P = 0.01). At 6 mo, each 1-μg/mL increase in LNFPI was associated with a 0.79-g lower fat mass (P = 0.02), whereas disialyl-lacto-N-tetraose and LNFPII were associated with a 1.92-g (P = 0.02) and 0.42-g (P = 0.02) greater fat mass, respectively. At 6 mo, each 1-μg/mL increase in fucosyl-disialyl-lacto-N-hexaose and lacto-N-neotetraose was associated with 0.04% higher (P = 0.03) and 0.03% lower (P milk are associated with infant growth and body composition.

The expression of the high risk HPV18 E6 and E7 oncogenic proteins induces the transformation of epithelial cells, through the disruption of p53 and Rb function. The binding of cellular transcription factors to cis-regulatory elements in the viral Upstream Regulatory Region (URR) stimulates E6/E7 transcription. Here, we demonstrate that the CCAAT-transcription factor NF-Y binds to a non-canonical motif within the URR and activates viral gene expression. In addition, NF-Y indirectly up-regulates HPV18 transcription through the transactivation of multiple cellular transcription factors. NF-YA depletion inhibits the expression of E6 and E7 genes and re-establishes functional p53. The activation of p53 target genes in turn leads to apoptotic cell death. Finally, we show that NF-YA loss sensitizes HPV18-positive cells toward the DNA damaging agent Doxorubicin, via p53-mediated transcriptional response.

To compare early child care practices at home as possible risk factors among children between 2 and 6 y of age with autism and a control group of normal children without any symptom of autism, presenting at the well-baby/immunization clinic. This case control study was undertaken at the autism clinic of CDC Kerala, comparing possible risk factors for autism among 143 children between 2 and 6 y with autism as per CARS criteria and a control group of 200 normal children of the same age from well-baby/immunization clinic of SAT hospital. The data was collected using a structured pre-piloted questionnaire, which included 11 questions administered by the same senior social scientist, on early child care practices at home that have been universally considered as important for child development. On multivariate analysis on early child care practices at home as possible risk factors for autism, it was observed that statistically significant high odds ratios were present for (i) no outings (OR = 3.36; 95% CI: 1.39-8.16; p 0.007); (ii) child does not play with children of same age (OR = 19.57; 95% CI: 9.50-40.32); (iii) do not tell stories/sing songs to the child (OR = 3.21; 9 % CI: 1.61-6.41); and (iv) breastfeeding duration nil/ early child care practices at home, specifically breastfeeding duration nil/ child does not play with children of same age, do not tell stories/sing songs to the child and no outings for the child are possible risk factors for autism.

In this study, TiN reinforced composite coatings were fabricated on Ti–6Al–4V substrate by laser cladding with Co42 self-fluxing alloy, TiN and Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} mixed powders. Microstructures and wear resistance of the cladding coatings with and without Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} addition were investigated comparatively. Results showed that the coatings were mainly comprised of γ-Co/Ni, TiN, CoTi, CoTi{sub 2}, NiTi, TiC, Cr{sub 7}C{sub 3}, TiB, Ti{sub 5}Si{sub 3} and TiC{sub 0.3}N{sub 0.7} phases. The coatings showed metallurgical bonding free of pores and cracks with the substrate. Compared with the Ti–6Al–4V substrate, the microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings was enhanced by 3–4 times and 9.5–11.9 times, respectively. With 1.0 wt.% Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} addition, the microstructure of the coating was refined significantly, and the microhardness and dry sliding wear resistance were enhanced further. The effects of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} were attributed to the residual Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} and decomposed Y atoms. - Graphical abstract: The diagram illustration for the action mechanism of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}: (a) dissolution of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} and TiN, (b) re-formation of TiN and in situ formation of TiC, (c) growth of TiN, TiC and the distribution of Y atoms. - Highlights: • Coatings showing metallurgical bonding with the substrate were fabricated. • The effect of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} on the refinement of the microstructure is notable. • A kind of Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} centered core–shell structure was picked out in the coating. • Microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings was enhanced significantly.

Behavioral problems and psychopathologies were reported in children exposed to the World Trade Center (WTC) attacks in New York City within 2–3 y post-disaster. Little is known of subsequent 9/11 related behavioral and emotional problems. We assessed risk factors for behavioral difficulties and probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 489 adolescent enrollees ages 11–18 y of age in the World Trade Center Health Registry cohort using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and DISC Predictive Scales (DPS), respectively, as reported by the adolescents. Associations between parental PTSD and adolescent PTSD and behavioral problems were studied in a subset of 166 adolescent-parent pairs in which the parent was also a Registry enrollee. Nearly one-fifth (17.4%) of the adolescents, all of whom were 5–12 y old at the time of the attacks, scored in the abnormal (5.7%) or borderline (11.7%) range of total SDQ. Problems were more frequent in minority, low-income, and single-parent adolescents. Abnormal and borderline SDQ scores were significantly associated with direct WTC exposures and with WTC-related injury or death of a family member. Adolescent PTSD was significantly associated with WTC exposure and with fear of one's own injury or death, and with PTSD in the parent (OR = 5.6; 95% CI 1.1–28.4). This adolescent population should be monitored for persistence or worsening of these problems. Co-occurrence of parent and child mental health symptoms following a disaster may have implications for healthcare practitioners and for disaster response planners. PMID:28229007

Synthesis, characterization and optical properties of a high NIR reflecting yellow inorganic pigment: Mo6+ doped Y2Ce2O7 as a cool colorant

Vishnu, V.S.; Reddy, M.L.P.

Full text: Pigments possessing the ability to confer high solar reflectance have received considerable attention in recent years. The inorganic class of NIR reflective pigments are mainly metal oxides and are primarily employed in two applications: (i) visual camouflage and (ii) reducing heat build up. More than half of the solar radiation consists of near-infrared radiation (52%), the remaining being 43% visible light and 5% ultraviolet radiation. Over heating due to solar radiation negatively affects comfort in the built environment and contributes substantially to electrical consumption for air conditioning and release of green house gases. A pigment which has strong reflections in the NIR region (780-2500 nm) can be referred to as a 'cool' pigment. However, most of the NIR reflective inorganic pigments particularly yellow (eg. cadmium yellow, lead chromate, chrome titanate yellow etc.) contain toxic metals and hence their consumption is being limited. Replacing them with environmentally benign cool pigments that absorb less NIR radiation can yield coatings similar in color, but with higher NIR reflectance. A new class of yellow inorganic pigments possessing high near-infrared reflectance (above 90% at 1100 nm), having the general formula Y 2 Ce 2-x Mo x O 7+δ (x ranges from 0 to 0.5) were synthesized by traditional solid state route. The synthesized samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, CIE 1976Lab color scales and TG/DTA analysis. XRD analysis reveals the existence of a major cubic fluorite phase for the pigment samples. The diffuse reflectance analysis of the pigments shows a significant shift in the absorption edge towards higher wavelengths (from 410 nm to 506 nm) for the molybdenum doped samples in comparison with the parent compound. The band gap of the designed pigments changes from 3.01 to 2.44 eV and displays colors varying from ivory white to yellow. The

A partir de una amplia muestra de compañías españolas, hemos documentado cómo la persistencia de la rotación es superior a la del margen, y cómo los componentes anormales de margen y rotación son menos persistentes que sus componentes sectoriales. Con relación a la capacidad predictiva, nuestros hallazgos confirman que el poder de predicción del margen es más elevado que el de la rotación, aunque su persistencia sea menor. Al separar los componentes sectorial y anormal de margen y rotación hemos comprobado cómo los componentes anormales muestran una capacidad predictiva superior a los componentes sectoriales. Los análisis complementarios muestran el distinto poder predictivo según el signo positivo o negativo de márgenes y rotaciones anormales, y según el signo del resultado, así como la robustez de nuestros hallazgos.

Analysis, simulation and control of electromagnetic transients in gas insulated substations in SF6 by means of grounding grid; Analisis, simulacion y control de transitorios electromagneticos en subestaciones aisladas en SF6 por medio de redes de tierra

The use of SF6 substations is actually an extensive practice in industrial countries. Some of they replace conventional air substations and the others are new designs in the range of 34.5 kV to 1000 kV. During the switching events in a GIS substation, very fast transients overvoltage may appear and originate faults, malfunctions in the electronic and control equipment, besides the risk by electrical discharge in the personnel who are working in the substation. These overvoltage are produced by the collapse of the electric field on GIS terminals during switching events originating Very Fast Transient Overvoltage (VFTO) and the increase of the Transient Enclosure Voltage (TEV). This investigation is focused on diminishing the magnitude of the VFTO and TEV by designing and redesigning grounding grids for gas insulated substations in SF6. The objective of this work is to design a grounding grid for an air substation and redesign it for a GIS substation. The computer simulation uses a detailed model of the substation in SF6 interconnected with an aerial grounding grid and by adding methodologically grounding rods, the VFTO and TEV within the GIS are reduced. The results of the computer simulation show that the designed grounding grid allows considerably diminishing the magnitude of the VFTO; nevertheless this design doesn't appropriately attenuate the TEV magnitude. [Spanish] Hoy en dia, el uso de subestaciones GIS se ha generalizado. Algunas reemplazan a las subestaciones aereas y otras son de nueva creacion y se instalan en tensiones de 34.5kV hasta 1000 kV.

Full Text Available Parkinson Disease (PD is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic cell bodies in the substantia nigra and oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of different algae extracts on the cell death induced by by 6-OH-dopamine on a neuronal human cell model (SH- SY5Y. The neuroprotective effect of methanolic and dichloromethane algae extract (Padina pavonica, Sargassum muticum, Saccorhiza polyschides, Codium tomentosum, Ulva compressa in the presence of 6-OH-DA was assessed using the MTT method. The activity of caspase-3 and the quantification of hydrogen peroxide (extracellular environment and real time production production were studied in the presence and in the absence of the macroalgae extracts. The highest neuroprotective effect was exhibited by methanolic fractions (1000 µg/ml; 24 hours of S. muticum (115.80 ± 8.53% of viable cells, S. polyschides (106.51 ± 4.26 of viable cells, P. pavonica (95.98 ± 3.95 of viable cells and dichloromethane (1000 µg/ml; 24 hours fraction of C. tomentosum alga (102.22 ± 4.24 of viable cells, when compared with 6-OH-DA condition (100μM; 24 hours (67.40 ± 3.56 of viable cells.

Imagen corporal y representaciones alimentarias en mujeres de trece comunidades rurales mexicanas

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Sara Elena Pérez Gil.

2018-01-01

Full Text Available Introducción: Estudios de nutrición en México apuntan en tres direcciones: la obesidad, como un problema de salud pública, particularmente en la población femenina; el aumento de otros padecimientos como anorexia y bulimia; y el incremento de la preocupación por el cuerpo, que lleva a transformar algunas prácticas y representaciones alimentarias no solo en población urbana, sino en mujeres de las zonas rurales. Objetivos: tener un primer acercamiento a la percepción corporal de las mujeres de las zonas rurales, conocer cómo son, cómo se perciben y cómo les gustaría ser, e identificar algunas de sus representaciones alimentarias. Material y Métodos: Se estudiaron 564 mujeres de 13 comunidades rurales, se les pesó y midió, y se les aplicó un cuestionario. Resultados: Según el IMC, 33% de las mujeres fueron clasificadas con normopeso; 9.6% con delgadez; 29.4% con sobrepeso; y 28% con obesidad. Las mujeres se percibieron más delgadas, a diferencia de otras investigaciones, y les gustaría ser más delgadas. Discusión: Se resalta la elevada prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad de las mujeres de estas zonas. El “desagrado hacia su cuerpo”, relacionado con el aspecto estético, muestra un aumento en la preocupación por el cuerpo en mujeres de las comunidades rurales. Conclusiones: Se considera que la inclusión de temas como la percepción y el ideal corporal en los programas de alimentación y nutrición es relevante para prevenir trastornos de la alimentación. De igual manera, los significados que tienen para las mujeres el acto de comer o no comer determinados alimentos o productos “buenos para transformar el cuerpo” son centrales para la programación de las acciones o estrategias en este campo.

We investigate 1D nanostructures based on a Mo6@SU8 hybrid nanocomposite in which photoluminescent Mo6 clusters are embedded in the photosensitive SU8 resist. Tens of micrometers long Mo6@SU8-based tubular nanostructures were fabricated by the wetting template method, enabling the control of the inner and outer diameter to about 190 nm and 240 nm respectively, as supported by structural and optical characterizations. The image plane optical study of these nanotubes under optical pumping highlights the efficient waveguiding phenomenon of the red luminescence emitted by the clusters. Moreover, the wave vector distribution in the Fourier plane determined by leakage radiation microscopy gives additional features of the emission and waveguiding. First, the anisotropic red luminescence of the whole system can be attributed to the guided mode along the nanotube. Then, a low-loss propagation behavior is evidenced in the Mo6@SU8-based nanotubes. This result contrasts with the weaker waveguiding signature in the case of UV210-based nanotubes embedding PFO (poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)). It is attributed to the strong reabsorption phenomenon, owing to overlapping between absorption and emission bands in the semi-conducting conjugated polymer PFO. These results make this Mo6@SU8 original class of nanocomposite a promising candidate as nanosources for submicronic photonic integration.

For PET radionuclides, the radioactivity of a sample can be conveniently measured by a dose calibrator. These devices depend on a “calibration setting number”, but many recommended settings from manuals were interpolated based on standard sources of other radionuclide(s). We conducted HPGe gamma-ray spectroscopy, resulting in a reference for determining settings in two types of vessels containing one of several PET radionuclides. Our results reiterate the notion that in-house, experimental calibrations are recommended for different radionuclides and vessels. - Highlights: • Dose calibrators measure radioactivity by ionization of gas from emitted radiation. • Accuracy of dose calibrators depends on “calibration setting numbers” for isotopes. • Many manufacturer settings are interpolated from emissions of other radionuclides. • As a high-precision reference, HPGe gamma-ray spectroscopy was conducted. • New calibrations were found for PET isotopes "5"2Mn, "6"4Cu, "7"6Br, "8"6Y, "8"9Zr, and "1"2"4I.

Full Text Available Este artículo pretende contribuir al debate sobre los vínculos entre la movilidad y el desarrollo, explorando el concepto de desarrollo translocal. Basado en trabajo de campo en los municipios de Matiguás y Muy Muy, éste analiza cómo la movilidad da forma a las estrategias de vida de los hogares (semi-rurales en Nicaragua, y explora cómo los diferentes miembros de un hogar utilizan la movilidad física como una estrategia de vida. Argumenta que los habitantes de áreas (semi-rurales consideran distintos tipos de movimientos como estrategias importantes para establecer enlaces entre personas y lugares, y para alcanzar un mejor bienestar en su comunidad natal. Al mismo tiempo muestra cómo la movilidad se forma en una arena de poder, lo que afecta su potencial. De esta manera, este artículo contribuye a un entendimiento dinámico y multidimensional de cómo los procesos de desarrollo dan forma a – y son formados por – la movilidad y la interconectividad.

Although surgical biliary bypass for nonresectable periampullary tumors is superior to endoscopic stent placement, the latter has become popular because of the "minimally invasive" approach. Laparoscopic biliary bypass would appear to offer the advantages of both. However, this technique remains technically difficult using existing instrumentation. This study investigates the efficacy of a new endoscopic device designed for rapidly completing a small-diameter intestinal anastomosis under laparoscopic guidance. Eighteen female pigs (mean weight 35 kg, range 31 to 44) were randomly divided into three groups: animals undergoing handsewn (group H) or instrumental transient endoluminally stented anastomosis (TESA; groups P and D) laparoscopic Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy. For TESA two different reabsorbable stents were used, polyglycolic acid (PGA; group P) and polyurethane ester (Degrapol; group D). Blood chemistry, weight gain, and abdominal X-rays were taken weekly to document any possible migration or reabsorption of the radio-opaque stents. After 3 months, necropsy was performed. Patency of the biliary bypass and choledochojejunostomy were examined using fluoroscopy and measured by introducing graduated dilators into the anastomosis. Fluoroscopy revealed immediate passage of contrast through the anastomosis in all animals. Weight gain, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase were within normal range in all groups. Diameter of the bile duct (group H 10.7 +/- 2.9 mm/group P 9.5 +/- 3.6 mm/group D 11.0 +/- 4.6 mm) and choledochojejunostomy (group H 4.5 +/- 1.1 mm/group P 4.7 +/- 1.8 mm/group D 3.6 +/- 1.9 mm) did not differ. The time required to complete the biliary bypass was significantly decreased when TESA was applied (group H 152 +/- 13 min/group P 86 +/- 14 min, P stent placement with the functional results and lower readmission of conventional Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy.

Gran parte de los cultivos de cacao en el país son viejos y necesitan ser renovados debido a sus bajos rendimientos. Por esta razón se aborda la producción masiva de plántulas injertadas con materiales de alta productividad, que sin embargo presentan problemas en el prendimiento y desarrollo de las yemas. En el Centro de Investigación Nataima-Corpoica (Espinal, Tolima, plántulas de cacao del clon IMC67 tratadas con desbrote apical fueron injertadas con yemas de los clones CCN51 e ICS95. El ensayo siguió un diseño completamente aleatorizado con siete tratamientos, tres de ellos correspondientes a concentraciones de 5, 10 y 15 mg L-1 de ácido giberélico (AG3, y otros tres aplicando 6-bencilaminopurina (6BAP en las mismas concentraciones, más un testigo sin aplicación de hormonas. Cada 3 días se midieron la altura, el diámetro, la longitud, el número de hojas y el área foliar del injerto, además de su masa fresca y seca al final del experimento, el cual duró 30 días. El AG3 permitió alcanzar los mayores valores en longitud, número de hojas, área foliar y masa fresca y seca del injerto. Para los mismos parámetros, los tratamientos con 6BAP alcanzaron valores similares a los obtenidos con AG3 (con diferencias estadísticas en algunos casos, además de los mayores diámetros del injerto. Dentro de las aplicaciones de AG3, la realizada a una concentración de 10 mg L-1 mostró los mejores resultados en ambos clones. Sin la aplicación de hormonas, las yemas del clon ICS95 desarrollaron una mayor área foliar y alcanzaron mayores valores de masa fresca y seca que las yemas del clon CCN51. Sin embargo, después de aplicar los tratamientos, los dos clones presentaron valores similares.

We report direct Fermi-surface images obtained with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) for NaMo 6 O 17 and KMo 6 O 17 above the charge-density wave transition temperatures. We also report ARPES spectra of the valence band of NaMo 6 O 17 . The images imply a Fermi surface (FS) based on three underlying quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) surfaces. Thus it agrees in detail with that expected in the hidden nesting picture of Whangbo et al. [Science 252, 96 (1991)], but differs greatly from a FS deduced in a previous study by Breuer et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3172 (1996)], which found only two underlying quasi-1D surfaces. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society

Autophagy and apoptosis are common responses to pathological damage in the process of Parkinson's disease (PD), and lysosome dysfunction may contribute to the etiology of PD's neurodegenerative process. In this study, we demonstrated that the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) increased autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells, as determined by detection of the lysosome marker lysosomal-associated membrane protein1, the autophagy protein light chain 3 (LC3)-II and the autophagy substrate P62 protein. Meanwhile, autophagy repression with 3-methyladenine accelerated the activation of caspase-3 and PARP and aggravated the cell apoptotic death induced by 6-OHDA. Furthermore, we found that 6-OHDA treatment resulted in a transient increase in the intracellular and nuclear expression of cathepsin L (CTSL). The CTSL inhibitor, Z-FY-CHO, could promote autophagy, decrease accumulation of P62, and block activation of caspase-3 and PARP. Taken together, these results suggest that activation of autophagy may primarily be a protective process in SH-SY5Y cell death induced by 6-OHDA, and the nuclear translocation of CTSL could enhance the cell apoptotic cascade via disturbing autophagy-apoptotic systems in SH-SY5Y cells. Our findings highlight the potential role of CTSL in the cross talk between autophagy and apoptosis, which might be considered a therapeutic strategy for treatment of pathologic conditions associated with neurodegeneration. - Highlights: • Inhibition of autophagy aggravated the cell apoptotic death in SH-SY5Y cells. • Activation of cathepsin L impaired the autophagy pathway. • Activation of cathepsin L enhanced the cell apoptotic cascade. • Cathepsin L involves in the cross talk between autophagy and apoptosis.

The use of heterozygote soybean chlorophyll-deficient mutant gene Y11 as a test-system for environmental monitoring after the Chernobyl accident

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Rashidov, N.; Grodzinski, D.

A heterozygote soybean line contains a gene of chlorophyll-deficiency, y 11 gene. The gene Y 11 is only partially dominant over y 11 ; thus heterozygote Y 11 y 11 plant has leaves of light green colour. Mitotic crossing-over and somatic mosaicism on Y 11 y 11 leaves of heterozygote plants are observed by scheme Y 11 Y 11 - Y 11 y 11 - y 11 y 11 as double and/or single spots. Investigation has been carried out to evaluate the low level radioactivity effects on heterozygote soybean as test-system. Solution of 3 H 2 O and 90 SrCl 2 has been used as a beta-source. The seeds were soaked in 3 H 2 O (0.2 MBq/ml) for 96 h or in 90 SrCl 2 water solution (10 MBq/ml) during 3 days. The effects of beta-irradiation were compared with the data from experiments with acute gamma-irradiation. The dose used ranged from 1 to 30 Gy (dose rate 0.14 Gy/c). Some experimental plots were also selected in Kiev, Zaporozhe regions and in the 10-km zone around Chernobyl. In the field experiments the lowest frequency of somatic mutation was registered in Kiev and Zaporozhe region where the environmental conditions were comparatively clear. But for the low accumulated doses in the 10-km zone around Chernobyl and in the laboratory experiments with beta-irradiation (for 3 H and 90 Sr), the genetic effects were high enough. It is necessary to take into account that for acute gamma-irradiation a nearly linear relationship between the dose and frequency of the somatic mutation was estimated. This fact allows to determine RBE for environmental pollution with various radioactive isotopes. It is proposed to use the heterozygote soybean as a sensitive test-system for studying the genetic effects in radioactive contaminated areas of Chernobyl region. (author)

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have received a great deal of interest recently because of a variety of factors, such as low weight and volume, operating at low temperatures and offering a high combination of power density and high efficiency in the conversion of energy, making them adequate for portable applications. Nevertheless, oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurring in the cathode of the battery plays a determinant role as the limiting reaction. Therefore, more efficient electrocatalysts need to be used. The optimal electrocatalyst for this reaction is Pt, but because of its high cost, alternative low-cost electrocatalysts with high activity and stability have been sought. Many investigations have shown that the Pt-based binary catalysts, such as Pt-M (M= Co, Fe, etc.) present good electrocatalytic activity for ORR; other studies show that Ru-based catalysts (RuSe, RuSe,Mo, RuSeRh ) also have adequate activity for this reaction. This study reports on synthesis by mechanical alloying of RuPt{sub x}M (x=0, 0.6% and M=Se,Mo,W,Sn) electrocatalyst nanoparticles at different grinding durations (0, 20 and 40 h). The materials synthesized by mechanical alloying were characterized using sweep electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction, obtaining agglomerated and dispersed particles between 1 and 30 {mu}m. The electrocatalytic characterization was conducted using VC and EDR techniques in H{sub 2}SO{sub 4} 0.5 M solution at ambient temperatures. The systems present a reaction order of 1 with respect to ORR and an overall multi-electron transfer of 4e{sup -} for the formation of water. A comparison was made between the electrocatalytic activity in the presence and absence of Pt, showing that Pt increases the catalytic activity of the materials by at least 1 order of magnitude.

The free-powder magnetisation of RMn 6-x Cr x Sn 6 compounds has been measured for compounds with R=Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er in fields up to 38 T, and interpreted in terms of a simple model, which is also outlined in this paper. From the measurements, estimates for the R-3d mean-field coupling constant (n RT ) could be derived for the cases where R=Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er. In turn, the n RT values can be related to the microscopic spin-coupling constant (J RT ). In the case of YMn 6 Sn 6 the high-field measurement presents evidence for a very weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mn layers. Furthermore, values for the Mn moments (μ Mn ) were also derived from the magnetisation measurements. The estimated μ Mn values are of the order of 2.0 μ B . ((orig.))

Mammalian cells incorporate 6-thioguanosine into their nucleic acids when grown in the presence of 6-mercaptopurine. 35S-labeled total RNA was prepared from L5178Y murine lymphoma cells grown in vitro in the presence of 6-[35S]mercaptopurine. Base analyses of this RNA suggested that 6-thioguanosine residues in RNA molecules undergo posttranscriptional modification. Thus, enzymatic peak-shifting analyses using anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography were applied to the hydrolysis products released from total RNA preparations by digestion with nuclease P1 or nuclease P1 plus nucleotide pyrophosphatase. At least eight 35S-labeled, phosphatase-sensitive compounds structurally different from [35S]6thioGMP were found in nuclease P1 digests. Four of these compounds were susceptible to cleavage with nucleotide pyrophosphatase, thus indicating that they contained phosphoric acid anhydride bonds. Individual RNA species were not separately examined, the radiochromatographic data, however, which were obtained from digests of total RNA preparations, present evidence that 6-thioguanosine 5'-diphosphate and 6-thioguanosine 5'-triphosphate exist as 5'-terminal starting nucleotides (in tRNA and rRNA) and that 6-thioguanosine becomes incorporated into the highly modified dinucleoside triphosphate structures (caps) which commonly block the 5'-termini of eukaryotic poly(A)+ mRNA-molecules.

Rupture of Model 48Y UF6 cylinder and release of uranium hexafluoride, Sequoyah Fuels Facility, Gore, Oklahoma, January 4, 1986. Volume 1

1986-02-01

At 11:30 a.m. on January 4, 1986, a Model 48Y UF 6 cylinder filled with uranium hexafluoride (UF 6 ) ruptured while it was being heated in a steam chest at the Sequoyah Fuels Conversion Facility near Gore, Oklahoma. One worker died because he inhaled hydrogen fluoride fumes, a reaction product of UF 6 and airborne moisture. Several other workers were injured by the fumes, but none seriously. Much of the facility complex and some offsite areas to the south were contaminated with hydrogen fluoride and a second reaction product, uranyl fluoride. The interval of release was approximately 40 minutes. The cylinder, which had been overfilled, ruptured while it was being heated because of the expansion of UF 6 as it changed from the solid to the liquid phase. The maximum safe capacity for the cylinder is 27,560 pounds of product. Evidence indicates that it was filled with an amount exceeding this limit. 18 figs

Catorce (14 becerras Holstein o Suizo Pardo por Cebú (11.2±0.2 meses de edad; 187.4±6.3 kg de peso, se asignaron aleatoriamente para recibir cada dos horas, durante tres días una aplicación i.v. de Ki ss-10 (Kisspeptina- 1 0; 5 μg/kg de peso; n=7 o solución salina fisiológica (Testigo, n=7. Se colectó sangre cada 15 min de las 0-6, 24-30 y 72-78 h, y cada 2 h hasta las 84 h. Cada aplicación de Kiss-10 fue seguida de un incremento de LH, cuya magn itud (área bajo la curva disminuyó ( P 0.05, y ninguna becerra manifestó actividad ovárica cíclica. Se concluye que la Kiss-10 administrada repetidamente a becerras pre-púberes es un estímulo suficiente para evocar incr ementos consistentes de LH, para inducir la ovulación y actividad lútea en animales con concentraciones séri cas elevadas de IGF-1 y bajas de leptina, pero no para inducir la ciclicidad estral.

La obesidad infantil es un importante problema de salud pública, por su prevalencia y consecuencias sobre las expectativas y la calidad de vida. La pediatría no deja de ser, en cada minuto del crecimiento de los niños, un momento para aprovechar y para poder decir qué tenemos y cómo tenemos que comer, tanto en cantidad como en calidad de nutrientes. El siguiente trabajo de investigación, realizado en la ciudad de Mar del Plata, tiene como objetivo determinar cómo incide el c...

Using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with exchange kernels, we calculate and test imaginary frequency-dependent dipole polarizabilities for all atoms and many ions in rows 1-6 of the periodic table. These are then integrated over frequency to produce C6 coefficients. Results are presented under different models: straight TDDFT calculations using two different kernels; "benchmark" TDDFT calculations corrected by more accurate quantum chemical and experimental data; and "benchmark" TDDFT with frozen orbital anions. Parametrizations are presented for 411+ atoms and ions, allowing results to be easily used by other researchers. A curious relationship, C6,XY ∝ [αX(0)αY(0)](0.73), is found between C6 coefficients and static polarizabilities α(0). The relationship C6,XY = 2C6,XC6,Y/[(αX/αY)C6,Y + (αY/αX)C6,X] is tested and found to work well (30% errors) in a small fraction of cases.

The arsenomolybdates [H{sub 2}As{sub 2}Mo{sub 6}O{sub 26}(H{sub 2}O)].(H{sub 2}biyb){sub 2}.2H{sub 2}O (1) and [H{sub 3}As{sub 2}Mo{sub 6}O{sub 26}].(H{sub 3}pt){sub 2} (2) [biyb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, pt = 4'-(3{sup ''}-pyridyl)-2,3':6'3{sup ''}-terpyridine] were synthesized via hydrothermal method. The structures of the compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and TG analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit two isomeric forms of [H{sub x}As{sub 2}Mo{sub 6}O{sub 26}]{sup (6-x)-}. The structure of 1 is constructed from the B-type [H{sub 2}As{sub 2}Mo{sub 6}O{sub 26}(H{sub 2}O)]{sup 4-} polyanions and free biyb ligands via weak interactions to form 3D supramolecular framework with a {3.4.5"3.6}{3.4"3.5"2}{3.5.6}{sup 2}{3.5"2}{sup 2} topology structure. In compound 2, the A-type [H{sub 3}As{sub 2}Mo{sub 6}O{sub 26}]{sup 3-} clusters are surrounded by pt ligands through hydrogen bond interactions forming 3D supramolecular framework with a {4"3.6"3}{sup 2}{4"6.6"6.8"3} topology structure. The electrochemical behaviors, electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activities of 1 and 2 are detected. (copyright 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
