    The direct synthesis of hydroxyapatite─1,8-octan-bisphosphonic acid (HAp─BISPH) nanocrystals has been carried out in presence of increasing amounts of BISPH in solution, by hydrothermal method at 120 °C for 15 h. XRD, IR, NMR-MAS (31P, 1H and 13C), TEM, AFM, TGA and chemical analysis were used to characterize the structure, morphology and composition of the products. X-ray powder diffraction patterns show that the incorporation of bisphosphonate moieties induces a significant loss of the material crystallin-ity and a clear decrease of the crystallite size. TEM and AFM images show that the precipitated apatite particles prepared in the presence of this bisphosphonic acid are nanosized. The IR and NMR-MAS 1H spectroscopy show that the BISPH can replace the OH− groups of the apatitic structure.

    ModĂ©lisation numĂ©rique de la minĂ©ralisation polymĂ©tallifĂšre du gisement de Tighza (Maroc central) par l’outil SIG et la gĂ©ostatistique

    Le gisement de Tighza est le 1er site producteur de concentrĂ© de plomb et le 2nd fournisseur d’argent au Maroc. Sa durĂ©e de vie s’étale sur 15 ans .en effet, la Compagnie miniĂšre de Touissit (CMT) a rĂ©alisĂ©, en 2008, un chiffre d'affaires de 291,4 MMDH contre 247,3 en 2007, soit une progression de plus 17%. Cette augmentation est due, entre autres, Ă  l'Ă©volution positive des tonnages vendus (plomb +14,3%, zinc +48,9%). Pour les opĂ©rateurs miniers, la viabilitĂ© du site est capitale. Les recherches menĂ©es actuellement visent Ă  prolonger la durĂ©e d’exploitation du gisement de Tighza. Ces recherches pose, au sein de la Compagnie MiniĂšre de Touissit (CMT), un problĂšme d’organisation et de stockage de l’information produite par ses diffĂ©rents services notamment celui de la gĂ©ologie. Face Ă  cette situation, et compte tenu du volume de donnĂ©es produit, qui ne cesse de s’accroĂźtre d’une part, et leur Ă©ventuelle perte d’autre part, la CMT a dĂ©cidĂ© d’instaurer un systĂšme d’information, Ă  travers une base de donnĂ©es numĂ©risĂ©e, lui permettant le stockage, le traitement et l’exploitation rationnelle de l’information disponible en vue d’aider les responsables miniers Ă  prendre les dĂ©cisions qui conviennent. Dans ce sens, nous avons utilisĂ© l’environnement ArcGIS pour mettre en place une base de donnĂ©es spatiales par la numĂ©risation, le  gĂ©orĂ©fĂ©rencement et l’élaboration d’un certain nombre de couches d’informations Ă  partir de cartes topographique, gĂ©ologique, gĂ©ochimique et les donnĂ©es de sondages carottĂ©s. Ainsi un ModĂšle NumĂ©riquede Terrain (MNT) du secteur de Tighza a Ă©tĂ© Ă©laborĂ© en se basant sur les courbes de niveau et des points cĂŽtĂ©s digitalisĂ©s Ă  partir de la carte topographique. Ce travail est complĂ©tĂ© par un traitement statistique et gĂ©ostatistique. Ainsi une analyse multidimensionnelle utilisant l’analyse en composante principale (ACP) a permis de dĂ©terminer les principaux axes factoriels. Le traitement gĂ©ostatistique des donnĂ©es gĂ©ochimiques a consistĂ© d’abord Ă  une modĂ©lisation des variogrammes des diffĂ©rents Ă©lĂ©ments chimiques, l’élaboration des cartes variographiques et enfin l’établissement des cartes de rĂ©partition spatiale par krigeage pour chaqueĂ©lĂ©ment. Les cartes thĂ©matiques obtenues pouvant conduire Ă  l’élaboration d’un modĂšle gĂ©ochimique renseignant sur la rĂ©partition des mĂ©taux de ce district.Mots clĂ©s : SIG, cartographie, gĂ©ologie miniĂšre, statistique, gĂ©ostatistique, Tighza, Maroc Central

    Regioselective Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-4,5-alkyl-Substituted Pyridines Using 1,3-Enynes as Alkynes Surrogates

    Get PDF
    The poor regioselectivity of the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-azetidinones with internal alkynes bearing two alkyl substituents via nickel-catalyzed carbon–carbon activation is addressed using 1,3-enynes as substrates. The judicious choice of substitution on the enyne enables complementary access to each regioisomer of 3-hydroxy-4,5-alkyl-substituted pyridines, which are important building blocks in medicinal chemistry endeavors

    L’os temporal prĂ©sente plusieurs variantes dont certaines peuvent avoir un impact chirurgical. La chirurgie de l’oreille est non dĂ©nuĂ©e de risques. Les variantes anatomiques de l’os temporal sont importantes Ă  connaitre et Ă  prĂ©ciser dans le compte rendu radiologique avant toute intervention sur l’oreille. La TDM est l’examen clĂ© pour le bilan morphologique de toute oreille.Mots ClĂ©s : Variantes anatomiques, os temporal, TDM, risques.The temporal bone has several variants, some of which may impact surgical. The ear surgery is not without risks. The anatomic variations of the temporal bone is important to know and specify in the radiological reports before working on the ear. The CT is the key for the morphological assessment of any ear.Keys Words: Anatomic variations, temporal bone, CT, risk

    Xylem surfactants introduce a new element to the cohesion-tension theory

    Get PDF
    Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial systems almost invariably result in bubble formation, except under highly controlled conditions with pure water and only hydrophilic surfaces present. In theory, conditions in the xylem should favor bubble nucleation even more: there are millions of conduits with at least some hydrophobic surfaces, and xylem sap is saturated or sometimes supersaturated with atmospheric gas and may contain surface-active molecules that can lower surface tension. So how do plants transport water under negative pressure? Here, we show that angiosperm xylem contains abundant hydrophobic surfaces as well as insoluble lipid surfactants, including phospholipids, and proteins, a composition similar to pulmonary surfactants. Lipid surfactants were found in xylem sap and as nanoparticles under transmission electron microscopy in pores of intervessel pit membranes and deposited on vessel wall surfaces. Nanoparticles observed in xylem sap via nanoparticle-tracking analysis included surfactant-coated nanobubbles when examined by freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Based on their fracture behavior, this technique is able to distinguish between dense-core particles, liquid-filled, bilayer-coated vesicles/liposomes, and gas-filled bubbles. Xylem surfactants showed strong surface activity that reduces surface tension to low values when concentrated as they are in pit membrane pores. We hypothesize that xylem surfactants support water transport under negative pressure as explained by the cohesion-tension theory by coating hydrophobic surfaces and nanobubbles, thereby keeping the latter below the critical size at which bubbles would expand to form embolisms
