Graphdiyne based membranes: exceptional performances for helium separation applications
Graphdiyne is a novel two-dimensional material deriving from graphene that
has been recently synthesized and featuring uniformly distributed sub-nanometer
pores. We report accurate calculations showing that graphdiyne pores permit an
almost unimpeded helium transport which can be used for its chemical and
isotopic separation. Exceptionally high He/CH_4 selectivities are found which
largely exceed the performance of the best membranes used to date for
extraction from natural gas. Moreover, by exploiting slight differences in the
tunneling probabilities of ^3He and ^4He, we also find promising results for
the separation of the Fermionic isotope at low temperature

The Molecular Oxygen Tetramer: Intermolecular Interactions and Implications for the Solid Phase
Recent data have determined that the structure of the high pressure
phase of solid oxygen consists of clusters composed of four O
molecules. This finding has opened the question about the nature of the
intermolecular interactions within the molecular oxygen tetramer. We use
multiconfigurational ab initio calculations to obtain an adequate
characterization of the ground singlet state of
(O) which is compatible with the non magnetic character of the
phase. In contrast to previous suggestions implying chemical
bonding, we show that (O) is a van der Waals like cluster where
exchange interactions preferentially stabilize the singlet state. However, as
the cluster shrinks, there is an extra stabilization due to many-body
interactions that yields a significant softening of the repulsive wall. We show
that this short range behavior is a key issue for the understanding of the
structure of -oxygen
El profesor universitario de Comunicación: acceso, consumo y cultura mediática. Un estudio comparativo entre España y México
El profesorado universitario en Comunicación traslada al aula algunas de las piezas que previamente ha consumido como soporte del estudio del caso. Metodología. Esta investigación analiza, a través de la técnica de la encuesta, el consumo mediático de los docentes españoles (Universidad de Valladolid) y mexicanos (Universidad La Salle. Ciudad de México), valorando sus hábitos informativos, prioridad y percepción de la calidad concedida a los distintos medios, así como el grado de interactividad que se establece con los mismos. Resultados y conclusiones. Los resultados revelan que el acceso a la prensa, la radio y la televisión además de ser diario se realiza mediante el soporte tradicional; que las nuevas pantallas –smartphone, tableta y portátil– orientadas hacia la información tienen en este grupo una penetración intermedia y que se interacciona con las empresas periodísticas principalmente a través del comentario en redes sociales de las noticias más relevante

Do Clinical Trials Meet Current Care Needs? Views of Digestive Oncology Specialists in Galicia (Spain) Using the Delphi Method
Background: In recent years, abundant scientific evidence has been generated based on clinical trials (CT) in the field of oncology. The general objective of this paper is to find out the extent to which decision making is based on knowledge of the most recent CT. Its specific objectives are to pinpoint difficulties with decision making based on the CT performed and find out the motivations patients and clinicians have when taking part in a CT. Methodology: Combined, prospective study, based on the Delphi method. A lack of correspondence between the people who take part in CT and patients who come for consultation has been identified. A need for training in analysing and interpreting CT has also been identified and a lack of trust in the results of CT financed by the pharmaceutical industry itself has been perceived. Conclusions: There is a difficulty in selecting oncological treatment due to the lack of correspondence between the patients included in the CT and patients seen in consultation. In this process, real world data studies may be highly useful, as they may provide this group with greater training in interpreting CT and their results.S
Global potential energy surface for the O2 + N2 interaction. Applications to the collisional, spectroscopic, and thermodynamic properties of the complex
A detailed characterization of the interaction between the most abundant
molecules in air is important for the understanding of a variety of phenomena
in atmospherical science. A completely {\em ab initio} global potential energy
surface (PES) for the O + N interaction is
reported for the first time. It has been obtained with the symmetry-adapted
perturbation theory utilizing a density functional description of monomers
[SAPT(DFT)] extended to treat the interaction involving high-spin open-shell
complexes. The computed interaction energies of the complex are in a good
agreement with those obtained by using the spin-restricted coupled cluster
methodology with singles, doubles and noniterative triple excitations
[RCCSD(T)]. A spherical harmonics expansion containing a large number of terms
due to the anisotropy of the interaction has been built from the {\em ab
initio} data. The radial coefficients of the expansion are matched in the long
range with the analytical functions based on the recent {\em ab initio}
calculations of the electric properties of the monomers [M. Bartolomei et al.,
J. Comp. Chem., {\bf 32}, 279 (2011)]. The PES is tested against the second
virial coefficient data and the integral cross sections measured with
rotationally hot effusive beams, leading in both cases to a very good
agreement. The first bound states of the complex have been computed and
relevant spectroscopic features of the interacting complex are reported. A
comparison with a previous experimentally derived PES is also provided
CIBERER : Spanish national network for research on rare diseases: A highly productive collaborative initiative
Altres ajuts: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII); Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación.CIBER (Center for Biomedical Network Research; Centro de Investigación Biomédica En Red) is a public national consortium created in 2006 under the umbrella of the Spanish National Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII). This innovative research structure comprises 11 different specific areas dedicated to the main public health priorities in the National Health System. CIBERER, the thematic area of CIBER focused on rare diseases (RDs) currently consists of 75 research groups belonging to universities, research centers, and hospitals of the entire country. CIBERER's mission is to be a center prioritizing and favoring collaboration and cooperation between biomedical and clinical research groups, with special emphasis on the aspects of genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular research of RDs. This research is the basis for providing new tools for the diagnosis and therapy of low-prevalence diseases, in line with the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) objectives, thus favoring translational research between the scientific environment of the laboratory and the clinical setting of health centers. In this article, we intend to review CIBERER's 15-year journey and summarize the main results obtained in terms of internationalization, scientific production, contributions toward the discovery of new therapies and novel genes associated to diseases, cooperation with patients' associations and many other topics related to RD research
