Sol-gel, One Technology by Produced Nanohybrid with Anticorrosive Properties

AbstractThe evolution of nanotechnology has been allowed modify the material properties since of chemical architecture. In this work, we development nanohybrids sol-gel process, silica particles are incorporated a functionalized polymer resin (type epoxy and/or phenolic) with carboxylic groups. When the metallic plate is coating formed film ceramic glass. The incorporation this particles into to polymeric matrix, allowed to obtain performance corrosive properties. The structural characteristics of the different materials prepared, phenolic resin (RF), the resin functionalized (RFF) and its corresponding hybrids (RF-SiO2 and RFF- SiO2), were studied by infrared spectroscopy and morphological changes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Then cooper plates were coated with these materials to evaluate their corrosion performance. The corrosion performance evaluation for each of these coatings RF, RFF, RE- SiO2 and RFF- SiO2 were determined by the following tests: a misty saline chamber operated under accelerated corrosive conditions for corrosion advance measurement, abrasion and adhesion

High-P metamorphism of rodingites during serpentinite dehydration (Cerro del Almirez, Southern Spain): Implications for the redox state in subduction zones

The transition between antigorite-serpentinite and chlorite-harzburgite at Cerro del Almirez (Betic Cordillera, Southern Spain) exceptionally marks in the field the front of antigorite breakdown at high pressure (~16–19 kbar) and temperature (~650°C) in a paleosubducted serpentinite. These ultramafic lithologies enclose three types of metarodingite boudins of variable size surrounded by metasomatic reaction rims. Type 1 Grandite-metarodingite (garnet+chlorite+diopside+titanite±magnetite±ilmenite) mainly crops out in the antigorite-serpentinite domain and has three generations of garnet. Grossular-rich Grt-1 formed during rodingitization at the seafloor (10 kbar, ~350–650°C, ~FMQ buffer) to influx events of oxidizing fluids (fO ~HM buffer) released by brucite breakdown in the host antigorite-serpentinite. Type 2 Epidote-metarodingite (epidote+diopside+titanite±garnet) derives from Type 1 and is the most abundant metarodingite type enclosed in dehydrated chlorite-harzburgite. Type 2 formed by increasing μSiO (from −884 to −860 kJ/mol) and decreasing μCaO (from −708 to −725 kJ/mol) triggered by the flux of high amounts of oxidizing fluids during the high-P antigorite breakdown in serpentinite. The growth of Grt-4, with low-grandite and high-pyralspite components, in Type 2 metarodingite accounts for progressive reequilibration of garnet with changing intensive variables. Type 3 Pyralspite-metarodingite (garnet+epidote+amphibole+chlorite±diopside+rutile) crops out in the chlorite-harzburgite domain and formed at peak metamorphic conditions (16–19 kbar, 660–684°C) from Type 2 metarodingite. This transformation caused the growth of a last generation of pyralspite-rich garnet (Grt-5) and the recrystallization of diopside into tremolitic amphibole at decreasing fO and μCaO (from −726 to −735 kJ/mol) and increasing μMgO (from −630 to −626 kJ/mol) due to chemical mixing between the metarodingite and the reaction rims. The different bulk Fe/Fe ratios of antigorite-serpentinite and chlorite-harzburgite, and of the three metarodingite types, reflect the highly heterogeneous oxidation state of the subducting slab and likely point to the transfer of localized oxidized reservoirs, such as metarodingites, into the deep mantle.“Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad” (MINECO), Grant/Award Number: CGL2012-32067, CGL201675224-R; Junta de Andalucía, Grant/ Award Number: RNM-145, P12-RNM3141; Ramón y Cajal, Grant/Award Number: RYC-2012-11314; MINECO, Grant/Award Number: CGL2016-81085-R, PCIN-2015-05

Hamiltonian dynamics and constrained variational calculus: continuous and discrete settings

The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between Hamiltonian dynamics and constrained variational calculus. We describe both using the notion of Lagrangian submanifolds of convenient symplectic manifolds and using the so-called Tulczyjew's triples. The results are also extended to the case of discrete dynamics and nonholonomic mechanics. Interesting applications to geometrical integration of Hamiltonian systems are obtained.Comment: 33 page

Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of Sulfa-Michael Adducts and Thiochromenes Derived from Carbohydrates

The Michael addition reactions of carbohydrate-derived nitroalkenes with ethyl thioglycolate and 2-mercaptobenzyl alcohol were studied. Reactions were conducted under mild, solvent-free conditions with DABCO as a catalyst, affording the corresponding adducts in good yields. Furthermore, compounds resulting from the addition with 2-mercaptobenzyl alcohol were used as starting materials for the synthesis of chiral 3-nitro-2H-thiochromenes. For some of the compounds synthesized herein, the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities against a panel of human solid tumor cell lines were assayed and compared with those of carbohydrate-nitroalkene substrates.Junta de Extremadura GR15022Unión Europea FP7-REGPOT-2012-CT2012-31637-IMBRAI

HADES RV Programme with HARPS-N at TNG VI. GJ 3942 b behind dominant activity signals

Short- to mid-term magnetic phenomena on the stellar surface of M-type stars cannot only resemble the effects of planets in radial velocity data, but also may hide them. We analyze 145 spectroscopic HARPS-N observations of GJ 3942 taken over the past five years and additional photometry to disentangle stellar activity effects from genuine Doppler signals as a result of the orbital motion of the star around the common barycenter with its planet. To achieve this, we use the common methods of pre-whitening, and treat the correlated red noise by a first-order moving average term and by Gaussian-process regression following an MCMC analysis. We identify the rotational period of the star at 16.3 days and discover a new super-Earth, GJ 3942 b, with an orbital period of 6.9 days and a minimum mass of 7.1 Me. An additional signal in the periodogram of the residuals is present but we cannot claim it to be related to a second planet with sufficient significance at this point. If confirmed, such planet candidate would have a minimum mass of 6.3 Me and a period of 10.4 days, which might indicate a 3:2 mean-motion resonance with the inner planet

Experiencias acerca de la lactancia humana de madres gestantes que acuden al Hospital San Martín de Porres en Chocontá

Este es un estudio cualitativo de tipo fenomenológico para determinar las percepciones sobre la lactancia humana en mujeres gestantes que asisten al Hospital San Martín de Porres en Chocontá (Cundinamarca). Algunas han experimentado esta práctica y otras son primigestantes y nunca lo han hecho. La población fue seleccionada por efecto de bola de nieve y la muestra por medio del efecto de saturación. Se realizó una entrevista estructurada a los dos grupos. Los datos se analizaron definiendo categorías y codificando las respuestas y hallazgos. La asistencia juiciosa de estas mujeres embarazadas a sus controles prenatales y cursos psicoprofilácticos incide en la decisión y motivaciones para la lactancia humana de manera positiva. Se concluye que la implementación de políticas hospitalarias permite que los profesionales de salud y otros agentes comunitarios emitan conocimientos claros y sencillos acerca de la lactancia para las familias gestantes con el fin de garantizar como mínimo la lactancia humana exclusiva durante los seis primeros meses de vida

Implications of cytokine genes in allergic asthma

[EN] Asthma is a complex disease involving numerous mediator molecules and effector cells, in combination with a range of environmental determining factors. Cytokines play a key role in the physiopathological mechanisms of asthma; the study of the structure, regulation and variations of the genes that encode for these molecules is therefore crucial. Cytokines have extremely diverse roles, and exert effects both as activators and inhibitors of the innate and adaptive immune response. Certain modifications in the expression or structure of these molecules, resulting from the presence of polymorphisms, may give rise to deregulation of the mentioned effects, and therefore to a predisposition to develop concrete asthma phenotypes.Fondo Español de Investigación Sanitaria (FIS); FEDER funds; Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology; Clinical research aid from the Fondo Caja de Burgos

Bilateral cystoid macular edema following docetaxel chemotherapy in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Docetaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent of the taxane class of drugs for the treatment of breast cancer. We present a female patient who noted decreased vision after docetaxel treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old female patient received docetaxel treatment after resection of a breast carcinoma. Funduscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed cystoid macular edema on both eyes. Dilated funduscopy also showed bone spicule-like pigmented deposits, typical for retinitis pigmentosa. Besides the fundus appearance restricted peripheral vision and scotopic electroretinogram confirmed the diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa. Chemotherapy was discontinued following a consulation with the oncologist of the patient. After five weeks, visual acuity improved significantly along with decrease of retinal thickness measured by OCT. CONCLUSION: Docetaxel may cause ocular adverse effects such as cystoid macular edema. Ophthalmological examination is warranted for patients with visual complaints during docetaxel chemotherapy

Tumor de células granulares de mama: todo un reto diagnóstico

Sr. Editor: Los tumores de células granulares (TCG) fueron descritos por primera vez en 1926 por Abrikossoff como un tumor granular de localización linguae1. Son tumores poco comunes, que se originan en las células de Schwann, y pueden aparecer en distintas localizaciones a lo largo de todo el cuerpo, con una prevalencia en la mama de un 5-15%. Sus características clínicas y radiológicas son variables, aunque en muchas ocasiones simulan un carcinoma de mama. Por ello, su diagnóstico constituye un reto para el radiólogo y hay que recordar incluirlo en el diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones mamarias. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 60 años que acudió a nuestro hospital para la realización de una mamografía diagnóstica, debido a que en el estudio externo, realizado dentro del protocolo de cribado de cáncer de mama, se le había detectado una lesión en la mama izquierda..
