Hipertiroidismo felino : caso clÃnico
Tras efectuar una revisión bibliográfica centrada en el diagnóstico clÃnico y laboratorial del hipertiroidismo felino, asà como en el tratamiento mediante antitiroideos orales, el presente artÃculo describe un caso de esta patologÃa felina geriátrica todavÃa poco frecuente en España. Posteriormente se discuten aspectos importantes del diagnóstico y tratamiento.After a bibliographic update focused on clinical and laboratorial diagnosis of feline hiperthyroidism, as well on its oral treatment, this article describes one case of this geriatric unfrequent disease in Spain. Then, important diagnostic and treatment issues are discussed
Second-harmonic-generation of [(Se,Te)Cl] [GaCl] with aligned ionic tetrahedra
[SeCl][GaCl] (1) and [TeCl][GaCl] (2) are prepared via Lewis-acid–base reaction of SeCl or TeCl with GaCl at 50 °C (1) and 140 °C (2) in quantitative yield. The ionic compounds contain pseudo-tetrahedral [SeCl]/[TeCl] cations with a prominent stereochemically active electron lone pair at Se(IV)/Te(IV) as well as tetrahedral [GaCl] anions. Both compounds crystallize in the polar chiral space group P1 with an unidirectional alignment of all tetrahedral building units. They can be considered as the first examples of a much larger group of ionic compounds [MX][M′X] (M, M′: metal or main-group element, X: halogen) showing nonlinear optical effects. Material characterization is performed by X-ray structure analysis based on single crystals and powder samples, thermogravimetry, optical spectroscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Second harmonic generation (SHG) is observed with intensities about 3-times stronger than for potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) in the visible spectral regime with narrow-band-gap materials (2.8, 3.2 eV). Density functional theory calculations are employed to complement the experimental findings, interpret the Raman spectra, visualize the stereochemically active lone electron pair, and compute the SHG tensor
An analysis of interplanetary solar radio emissions associated with a coronal mass ejection
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale eruptions of magnetized plasma
that may cause severe geomagnetic storms if Earth-directed. Here we report a
rare instance with comprehensive in situ and remote sensing observa- tions of a
CME combining white-light, radio, and plasma measurements from four different
vantage points. For the first time, we have successfully applied a radio
direction-finding technique to an interplanetary type II burst detected by two
identical widely separated radio receivers. The derived locations of the type
II and type III bursts are in general agreement with the white light CME recon-
struction. We find that the radio emission arises from the flanks of the CME,
and are most likely associated with the CME-driven shock. Our work demon-
strates the complementarity between radio triangulation and 3D reconstruction
techniques for space weather applications
Derivation of the friction and thermal force for SOLPS-ITER multicomponent plasma modeling
Supramolecular chemistry of helical foldamers at the solid-liquid interface: self-assembled monolayers and anion recognition
The synthesis of a redox-active helical foldamer and its immobilization onto a gold electrode are described. These large molecular architectures are grafted in a reproducible manner and provide foldamer-based self-assembled monolayers displaying recognition properties
Holocene subsurface temperature variability in the eastern Antarctic continental margin
We reconstructed subsurface (∼45-200m water depth) temperature variability in the eastern Antarctic continental margin during the late Holocene, using an archaeal lipid-based temperature proxy (TEX 86 L). Our results reveal that subsurface temperature changes were probably positively coupled to the variability of warmer, nutrient-rich Modified Circumpolar Deep Water (MCDW, deep water of the Antarctic circumpolar current) intrusion onto the continental shelf. The TEX 86 L record, in combination with previously published climatic records, indicates that this coupling was probably related to the thermohaline circulation, seasonal variability in sea ice extent, sea temperature, and wind associated with high frequency climate dynamics at low-latitudes such as internal El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This in turn suggests a linkage between centennial ENSO-like variability at low-latitudes and intrusion variability of MCDW into the eastern Antarctic continental shelf, which might have further impact on ice sheet evolution.
