The first mononuclear PtIII complex. Molecular structures of (NBu4)[PtIII(C6Cl5)4] and of its parent compound {NBu4}2[PtII(C6Cl5)4]·2CH2Cl2

(NBu4)[PtIII(C6Cl5)4], fully characterized by crystallographic, spectral, and magnetic measurements has been isolated by oxidation with halogens or TICl3 of the parent compound (NBu4)2[PtII(C6CL5)4], which has also been analysed by X-ray crystallography

By far the most intriguing complex is 2, the first mononuclear Pt(II1) complex ever reported. [NBu4]+[Pt(C&l5),]-( 2) can be prepared by reacting [NBu4]2+[Pt(C,C15)4]2(-1 ) with various oxidants such as C12, Br2, 12, or T1C13 and also by the electrochemical oxidation of 1 at 0.7 V in CH2C12. Compound 2 is stable to air and moisture, shows very limited reactivity, and has magnetic properties consistent with a 1/2 spin system. Complex 2 reacts with NO gas to give the adduct [NBu4]'[Pt(C6Cl5),(NO)]- (3), which can also be made directly from 1 by reaction with [NO]+[ClO,]- under an atmosphere at NO. Attempts to make the corresponding fluorine analogue of the Pt(II1) complex [NBu4]+[Pt(C6F,),]w- ere unsuccessful. The X-ray structures of complexes 1-3 have been determined and are also reported in this aper. Complex 3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4,lnbc (no. 1331, with a = b = 14.948 (6) c = 23.488 (9) 8, V = 5248 (3) %r3, and p(calcd) = 1.85 g cm-3 for 2 = 4. The structure has been refined to a final agreement factor of R = 6.6%

Estudio teórico-práctico de un instrumento de medida de campos electromagnéticos. Aplicación a una práctica docente.

Este trabajo se dedica al estudio teórico-práctico del analizador de espectros electromagnéticos Spectran NF-5035 de la marca AARONIA AG para implementar su utilización en las prácticas docentes universitarias en el ámbito de los campos electromagnéticos de baja frecuencia. La intención es aprovechar las posibilidades que ofrece este aparato para suplementar la formación de los alumnos con experimentos y mediciones que no se podían realizar previamente. Se complementa con una reflexión sobre la importancia de la formación en el ámbito de los campos electromagnéticos para un ingeniero eléctrico, con un repaso a la teoría relativa a la creación de estos campos y con un trabajo de revisión de los conocimientos científicos actuales sobre el impacto fisiológico y medioambiental que estos pueden llegar a tener. Posteriormente se presenta un manual “adaptado” para su implementación en prácticas docentes junto con las medidas realizadas durante la puesta a punto del analizador y durante los primeros experimentos que se realizaron en las prácticas docentes.<br /

Volunteered geographic information in natural hazard analysis : a systematic literature review of current approaches with a focus on preparedness and mitigation

With the rise of new technologies, citizens can contribute to scientific research via Web 2.0 applications for collecting and distributing geospatial data. Integrating local knowledge, personal experience and up-to-date geoinformation indicates a promising approach for the theoretical framework and the methods of natural hazard analysis. Our systematic literature review aims at identifying current research and directions for future research in terms of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) within natural hazard analysis. Focusing on both the preparedness and mitigation phase results in eleven articles from two literature databases. A qualitative analysis for in-depth information extraction reveals auspicious approaches regarding community engagement and data fusion, but also important research gaps. Mainly based in Europe and North America, the analysed studies deal primarily with floods and forest fires, applying geodata collected by trained citizens who are improving their knowledge and making their own interpretations. Yet, there is still a lack of common scientific terms and concepts. Future research can use these findings for the adaptation of scientific models of natural hazard analysis in order to enable the fusion of data from technical sensors and VGI. The development of such general methods shall contribute to establishing the user integration into various contexts, such as natural hazard analysis

Clinical and laboratory test in patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP): differences between symptomatic patients and asymptomatic carriers

Introducción: La polineuropatía amiloidótica familiar asociada a transtirretina (PAF-TTR) es una enfermedad causada por el depósito el depósito de amiloide en los tejidos, cuya proteína precursora es la transtirretina. La afectación clínica y las alteraciones analíticas dependen del estadio y del momento del diagnóstico de la enfermedad. Métodos: Estudio transversal, observacional donde se recogieron datos clínicos y analíticos de 10 pacientes sintomáticos y 10 portadores asintomáticos. Resultados: De un total de 20 casos: 14 mujeres (70%) con una mediana de edad de 47.5 años. Todos los portadores asintomáticos se diagnosticaron por cribado familiar y el 90% de los pacientes sintomáticos tenían déficit sensitivo al diagnóstico con electromiograma (EMG) patológico (p=0,016). Los pacientes sintomáticos tenían mayor variabilidad de presión arterial, sistólica (p=0,016), diastólica (p=0,045) y de frecuencia cardíaca (p<0,005). En las alteraciones analíticas destacan un descenso de T4 libre (p<0,005) y la elevación de cistatina C (p=0,046) en los pacientes sintomáticos. En cuanto a la comparación por edades en 9 (45%) casos se realizó un diagnóstico tardío (≥50 años) y en 11 (55%) diagnóstico precoz (<50 años), la edad media era de 38,55 vs 61,56 años (p<0,005). Los diagnosticados de forma tardía tenían proteínas totales bajas (p=0,008), elevación de BUN sérica (p<0,005) y cistatina C (p=0,04). Conclusiones: Los pacientes sintomáticos fueron diagnosticados por la presencia de síntomas neurológicos y disfunción autonómica. En cuanto a la comparación entre la edad al diagnóstico, los casos con diagnóstico precoz presentaban mayor implicación familiar, menor número de órganos afectados, escasa sintomatología neurológica y manifestaciones más leves.Background: Transthyretin-associated Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (TTR-PAF) is a disease caused by the deposit of abnormal transthyretin on the tissues, mainly on the nerves. The clinical affectation and laboratory test alterations depend on the clinical stage and the moment of disease diagnosis. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was performed. Medical records and laboratory test information of 20 patients: 10 symptomatic patients and 10 asymptomatic carriers. Results: Out of a total of 20 patients: 14 women (70 %) with a median age of 47.5 years. All of asymptomatic carriers were diagnosed for family history and 90 % of the symptomatic patients had neurologic impairment demonstrated with pathological electroneurography (NC) (p=0.016). The symptomatic patients had higher variability of blood pressure both systolic (p=0.016) and diastolic (p=0.045) and of heart rate (p<0.005). Regarding laboratory test alterations this patients presented a decrease of free T4 (p<0.005) and an increase of cystatine C (p=0.046). As for the comparison by age-at-onset in 9 (45 %) cases the diagnosis was late-onset (≥50 years) and 11 (55 %) early-onset (<50 years). Mean age was 38.55 vs 61.56 years (p<0.005). The late-onset group had a decrease of total proteins (p=0.008) and an increase of BUN (p<0.005) and cystatine C (p=0.04). Conclusions: Symptomatic patients were diagnosed by the presence of neurologic symptoms and vegetative symptoms. As to the comparison of age-at-onset, the early-onset has greater family history, minor number of affected organs, low neurological involvement and mild symptoms
