Abstract

Cuando se dio el primer caso de Covid-19 en Costa Rica, a principios de marzo de 2020, se había convocado la asamblea anual de ACOFI para el día 25 de abril en la Facultad de Letras de la Universidad de Costa Rica, como de costumbre. Las autoridades nacionales anunciaron una serie de medidas que entraron en vigor a partir del 18 de marzo, entre ellas la suspensión de todas las actividades presenciales. Escuelas, colegios y universidades cerraron sus puertas y se empezaron a usar programas de comunicación virtual, en particular Zoom. Debido a que la Ley de Asociaciones no contempla asambleas que no sean presenciales, y que hay disposiciones para la prolongación del mandato de directivas cuando no se pueden sustituir, se hizo una consulta a los miembros sobre si estaban de acuerdo en que la directiva continuara hasta que se pudiera hacer una asamblea presencial. Todos los miembros que respondieron a la consulta hecha por correo electrónico estuvieron de acuerdo.

Abstract

This study is the first record of medicinal plants in the southwest of the Coahuila state, an arid zone where extreme dry conditions prevail. One hundred twenty-two residents (in sixteen communities) were interviewed. The residents were questioned with a questionnaire-guided ethnomedical survey protocol about the various plants used. Seventy-seven species of medicinal plants belonging to 36 botanical families were cited. The highest use-value (UV) was calculated for Lippia graveolens Kunth (0.30); Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f. (0.20); Eucalyptus abdita Brooker & Hopper, Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. (0.16); Mentha spicata L. (0.15) and Salvia officinalis L. (0.10). Informant consensus factor (ICF) about usages of medicinal plants ranges from 0.41 to 0.80; the highest level of agreement was determined between the informants and Respiratory System Diseases (0.80). The highest fidelity level (FL) values (100%) were identified in Flourensia cernua DC., Artisia ludoviciana Nutt., and Parthenium incanum Kunth to Gastro-intestinal System Diseases; Eucalyptus abdita Brooker & Hopper, Bougainvillea berberidifolia Heimerl, and Lippia graveolens Kunth to Respiratory System Diseases (RSD) and Cyclolepis genistoides D.Don and Ephedra antisyphilitica Berland. ex C.A.Mey. to Obstetrics, Gynecology and Urinary tract Diseases. These last two medicinal plant species (“palo azul” and “pitoreal”) used by the rural communities in Viesca in the treatment of urinary tract infections and kidney stones have not been reported previously. These findings can provide new research directions for further phytochemical studies. The present study revealed that the residents are rich in ethno-medicinal knowledge and actively use medicinal plants to treat various diseases. New phytochemical and pharmacological research are needed to confirm the therapeutic potential and safety of the identified plants.

Abstract

A pesar de las leyes existentes, en la práctica el Estado peruano ignora la multiculturalidad y se comporta como una entidad monolingüe y monocultural. Dado que este paradigma equivocado todavía vigente, el Estado no ha invertido lo suficiente para desarrollar las habilidades lingüísticas con el fin de servir a todos los ciudadanos por igual. Las consecuencias de ello son la falta de fomento, la discriminación y finalmente el aislamiento que lleva a la extinción de las lenguas autóctonas. Nuestra iniciativa es cambiar el paradigma equivocado, despertar el orgullo nacional por nuestras raíces nativas y hacerlo en tres frentes: demostrar que nuestras lenguas se pueden usar en el mundo tecnológico moderno al igual que las lenguas bien establecidas, demostrar que nuestras lenguas pueden portar cultura y entretenimiento bajo los cánones contemporáneos y demostrar que nuestras lenguas aportan valor económico a la nación, lo que justifica su preservación más allá del derecho. En este documento se describe una hoja de ruta para el desarrollo de la lingüística computacional de idiomas infrasoportados que todavía son hablados por millones de hablantes. Tal es el caso del quechua, aimara, guaraní, náhuatl, mixteco, otomí, quiché, maya o zapoteco. Debido a la masiva presencia de los hablantes de estas lenguas en el entorno urbano y a su uso habitual de Internet y telefonía móvil, se apuesta por la construcción de corpus de estas lenguas vía crowdsourcing online.

Abstract

One of the largest species in its genus, Odontomachus davidsoni Hoenle, Lattke & Donoso, sp. nov. is described from workers and queens collected at lowland forests in the Chocó-Darién bioregion in coastal Ecuador. The workers are characterized by their uniform red coloration, their large size (16–18 mm body length), and their frontal head striation that reaches the occipital margin. DNA barcodes (COI) and high resolution 2D images of the type material are provided, as well as an updated key for the Neotropical species of Odontomachus. In addition, a three-dimensional digital model of the worker holotype and a paratype queen scanned with DISC3D based on photogrammetry is presented, for the first time in a species description. Findings of large and conspicuous new species are uncommon around the world and suggest that these Ecuadorian rainforests may conceal many more natural treasures that deserve conservation.

Abstract

After a short biography of Constantino Láscaris, we consider in general the various ways in which a philosopher´s thought can influence society, so that we can better comprehend Láscaris´s profound influence in Costarican life. This helps us to appreciate the philosopher´s integration in the life of his adopted country, where he became an insider. An analysis of his thought shows us his defense of liberalism, and his affinity with Sartre´s and Heidegger´s existentialism.

Abstract

Pyogenic tenosynovitis is caused by hematogenous spread of infection or trauma with direct inoculation of a tendon sheath. Symptoms and clinical examination findings associated with pyogenic tenosynovitis may be confused with superficial soft tissue infections, however management plans between pyogenic tenosynovitis and superficial soft tissue infection vary significantly. In patients with pyogenic tenosynovitis, operative intervention and subsequent irrigation and debridement offer a definitive therapy. Bedside ultrasound helps clinicians inspect the involved tendon sheath and may help assisting diagnosis of pyogenic tenosynovitis. In this case report, we described three cases, where point of care ultrasound was used to assist the diagnosis of pyogenic tenosynovitis, to accelerate consultation, and to expedite operative intervention.

Abstract

La córnea es un tejido transparente, avascular que está ubicado en la región anterior del globo ocular cuya función principal es la de formar parte del sistema dióptrico del ojo. Las patologías de la córnea son muy frecuentes principalmente por su ubicación. La úlcera corneal es una de las que más se presentan, la ulcera se produce por perdida de las capas superficiales de la córnea que le sirven de protección contra agentes externos. Al perder esa protección por diferentes causas, la córnea se expone a invasión de gérmenes, que producirán infecciones, que pueden ser de etiología viral, bacteriana, parasitaria o micótica, provocando lesiones oculares irreversibles. Objetivo: Demostrar la existencia de un caso confirmado de queratitis y úlcera corneal micótica. Caso Clínico: Se describe el caso de un paciente varón, militar ecuatoriano, con antecedentes de trauma directo en ojo izquierdo, que acude a médico cinco días luego al evento, quien posterior a valoración y estudio anatomopatológico determina afección de origen micótico (Fusarium Sp.). Recibe tratamiento, revirtiendo su infección, pero debido a las secuelas no logra recuperar la visión, necesitando un trasplante corneal a posterior. Conclusión: La evolución clínica luego de una lesión corneal condiciona irreversiblemente la visión, con alto riesgo de ceguera y pérdida del globo ocular sin intervención médica precoz.

Abstract

Photothermal therapy is proposed as a straightforward manner of killing cancer cells, which a plasmon field of gold nanoparticles is activated by incoming light resonance leading to a local increase of temperature. This photothermal effect is strongly dependent on the plasmonic features of the nanoparticles. Herein, we study the effect of the ion-mediated aggregation of citrate-capped small spherical gold nanoparticles on the plasmonic band and the photothermal performance. An intermediate value of ionic strength has been found to be optimum with respect to the photothermal capabilities of the gold nanoparticles.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of many animal models for tuberculosis (TB) research, there still exists a need for better understanding of the quiescent stage of disease observed in many humans. Here, we explored the use of the Wistar rat model for the study of protective immunity and control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The kinetics of bacillary growth, evaluated by the colony stimulating assay (CFU) and the extent of lung pathology in Mtb infected Wistar rats were dependent on the virulence of the strains and the size of the infecting inoculums. Bacillary growth control was associated with induction of T helper type 1 (Th1) activation, the magnitude of which was also Mtb strain and dose dependent. Histopathology analysis of the infected lungs demonstrated the formation of well organized granulomas comprising epithelioid cells, multinucleated giant cells and foamy macrophages surrounded by large numbers of lymphocytes. The late stage subclinical form of disease was reactivated by immunosuppression leading to increased lung CFU. CONCLUSION: The Wistar rat is a valuable model for better understanding host-pathogen interactions that result in control of Mtb infection and potentially establishment of latent TB. These properties together with the ease of manipulation, relatively low cost and well established use of rats in toxicology and pharmacokinetic analyses make the rat a good animal model for TB drug discovery.

Abstract

There are strong evidences that Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives in a non-replicating state in the absence of oxygen in closed lesions and granuloma in vivo. In addition, M. tuberculosis is acid-resistant, allowing mycobacteria to survive in acidic, inflamed lesions. The ability of M. tuberculosis to resist to acid was recently shown to contribute to the bacillus virulence although the mechanisms involved have yet to be deciphered. In this study, we report that M. tuberculosis resistance to acid is oxygen-dependent; whereas aerobic mycobacteria were resistant to a mild acid challenge (pH 5.5) as previously reported, we found microaerophilic and hypoxic mycobacteria to be more sensitive to acid. In hypoxic conditions, mild-acidity promoted the dissipation of the protonmotive force, rapid ATP depletion and cell death. Exogenous nitrate, the most effective alternate terminal electron acceptor after molecular oxygen, protected hypoxic mycobacteria from acid stress. Nitrate-mediated resistance to acidity was not observed for a respiratory nitrate reductase NarGH knock-out mutant strain. Furthermore, we found that nitrate respiration was equally important in protecting hypoxic non-replicating mycobacteria from radical nitrogen species toxicity. Overall, these data shed light on a new role for nitrate respiration in protecting M. tuberculosis from acidity and reactive nitrogen species, two environmental stresses likely encountered by the pathogen during the course of infection.

Abstract

We report on the preparation and characterization of two dimensional (2D) films of (S,S,P)-1 and (R,R,M)-1 ortho-oligophenylene ethylene (o-OPE) enantiomers presenting high values of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The amphiphilic character of these two molecules allows a precise 2D self-assembly at the air/water interface and an efficient transfer onto a glass solid support. The morphological and chiroptical characterization of the solid supports after the transfer of 1, 8, 16 and 32 Langmuir films of (S,S,P)-1 and (R,R,M)-1 has been carried out. The strong chiroptical values of these monomers allow reliable ECD measurements to be obtained after a single transfer, with ECD values increasing as the number of transferred films increases. The semi-liquid behavior of the monomers on the solid substrate allows CPL measurements free of photoselection artifacts that show values similar to those obtained in solution and independent of monomer concentration. All these properties have allowed us to develop the first simple organic molecule (SOM)-based chiroptical barcoding presenting positive and negative regions as a proof of concept., Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (AEI, Spain) PID2020-112744GB-I00 Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN) Spanish Government MCIN/AIE, FSE "El FSE invierte en tu futuro" in Spain, FEDER/Junta de Andalucia-Consejeria de Economia y Conocimiento/Proyecto PID2020-113059GB-C21/AEI PRE2021-097546 FPU16/02597 P20_00162

Abstract

Understanding social behavior and explaining its implications is essential when examining consumer xenocentric behavior. This study evaluated the direct effects of consumer xenoncentrism on product attitude and purchase intention of imported products and analyzed the moderating impact of formal education on xenocentric consumer behavior considering groups with higher and low formal education levels. Structural equation modeling technique and multigroup analysis based on samples collected from Chilean consumers were used to analyze the research model. There were 295 effective online questionnaires (42.4% females and 57.6% males). This study’s findings suggest that consumer xenocentric effects are directly related to imported products’ product attitude (G: R2 = 0.254; L: R2 = 0.121; H: R2 = 0.327) and purchase intention (G: R2 = 0.454; L: R2 = 0.469; H: R2 = 0.365). In addition, findings exhibit that xenocentric consumer behaviors are more significant when associated with formal educational level (G: 0.575; L: 0.640; H: 0.443). Therefore, as education levels increase, the xenocentric effect also increases. An important application of these findings is that education in emerging countries and developing economies should strengthen local production valorization and promote marketing strategies that foster the sustainable consumption of products manufactured in their own countries.

Abstract

This work examines the effect of nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) concentrations on wear resistance behavior of Cu-xNi-yCo-Cr-Si (x = 8−9 wt%, y = 1−2 wt%) and the zirconium (Zr) addition, in order to obtain an alloy with similar or better properties than the C17510 alloy. In this study, hardness and wear resistance mechanism behavior were associated with the microstructure evolution of these alloys with different aging strengthening conditions. Different heat treatments (HT) were applied to three alloys Cu-8Ni-2Co-1.6Cr-2Si wt% (L1), Cu-8.5Ni-1.5Co-1.6Cr-2Si wt% (L2) and Cu-9Ni-1Co-1.6Cr-2Si-0.18Fe-0.3Zr wt% (L3), the properties obtained were compared with C17510 alloy. Specimens were characterized by different metallographic techniques, the microstructural characterization was made with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and revealed regions of dendritic morphologies. The solidification sequence is primary Cu dendrites and some phases in the interdendritic regions. The solution heat treatment decreased (ST) the Hardness Rockwell B (HRB) and wear rate resistance, and there was an increase with the first aging heat treatment (HT1) for each alloy. The most outstanding combination of properties was found for Cu-8.5Ni-1.5Co-1.6Cr-2Si wt% alloy (L2C3) with 100 ± 1 HRB and specific wear rate resistance of 1.2 × 10−4 mm3/Nm, after the first aging heat treatment.

Abstract

Background: Arthrocentesis of the ankle and elbow and brachial plexus nerve blocks are infrequently performed procedures; however, clinicians in specialties such as emergency medicine are required to be proficient in these procedures in the event of emergent or urgent necessity. Objectives: The objective of this study was to create, implement, and assess a fresh cadaver-based educational model to help resident physicians learn how to perform ultrasound-guided arthrocentesis of the ankle and elbow and ultrasound-guided regional nerve blocks. Methods: This was a single-center cross-sectional study conducted at an academic medical center. After a brief didactic session, 26 emergency medicine residents with varying levels of clinical and ultrasound experience rotated through 4 fresh cadaver-based stations. The objective of each station was to understand the sonographic anatomy and to perform ultrasound-guided arthrocentesis or regional nerve block with hands-on feedback from ultrasound fellows and faculty. Participants were subsequently asked to complete a questionnaire which evaluated participants’ experience level, opinions, and procedural confidence regarding the 4 stations. Results: A total of 26 residents participated in this study. All 26 residents agreed that the cadaver model (compared with clinical anatomy) was realistic regarding ultrasound quality of the joint space, ultrasound quality of the joint effusion, ultrasound quality of nerves, tissue density, needle guidance, and artifacts. Finally, there was a statistically significant difference between mean scores for pre-simulation and post-simulation session participant procedural confidence for all 4 procedures. Conclusions: This fresh cadaver-based ultrasound-guided educational model was an engaging and well-received opportunity for residents to gain proficiency and statistically significant confidence in procedures which are uncommonly performed in clinical settings.

Abstract

During most of the 19th century, an important body of literary works appeared outside of Cuba criticizing the institution of slavery on the island, the system’s inherent violence, its sexual practices, and its repercussions on the white population. Among the most famous works published at the time were Sab (1841), by Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, and Cecilia Valdés ([1839] 1882), by Cirilo Villaverde. In this essay, I would like to explore a lesser known novel that was published by a Cuban writer of the following generation—El negro Francisco (1875), by Antonio Zambrana y Vazquez—in order to understand the principal role of the legal and anthropological archives in the novel, as well as the author’s use of newspaper reports and advertisements. How are these texts and styles intertwined in the novel to criticize institutional slavery on the Island? How does the authorial voice appear in the novel when we consider a tradition present since the beginning of the Spanish Conquest of the Americas—which reached the 20th century with novels such as Los pasos perdidos (1958) by Alejo Carpentier? I would base my arguments on Roberto González Echevarría’s interpretation of Latin American novel in Mito y Archivo, una teoría de la narrativa latinoamericana, in which he employs basic concepts of US critical anthropology in order to re-interpret various aspects of 19th century Latin American history.

Abstract

Fuel cells stand out as among the most promising alternatives for non-sustainable fossil fuel based economy. Efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are required for the mass application of fuel cells. Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are proposed as potentialdependent electrocatalysts for the ORR. AuNPs were synthesized by a green, reproducible, and easy scale-up method. After exhaustive characterization, the electrocatalytic activity of the resulting AuNPs was investigated in alkaline media. Static and dynamic electrochemical studies showed a core-size dependent tendency both for their potentials and intensities. For the first time ever, the hysteresis effect in the ORR profile over Au nanoelectrocatalysts is reported herein. In addition, the electrocatalytic efficiency was comparable to those obtained for Au clusters, suggesting the benefits of the citrate stabilizing agent on the electrocatalyst performance of nanomaterials based on noble metals for ORR. These results pave the way for the design of non-coated AuNPs as strong candidates for ORR.

Abstract

The oxygen reduction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution (HER) reactions are the most important cathodic processes involved in fuel cell and water splitting technologies, respectively. The development of bifunctional electrocatalyst materials plays a key role in the rapid advancement of these hydrogen-based renewable energy strategies. This work proposes citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for ORR and HER. The capping ligand has a great influence on their resulting electrocatalytic performance. A simple ligand exchange method based on concentration gradients has been optimized. The surface structure of the different ligand-stabilized AuNPs was inferred by lead underpotential deposition (Pb-UPD). Static and dynamic electrochemical studies for both ORR and HER have been performed using different ligand-stabilized AuNPs as electrocatalysts, demonstrating that the citrate ligand confers the best performance. This work suggests that non-doped chemically synthesized AuNPs may be suitable as a bifunctional electrocatalyst in fuel cells and hydrogen production.

Abstract

Monolayers of a cytosine-based nucleolipid (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-(cytidine diphosphate) (ammonium salt), CDP-DG) at basic subphase have been prepared at the air-water interface both in absence and presence of guanine. The formation of the complementary base pairing is demonstrated by combining surface experimental techniques, i.e., surface pressure (π)–area (A), Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), infrared spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and computer simulations. A folding of the cytosine-based nucleolipid molecules forming monolayer at the air-water interface occurs during the guanine recognition as absorbate host and is kept during several compression-expansion processes under set experimental conditions. The specificity between nitrogenous bases has been also registered. Finally, mixed monolayers of CDP-DG and a phospholipid (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (sodium salt), DMPA) has been studied and a molecular segregation of the DMPA molecules has been inferred by the additivity rule.

Abstract

Globalization has forced international firms to be competitive, innovative, and most importantly, adaptive to the changing economic conditions and consumer behavior, and emerging threats from local firms based in developing countries and emerging markets. These markets also have one of the fastest growth rates in the world given the advancement in technology, the rise in global investments, and the change in culture. As such, the knowledge translation and transfer from advanced countries to emerging markets and vice-versa is of essence; the advanced countries need access to the markets, and the emerging markets need the technology and investments, among others, from advanced countries. It is a win-win strategy to develop competitive advantage for international firms. In this context, the authors, who have significant international business knowledge in developing countries and emerging markets, carefully present a selection of peer-reviewed edited chapters that are research-based, theoretical sound, and managerially relevant.The book serves as an essential tool to study, apply, and analyze the contemporary dynamics in developing and emerging markets as the chapters cover recent and relevant business topics such as talent management, ICT technologies, innovation, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, business incubation home market, and entry strategies.

Abstract

Background: \ud Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists differ in chemical structure, duration of action, and in their effects on clinical outcomes. The cardiovascular effects of once-weekly albiglutide in type 2 diabetes are unknown. We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of albiglutide in preventing cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke.\ud \ud Methods: \ud We did a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 610 sites across 28 countries. We randomly assigned patients aged 40 years and older with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (at a 1:1 ratio) to groups that either received a subcutaneous injection of albiglutide (30–50 mg, based on glycaemic response and tolerability) or of a matched volume of placebo once a week, in addition to their standard care. Investigators used an interactive voice or web response system to obtain treatment assignment, and patients and all study investigators were masked to their treatment allocation. We hypothesised that albiglutide would be non-inferior to placebo for the primary outcome of the first occurrence of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, which was assessed in the intention-to-treat population. If non-inferiority was confirmed by an upper limit of the 95% CI for a hazard ratio of less than 1·30, closed testing for superiority was prespecified. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02465515.\ud \ud Findings: \ud Patients were screened between July 1, 2015, and Nov 24, 2016. 10 793 patients were screened and 9463 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to groups: 4731 patients were assigned to receive albiglutide and 4732 patients to receive placebo. On Nov 8, 2017, it was determined that 611 primary endpoints and a median follow-up of at least 1·5 years had accrued, and participants returned for a final visit and discontinuation from study treatment; the last patient visit was on March 12, 2018. These 9463 patients, the intention-to-treat population, were evaluated for a median duration of 1·6 years and were assessed for the primary outcome. The primary composite outcome occurred in 338 (7%) of 4731 patients at an incidence rate of 4·6 events per 100 person-years in the albiglutide group and in 428 (9%) of 4732 patients at an incidence rate of 5·9 events per 100 person-years in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·78, 95% CI 0·68–0·90), which indicated that albiglutide was superior to placebo (p

Abstract

International audience; Mixed Langmuir monolayers of 10,12-Pentacosadiynoic acid (DA) monomer and an amphiphilic Hemicyanine dye derivative have been formed at the air/water interface. Two derivatives of docosylpyridinium have been used, with either one included in the monolayer in 1:1 molar ratio. The DA monomers within the mixed monolayers have been polymerized in situ at the air/water interface. The crystalline structure of the monolayer and the kinetics of polymerization have been probed grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). The polymerization of DA proceeds with no phase segregation, exclusively leading to the red polydiacetylene form. The kinetics of polymerization at the air/water interface has been monitored in situ by GIXD. The experimental results have been combined with Molecular Mechanics computer simulations, revealing that DA molecules are sequentially arranged with molecules of Hemicyanine dye in alternating rows. The hydrophobic chains of the dye molecules act as spacers between the DA monomers. Surprisingly, such molecular arrangement does not hinder the in situ photopolymerization of DA. The mechanism of polymerization of DA within the mixed Langmuir monolayers has been convincingly described in molecular detail. This approach for interfacial polymerization of DA holds great potential for optically active devices and nanostructures comprising self-assembled thin films based in polydiacetylene.

Abstract

Exotic assemblies with unique photophysical features can be built based on organic dyes at the air–liquid interface. Langmuir monolayers of N,N′-dioctadecylthiapentacarbocyanine (OTCC) at air–water and air–solid interfaces have been studied. A single type of domain and presumably of one single aggregate type has been found by Brewster angle microscopy. Peanut-shaped domains with internal anisotropy have been observed. However, this structure leads to a complex absorption spectrum which shows 4 bands, two red-shifted (822 nm and 757 nm), and two blue-shifted (600 nm and 530 nm) with respect to the monomer band (665 nm). Our results confirm that all the absorption components are polarized in approximately the same direction. The absence of an emission spectrum indicates that this interfacial aggregate cannot be classified as a simple J-aggregate. Moreover, these bands cannot relate to Davydov splitting, given that all of them have the same polarization direction. We propose possible explanations based on a strong exciton–phonon interaction, and/or the formation of aggregates with different coherent lengths within the domain. The basic exciton model cannot explain this behavior. The coherent aggregate described in this study is proposed as a unique dye supramolecular structure obtained by assembly at the air–liquid interface.

Abstract

This dissertation presents and discusses the preparation of molecular wires (MW) candidates that would then be probed for electron transfer properties. These wires are bridged by 1,4-diethynylbenzene derivatives with alkoxy side chains with palladium and ruthenium metal complex termini. Characterization of these compounds was performed by usual spectroscopic techniques like 1H, 13C{1H} and 31P{1H} NMR, MS, FTIR and UV-Vis as well as by cyclic voltammetry which allowed classifying the candidates in the Robin–Day system and determination of bridges side chain and length effects on electronic transport. Preparation of the 1,4-diethynylbenzene derivatives was done with synthetic pathways that relied heavily in palladium catalyzed cross-couplings (Sonogashira). A family of single ringed 1,4-diethynylbenzene ligands with different length alkoxy side chains (OCH3, OC2H5, OC7H15) was thus prepared allowing for the influence of these ring decorations to be assessed. The ruthenium binuclear rods showed communication between metal centres only when the shorter ligands were used whereas the longer Ru complexes showed only one redox pair in CV studies which is in agreement to non-communicating metal centres. Cyclic voltammetry studies show irreversible one wave processes for palladium dinuclear complexes, making these rods function as molecular insulators. Fluorescence decay studies performed on the prepared compounds (ligands and complexes) show a pattern of decreasing decay times upon coordination to the metal centres which can due to ligand charge redistribution upon coordination leading to non-radiative relaxation paths. Regarding the X-ray structures, two new ligand related structures were obtained as well as new structure for a palladium rod. The effect of the side chains was observed to be important to the wires’ electronic properties when comparing with the analogues without a side chain. The effect brought by longer chains is nevertheless almost negligible. Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia e Universidade da Madeira

Abstract

Films of a water-soluble tetracationic porphyrin (TMPyP) and an insoluble phospholipid (DMPA), in a molar ratio TMPyP:DMPA ) 1:4, were transferred onto optically transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes, and cyclic voltammetry and visible spectroscopy were used to detected and quantify the presence of porphyrin on the ITO supports. We found the surface density of porphyrin deposited ranges from that corresponding to a monolayer of porphyrin monomers lying parallel to the electrode surface to the total amount of porphyrin (partially as dimer) present in the compressed monolayer at the air-water interface. Also, the electrochemical properties of the films were analyzed in terms of experimental variables including the nature and concentration of the electrolyte and the scan rate, used to obtain the voltammetric recordings. When the reduction of TMPyP is a two-electron process and the salt concentration moderate, porphyrin remains anchored to the phospholipid film, which makes the system highly stable and reversible in successive oxidation-reduction cycles.

Abstract

A novel pseudospherical fluorinated iridium(iii) derivative, Ir-dye/PF6, [Ir(F2-ppy)2(bpy)]PF6 (F2-ppy = 2-(2,4-difluoro)phenylpyridine, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), has been organized by using a lipid matrix, DMPA (dimyristoyl-phosphatidic acid), in several molar ratios at the air–water interface. The molecular organization of both components and the degree of miscibility in the different mixed films have been inferred by surface techniques such as π–A isotherms, ellipsometry, reflection spectroscopy, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), and IR spectroscopy for the LB films, additionally the results have been discussed according to the additivity rule. The equimolecular Ir-dye/DMPA mixture leads to a totally miscible, stable and homogeneous monolayer. Any surplus of DMPA with respect to the 1 : 1 ratio segregates under compression while forming domains. By varying the surface concentration of DMPA in the mixture we demonstrate that the Ir-dye can be confined to certain regions of the 2D patterned structure formed at the air–water interface. The fraction of surface containing the photofunctional complex can be controlled by both the fraction of lipid in the initial co-spread mixture and the surface pressure applied to the film. Finally, the additivity rule has been applied, for the first time to our knowledge, to simulate the ellipsotherms of mixed monolayers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

46. Dis-aggregation of an insoluble porphyrin in a calixarene matrix: characterization of aggregate modes by extended dipole model.

Author

Abstract

In this paper, the different aggregation modes of a water–insoluble porphyrin (EHO) mixed with an amphiphilic calix[8]arene (C8A), at the air–water interface and in Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film form, are analyzed as a function of the mixed composition. The strategy used to control the EHO aggregation has consisted of preparing mixed thin films containing EHO and C8A, in different ratios, at the air–water interface. Therefore, the increase of the C8A molar ratio in the mixed film diminishes the aggregation of the EHO molecules, although such an effect must be exclusively related to the dilution of the porphyrin. The reflection spectra of the mixed C8A–EHO films registered at the air–water interface, show a complex Soret band exhibiting splitting, hypochromicity and broadening features. Also, during the transfer process at high surface pressure, it has been shown that the EHO molecules are ejected from the C8A monolayer and only a fraction of porphyrin is transferred to the solid support, in spite of a complete transfer for the C8A matrix. The complex structure of the reflection spectra at the air–water interface, as well as the polarization dependence of the absorption spectra for the mixed LB films, indicate the existence of four different arrangements for the EHO hosted in the C8A matrix. The aggregate formation is governed by two factors: the attraction between the porphyrin rings which minimizes their separation, and the alkyl chain interactions, that is, hydrophobic effect and/or steric hindrance which determine and restrict the possible aggregation structures. By using the extended dipole model, the assignment of the spectral peaks observed to different EHO aggregates is shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A water insoluble porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3,4-bis(2-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl]-21H,23H-porphine (EHO) that is highly sensitive to low concentrations of NO2 in nitrogen has been organized at the air–water interface using a host calix[8]arene (C8A) matrix. Different composition ratios of C8A have been studied at the air–water interface to select the optimal composition for obtaining a less aggregated porphyrin in the mixed films. An understanding of the interaction between EHO and C8A has been provided by means of a miscibility study. Mixed monolayers do not follow the additivity rule and the negative deviation from it depends on the molar fraction of the porphyrin in the mixture. Surface pressure–area (π–A) plots expressed per C8A molecule indicate the presence of the porphyrin at the air–water interface at low surface pressure while under further compression the hydrophobic EHO segregates above the C8A matrix. Brewster angle microscopy images of the mixed C8A : EHO monolayers show that the distribution of the EHO molecules at the air–water interface in the C8A matrix is more homogeneous than that observed for the pure EHO monolayer. The reflection spectra reveal the EHO aggregation in the mixed monolayers, although the C8A matrix in those films modifies such aggregation. The effect of the new organization for the EHO molecules in the mixed films is clearly manifested by the enhancement of response (faster), reproducibility (higher), sensitivity (higher) and temperature (wide range, being interesting for industrial applications) during exposure to NO2, in comparison with those results previously obtained for the pure EHO film.

Abstract

High-intensity ultrasound systems for medical therapy must be carefully designed, implemented, and applied to avoid tissue damage or injury considering stimulation and relaxation time, frequency, and intensity of ultrasound. Based on these concerns and considering a test three-layer animal tissue consisting of skin, muscle, and bone, we determined the frequency and intensity at which ultrasound effectively stimulates the test animal tissues. In addition, from these ultrasound frequencies and intensities, and taking care the critical temperature recommended to preserve the integrity of the human tissue and avoid any tissue injury, we determine the stimulation and relaxation times. For this purpose, we performed a multiphysics simulation that describes the spatial and temporal dynamics of the thermoacoustic effect of ultrasound applied to test animal tissues. To practically demonstrate this ultrasound behavior, we perform an experimental setup based on an electronic HITU device designed and implemented to freely adjust the ultrasound intensity and frequency, as well as the stimulation time of the test animal tissues. Finally, we conclude that, depending on the test tissue, an ultrasound therapy system should allow the selection of the intensity and frequency of applied ultrasound, as well as the stimulation time to avoid tissue injury, which can be considered by health ministries around the world.
