Magnesium-based cement is a very interesting eco-sustainable alternative to standard cements.
Latrophilins (LPHNs) are a small family of neuronal adhesion-GPCRs originally discovered as receptors for the black widow spider toxin α-latrotoxin. Mutations in LPHN3 have recently been identified risk factors attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) humans, but their physiological function has remained elusive. In this study, we tested two hypotheses regarding function: (1) regulates synaptic transmission by modulating probability release; and (2) controls synapse development...
The peculiar mechanism of cooperative CO 2 adsorption in a perfluorinated Ce IV -based metal–organic framework with MIL-140 topology is disclosed using combination experimental and computational methods.
We present a semiempirical Hamiltonian that provides an accurate description of the first singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces azobenzene for use in direct simulations excited-state dynamics. The parameterization made spectroscopic thermochemical data best ab initio results available to date. Two-dimensional based on constrained geometry optimizations are presented states most relevant photochemistry azobenzene, namely, S(0), S(1), S(2). In order run photodynamics hydrocarbons or...
The characterization of the structural and dynamic properties rubber networks is fundamental importance in science technology to design materials with optimized mechanical properties. In this work, natural isoprene obtained by curing at three different temperatures (140, 150, 170 °C) sulfur contents (1, 2, 3 phr) presence a phr accelerator were studied using combination low-field time-domain NMR (TD-NMR) techniques, including 1H multiple-quantum experiments for measurement residual dipolar...
Abstract A molecular-level understanding of the structure polymeric network formed upon curing air-drying artists’ oil paints still represents a challenge. In this study we used set analytical methodologies classically employed for characterisation paint film—based on infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry—in combination with solid state NMR (SSNMR), to characterise model layers which present different behaviours towards surface cleaning water, commonly applied procedure in art...
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) hosts lone pairs arising from broken carbon-nitrogen bonds in its heptazine structure. These strongly localized and weakly hybridized states form ultraflat bands, potentially leading to correlated when doped. Using first-principles calculations, we show that field-effect hole doping single-layer g-C3N4 depletes these pairs, unveiling a rich phase diagram with complex interplay of superconducting, half-metallic, insulating ferromagnetic phases, even at very...
This work aims at characterizing for the first time 31P spin interactions determining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) properties of solid black phosphorus (bP) and its few-layer exfoliated form (fl-bP). Indeed, knowledge these is still very poor, despite great interest received by this layered allotrope 2D form, phosphorene. By combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations solid-state NMR experiments on suspensions fl-bP nanoflakes bP, it has been possible to characterize...
The dynamics of CO2 was investigated in two ultramicroporous perfluorinated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), F4_MIL-140A(Ce) and F4_UiO-66(Ce), that share the same linker (tetrafluoroterephthalate) metal (CeIV) but have different topologies. displays an S-shaped adsorption isotherm associated with mechanism including interaction CeIV open site a structural rearrangement linkers. belonging to one most MOF families literature, shows Langmuir-like hinting at no specific strong interactions...
Thick successions of basalt and basaltic-andesite lavas flows were extruded during continental break-up they cover pre-existing sedimentary basins often interest for hydrocarbon exploration. With conventional seismic acquisition processing methods, it is difficult to image both the internal architecture volcanic succession as well underlying sub-basalt structure. The use synthetic data can help us understand poor imaging quality develop effective approaches useful real data. Moreover,...
