A simple system to measure the magnetic susceptibility of different materials is presented. The system uses an analytical scale with sensitivity on the order of micrograms and a permanent NdBFe magnet, based in the Rankine method. In this apparatus, the sample is placed near to the magnet that is fixed on the scale. Depending on the magnetic properties of the sample, an attractive or repulsive force will appear between the magnet and the magnetizing sample. Measuring this force, registered by the scale as a mass, the magnetic parameters such as: permeability and susceptibility of the sample can be determined. Despite it is simplicity the method is quantitative, precise and easily reproducible in many laboratories, what makes it attractive for teaching experiments.

The literature carries many theories about the mechanism of action of local anesthetics (LA). We can highlight those focusing the direct effect of LA on the sodium channel protein and the ones that consider the interaction of anesthetic molecules with the lipid membrane phase. The interaction between local anesthetics and human erythrocyte membranes has been studied by ¹H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It was found that lidocaine (LDC) and benzocaine (BZC) bind to the membranes, increase the mobility of the protons of the phospholipid's acyl chains, and decrease the mobility and/or change the structure of the polar head groups. The results indicate that lidocaine molecules are inserted across the polar and liquid interface of the membrane, establishing both electrostatic (charged form) and hydrophobic (neutral form) interactions. Benzocaine locates itself a little deeper in the bilayer, between the interfacial glycerol region and the hydrophobic core. These changes in mobility or conformation of membrane lipids could affect the Na+-channel protein insertion in the bilayer, stabilizing it in the inactivated state, thus causing anesthesia.

Coffee is one of the beverages most widely consumed in the world and the "cafezinho" is normally prepared from a blend of roasted powder of two species, Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Each one exhibits differences in their taste and in the chemical composition, especially in the caffeine percentage. There are several procedures proposed in the literature for caffeine determination in different samples like soft drinks, coffee, medicines, etc but most of them need a sample workup which involves at least one step of purification. This work describes the quantitative analysis of caffeine using ¹H NMR and the identification of the major components in commercial coffee samples using 1D and 2D NMR techniques without any sample pre-treatment.

Desde el s. XVIII todas las ciudades se plantean uno de los cambios fundamentales en la estructura de su paisaje. El aumento de población y de actividad económica conlleva la desaparición de las calles térreas y su sustitución por las calles que segregan la acera, convertida en la estructura de soporte de los servicios, de la calzada como espacio de circulación rodada. En Lisboa se extiende la pavimentación de la calzad a según el 'systema Portuguez' con piedras irregulares de basalto sobre arena y ya en 1834, se configura el 'Pelouro das Calçadas' responsable de experimentar, primero, el sistema 'macadam' (c. 1839) y, posterior y paulatinamente, de introducir el asfalto. º La acera, es tratada con losas de calcáreo que, sobre todo, a partir del último tercio de siglo serán substituidas por el 'empedrado ordinario á portuguesa' en piedra calcárea. Una derivación será el 'empedrado dito de mosaico'. Experimentado por Eusebio Pinheiro Furtado en el Castillo de São Jorge (1842), va a extenderse por la ciudad, especialmente, desde la pavimentación del 'Mar Largo' en el Rossio (1848). Así, con ocasión de la ampliación de las aceras del largo de Camões, Augusto César dos Santos, Inspector da Admistração das Calçadas expresa la política de substitución del enlosado por el empedrado 'O sistema a empregar no empedramento destos passeios, deverá ser mozaico, não só pela beleza que apresenta, como por ser uma especialidade nesta cidade, beleza que se pode levar ao efeito escolhendose um padrão simples que pela sua importância não exceda os 500‐600$ o metro superficial' (Cesar dos Santos 1869). Finalmente, en 1895 la Câmara Municipal decretará el uso del 'empedrado á portuguesa' en toda nueva pavimentación y reconstrucción de las aceras. Los sitios representativos de la ciudad se cualifican artísticamente con este modo de hacer tan característico e identitario, no en vano lo podríamos entender como una de las primeras producciones de arte público en el sentido contemporáneo del término. Este sistema de pavimentación se extiende por Portugal y se internacionaliza en España, cuando Júlio César Augusto Cordeiro patenta en Madrid (1895) el 'mosaico portugués' que cristalizará en las aceras laterales del Paseo de San Juan en Barcelona (1896) -antes de la Exposición de París de 1900, de la praça de São Sebastião de Manaus, de las avenidas Rio Branco y Atlántica de Río de Janeiro- llegando a convivir con las farolas modernitas que Pere Falqués diseñó para el 'Cincd'oros' barcelonés. La calçada á portuguesa forma parte de la identidad de Lisboa y afecta a la imagen de marca de la ciudad. Sin embargo, a pesar de su valor identitario y artístico, la calçada está en peligro de muerte. El pavimento -forma entre ellos la 'calçada-forma' está en la base de algunas de las operaciones emblemáticas de construcción de la imagen de la ciudad (La Habana, 1928; Alicante, 1957; las Ramblas de Barcelona, 1969; la reforma de la Avenida Atlántica de Río por Burle Marx, 1970). Sin embargo, estas mismas operaciones demuestran que la 'forma-calçada' no responde a muchos de los requisitos de economía, seguridad o accesibilidad universal que exige la ciudad contemporánea. En el artículo planteamos analizar los motivos y razones que planean sobre la muerte anunciada de la calçada á portuguesa.

During the last five decades, as a result of an interaction between natural product chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology and spectroscopy, scientists reached an extraordinary level of comprehension about the natural processes by which living organisms build up complex molecules. In this context, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, allied with isotopic labeling, played a determinant role. Nowadays, the widespread use of modern NMR techniques allows an even more detailed picture of the biochemical steps by accurate manipulation of the atomic nuclei. This article focuses on the development of such techniques and their impact on biosynthetic studies.

La competitividad emergente entre destinos turísticos ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de enfatizar las estrategias de comunicación –con el fin de crear un valor añadido intangible para el potencial cliente- encaminadas a crear una imagen favorable de los espacios que se pretenden promocionar, mediante el diseño de acciones de comunicación con objetivos que van más allá del mero interés promocional o informativo. En este sentido, tanto los emplazamientos que conciben el turismo como una solución de diversificación económica (destinos emergentes), como las localizaciones geográficas que ya disponen de una cierta solera en relación a su tradición turística (destinos maduros), aúnan esfuerzos en aras de consolidar una identidad territorial acorde con sus posibilidades turísticas. Si además se tiene en cuenta que, en la actualidad, el consumo de imágenes percibidas a priori representa, de antemano, un primer viaje simbólico previo a un posterior viaje real, se puede llegar a vislumbrar el papel decisivo que desempeña la interpretación del consumidor (creación de imaginarios individuales y colectivos) en un escenario global de comercialización del territorio. Por tanto, el valor añadido en una situación de dura competencia entre destinos, radica en los valores que se asocian a la imagen de marca turística, que representa la primera carga de sensaciones y emociones que percibe el potencial turista y/o visitante antes de decidirse por uno u otro destino.

This work describes novel materials based on pure iron oxide and iron oxide/niobia composite to produce a magnetic adsorbent. These materials were prepared with synthetic iron oxide and characterized by powder XRD, SEM, FTIR, TPR and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Results showed that the main iron oxides formed were goethite (aFeOOH) and maghemite (gFe2O3) with small particle size. The iron oxide and iron oxide/niobia composite showed high adsorption ability for organic compounds. The positive enthalpy indicated an endothermic adsorption process suggesting physical adsorption.

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are products of the acid-base setting reaction between an finely fluoro-alumino silicate glass powder and poly(acrylic acid) in aqueous solution. The sol gel method is an adequate route of preparation of the glasses used to obtain the GICs. The objective of this paper was to compare two powders: a commercial and an experimental and to investigate the structural changes during hardening of the cements by FTIR and Al MAS NMR. These analyses showed that the experimental glass powder reacted with organic acid to form the GICs and it is a promising material to manufacture dental cements.

In this work, ¹H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H NMR) was employed to evaluate changes in apple juice in response to the addition of Panzym® Yieldmash and Ultrazym® AFP-L enzymatic complexes and compare it with premium apple juice. The juice was processed at different temperatures and concentrations of enzymatic complexes. The differences in the results were attributed mainly to the enzyme concentrations, since temperature did not cause any variation. A quantitative analysis indicated that the concentration of fructose increased while the concentrations of sucrose and glucose decreased in response to increasing concentrations of the enzymatic complexes.

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a technique that is widely used for elucidating and characterizing organic substances. Organofluorine substances have applications in many areas from drugs to liquid crystals, but their NMR spectra are often challenging due to fluoride coupling with other nuclei. For this reason, NMR spectra of this class of substances are not commonly covered in undergraduate and graduate chemistry courses and related fields. Thus, the aim of this work was the presentation and discussion of 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR spectra of eleven organofluorine substances which, in the case of 1H and 13C nuclei, showed classic patterns of first-order coupling and the effects of the fluorine nucleus in different chemical and magnetic environments. In addition, the observation of long distance coupling constants was possible through the use of apodization functions in the processing of the spectra. It is expected that the examples presented herein can be utilized and discussed in undergraduate and graduate NMR spectroscopy disciplines and thus improve the teaching and future research of organofluorine compounds.
