Inter- and intramolecular enantioselective carbolithiation reactions

In this review we summarize recent developments in inter- and intramolecular enantioselective carbolithiation reactions carried out in the presence of a chiral ligand for lithium, such as (-)-sparteine, to promote facial selection on a C=C bond. This is an attractive approach for the construction of new carbon-carbon bonds in an asymmetric fashion, with the possibility of introducing further functionalization on the molecule by trapping the reactive organolithium intermediates with electrophiles.

Un inédito de Orixe : el contenido espiritual de la España nacionalista (1938)

[ES] Estudio y edición de un texto desconocido de Orixe en el que, a partir de un episodio autobiográfico —la delación de la que fue objeto en mayo de 1938 y su consiguiente huida al otro lado de la frontera—, trata de mostrar la falsedad del catolicismo de los sublevados en 1936 y la superioridad moral de los nacionalistas vascos. Este nuevo ensayo de Orixe aporta algunas precisiones sobre su biografía pero, sobre todo, constituye un texto único en su bibliografía —próximo, sin embargo, a algunos pasajes de Quiton arrebarekin— en la medida en que recoge una reflexión extensa y sistemática sobre una cuestión entonces crucial para el nacionalismo vasco.

Estudio de la situación actual en las empresas de producción fotovoltaica

[ES]La energía solar fotovoltaica es un sistema de generación eléctrica cada vez más importante entre los países desarrollados. En este contexto, España siempre ha sido una de los países que más ha invertido a lo largo de su historia. En los últimos años, sin embargo, por culpa del déficit tarifario esta situación ha cambiado, implantando medidas para ahorrar costes que a largo plazo deterioran dicho sector. En el trabajo, se presenta un estudio que muestra la actualidad de este tejido empresarial. Para ello, se ha realizado una encuesta a varias empresas, sobre la situación del sector y las perspectivas de crecimiento y desarrollo dentro de ese entorno. Así, se ha concluido con algunas de las consecuencias que pueden suceder debido al cambio de legislación.

Site-Specific Isotopes in Small Organic Molecules

Stable isotope geochemistry is a valuable toolkit for addressing a broad range of problems in the geosciences. Recent technical advances provide information that was previously unattainable or provide unprecedented precision and accuracy. Two such techniques are site-specific stable isotope mass spectrometry and clumped isotope thermometry. In this thesis, I use site-specific isotope and clumped isotope data to explore natural gas development and carbonate reaction kinetics. In the first chapter, I develop an equilibrium thermodynamics model to calculate equilibrium constants for isotope exchange reactions in small organic molecules. This equilibrium data provides a framework for interpreting the more complex data in the later chapters. In the second chapter, I demonstrate a method for measuring site-specific carbon isotopes in propane using high-resolution gas source mass spectrometry. This method relies on the characteristic fragments created during electron ionization, in which I measure the relative isotopic enrichment of separate parts of the molecule. My technique will be applied to a range of organic compounds in the future. For the third chapter, I use this technique to explore diffusion, mixing, and other natural processes in natural gas basins. As time progresses and the mixture matures, different components like kerogen and oil contribute to the propane in a natural gas sample. Each component imparts a distinct fingerprint on the site-specific isotope distribution within propane that I can observe to understand the source composition and maturation of the basin. Finally, in Chapter Four, I study the reaction kinetics of clumped isotopes in aragonite. Despite its frequent use as a clumped isotope thermometer, the aragonite blocking temperature is not known. Using laboratory heating experiments, I determine that the aragonite clumped isotope thermometer has a blocking temperature of 50-100°C. I compare this result to natural samples from the San Juan Islands that exhibit a maximum clumped isotope temperature that matches this blocking temperature. This thesis presents a framework for measuring site-specific carbon isotopes in organic molecules and new constraints on aragonite reaction kinetics. This study represents the foundation of a future generation of geochemical tools for the study of complex geologic systems.

Radioautographic method of determination of number of bacteria in water-bodies [Translation from: Informatsionnyi Byulleten Biologiya Vnutrennikh Vod No.26, 65-67, 1975]

The radioautographic method of determination of the number of autotrophic microorganisms was initially suggested for counting methane-oxidizing bacteria. With the help of this method colonies of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria are differentiated even more clearly from heterotrophic. Under laboratory conditions it was shown that colonies grown on membrane filters from a pure culture of thionic bacteria on a nutrient medium with radio- active carbonate, give better prints on film. This method was tested by the authors for determining the number of these bacteria in the meromictic Lake Vae de San Juan during the expedition to Cuba in the summer of 1973. The study showed that that the thionic bacteria are found throughout the pelagial. It proved that the thionic bacteria can be well considered in water-bodies by the radioautographic method.

A study of the proposed Diamond Creek Reservoir

Politically the Colorado river is an interstate as well as an international stream. Physically the basin divides itself distinctly into three sections. The upper section from head waters to the mouth of San Juan comprises about 40 percent of the total of the basin and affords about 87 percent of the total runoff, or an average of about 15 000 000 acre feet per annum. High mountains and cold weather are found in this section. The middle section from the mouth of San Juan to the mouth of the Williams comprises about 35 percent of the total area of the basin and supplies about 7 percent of the annual runoff. Narrow canyons and mild weather prevail in this section. The lower third of the basin is composed of mainly hot arid plains of low altitude. It comprises some 25 percent of the total area of the basin and furnishes about 6 percent of the average annual runoff.

The proposed Diamond Creek reservoir is located in the middle section and is wholly within the boundary of Arizona. The site is at the mouth of Diamond Creek and is only 16 m. from Beach Spring, a station on the Santa Fe railroad. It is solely a power project with a limited storage capacity. The dam which creats the reservoir is of the gravity type to be constructed across the river. The walls and foundation are of granite. For a dam of 290 feet in height, the back water will be about 25 m. up the river.

The power house will be placed right below the dam perpendicular to the axis of the river. It is entirely a concrete structure. The power installation would consist of eighteen 37 500 H.P. vertical, variable head turbines, directly connected to 28 000 kwa. 110 000 v. 3 phase, 60 cycle generators with necessary switching and auxiliary apparatus. Each unit is to be fed by a separate penstock wholly embedded into the masonry.

Concerning the power market, the main electric transmission lines would extend to Prescott, Phoenix, Mesa, Florence etc. The mining regions of the mountains of Arizona would be the most adequate market. The demand of power in the above named places might not be large at present. It will, from the observation of the writer, rapidly increase with the wonderful advancement of all kinds of industrial development.

All these things being comparatively feasible, there is one difficult problem: that is the silt. At the Diamond Creek dam site the average annual silt discharge is about 82 650 acre feet. The geographical conditions, however, will not permit silt deposites right in the reservoir. So this design will be made under the assumption given in Section 4.

The silt condition and the change of lower course of the Colorado are much like those of the Yellow River in China. But one thing is different. On the Colorado most of the canyon walls are of granite, while those on the Yellow are of alluvial loess: so it is very hard, if not impossible, to get a favorable dam site on the lower part. As a visitor to this country, I should like to see the full development of the Colorado: but how about THE YELLOW!

Aportación a las representaciones de úrsidos en el arte mobiliar magdaleniense

[ES] Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX se realizaron amplias excavaciones arqueológicas en la cueva de Isturitz que aportaron abundantes evidencias industriales y artísticas. En este artículo se trata de dar a la luz una obra de arte mueble que permanece inédita, en concreto una pareja de osos fabricados sobre una costilla, y que procede del nivel magdaleniense de la colección Saint-Périer.

La edición de glosas y comentarios medievales: el caso del “Commentum Monacense” a Terencio

[ES] Los conjuntos de glosas conservados en los mss. medievales representan a menudo la culminación de sucesivos y complicados procesos de fragmentación, reagrupación o/y reelaboración. Debido a su inestabilidad, estos conjuntos constituyen composiciones únicas, por lo que a la hora de editarlos la mejor opción consiste en partir del material conservado en un solo ms., sin utilizar varios testimonios para tratar de reconstruir un texto cuya existencia es meramente conjetural. Este proceder no excluye la posibilidad de recurrir al contenido de otros mss. que transmiten glosas similares a aquellas que forman el conjunto que uno trata de editar y, de hecho, en los casos en los que el contenido de este último resulta problemático o manifiestamente defectuoso, el recurso a estos testimonios paralelos es, más que una posibilidad, una exigencia. El análisis de las dos ediciones del "Commentum Monacense" a Terencio confeccionadas hasta la fecha —la de F. Schlee y la de F. Schorsch— nos proporciona algunos ejemplos concretos al respecto.

Studying the influence of substitutional elements on mechanical behavior of Alloy 718

In nickel-based superalloys, substitutional solute species have a strong impact on in service mechanical properties as well as on oxidation and corrosion resistances. In alloy 718, recent studies carried out by tensile tests highlighted the fact that refractory solute species are able to interact strongly with mobile dislocations during plastic deformation, generating dynamic strain ageing, and, in wide ranges of tests temperatures and strain rates, Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. The precise nature of the substitutional element responsible for such a dynamic interaction is still subject to debate. We addressed this question by means of mechanical spectroscopy studies of alloy 718 and various related alloys corresponding to monitored changes in the chemical composition. Only a single internal friction relaxation peak has been observed for all the studied alloys. By analyzing the damping behavior of these alloys at different imposed solicitation frequencies by sweeping a large temperatures range, the activation energies of the relaxation process and the type of mechanism involved have been determined. The process is a "Zener relaxation" in the alloys, i.e. a substitutional atoms dipole reorientation under applied stress. The results tend to prove that Niobium is not involved in the relaxation process whereas Molybdenum content seems to play an important role in the relaxation intensity.
