    The paper aims to examine the theological dimensions present in the quantum-informational panpsychist approach to nature, conceived by Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano and Federico Faggin, and based on the informational interpretation of quantum physics. In particular, the similarities and differences between the One of Faggin and the God of Christian theology, as well as between human seity and Christian theological anthropology, are highlighted.L’articolo si propone di esaminare le dimensioni teologiche dell’approccio panpsichista quantistico-informazionale sulla natura, ideato da Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano e da Federico Faggin e basato sull’interpretazione informazionale della fisica quantistica.

    N,O versus O,O coordination in beta-imino diketonato complexes: Role of the metal center and of the imino substituent

    beta-Imino carbonyl enolato metal(II) complexes of general formula [M((RCO)(R'CO)CC(R '') NH)(2)] (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, R = R' = Me, R '' = CCl(3); M = Cu, Pd, R = R' = Me, R '' = PhCO; R = Me, R' = Ph, R '' = PhCO; R = R' = Ph, R '' = PhCO) are easily synthesized by the reaction of metal(II) acetates with the proper beta-enaminodiones in 1/2 molar ratio in ethanol at room temperature. In all the cases the trifunctional NOO beta-imino carbonyl enolate ligand acts as bidentate to give ML(2) complexes, whose structure depends on the metal center and on the nature of the substituent R '' at the imino carbon. With R '' = CCl(3) an O,O coordination is observed for all the metal centers but one, in fact palladium(II) exhibits an N,O coordination through the imino nitrogen and one keto oxygen. By contrast with R '' = PhCO the ligand is always coordinated through the imino nitrogen and one keto oxygen atom

    A series of palladium(II) and nickel(II) [ML(2)] complexes (1-6: 1, Pd, L(Me); 2, Pd, L(iBu); 3, Pd, L(nBu): 4, Pd, L(nHe); 5, Ni, L(Me); 6, Ni, L(iBu)) has been synthesised by reacting the proper acetato salt with the beta-enamino ketoesters (MeCO)(MeOCO)C=C(NH(2))R (R = Me, i-Bu, n-Bu, n-hexyl). The chain length has practically no effect on the output of the synthetic procedure so that complexes are obtained always in good yields. They are all square planar and the potentially tridentate ligand is coordinated via the N,O donor atoms of the imino and keto groups. Their thermal behaviour has been fully studied and [Ni(L(Me))(2)] demonstrated to be a convenient precursor for the Metal Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition of Ni and NiO thin films

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
