Synthesis and magnetic properties of silica-coated FePt nanocrystals
No full textColloidal FePt nanocrystals, 6 nm in diameter, were synthesized and then coated with silica (SiO(2)) shells. The silica shell thickness could be varied from 10 to 25 nm. As-made FePt@SiO(2) nanocrystals have low magnetocrystalline anisotropy due to a compositionally disordered FePt core. When films of FePt@SiO(2) particles are annealed under hydrogen at 650 degrees C or above, the FePt core transforms to the compositionally ordered L1(0) phase, and superparamagnetic blocking temperatures exceeding room temperature are obtained. The SiO(2) shell prevents FePt coalescence at annealing temperatures up to similar to 850 degrees C. Annealing under air or nitrogen does not induce the FePt phase transition. The silica shell limits magnetic dipole coupling between the FePt nanocrystals; however, low temperature (5 K) and room temperature magnetization scans show slightly constricted hysteresis loops with coercivities that decrease systematically with decreased shell thickness, possibly resulting from differences in magnetic dipole coupling between particles

To <i>JM</i> on Its 75th Anniversary
No full text This article discusses how Journal of Marketing ( JM) has influenced marketing science and practice by publishing articles on substantive topics relevant to customers, managers, organizations, markets, and society. The journal's 75th anniversary coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Marketing Science Institute (MSI). Frequently, JM and MSI have collaborated to address important substantive marketing issues identified in MSI's Research Priorities. The author highlights seminal articles on brand equity; business-to-business marketing (including sales force management); connecting marketing information, metrics, and strategy; consumer behavior; innovation, new product development. and product management; marketing orientation and capabilities; and market research, methodology and services. She also draws attention to articles that have won the Sheth Foundation/ JM Award and the H. Paul Root Award. The article describes how JM‘s knowledge dissemination is amplified by powerful social network effects. Ideas in JM articles diffuse through the business community, influencing the mind-set of managers worldwide. </jats:p
Características petrográficas y datación U/Th de una calcreta laminar Cuaternaria: Implicaciones de la captura de la Cuenca de Guadix-Baza por el río Guadalquivir.
No full textThe Guadix topographic depression is a Neogene-Quaternary basin located in the central sector of the Betic Cordillera at the boundary between the South Iberian margin and the Alboran domain. This topographic depression is a plateau with an average elevation of 1000 m in the northern limb of the Sierra Nevada range. The continental deposits infilling the Guadix basin span time from the late Tortonian to the Pleistocene, when a laminar calcrete developed on fine to coarse-grained fluvial and lacustrine deposits. Four coeval subsamples from the top laminae of the calcrete were collected and dated by the U/Th method. The resulting date is 42.6 ± 5.6 ka, which indicates the minimum age for the cessation of active sedimentation in the Guadix basin. We envisage the capture of the Pliocene-Pleistocene endorheic Guadix basin by the Guadalquivir River after 42 ka as the main factor triggering the formation of the present-day eroded landscape. After the capture, the combination of climatic (wet periods), lithological (soft and loose sediments), and topographic (high average altitude) features allowed the development of the present-day entrenched drainage pattern
Análisis de la erosión diferencial en el pleistoceno superior para las subcuencas de Guadix y Baza.
No full textErosion rates in the Guadix-Baza basin have been calculated drawing on a volumetric estimation of sediment loss by river erosion since the late Pleistocene. On this purpose we have performed a reconstruction of the glacis surface dated in 42.6 ka and defined by a calcrete layer that capes the basin infilling. In order to support this age, we presented new 14C radiometric data of three travertine platforms formed later to the beginning of the river entrenchment in the basin and a U/Th dating of a lower calcrete situated some meters below the glacis surface. By comparing the reconstructed geomorphic surface and the present day topography we have calculated the volume of sediment lost by hidric erosion in the entire basin. The resulting erosion rates are between 4.28 and 6.57 m3ha-1yr-1. Individual erosion rates for Guadix and Baza sub-basins (11.80 m3ha-1yr-1 and 1.77 m3ha-1yr-1 respectively) suggest different stages of drainage pattern evolution in both sub-basins. We attribute part of the lower values obtained in the Baza sub-basin as related to the down-throwing due to very recent activity along the Baza fault
JM-20, a Benzodiazepine-Dihydropyridine Hybrid Molecule, Inhibits the Formation of Alpha-Synuclein-Aggregated Species
No full text\ua9 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Studies showed that JM-20, a benzodiazepine-dihydropyridine hybrid molecule, protects against rotenone and 6-hydroxydopamine neurotoxicity. However, its protective effects against cytotoxicity induced by endogenous neurotoxins involved in Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis have never been investigated. In this study, we evaluated the ability of JM-20 to inhibit alpha-synuclein (aSyn) aggregation. We also evaluated the interactions of JM-20 with aSyn by molecular docking and molecular dynamics and assessed the protective effect of JM-20 against aminochrome cytotoxicity. We demonstrated that JM-20 induced the formation of heterogeneous amyloid fibrils, which were innocuous to primary cultures of mesencephalic cells. Moreover, JM-20 reduced the average size of aSyn positive inclusions in H4 cells transfected with SynT wild-type and synphilin-1-V5, but not in HEK cells transfected with synphilin-1-GFP. In silico studies showed the interaction between JM-20 and the aSyn-binding site. Additionally, we showed that JM-20 protects SH-SY5Y cells against aminochrome cytotoxicity. These results reinforce the potential of JM-20 as a neuroprotective compound for PD and suggest aSyn as a molecular target for JM-20

Abstract
Infertility due to the inability of the uterus to carry a pregnancy ranks among the most unresolved issues in reproductive medicine. It affects millions of women worldwide who have congenital or acquired uterine affections, often requiring hysterectomy, and potentially represents a considerable fraction of the general infertile population. Patients suffering from severe uterine infertility are currently compelled to go through gestational surrogacy or adoption; both approaches, unfortunately, deprive them of the maternal experience of pregnancy and birth. Uterine transplantation represents an outstanding, yet complex, perspective to alleviating definitive uterine infertility. In the past decades, a number of scientific experiments conducted both in animals and women, focusing on uterine transplantation, have led to promising results. Collectively, these findings undoubtedly constitute a sound basis to clinically apply uterine transplantation in the near future. This paper is, however, an overview not only of the extent and limitations of accumulated scientific knowledge on uterine transplantation, but also its ethical implications, in an effort to define the actual place of such an approach among the therapeutic arsenal for alleviating infertility.

Translation and interpretation: Translation redundancy reconsidered
No full textInterpretation is an integral part of the process of translating. This article raises the question of whether interpretation fo a literary work by a translator should be guided by extratextual factors or not. The discussion is illustrated with examples taken from David Hawkes' translation of a Chinese classic, A Dream of Red Mansions. As the work of a scholar-translator, Hawkes' version is richly supplemented with disclosures concerning the characters and explanations of the cultural environment embodied in the novel. In many cases, however, this translation procedure is redundant and explanatory, enlightening the readers but at the same time robbing them of the pleasure of literary interpretation and cultural exploration. By means of this illustration of translation redundancy, the author points out that there is difference between a scholar who helps the interpretation fo a work and a translator who presents a work close to its original version. It is particularly important to pay attention tot his difference in literary translations in a cross-cultural situation involving two enormously different cultures.Language & LinguisticsA&HCI0ARTICLE1,SI115-12
