Alvarez v. State of Nevada, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 79 (Dec. 19, 2024)
No full textIn Alvarez v. State, the court reaffirmed precedent from cases such as Jackson v. State, which established that a defendant cannot face multiple convictions for offenses that are considered mutually exclusive, when they arise under the same facts. In reversing Alvarez’s conviction for grand larceny, the court held that convicting him twice for the same incident violated the Double Jeopardy Clause. However, it upheld the trial court’s decision concerning the denial of a motion to suppress and prosecutorial misconduct during grand jury proceedings
Microbial enrichment culture responsible for the complete oxidative biodegradation of 3‑Amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO), the reduced daughter product of the insensitive munitions compound 3‑Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO)
No full text3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is one of the main ingredients of many insensitive munitions, which are being used as replacements for conventional explosives. As its use becomes widespread, more research is needed to assess its environmental fate. Previous studies have shown that NTO is biologically reduced to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO). However, the final degradation products of ATO are still unknown. We have studied the aerobic degradation of ATO by enrichment cultures derived from the soil. After multiple transfers, ATO degradation was monitored in closed bottles through measurements of inorganic carbon and nitrogen species. The results indicate that the members of the enrichment culture utilize ATO as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. As ATO was mineralized to CO₂, N₂, and NH₄⁺, microbial growth was observed in the culture. Co-substrates addition did not increase the ATO degradation rate. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that the organisms that enriched using ATO as carbon and nitrogen source were Terrimonas spp., Ramlibacter-related spp., Mesorhizobium spp., Hydrogenophaga spp., Ralstonia spp., Pseudomonas spp., Ectothiorhodospiraceae, and Sphingopyxis. This is the first study to report the complete mineralization of ATO by soil microorganisms, expanding our understanding of natural attenuation and bioremediation of the explosive NTO.Journal ArticleFinal article publishe
Recent Advancements in the Utilization of s-Block Organometallic Reagents in Organic Synthesis with Sustainable Solvents
No full textThis mini-review offers a comprehensive overview of the advancements made over the last three years in utilizing highly polar s-block organometallic reagents (specifically, RLi, RNa and RMgX compounds) in organic synthesis run under bench-type reaction conditions. These conditions involve exposure to air/moisture and are carried out at room temperature, with the use of sustainable solvents as reaction media. In the examples provided, the adoption of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) or even water as non-conventional and protic reaction media has not only replicated the traditional chemistry of these organometallic reagents in conventional and toxic volatile organic compounds under Schlenk-type reaction conditions (typically involving low temperatures of −78 °C to 0 °C and a protective atmosphere of N2 or Ar), but has also resulted in higher conversions and selectivities within remarkably short reaction times (measured in s/min). Furthermore, the application of the aforementioned polar organometallics under bench-type reaction conditions (at room temperature/under air) has been extended to other environmentally responsible reaction media, such as more sustainable ethereal solvents (e.g., CPME or 2-MeTHF). Notably, this innovative approach contributes to enhancing the overall sustainability of s-block-metal-mediated organic processes, thereby aligning with several key principles of Green Chemistry
Readout and Data Acquisition in the NEXT-NEW Detector based on SRS-ATCA
No full textThe Scalable Readout System (SRS) was defined by the CERN RD51 Collaboration as a multi-channel, scalable readout platform for a wide range of front ends. In 2014, SRS was ported to the ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) standard. NEXT is an underground experiment aimed at searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay. NEXT-DEMO, a small-scale demonstrator, was read-out using SRS. NEXT has adopted SRS-ATCA for its first stage, called NEXT-NEW. Our presentation will describe the readout, DAQ and trigger for NEXT-NEW based on SRS-ATCA. This is, to our knowledge, the first experiment operating entirely on SRS-ATCA.Esteve Bosch, R.; Toledo Alarcón, JF.; Rodriguez, J.; Querol, M.; Alvarez, V. (2016).

HJHS 2.1 and HEAD-US assessment in the hemophilic joints: How do their findings compare?
No full text: In hemophilic patients methods are needed to better diagnose joint damage early, so that treatments can be adjusted to slow the progression of hemophilic arthropathy. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Hemophilia Joint Health Score version 2.1 (HJHS 2.1) and hemophilia early arthropathy detection with ultrasound (HEAD-US) scales, as well as each of their individual items, to better understand the value each provides on the joint condition of patients with hemophilia. The study included data from patients with hemophilia older than 16 years of age, who attended a routine check-up. HJHS 2.1 and HEAD-US assessments were performed on the elbows, knees and ankles. We studied the correlations and agreements between the two scales and analyzed the relationship between the various items of the HJHS 2.1 (inflammation, duration, atrophy, crepitation, flexion deficit, extension deficit, pain, strength, gait) and HEAD-US (synovitis, cartilage and bone). The study included 203 joints from 66 patients with hemophilia (mean age, 34 years). We found a good correlation between the two scales (r = 0.717). However, HJHS 2.1 revealed only 54% of the cases with synovitis and 75% of the cases with osteochondral damage. HEAD-US detected several relevant physical and functional aspects in less than 53% of the cases. HJHS 2.1 and HEAD-US provide complementary data on joint disease in adults with hemophilia; both assessments should therefore, be made available. HEAD-US presented the added value of detecting early joint changes (synovitis and osteochondral damage), while HJHS 2.1 showed the added value of detecting relevant physical and functional changes

A medical dictionary for personal usage: the Latin-Low German glossary on fol. 179r-204r of Copenhagen, Royal Library, GKS 1663 4to
No full textCopenhagen, GKS 1663 4to, a composite manuscript dating back to the end of the 15th century (fol. 207-225) and the early 16th century (fol. 1-206 and 226-241), is a collection of Low German medical and mainly surgical texts (Cordes 1983: 370) including, among others, a fragment of a translation of Hans von Gersdorff’s Feldtbuch der Wundarzney (Dat velt bock), Dat kinder bock, a collection of recipes for the preparation of unguents and a practica (Borchling 1900: 53). As previous research on the Velt bock has shown, the manuscript must have been compiled by a competent scribe – maybe a surgeon – who collected a series of interesting texts making them available for his own later consultation.
In this study, the alphabetically ordered Latin-Low German glossary on medical terms and phrases on fol. 179r-204r is taken into consideration paying attention not only to the selection of the Latin headwords and the choice of their vernacular rendering(s), but also to their relation to the medical and surgical terminology employed in the texts included in Copenhagen, GKS 1663 4to.
Furthermore, the possible dependence from other existing reference works and, in particular, from the three glossaries (anatomy, pathology and medical herbs) in addendum to Hans von Gersdorff’s Feldtbuch der Wundarzney is investigated, in order to ascertain to what extent the compiler of Copenhagen, GKS 1663 4to integrated his sources with his own experience and knowledge
