In this review, a comparison between the Lewis acid catalysed and organocatalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is presented with special focus on the enantioselective synthesis of five-membered hetero- or carbocyclic systems, is described. These reactions exhibit very interesting features, but the most…

Different kinds of disorders of sex development (DSD) have been observed in athletes from different countries along the history of sport. The detection of an abnormal chromosomal pattern or gonadal dysgenesis has been always associated to the gender verification tests…

The purpose of this study was of two-folds, firstly, to evaluate the anthropometric profile of Indian inter-university volleyball players and, secondly, to search the correlation of body mass index, % body fat, hand grip strength (right dominant) and Vo2max. with…

Physical exercise is known to have beneficial effects on healthy individuals, but there are insufficient data concerning the effects of physical exercise in chronic end-stage kidney failure patients on haemodialysis. The aim of this study is to assess the effects…

The purpose of this pilot study was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Diabetic Care Teacher Support Questionnaire, a 31-item self-report instrument to assess diabetic children’s perceptions of the diabetes specific support received from their teachers at…

In a previous study, we investigated, at a laboratory scale, the chemical activation of two different carbon fibres (CF), their porosity characterization, and their optimization for hydrogen storage [1]. In the present work, this study is extended to: (i) a…

A new microwave assisted desolvation system based on the use of a TM010 cavity (MWDS2) has been developed and evaluated in plasma based analytical techniques: inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The…

This paper presents recent advances in the areas of modeling, design, and fabrication of microwave filters for space applications. A fast and accurate hybrid analysis method, combining boundary integral resonant mode expansion (BI-RME) and integral equation (IE) techniques, is described.…

To analyze the present status of rheumatological research in Spain, three indicators have been evaluated: use of the difference study designs, use of statistical techniques and relevance of the studies. This last point was determined by the comparison of the…

The Workshop of Physical Agents intends to be a forum for information and experience exchange in different areas regarding the concept of agent in physical environments, especially applied to the control and coordination of autonomous systems: robots, mobile robots, industrial…
