With ab-initio calculation carried out the analysis of the electronic properties of the topaz in its fundamental state, with different concentrations of Fluorina (F^(-)) and Hidroxilo (OH^(-)) ions, using the package TB-LMTO-ASA. This compound presents optic properties in its natural form with different concentrations of [F^(-),OH^(-)], as well as to the interaction with ionizing radiation. As a result we will have that as much the total energy as the gap fall in non lineal form to the increase of OH ions, being the topaz with 100% F is but stable that the topaz with OH^(-). Product of this increase takes place a phase transformation, increasing of volume and lowering the energy of Ferrni.

Using the base "Augmented Spherical Waves (ASW)" the quantities are calculated and discuss "Orbital Crystal Overlap Population (COOP)" and "Orbital Crystal Hamiltonian Population (COHP)" that give information about the formation of states bonding and antibond1ng and consequently on the stability in the system YBa2Cu3O7. The calculation realizes in the reg1on of the crystalline cell that it shows superconductivity. There is demonstrated that in the region is highly unstable in the state not superconductor with a great quantity of states antibonding lor below and in the energy of Fermi E(F). This situation can induce a transit1on of local phase to the state superconductor.

Con datos hidrográficos de dos prospecciones, realizadas en marzo y setiembre 2014, se describe la hidrografía y estratificación en la bahía de Miraflores (BM) asociadas a condiciones cálidas y frías en ambos periodos. En marzo se presentó una condición estratificada y cálida, con máximos valores de frecuencia de Brunt Väisälä (FBV) y de vorticidad potencial (VP); asimismo la termoclina, haloclina y picnoclina fueron pronunciadas, debido principalmente a la mayor radiación solar recibida. En setiembre, la columna de agua fue más homogénea y fría con presencia de una capa de mezcla débil y somera. La distribución de la temperatura potencial, salinidad y densidad potencial tuvo una relación directa con la estacionalidad y con la configuración de la bahía en el aspecto espacial. Se espera que los resultados obtenidos en el presente estudio contribuyan a un conocimiento...

Cyanidation (leaching with cyanide) is a common yet complex surface process in hydrometallurgical practice, and its effectiveness in extracting the metal of interest is often affected by the nature of the mineralogical species that are present. Little is known about surface processes on acanthite (a silver sulfide) and how its various facets respond to cyanidation in aqueous solution. Therefore, in this work, some properties of both bulk acanthite (Ag2S) and its (001), (022), and (1̅21) surface facets have been studied by density-functional-theory (DFT)-based calculations to elucidate reactivity trends and competitive adsorption (initial stages in the surface process of cyanidation) between cyanide and other species present in the leaching liquor. It is found that CN– binds by its C-end to silver sites on the acanthite surface with adsorption energy similar to that of OH– but strong...

Se presenta en el presente trabajo las características principales del alambique modificado de acero inoxidable a nivel de laboratorio, construido en un proyecto de investigación del año 2014. La puesta en funcionamiento se hicieron con ensayos de mosto fermentado de uva quebranta proveniente del Valle de Lunahuana, Cañete, obteniéndose pisco de aceptable calidad.

Aim: This retrospective study determined features associated with brain metastasis (BM) in women with breast cancer. Patients & methods: A total of 215 initially early breast cancer cases were included. We reviewed files and CT scan images of BM. Results: Median age was 47 years and most of our cases were stage III (58.6%), grade III (62.8%), ER negative (62.3%) and nonluminal (59.1%). Median survival after BM was 4 months. Nonluminal, extracranial disease, time to CNS shorter than 15 months, >three brain lesions and poor breast-graded prognostic assessment and recursive partitioning analysis scores were associated with shorter survival. Adding extracranial disease to breast-graded prognostic assessment score also predicted survival after BM. Radiation response was assessed in 57 patients and response tended to be associated with nonluminal phenotype but not with survival. Conclusion: Fa...

YBa2Cu3(O)7-x thin film sample was studied by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The investigation involved aspects like crystal orientation, uniformity, secondary phases, impurities, oxygen content and defects, based on the speciftc Raman selection rules for YBa2Cu3(O)7-x and polarized Raman scattering experiments.

The eruption of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano on 15 January 2022 significantly impacted the lower and upper atmosphere globally. Using multi-instrument observations, we described disturbances from the sea surface to the ionosphere associated with atmospheric waves generated by the volcanic eruption. Perturbations were detected in atmospheric pressure, horizontal magnetic field, equatorial electrojet (EEJ), ionospheric plasma drifts, total electron content (TEC), mesospheric and lower thermospheric (MLT) neutral winds, and ionospheric virtual height measured at low magnetic latitudes in the western South American sector (mainly in Peru). The eastward Lamb wave propagation was observed at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory on the day of the eruption at 13:50 UT and on its way back from the antipodal point (westward) on the next day at 07:05 UT. Perturbations in the horizontal compon...

El fenómeno El Niño es el modo dominante de la variabilidad interanual en el Océano Pacífico, resultando de un proceso de interacción entre el océano y la atmósfera en el Pacífico Tropical. Las últimas investigaciones demuestran que existen varias facetas de este fenómeno que varían según las modalidades de interacción entre el océano y la atmosfera así como sus ubicaciones. Existen por lo menos dos tipos de El Niño, con expresiones diferentes sobre la Temperatura Superficial del Mar en el Pacifico Tropical y en la costa de Perú: uno que se desarrolla en el Pacifico Central (tiende a estar asociado a condiciones oceánicas más frías que favorecen el estado árido de la costa peruana y condiciones oceánicas hypóxicas), y otro que se desarrolla en el Pacifico Este (que transforma la costa peruana en una "típica" zona tropical, caracterizada por aguas costeras caliente...
