    • Cárdenas Valencia, Carlos; Lamsabhi, Al Mokhtar; Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio (ELSEVIER, 2006-03-20)
      In this work, the nuclear reactivity indices of density functional theory have been generalized to the spin polarized case and their relationship to electron spin polarized indices has been established. in particular, the ...
    • Campodónico, Paola R.; Aizman, Arie; Contreras Ramos, Renato (ELSEVIER, 2006-04-28)
      Two classical tools, the intermolecular stretching force constants of H-bonded complexes and the molecular electrostatic potential are used to propose a nucleophilicity index evaluated for a series of pyridines. The model ...
    • Campodónico, Paola R.; Aizman, Arie; Contreras Ramos, Renato (ELSEVIER, 2006-05-10)
      We propose and test an empirical nucleofugality index to rank the leaving group ability of a series of molecular fragments present in nucleophilic substitution reactions of carbonyl and thiocarbonyl derivatives. The ...
    • Brock, Friedemann; Iturriaga, Leonelo; Ubilla, Pedro (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2006-08-01)
      We establish the existence of a positive solution for the following non-variational equation {-div(|x|(-2a)del u)=|x|(-2(a+1)+c) f(x,u,del u), in Omega u=0, on partial derivative Omega, where the non-linearity f (x,t,xi) ...
    • Briet, Philippe; Raikov, Georgi (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-08-15)
      We consider three-dimensional Schrodinger operators with constant magnetic fields and ergodic electric potentials. We study the strong magnetic field asymptotic behaviour of the integrated density of states, distinguishing ...
    • Bressaud, Xavier; Maass Sepúlveda, Alejandro; Martínez Aguilera, Servet; San Martín, J. (INST MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS, 2006-07)
      We study the standard property of the natural filtration associated to a 0-1 valued stationary process. In our main result we show that if the process has summable memory decay, then the associated filtration is standard. ...
    • Cabrera, Walton J.; Kaempfe, Marianne A.; Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela; Ríos, Hernán E. (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-03-01)
      The effect of 1-decanol on the potentiometric response of three ion-selective electrodes to large cationic species is analyzed. The electrodes were constructed with plasticized PVC membranes. The results suggest that ...
    • Cabrera Paucar, Ricardo; Caniuguir, Andrés; Ambrosio, Andre L. B.; Guixé Leguía, Victoria Cristina; Garratt, Richard C.; Babul Cattán, Jorge (BLACKWELL, 2006-09)
      Escherichia coli contains two phosphofructokinases, Pfk-1 and Pfk-2, which belong to unrelated protein families. In addition to catalytic function, the enzymes have converged in showing substrate inhibition by the nucleotide ...
    • Cabo, Alejandro; Claro, Francisco; Menéndez Proupin, Eduardo (AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 2006-01)
      A modified version of the Moller-Plesset approach for obtaining the correlation energy associated with a Hartree-Fock ground state is proposed. The method is tested in a model of interacting fermions that allows for an ...
    • Botto Mahan, Carezza; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Medel Contreras, Rodrigo (ELSEVIER, 2006-07)
      Parasites have been shown to manipulate the feeding behaviour of their invertebrate vectors, which results in an increased probability of transmission to definitive hosts. Most evidence for this hypothesis comes from ...
    • Brauchi, Sebastián; Cea, Christian; Farías, Jorge G.; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan; Reyes, Juan G. (ELSEVIER, 2006-08-04)
      Multicellular organisms undergo programmed cell death (PCD) as a mechanism for tissue remodeling during development and tissue renewal throughout adult life. Overdose of some neuronal receptor agonists like glutamate can ...
    • Bieri, Stefan; Muñoz Muñoz, Orlando; Veuthey, Jean-Luc; Christen, Philippe (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2006-01)
      This study presents a very fast GC analysis applied for the baseline separation of isomeric tropane alkaloids extracted from the stem-bark of Schizanthus grahamii (Solanaceae). The work provided a challenging application ...
    • Bieri, Stefan; Varesio, Emmanuel; Muñoz Muñoz, Orlando; Veuthey, Jean-Luc; Christen, Philippe (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2006-02-24)
