Abstract
The analysis of the background noise in seismic networks has proved to be a powerful tool not only to acquire new insights on the crustal structure, but also to monitor different natural and anthropogenic processes. We show that data acquired during controlled source experiments can also be a valuable tool to monitor such processes, in particular when using high-density deployments. Data from a wide-angle reflection and refraction seismic profile in the central-northwest part of Iberia is used to identify signals related to aircrafts, road traffic, quarry blasts, wind blow, rainfall or thunders. The most prominent observations are those generated by a helicopter and an airplane flying following trajectories subparallel to the profile, which are tracked along 200 km with a spatial resolution of 350 m, hence providing an exceptional dataset. Other highlights are the observation of the Doppler effect on signals generated by moving cars and the high-density recording of acoustic waves generated by thunders. In addition to the intrinsic interest of identifying such signals, this contribution proves that it is worth inspecting the data acquired during seismic experiments beyond the time interval including the arrival of the seismic waves generated by the controlled source.

Abstract
In order to achieve deep insight into the multiferroic behavior and electronic properties of intrinsic oxygen vacancies in ATiO3 (A = Mn, Fe, Ni), first-principles calculations based on hybrid density functional theory were carried out for bulk and non-polar (110) surface models. We found that the formation of an oxygen vacancy is accompanied by structural and electronic disorders in the constituent clusters of [TiO6] and [AO6] in ATiO3, that become [TiO5] and [AO5], respectively. This perturbation contributes to the generation of intermediary energy levels in the band gap region, thus narrowing the required excitation energy. In addition, the remaining electrons are mainly trapped in the empty 3d orbitals of the Ti cations neighboring the oxygen vacancy, generating [TiO5]' (3d1) that mediates an antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in MnTiO3 and FeTiO3 materials. In particular, MnTiO3 surfaces show exposed [TiO4]' species that are responsible for its half-metallic behavior. The present work provides compelling evidence that controlling oxygen vacancies can be a valuable strategy to tailor the multiferroic properties of ATiO3 materials.

Abstract
We demonstrated phase control, mediated by the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, in the growth of ZnS crystals by using a cost effective MAS method; a very moderate temperature (140 °C) and a very fast reaction time are sufficient to produce nanostructures with a good degree of crystallinity.

Abstract
Theoretical investigations concerning the high-pressure polymorphs, the equations of state, and the phase transitions of SnO2 have been performed using density functional theory at the B3LYP level. Total energy calculations and geometry optimizations have been carried out for all phases involved, and the following sequence of structural transitions from the rutile-type (P42/mnm) driven by pressure has been obtained (the transition pressure is in parentheses): --> CaCl2-type, Pnnm (12 GPa) --> alpha-PbO2-type, Pbcn (17 GPa) --> pyrite-type, Pa (17 GPa) --> ZrO2-type orthorhombic phase I, Pbca (18 GPa) --> fluorite-type, Fmm (24 GPa) --> cotunnite-type orthorhombic phase II, Pnam (33 GPa). The highest bulk modulus values, calculated by fitting pressure-volume data to the second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, correspond to the cubic pyrite and the fluorite-type phases with values of 293 and 322 GPa, respectively.

Abstract
We introduce and test a nucleophilicity index as a new descriptor of chemical reactivity. The index is derived from a perturbation model for the interaction between the nucleophile and a positive test charge. The computational implementation of the model uses an isoelectronic process involving the minimum values of the electronic part of the perturbed molecular electrostatic potential. The working expression defining the nucleophilicity index encompasses both the electrostatic contributions and the second-order polarization effects in a form which is consistent with the empirical scales previously proposed. The index is validated for a series of neutral nucleophiles in the gas phase for which the nucleophilicity pattern has been experimentally established within a spectroscopic scale.

Abstract
The present study is concerned with the structural and electronic properties of the low-index surfaces of the brookite form of titanium dioxide. A theoretical investigation is carried out using the density functional formalism under the nonlocal B3LYP approximation to calculate surface energies, band energy values, and to interpret the response to hydrostatic pressure of the bulk and surfaces of the brookite structure. In addition, phase transformations with pressure are predicted from the anatase and the rutile to the brookite polymorph at about 3.8 and 6.2 GPa, respectively. The orthorhombic structure and the fractional coordinates of brookite vary isotropically with the rise in pressure. The calculated band gap energy is 3.78 eV for the bulk brookite. The brookite surface stabilities follow the sequence (010) < (110) < (100), and the minimum gap energy value is found for the (110) surface.

Abstract
We have studied oxygen interaction with Au crystals (field emitter tips) using time-resolved (atom-probe) field desorption mass spectrometry. The results demonstrate no adsorption to take place on clean Au facets under chosen conditions of pressures (p < 10(-4) m/bar) and temperatures (T = 300-350 K). Steady electric fields of 6 V/nm do not allow dissociating the oxygen molecule. The measured O2+ intensities rather reflect ionization of O2 molecules at critical distances above the Au tip surface. Certain amounts of Au-O2 complex ions can be found at the onset of Au field evaporation. Calculations by density functional theory (DFT) show weak oxygen end-on interaction with Au10 clusters (Delta E = 0.023 eV) and comparatively stronger interaction with Au1/Au(100) model surfaces (Delta E = 0.25 eV). No binding is found on {210} facets. Including (positive) electric fields in the DFT calculations leads to an increase of the activation energy for oxygen dissociation thus providing an explanation for the absence of atomic oxygen ions from the field desorption mass spectra.

Abstract
Spin forbidden 1,2-cycloadditions of triplet methylene to alkenes have been theoretically studied as an example of the two-state reactivity paradigm in organic chemistry. The cycloadditions of triplet methylene to ethylene and the (E)- and (Z)-2-butene isomers show spin inversion after the transition state and therefore with no effect on the reaction rate. A local analysis shows that while triplet methylene addition to alkenes leading to the formation of a biradical intermediate is driven by spin polarization, the ring closure step to yield cyclopropane is a pericyclic process. We have found that at the regions in the potential energy surface where the spin crossover is likely to occur, the spin potential in the direction of increasing spin multiplicity, mu(+)(s), tends to equalize the one in the direction of decreasing spin multiplicity, mu(-)(s). This equalization facilitates the spin transfer process driven by changes in the spin density of the system.

Abstract
Periodic DFT calculations are used to predict and investigate the adsorption behavior of molecular oxygen on Au, Au/Pt, and Pt surfaces. To obtain an array of pyramids containing surface atoms with the lowest possible coordination number, a nano-modified surface consisting of a symmetrically "modified" (100) surface was used. The effect of atom substitution (organized alloying) is investigated. The adsorption of molecular oxygen on a pure gold pyramid is exothermic by 0.77 eV for the end-on adsorption mode. In the case of a pure platinum pyramid, the end-on adsorption mode was found to dissociate; however, a side-on geometry was encountered with an energy of adsorption of 2.3 eV. This value is in line with the fact that the adsorption energy of small molecules does not vary much on Pt surfaces with different indices. Additionally, some geometrically related trends of the surface deformation in relation to its composition and after adsorption of molecular oxygen are highlighted.

Abstract
We have carried out a combined experimental and theoretical study of the molecular structure of the MoO(O(2))(2)(OPy)(H(2)O) coordination compound using X-ray crystallography and DFT-B3LYP computational method, respectively. The MoO(O(2))(2)(OPy)(H(2)O) complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmna with Z = 4, a = 6.9001(9) A, b = 8.0471(1) A, c = 16.227(2) A, V = 901.0(2) A(3), and the X-ray data analysis yields a bipyramidal-pentagonal coordination polyhedron for the Mo atom. The pyridine N-oxide (OPy) ligand occupies the equatorial position, with the oxygen atom of this ligand being located in the same plane as the four peroxo oxygen atoms. The H(2)O ligand is situated trans to the oxo group, forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds with peroxo groups belonging to two adjacent complexes. In our theoretical approach these intermolecular interactions were taken into account by including two methanol molecules which form hydrogen bonds with the water ligand leading to a good agreement between the calculated and the experimental geometry. Our results suggest that it is necessary to take into account the presence of these interactions in order to reconcile the theoretical results to the experimental data, in particular the distance between Mo and the oxygen of water ligand. These results seem to be a general feature for analogous bis-peroxo complexes that have been reported in the literature.

Abstract
The reaction between cyclopentadiene and protonated pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde imine derivatives has been studied by using Hartree-Fock (HF) and B3LYP methods together with the 6-31G basis set. The molecular mechanism is stepwise along an inverted energy profile. This results from the protonation on both nitrogen atoms of the imine group and the pyridine framework. The first step corresponds to the nucleophilic attack of cyclopentadiene on the electron-poor carbon atom of the iminium cation group to give an acyclic cation intermediate, and the second step is associated with the ring closure of this intermediate via the formation of a C-N single bond yielding the final cycloadduct. Two reactive channels have been characterized corresponding to the endo and exo approach modes of the cyclopentadiene to the iminium cation. The role of the pyridium cation substituent and the nitrogen position (ortho, meta, and para) along the reaction pathway has been also considered. Solvent effects (dichloromethane) by means of a continuum model have been taken into account to model the experimental environment.

Abstract
In this report we present the clinical features and molecular and cytogenetic findings in a female with partial trisomy 14q. Molecular and cytogenetic studies allowed us to determine that the extra 14q material (of paternal origin) was translocated postzygotically onto the maternal X chromosome. Consequently, only the derivative X chromosome was inactivated, although inactivation apparently did not spread over the entire chromosome 14q. This partial inactivation makes the present case unusual, giving rise to phenotypic features absent in other patients with partial trisomy 14q, typically restricted to the distal part of the chromosome.
