La répartition des chimpanzés à Sebitoli (Parc National de Kibale, Ouganda): influence des facteurs naturels et anthropiques by Sarah Bortolamiol, Marianne Cohen, Milena Palibrk, Sabrina Krief

“…Therefore it seems that females are more sedentary than males, especially when they have dependants.Moreover, this study shows that for a better understanding of the influence of landscape properties and plants repartition (food resources) at the forest edge in this area, we should care primarily about interactions between humans, chimpanzees, and the forest, particularly through the connection that the two species have with the landscape. A study of food availability and diversity will help us to describe chimpanzees repartition in function of food phenological status. …”

Understanding Dioxygen Activation in the Fe(III)-Promoted Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Amines: A Computational Study by Ricardo D. Páez-López, Miguel Á. Gómez-Soto, Héctor F. Cortés-Hernández, Alejandro Solano-Peralta, Miguel Castro, Peter M. H. Kroneck, Martha E. Sosa-Torres

“…The DFT calculations show that (i) ³O₂ abstracts a hydrogen atom from the α-pyridine aliphatic C-H moiety, introducing a double bond regio-selectively at the C₇N₈ position, via the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism, (ii) O₂ does not coordinate to the iron center to generate a high-valent Fe oxo species observed in enzymes and biomimetic complexes, and (iii) the experimental activation parameters (ΔH^≠ = 20.38 kcal mol⁻¹, ΔS^≠ = −0.018 kcal mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) fall within in the range of values reported for HAT reactions and align well with the computational results for the activated complex [Fe^IIL³_N8•]²⁺···³O₂.…”
