Cibo e rifugiati nella città capitolina, tra pratiche di emergenza e tentativi di agentività by Donatella Schmidt, Giovanna Palutan

“…The general approach adopted in the essay is not so much on difficulties experienced by volunteers and refugees alike, which are present in everyday interaction, but rather on creative ways to cope with them. In this perspective, we suggest that both case-studies might find in the concept of agency a tool capable of making visible dynamics that would otherwise remain unspoken.…”

Spectroscopic Characterization and Biological Activity of Mixed Ligand Complexes of Ni(II) with 1,10-Phenanthroline and Heterocyclic Schiff Bases by Y. Prashanthi, K. Kiranmai, Ira, Sathish kumar K, Vijay kumar Chityala, Shivaraj

“…These metal chelates have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Mass, UV-Vis, magnetic moments, and thermogravimetric (TG&DTA) analysis. Spectral data showed that the 1,10-phenanthroline act as neutral bidentate ligand coordinating to the metal ion through two nitrogen donor atoms and Schiff bases acts as monobasic bidentate coordinating through NO donor atoms. …”
