A Novel Route for the Easy Production of Thermochromic VO Nanoparticles.

In this work, a simple, fast and dry method for the fabrication of a thermochromic product with a high load of VO (M1) consisting of the controlled heat treatment of pure vanadium nanoparticles in air is presented. After a complete design of experiments, it is concluded that the most direct way to attain the maximum transformation of V into VO (M1) consists of one cycle with a fast heating ramp of 42 °C s , followed by keeping 700 °C for 530-600 seconds, and a subsequent cooling at 0.05 °C s .

Norms and reliability for the Spanish version of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) Form A.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the adult population. Tools capable of detecting predementia and established diagnoses of dementia are very important for assessing these patients. The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) is a brief neuropsychological battery that has been successful at detecting cognitive impairment in degenerative and nondegenerative neurological diseases.
