Dynamic Strategic Pricing and Speed of Diffusion

Defining speed of diffusion as the amount of time it takes to get from one penetration level to a higher one, we introduce a dynamic model in which we study the link between pricing policy, speed of diffusion, and number of competitors in the market. Our analysis shows that, in the case of strategic (oligopolistic) competition, the speed of diffusion has an important influence on the optimal pricing policy. In particular, we find that higher speeds of diffusion create an incentive to strategically interacting firms to lower their prices.

A new type of two-dimensional packed + capillary column GC system. I. Theory

Summary To match the need of high efficiency capillary column (plate number N₂, Plate height H₂ and carrier gas linear velocity U₂), a new high efficiency packed column (N₁, H₁ and U₁) at high carrier gas velocity with small capacity factor has been developed in the light of theoretical discussion of factors effecting the column efficiency utilization ratio.     

Synthesis of calixarene-cyclodextrin coupling products

The coupling of two or four mono-6-amino β-cyclodextrin (amino-CD) units, (unprotected or permethylated hydroxyls), to diisopropoxycalix[4]arene crown-6 (CAL) was realised using the N,N′-succinyldiamide linker. The resulting molecules in two series were characterised with the help of mass and NMR spectroscopies. The yields of all coupling products were improved for permethylated sugar series compared to the hydroxylated CD series or to our previous studies. The two β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) residues coupled to disubstituted CAL were orientated from the same side of the crown ether.

Preparation of apolar glass capillary columns by the barium carbonate procedure

As an extension of previous reports, the barium carbonate procedure has been optimized in detail for the preparation of apolar columns. The aim was to produce optimum overall column characteristics, and to maintain them unchanged under the prolonged influence of the highest possible temperature. The main parameters under optimization were glass variety, leaching of glass surface with aqueous HCl, and amount of barium carbonate deposited, while deactivation and coating were kept constant. The basic column characteristics were adsorption properties and thermostability of deactivation, acid/base behaviour and separation efficiency. They were determined by a new, quantitative testing procedure. Intense leaching was able to eliminate almost totally the differences between glass varieties and to create a well-defined glass surface. While untreated glass, leached glass, and barium carbonate treated glass showed specific weak points in the respective column quality, the combination of leaching and barium carbonate treatment yielded the highest and most stable quality. Some technical modifications of the preparation procedure are described, including deactivation in the gas phase, and use of pentane as a solvent for static coating.     

Neosappanone A, a xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory dimeric methanodibenzoxocinone with a new carbon skeleton from Caesalpinia sappan

A novel dimeric methanodibenzoxocinone, named neosappanone A (1), possessing a unique unprecedented novel carbon framework, has been isolated from the heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan L. of Vietnam, and its structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Neosappanone A (1) competitively inhibited xanthine oxidase in a concentration-dependent manner (IC₅₀, 29.7 μM; K_i, 16.3 μM).     

A new oligosaccharide synthesis using special hydroxy protecting group

A new hydroxy protecting group for convenient preparation of oligosaccharide was developed using uni-chemo protection (UCP) concept. The UCP group was comprised of polymerized amino acid derivatives and protecting each hydroxyl groups by ester linkage. Depending on the polymerization degree, the hydroxyl groups were characterized and controlled. Using this protecting group, two kinds of sialyl-T analogues were successfully synthesized from same sugar parts merely by repeating Edman degradation and coupling.
