A smooth homotopy method for incomplete markets

Mathematical Programming - In the general equilibrium with incomplete asset markets (GEI) model, the excess demand functions are typically not continuous at the prices for which the assets have...     

On Necessary Optimality Conditions with Higher-Order Complementarity Slackness for Set-Valued Optimization Problems

Set-Valued and Variational Analysis - We aim to establish Karush-Kuhn-Tucker multiplier rules involving higher-order complementarity slackness under Hölder metric subregularity. These rules...     

A Hydroperoxide-Mediated Decarboxylation of α-Ketoacids Enables the Chemoselective Acylation of Amines

Strategies for the formation of amide bonds, that is, one of the most basic and important transformations in organic synthesis, have so far focused predominantly on dehydration reactions. Herein, we report and demonstrate the practical utility of a novel decarboxylative amidation of α-ketoacids by using inexpensive tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), which is characterized by high yields, a broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and a unique chemoselectivity. These features enable the synthesis of peptides from amino acid derived α-ketoacids under preservation of the stereochemical information.     

Particle Model for the Reservoirs in the Simple Symmetric Exclusion Process

Journal of Statistical Physics - In this paper, we will study the long time behavior of the simple symmetric exclusion process in the “channel” $$\varLambda _N=[1,N]\cap \mathbb {N}$$...

Five Novel Taccalonolides from the Roots of the Vietnamese Plant Tacca paxiana

Chemical investigation of the roots of the Vietnamese plant Tacca paxiana resulted in the isolation of five new steroidal compounds, taccalonolide R ( 6 ), S ( 7 ), T ( 8 ), U ( 9 ), and V ( 10 ). Their structures were established on the basis of NMR and mass‐spectral data. In addition, the five known taccalonolides A ( 1 ), B ( 2 ), E ( 3 ), K ( 4 ), and N ( 5 ) were also isolated and identified.
