Synthesis,X‐ray Analysis,and Biological Activities of Novel Oxazolidinethiones

Oxazolidinethione compounds were synthesized starting from racemic and enantiopure β‐amino alcohols. The molecular structure of oxazolidinethione 6a was elucidated by single‐crystal x‐ray crystallography. Oxazolidinethione compounds screened for antimicrobial activity showed mild minimum inhibitory concentration values.     

Energies and Landé factors for some excited levels in Lu I (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis> = 71)

We have calculated relativistic energies and Landé factors for 5d6s ², 5d ²6s, 6s6p ², 6s ²7s, 5d ³, 5d6s7s, 6s ²6p, 5d6s6p, 5d ²6p and 6s ²7p excited levels outside the core [Xe]4f ¹⁴ in neutral lutetium (Lu I, Z = 71). These calculations are based on the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) method, within the framework of the Breit-Pauli relativistic corrections. Moreover, the results obtained have been compared with other works.     

增强LPG催化裂化催化剂ZSM-5稳定性的新方法：脱铝和负载硅

以碳纳米管为模板合成的带有介孔和微孔的ZSM-5分子筛具有不同的复合结构。用三氯乙酸(TCA)可选择性地将中孔的铝脱除。基于TCA分子大小,它可能只扩散到中孔中,因而使得微孔部分不脱铝。从分子筛结构中脱除铝原子导致催化剂中出现中空的空间。若将硅原子填充到空位中,那么介孔部分的结构会变得与硅酸盐类似,不具有催化性能。本文使用含硅的溶液来填充空位,将硅原子直接取代中孔结构中的铝原子。通过此特殊方法改变微孔和介孔的几何形状和性质,从而使改性HZSM-5上的积碳量从14%降低至3%。     

LC-HRMS Profiling and Antidiabetic,Anticholinergic, and Antioxidant Activities of Aerial Parts of Kınkor (Ferulago stellata)

Kınkor (Ferulago stellata) is Turkish medicinal plant species and used in folk medicine against some diseases. As far as we know, the data are not available on the biological activities and chemical composition of this medicinal plant. In this study, the phytochemical composition; some metabolic enzyme inhibition; and antidiabetic, anticholinergic, and antioxidant activities of this plant were assessed. In order to evaluate the antioxidant activity of evaporated ethanolic extract (EEFS) and lyophilized water extract (WEFS) of kınkor (Ferulago stellata), some putative antioxidant methods such as DPPH· scavenging activity, ABTS^•+ scavenging activity, ferric ions (Fe³⁺) reduction method, cupric ions (Cu²⁺) reducing capacity, and ferrous ions (Fe²⁺)-binding activities were separately performed. Furthermore, ascorbic acid, BHT, and α-tocopherol were used as the standard compounds. Additionally, the main phenolic compounds that are responsible for antioxidant abilities of ethanol and water extracts of kınkor (Ferulago stellata) were determined by liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). Ethanol and water extracts of kınkor (Ferulago stellata) demonstrated effective antioxidant abilities when compared to standards. Moreover, ethanol extract of kınkor (Ferulago stellata) demonstrated IC₅₀ values of 1.772 μg/mL against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), 33.56 ± 2.96 μg/mL against α-glycosidase, and 0.639 μg/mL against α-amylase enzyme respectively.

Dynamic Bio-Barcode Assay Enables Electrochemical Detection of a Cancer Biomarker in Undiluted Human Plasma: A Sample-In-Answer-Out Approach

There is a need for biosensing systems that can be operated at the point-of-care (POC) for disease screening and diagnostics and health monitoring. In spite of this, simple to operate systems with the required analytical sensitivity and specificity in clinical samples, using a sample-in-answer-out approach, remain elusive. Reported here is an electrochemical bio-barcode assay (e-biobarcode assay) that integrates biorecognition with signal transduction using molecular (DNA/protein) machines and signal readout using nanostructured electrodes. The e-biobarcode assay eliminates multistep processing and uses a single step for analysis following sample collection into the reagent tube. A clinically relevant performance for the analysis of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in undiluted and unprocessed human plasma: a log-linear range of 1 ng mL⁻¹–200 ng mL⁻¹ and a LOD of 0.4 ng mL⁻¹, was achieved. The e-biobarcode assay offers a realistic solution for biomarker analysis at the POC.

Generating Sets of Finite Transformation Semigroups PK(n,r) and K (n,r)

Let P _n and T _n be the partial transformation and the full transformation semigroups on the set {1,…, n}, respectively. In this paper we find necessary and sufficient conditions for any set of partial transformations of height r in the subsemigroup PK(n, r) = {α ∈P _n : |im (α)| ≤r} of P _n to be a (minimal) generating set of PK(n, r); and similarly, for any set of full transformations of height r in the subsemigroup K(n, r) = {α ∈T _n : |im (α)| ≤r} of T _n to be a (minimal) generating set of K(n, r) for 2 ≤ r ≤ n ? 1.     

Spontaneous nano pattern formation under pulsed exposure: relaxation kinetics study

Formation of spontaneous surface relief grating under pulsed exposure on the surface of an azo polymer film has been investigated. We did experiments in different repetition rates and pulse widths by use an electro mechanical chopper and a diode-pumped solid-state laser with wavelength of 532?nm as pump beam. Incidence of pump beam, has been set normal to the surface of azo-polymer film. Spontaneous surface relief grating with grating pitch of ~1,250?nm was formed. For low repetition rate, relaxation due to cis-trans isomerization becomes dominant and growth rate becomes slower. A threshold for spontaneous pattern formation was found. In addition to an increase in the diffraction intensity during illumination, anomalous variation of diffraction intensity by switching on and off the laser was observed. By switching off the recording beam sharp enhancement occurred. By switching on the recording beam, after a sharp decrease in the intensity of diffracted beam, it increased further under illumination. Anomalous variations, strongly depends on polarization of the probe beam and the irradiation time for the formation of spontaneous SRG. Sharp enhancement has been attributed to cis-trans thermal isomerization and sharp decrease has been attributed to isomeration in whole surface under illumination.
