SYNTHESIS,SPATIAL STRUCTURE,AND NOOTROPIC ACTIVITY OF N-CYANOMETHYLANABASINE

Journal of Structural Chemistry - N-cyanomethylanabasine is prepared with an yield of 70% by the interaction of the alkaloid anabasine with glyconitrile. It is shown that the highest yield of the...     

Synthesis of new hydrazones based on <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-hydroxybenzohydrazides

o- and p-Hydroxybenzohydrazides reacted with various unsaturated aromatic aldehydes to give the corresponding N′-(hydroxybenzoyl)hydrazones. Inhibitory activity of the obtained hydrazones against cathepsin E was evaluated.     

Existence of the kernel of a convex set in linear discrete control systems

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the kernel of a convex set in linear discrete control systems are obtained. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 58, No. 1, pp. 119–126, July, 1995.     

Macroscopic theory of the electron work function in solids

The approach is based on the dielectric formalism theory. The relations for calculation of the electron work function in solids – metals, semiconductors and dielectrics, were obtained. The calculated results are in an agreement with experimental ones. This approach can be used for computation of work function values of numerous materials.     

Extinction times for a birth–death process with weak competition

We consider a birth–death process with birth rates iλ and death rates iμ+i(i?1)θ, where i is the current state of the process. A positive competition rate θ is assumed to be small. In the supercritical case where λ > μ, this process can be viewed as a demographic model for a population with high carrying capacity around (λ?μ)/θ. The article reports in a self-contained manner on the asymptotic properties of the time to extinction for this logistic branching process as θ → 0. All three reproduction regimes λ > μ, λ < μ, and λ = μ are studied.     

Thermochemistry of some cytisine derivatives

The enthalpies of solution of cytisine derivatives (phosphoric acid cytiside dimethyl ester, cytisinovinyloxyethylaminothiourea) in 96% ethanol at various dilutions were determined by isothermal calorimetry. Equations describing the dependences ΔH _s ⁰ = f(m ^1/2) (m is the molal concentration) were obtained. The standard enthalpies of solution, combustion, melting, and formation (at 298.15 K) of the compounds were calculated.
