A proposed mechanisms for the transient suppression of bacterial luminescence by hydrogen peroxide

It has been shown previously that bacterial luminescence is reversibly suppressed in vivo and in vitro by both X-rays and hydrogen peroxide. The data presented here show that the mechanisms for this phenomenon is based on the transient oxidation of reduced flavin mononucleotide.     

Highly excited “nuclear molecules”: A way to explain the fluctuations in DBHIC excitation functions. Study of the28Si +28Si colliding system at 5.3 MeV ·A

The properties of the strong fluctuations observed in the excitation functions of Dissipative Binary Heavy Ion Collisions (DBHIC) have been studied for the system²⁸Si+²⁸Si in the energy range 150 MeV ≤E _lab ≤ 156 MeV with 150 keV step laboratory incident energy, by angular distributions and excitation functions measurements. Experimental results are compared to the the recently developed Partially Overlapping Molecular Level Model (POMLM). The parameters of the model have been determined with reasonable accuracy by describing all the quantities characterizing the fluctuations in the excitation functions i.e.: Average Angular Distributions, Energy Autocorrelation Functions, Variances, Angular Correlation Coefficients. The results of the analysis strongly support the idea of a process proceeding through the formation of an highly excited “nuclear molecule”. Experimental data collected at the most forward angles show the effects of strong excitation of a few final channels.     

Template effects in the formation of [2]pseudo-rotaxanes containing diazapyrenium units

The template effects exerted by guests 14 and 15 in the ring closure reaction of 3 have been quantitatively evaluated. The rate largely increases in the presence of the two templates. The results are compared with those relative to the ring closure reaction of 1 yielding cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), 2. The comparison indicates that the formation of tetracationic aromatic cycles templated by aromatic donors benefits from the use of extended pi surfaces both in the acceptor and in the donor components.     

Analytic continuation in two-color QCD: new results on the critical line

We test the method of analytic continuation from imaginary to real chemical potential in two-color QCD, which is free from the sign problem. In particular, we consider the analytic continuation of the critical line to real values of the chemical potential.     

Gold(I) and silver(I) mixed-metal trinuclear complexes: dimeric products from the reaction of gold(I) carbeniates or benzylimidazolates with silver(I) 3,5-diphenylpyrazolate

Trinuclear mixed-metal gold-silver compounds are obtained by the reaction of gold(I) carbeniate [Au(mu-C(OEt)=NC6H4-p-CH3)]3, TR(carb), or gold(I) imidazolate [Au-mu-C,N-1-benzyl-2-imidazolate]3, TR(bzim), with silver(I) pyrazolate [Ag(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)]3. The crystalline products are mixed-ligand, mixed-metal dimeric products [Au(carb)Ag2(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)2], [Au2(carb)2Ag(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)].CH2Cl2, [Au(bzim)2Ag2(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)], and [Au2(bzim)2Ag(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)]. They have been characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. The X-ray structure of [Au(carb)Ag2(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)2] shows it to be a dimer with two Ag...Au contacts between the trinuclear units of 3.083(2) and 3.310(2) A and with average intramolecular Ag...Ag and Au...Ag distances of approximately 3.3 and 3.2 A, respectively. The structure of [Au2(carb)2Ag(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)].CH2Cl2 is a dimer with one intermolecular Au...Au attraction of 3.3354(10) A and a short Ag...Au distance of approximately 3.42 A and intramolecular Ag...Au and Au...Au contacts of approximately 3.2 and approximately 3.3 A, respectively. Packing diagrams of both complexes show that the dimeric units are independent, similar to their parent molecules. The dimers of trinuclear [Au(carb)Ag2(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)2] and [Au2(carb)2Ag(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)].CH2Cl2 crystallize in the triclinic space group P (Z = 2), a = 9.688(3) A, b = 15.542(4) A, c = 23.689(6) A, alpha = 82.560(5) degrees , beta = 87.887(6) degrees , gamma = 78.060(5) degrees , and the orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) (Z = 4), a = 29.644(4) A, b = 7.4582(10) A, c = 30.473(4) A, respectively. The structure of [Au(bzim)Ag2(mu-3,5-Ph2pz)2] is a dimer with two metallophilic Ag...Au interactions of 3.14 A. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (Z = 4), a = 26.368(5) A, b = 15.672(3) A, c = 17.010(3) A, beta = 102.206(3) degrees .     

Difference between standard and quasi-conformal BFKL kernels

As it was recently shown, the colour singlet BFKL kernel, taken in Möbius representation in the space of impact parameters, can be written in quasi-conformal shape, which is unbelievably simple compared with the conventional form of the BFKL kernel in momentum space. It was also proved that the total kernel is completely defined by its Möbius representation. In this paper we calculated the difference between standard and quasi-conformal BFKL kernels in momentum space and discovered that it is rather simple. Therefore we come to the conclusion that the simplicity of the quasi-conformal kernel is caused mainly by using the impact parameter space.
