[1,3,4]Thiadiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazin-4-ones were prepared by one pot condensation and cyclization of 4-amino-[1,2,4]triazine-3-thione-5-ones with various aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of silica gel sulfuric acid in solventless condition.     

Topology Management for Improving Routing and Network Performances in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A distributed topology management algorithm based on the construction of a forest from the topology of the network is proposed. In this algorithm, each tree of the forest forms a zone, and each zone is maintained proactively. As a result, the network can be seen as a set of non-overlapping zones. We introduce the concept of quality of connectivity for extracting the links connecting the pair of best nodes, and use this quality to construct the forest. We characterize the behaviors of the proposed topology management algorithm under various network density. We study the effect of the topology management on the performance of an ad hoc routing protocol. The results demonstrate that the performance of routing can be significantly improved with the help of topology management.     

Highly Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of N-Alkyl Sulfonamides from Alcohols Using N-(p-Toluenesulfonyl) Imidazole (Tsim)

Abstract

A facile and efficient method for one-pot synthesis of N-alkyl sulfonamides from alcohols using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this protocol, treatment of various potassium sulfonylamide salts and alcohols in the presence of TsIm and triethylamine in refluxing DMF furnishes the corresponding N-alkyl sulfonamides in good to excellent yields. This methodology is highly efficient for reaction of various structurally diverse primary and secondary alcohols as well as potassium sulfonylamides. Also, the density functional theoretical calculations are employed to mechanistically study this protocol.

Regioselective N‐Arylation of Some Pyrimidine and Purine Nucleobases

N‐Arylation of some pyrimidine and purine nucleobases in the presence of SiO₂ and Cs₂CO₃ under solvent‐free as well as in solution conditions is described. In these conditions, N1‐aryl pyrimidines and N9‐aryl purines have been obtained regioselectively in moderate to high yields with relatively short reaction times.

Modal analysis of silicon carbide nanotubes using structural mechanics

This article discusses the vibrational properties of silicon carbide nanotubes with various dimensions, chiralities and boundary conditions. The molecular mechanics-based finite element method is applied to study the mode shapes and natural frequencies of the silicon carbide nanotubes. The results reveal that the natural frequencies of the nanotubes increase with decreasing length, but they do not show monotone behaviors vs. diameter changes. The reasons are discussed in detail.     

Diffusion of dimethyl sulfoxide in tissue engineered collagen scaffolds visualized by computer tomography

Cryopreservation is a convenient method for long-term preservation of natural and engineered tissues in regenerative medicine. Homogeneous loading of tissues with CPAs, however, forms one of the major hurdles in tissue cryopreservation. In this study, computer tomography (CT) as a non-invasive imaging method was used to determine the effective diffusion of Me2SO in tissue-engineered collagen scaffolds. The dimensions of the scaffolds were 30 x 30 x 10 mm3 with a homogeneous pore size of 100 microm and a porosity of 98%. CT images were acquired after equilibrating the scaffolds in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and transferring them directly in 10% (v/v)Me2SO. The Me2SO loading process of the scaffold could thus be measured and visualized in real time. The experimental data were fitted using a diffusion equation. The calculated effective diffusion constant for Me2SO in the PBS loaded scaffold was determined from experimental diffusion studies to be 2.4 x 10(-6) cm2/s at 20 degrees C.     

Biomimetic formation of apatite on the surface of porous gelatin/bioactive glass nanocomposite scaffolds

There have been several attempts to combine bioactive glasses (BaGs) with biodegradable polymers to create a scaffold material with excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability and toughness. In the present study, the nanocomposite scaffolds with compositions based on gelatin (Gel) and BaG nanoparticles in the ternary SiO₂-CaO-P₂O₅ system were prepared. In vitro evaluations of the nanocomposite scaffolds were performed, and for investigating their bioactive capacity these scaffolds were soaked in a simulated body fluid (SBF) at different time intervals. The scaffolds showed significant enhancement in bioactivity within few days of immersion in SBF solution. The apatite formation at the surface of the nanocomposite samples confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analyses. In vitro experiments with osteoblast cells indicated an appropriate penetration of the cells into the scaffold's pores, and also the continuous increase in cell aggregation on the bioactive scaffolds with increase in the incubation time demonstrated the ability of the scaffolds to support cell growth. The SEM observations revealed that the prepared scaffolds were porous with three dimensional (3D) and interconnected microstructure, pore size was 200-500 μm and the porosity was 72-86%. The nanocomposite scaffold made from Gel and BaG nanoparticles could be considered as a highly bioactive and potential bone tissue engineering implant.
