Expeditious method for the synthesis of novel 2,3,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocine-4-thiones linked with isoxazole

Synthesis of novel 3-ary1-5-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-y1)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocine-4-thiones 5 has been accomplished from 3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-amine I by condensation with salicylaldehydes, followed by reduction, treatment with aryl isothiocyanates and subsequent smooth ring closure via acetal formation in the presence of formaldehyde.

Bioactive Benzopyrone Derivatives from New Recombinant Fusant of Marine <Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces</Emphasis>

In our searching program for bioactive secondary metabolites from marine Streptomycetes, three microbial benzopyrone derivatives (1-3), 7-methylcoumarin (1) and two flavonoides, rhamnazin (2) and cirsimaritin (3), were obtained during the working up of the ethyl acetate fraction of a marine Streptomyces fusant obtained from protoplast fusion between Streptomyces strains Merv 1996 and Merv 7409. The structures of the three compounds (1-3) were established by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, UV spectra, and by comparison with literature data. Marine Streptomyces strains were identified based on their phenotypic and chemotypic characteristics as two different bioactive strains of the genus Streptomyces. We described here the fermentation, isolation, as well as the biological activity of these bioactive compounds. The isolated compounds (1-3) are reported here as microbial products for the first time.     

Analysis of trifluoroacetic acid and other short-chain perfluorinated acids (C2-C4) in precipitation by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry: comparison to patterns of long-chain perfluorinated acids (C5-C18)

This paper provides analytical chemical information on selected new molecular entities (NMEs) which are drugs that have recently been approved by the FDA. These are the antiretroviral drugs, atazanavir, indinavir and emtricitabine, the antibacterial gemifloxacin, rosuvastatine which is a cholesterol-lowing drug, the anti-cancer drug gefitinib and aprepitant for neurological disorders. Electrospray ionisation-quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-MSⁿ) was employed to generate tandem mass spectrometric (MS²) data of the drugs studied and structural assignments of product ions were supported by quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QToF-MS/MS). These fragmentation studies were then utilised in the development and validation of a specific and sensitive liquid chromatographic method (LC–ESI-MS²) to identify and determine these drugs at therapeutic concentration levels in serum after a single protein precipitation procedure with acetonitrile. In addition, this method was compared to the application of gas liquid chromatography-flame ionisation detection (GLC-FID) and differential pulse polarography (DPP) for the analysis of these NMEs in serum.     

A Mixed Solvothermal Route to Synthesis of Dice‐Like PbS

The authors developed a simple solvothermal route to synthesis of PbS nanocrystals in the mild binary mixed solvent made of diethylenetriamine (DETA) and water. Two kinds of PbS nanostructures (dice‐like and cubic) have been successfully synthesized in the binary mixed solvothermal system at 150 °C by changing the sulfur source. The products were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the as‐prepared dice‐like PbS crystals have a hole on each of their faces. To elucidate the relationship between reaction systems and the morphologies of the final products, the authors also investigated the crystal growth by using different sulfur source. Based on the experimental results, the possible growth mechanism of the dice‐like PbS crystals was proposed.

CeOHCO3和CeO2束状纳米结构的制备及表征

The cantaloupe-like particles of CeOHCO₃ were synthesized in aqueous solution by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as soft template. Then, the bunchiness rods of CeO₂ were obtained by calcining CeOHCO₃ at 450 ℃. The results of thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis reveal that an endothermic reaction with decomposition is involved in the transformation process from CeOHCO₃ to CeO₂. By scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, it is found that the orthorhombic phase CeOHCO₃ particles are constituted of short nanorods with diameters ranging from several tens nm to over 100 nm, and the cubic phase CeO₂ rods are composed of small particles with diameter ca. 15 nm. From the results of UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence analysis, it is found that the CeO₂ possess abundant defects, and the band gaps of the CeO₂ and CeOHCO₃ are ca. 2.70 eV and 3.87 eV, respectively.     

Experimental Investigation on Transmission Control Protocol Throughput Behavior in Optical Fiber Access Networks

ABSTRACT

This article describes an experimental investigation on the behavior of transmission control protocol in throughput measurements to be used in the verification of the service-level agreement between the Internet service provider and user in terms of line capacity for ultra-broadband access networks typical of fiber-to-the-x architectures. It is experimentally shown different conditions in high bandwidth-delay product links where the estimation of the line capacity based on a single transmission control protocol session results are unreliable. Simple equations reported in this work, and experimentally verified, point out the conditions in terms of packet loss, time delay, and line capacity, that allow consideration of the reliability of the measurement carried out with a single transmission control protocol session test by adopting a suitable measurement time duration.

Novel solvable many-body problems

Novel classes of dynamical systems are introduced, including many-body problems characterized by nonlinear equations of motion of Newtonian type (“acceleration equals forces”) which determine the motion of points in the complex plane. These models are solvable, namely their con?guration at any time can be obtained from the initial data by algebraic operations, amounting to the determination of the zeros of a known time-dependent polynomial in the independent variable z. Some of these models are multiply periodic, isochronous or asymptotically isochronous; others display scattering phenomena.
