Antibacterial Activities and Nuclease Properties of Two New Ternary Copper(II) Complexes with 2‐(4′‐Thiazolyl)‐benzimidazole and 2,2′‐Bipyridine/1,10‐phenanthroline

Two new complexes: [Cu(TBZ)(bipy)Cl]Cl·H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cu(TBZ)(phen)Cl]Cl·H₂O ( 2 ) [TBZ=2‐(4′‐thiazolyl)‐ benzimidazole, phen=1,10‐phenanthroline and bipy=2,2′‐bipyridine] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, and UV‐vis methods. Complex 2 , structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c in a unit cell of a=0.85257(12) nm, b=2.5358(4) nm, c=1.15151(13) nm, β=118.721(8)°, V=2.183.2(5) nm³, Z=4, D_c=1.624 g·cm⁻³, µ=1.367 mm⁻¹. The complexes, free ligands and chloride copper(II) salt were each tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of two gram‐positive (B. subtilis and S. aureus) and two gram‐negative (Salmonella and E. coli) bacteria. The complexes showed good antibacterial activities against the microorganisms. The interaction between the complexes and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution was investigated adopting electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. Results suggest that the two complexes can bind to DNA by intercalative mode. In addition, the result of agarose gel electrophoresis suggested that the complexes can cleave the plasmid DNA at physiological pH and room temperature. Mechanistic studies with different inhibiting reagents reveal that hydroxyl radicals, and a singlet oxygen‐like copper‐oxo species are all involved in the DNA scission process mediated by the complexes.     

Molecular dynamics comparative study of methane–nitrogen and methane–nitrogen–ethane systems

This work concerns the site–site interaction study of 256 particles using the Buckingham potential model. We have calculated the new parameters of the Buckingham potential using an iterative algorithm with a mean square method. This adapted model allows determining the characteristics for each state point. We have applied this model to study the liquefied natural gas LNG properties for methane-nitrogen and methane–nitrogen–ethane mixtures by molecular dynamics. We have calculated the thermodynamic, dynamic and structural properties for both the microcanonical NVT and the isothermal-isobaric NPT ensembles of binary and ternary systems from the SP₁ to SP₉ points. Then, we have compared the results between binary and ternary systems. We have obtained a good prediction on transport properties. From the calculated values of self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity, we have confirmed the liquid state of the liquefied natural gas LNG system.     

The template‐based procedure of biorthogonal ternary wavelets for curve multiresolution processing

Curve multiresolution processing techniques have been widely discussed in the study of subdivision schemes and many applications, such as surface progressive transmission and compression. The ternary subdivision scheme is the more appealing one because it can possess the symmetry, smaller topological support, and certain smoothness, simultaneously. So biorthogonal ternary wavelets are discussed in this paper, in which refinable functions are designed for cure and surface multiresolution processing of ternary subdivision schemes. Moreover, by the help of lifting techniques, the template‐based procedure is established for constructing ternary refinable systems with certain symmetry, and it also gives a clear geometric templates of corresponding multiresolution algorithms by several iterative steps. Some examples with certain smoothness are constructed.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Antibacterial Activity of RE(III) Complexes with L-Isoleucine and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Six new ternary rare-earth (La, Eu, Sm, Nd, Y, Yb) complexes with L-isoleucine and 1,10-phenanthroline have been synthesized. Their compositions were characterized as RE(Ile)₃PhenCl₃ · 4H₂O (RE = La, Eu, Sm, Nd, Y, Yb; Ile = L-isoleucine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) by elemental analysis, EDTA titration, molar conductance measurement, UV spectra, FT-IR spectra, and TG-DTA. The average diameters of growth inhibition area and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the complexes were studied by disc diffusion method and dilution method in nutrient broth. The results showed that the ternary rare-earth complexes strongly exhibited the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and that their antibacterial effects were better than those of rare-earth chlorides, L-isoleucine, and 1,10-phenanthroline.

Synergistically toughening high‐density polyethylene with calcium carbonate and elastomer

The microstructure, impact strength, and rheological properties of blends consisting of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and maleated poly (ethylene‐octene) (POEg) and/or calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) were investigated. The improvement of impact strength of HDPE/POEg was limited due to the high miscibility between them. The introduction of CaCO₃ had a negative impact on the toughness of the matrix because of the poor interfacial adhesion. In ternary blends of HDPE/POEg/CaCO₃, an elastomer layer was formed around CaCO₃ particles due to the strong interaction between POEg and CaCO₃, which improves the HDPE‐CaCO₃ interfacial strength and the toughness of the blends. A significant enhancement of dynamic viscosity, storage modulus, and the low‐shear viscosity were observed as the results of the high miscibility of HDPE with POEg and strong interaction between POEg and CaCO₃. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermodynamic properties of ternary alloys from Monte Carlo simulations

Methods are presented for obtaining both the integral and partial molar energies, entropies and free energies of the components in rigid ternary substitutional alloy systems from the one Monte Carlo simulation. Tests of the methods for some model systems are presented and discussed.     

Applicability of Raoult's law in nonideal mixed solvents

In general, the vapor-pressure change due to the addition of a solute to a solvent mixture does not follow Raoult's law. We have demonstrated thermodynamically that if one adds to a binary solvent mixture solute and solvents in such a way that the vapor-phase composition remains constant, then the decrease of total pressure follows Raoult's law; a supplementary term which vanishes for very dilute solute concentration is introduced as a consequence of the nonideality of the ternary solution. Precise vapor-pressure measurements of dilute solutions of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes in a 40.000 wt. % water-tetrahydrofuran mixture are used in order to illustrate the applicability of Raoult's law under the above conditions. These may be regarded as a particular case of what has been called endostatic conditions, i.e., addition of a solute under constant solvent activity ratio.

The Nonexistence of Ternary [38, 6, 23] Codes

It has been shown by Bogdanova and Boukliev [1] that there exist a ternary [38,5,24] code and a ternary [37,5,23] code. But it is unknown whether or not there exist a ternary [39,6,24] code and a ternary [38,6,23] code. The purpose of this paper is to prove that (1) there is no ternary [39,6,24] code and (2) there is no ternary [38,6,23] code using the nonexistence of ternary [39,6,24] codes. Since it is known (cf. Brouwer and Sloane [2] and Hamada and Watamori [14]) that (i) n₃(6,23) = 38> or 39 and d₃(38,6) = 22 or 23 and (ii) n₃(6,24) = 39 or 40 and d₃(39,6) = 23 or 24, this implies that n₃(6,23) = 39, d₃(38,6) = 22, n₃(6,24) = 40 and d₃(39,6) = 23, where n3<>(k,d) and d<>3(n,k) denote the smallest value of n and the largest value of d, respectively, for which there exists an [n,k,d] code over the Galois field GF(3).
