Triterpene Esters Isolated from Leaves of Maytenus salicifolia Reissek

The triterpene ester (3β)‐olean‐18‐en‐3‐yl stearate ( 1 ), together with (3β)‐urs‐12‐en‐3‐yl stearate ( 2 ), and (3β)‐lup‐20(29)‐en‐3‐yl stearate ( 3 ) were isolated from leaves of Maytenus salicifolia Reissek (Celastraceae). The structure of 1 , a new compound, including its configuration, was established by ¹H, ¹³C, and DEPT‐135 NMR data, including 2D experiments (HSQC, HMBC, COSY, and NOESY). The molecular mass (692 Da) was confirmed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (CG/MS).     

”Eau de graphene” from a KC8 graphite intercalation compound prepared by a simple mixing of graphite and molten potassium

We synthesized KC₈ by simply mixing molten potassium and graphite at 180 °C under inert atmosphere. The KC₈ shows typical shiny bronze color, Raman characteristics and XRD pattern of an efficiently intercalated stage 1 GIC, and is of sufficient quality to produce fully exfoliated graphenide solutions in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and subsequently single layer graphene in water as ”eau de graphene” (EdG). The evolution of absorption and Raman spectroscopic signatures of the EdG as a function of processing conditions give key indications on the number of layers of the graphene flakes dispersed in EdG.

Evolution of a fungal ecosystem in a water distribution system to a positive bacterial biofilm subsequent to a treatment using essential oils

The present study aims to demonstrate the direct link between the microbial ecosystem of drinking water distribution systems and animal health in pig breeding. Based on a survey over 18 months, a treatment using essential oils proved to be efficient in increasing piglet health and zootechnical performance. Water pipe biofilms were monitored by laser scanning confocal microscopy, while zootechnical performance and health cost data were collected from professional organisations. In two representative monitored herds, it was observed that the drinking water distribution pipes, initially fouled by fungi, were replaced by a bacterial film while both veterinary costs and the total feed conversion ratio decreased. Essential oils may thus provide an efficient and sustainable alternative to the massive use of antibiotics for transforming an initial detrimental ecosystem to a positive biofilm.     

On the connection between tug-of-war games and nonlocal PDEs on graphs

In this paper, we are interested in the connection between some stochastic games, namely the tug-of-war games, and non-local PDEs on graphs. We consider a general formulation of tug-of-war games related to many continuous PDEs. Using the framework of partial difference equations, we transcribe this formulation on graph, and show that it encompasses several PDEs on graphs such as the ∞-Laplacian, the game p-Laplacian with and without gradient terms, and the eikonal equation. We then interpret these discrete games as non-local tug-of-war games. The proposed framework is illustrated with general interpolation problems on graphs.

Syntheses and X-ray crystallographic studies of {[Ni(en)2(pot)2]0.5CHCl3} and [Ni(en)2](3-pytol)2

Two novel Ni(II) complexes {[Ni(en)₂(pot)₂]0.5CHCl₃} (3) {pot = 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione} (1) and [Ni(en)₂](3-pytol)₂ (4) {3-pytol = 5-(3-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol} (2) have been synthesized using en as coligand. The metal complexes have been characterized by physical and analytical techniques and also by single crystal X-ray studies. The complexes 3 and 4 crystallize in monoclinic system with space group P21/a and P121/c, respectively. The complex 3 has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with trans (pot)⁻ ligands while 4 has a square planar geometry around the centrosymmetric Ni(II) center with ionically linked trans (3-pytol)⁻ ligands. The π?π (face to face) interaction plays an important role along with hydrogen bondings to form supramolecular architecture in both complexes.
