A new Löwenheim-Skolem theorem

This paper establishes a refinement of the classical Löwenheim-Skolem theorem. The main result shows that any first order structure has a countable elementary substructure with strong second order properties. Several consequences for Singular Cardinals Combinatorics are deduced from this.

     

Synthesis and antibody conjugation of magnetic nanoparticles with improved specific power absorption rates for alternating magnetic field cancer therapy

Bionized nanoferrite (BNF) particles with high specific power absorption rates were synthesized in the size range of 20–100 nm by high-pressure homogenization for targeted cancer therapy with alternating magnetic fields. Several strategies were used to conjugate antibodies to the BNF particles. These strategies were compared using an immunoassay to find optimal conditions to reach a high immunoreactivity of the final antibody–particle conjugate.     

Effects of Adsorbed Polyaniline on Redox Process on MoO3 Surface

The effects exhibited by adsorbed conducting polyaniline on the redox process on a molybdenum oxide surface were studied. Thermogravimetric results indicate a 4% polyaniline deposition. Cyclic voltammograms of the adsorbed polymer on MoO3 show that polyaniline exerts remarkable effects on the molybdenum blue oxidation-reduction process, with oxidation and reduction potentials of 0.33 and 0.18 V, respectively. This effect strongly enhances the electrode response, and can be used as an important tool in qualitative and/or quantitative determinations of molybdenum in solution as well as in any substrate.

Synthesis of heterocyclic thiosulfonates

[formula: see text] A simple synthesis of heterocyclic thiosulfonates containing indole, indoline, benzoimidazole, and quinoxaline rings is described. The synthesis of these thiosulfonates involves the preparation of the appropriately substituted thiols followed by sulfonylation to give thiosulfonates. The corresponding thiols were prepared in a simple and efficient manner by using a thiocyanation reaction either prior to heterocycle ring formation or after heterocycle ring formation. These thiosulfonates were coupled successfully to the 5,6-dihydropyran-2-one ring to give products that showed excellent HIV protease activity.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of [Mn(HTPO)(BIPY)] (H3TPO = tris-(4-carboxylphenyl)phosphine oxide): a crosslinked coordination polymer

The hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound is reported. The structure consists of 1-D looped chains with the HTPO ligand binding through the phosphoryl and two carboxylate oxygens to manganese atoms. The carboxylic acid group is hydrogen bonded to adjacent chains forming a 2-D hydrogen bonded network. The crystals are triclinic and the space group isP-1 with a = 11.6767(8) Å, b = 10.8680(8) Å and c = 11.4232(87rpar; Å = 92.301(2)°, = 106.932(2)° and = 103.2390(10)° V = 1341.02(16) ų; Z = 2.     

Synthesis of [Mn(O2CCH2CH2CO2)(2,2′-bipyridyl) (H2O)2]n·H2O

The title compound exists as a 1D coordination polymer consisting of succinate anions, manganese cations and 2,2-bipyridyl molecules. Twelve water molecules are present in the unit cell and are part of a hydrogen bonding system. Some of these waters are binding to manganese cations while others are only participating in hydrogen bonding. The structure has a monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 8.2750(3) Å, b = 11.5104(3) Å and c = 16.9113(6) Å, = 95.2727(16); V = 1603.96(9) ų and Z = 4.
