In this paper, we propose two new construction methods for quaternary Hadamard matrices. By the first method, which is applicable for any positive integer n, we are able to construct a quaternary Hadamard matrix of order 2 from a binary sequence with ideal autocorrelation. The second method also gives us a quaternary Hadamard matrix of order 2 from a binary extended sequence of period 2 − 1, wh...

New amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymers have been designed and self-assembled into water-dispersible and biodegradable polymer micelles, which exhibit good antibacterial activities without quaternary ammonium moieties or the loading of any external antibiotics due to the increased local concentration of cationic charge in the polymer micelles compared to the un-self-assembled individual polymer...

The antibacterial effect of 11 new commercially manufactured disinfectants on clinical isolates of Salmonella typhimurium DT104, Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. The substances tested represented six pure quaternary ammonium substances (QAS) and five QAS combined with other ingredients. The antibacterial efficacy was characterized by influencing the growth of bacteria...

Chronic diseases in childhood have become an important priority, especially in developed countries, because of higher prevalence, relatively and absolutely. Besides that, inappropriate procedures a chronically ill child can result in child's growth and development disorder. According to literature data, 15-20% of children have chronic disease with the impact on their physical, mental and emotio...

We show that a quaternary Jordan derivation on a quaternary Banach algebra associated with the equation f( x+ y + z 4 ) + f( 3x− y − 4z 4 ) + f( 4x+ 3z 4 ) = 2f(x) . is satisfied in generalized Hyers–Ulam stability.

Pentaerythritol/quaternary ammonium eutectic mixture as an ionic solvent: the quaternary ammonium cations can be easily controlled to exert their structure-directing effect in ionothermal synthesis of aluminophosphate microporous materials.

141 Copyright © 2016 The Korean Society for Preventive Medicine and ‘Disease’ with ‘Challenging illness’ elaborate on the contents without losing my intended meaning. I also fully agree with your argument that the family doctor as a primary care physician has to be competent in all fields. However, I have two reasons for emphasizing that clinical epidemiologists play a key role in QP. The first...

To understand why the classical two-state allosteric model of Monod, Wyman, and Changeux explains cooperative oxygen binding by hemoglobin but does not explain changes in oxygen affinity by allosteric inhibitors, we have investigated the kinetic properties of unstable conformations transiently trapped by encapsulation in silica gels. Conformational trapping reveals that after nanosecond photodi...

Tea saponin of functional ingredients extracted from camellia meal, is China's unique natural functional molecules. With silicone oil containing hydrogen and unsaturated polyether silicon hydrogenation reaction, and then esterification with tea saponin, and the tertiary amine hydrochloride reaction of tea saponin was modified organosilicon quaternary ammonium salt and its conversion rate reache...

"Protein quaternary structure universe" refers to the ensemble of all protein-protein complexes across all organisms in nature. The number of quaternary folds thus corresponds to the number of ways proteins physically interact with other proteins. This study focuses on answering two basic questions: Whether the number of protein-protein interactions is limited and, if yes, how many different qu...
