Convenient access to bicyclic and tricyclic diazenes.

Heating the tosylhydrazone of an omega-alkenyl ketone or aldehyde to reflux in toluene in the presence of K(2)CO(3) delivered the bicyclic diazene. Irradiation of the diazene converted it to the cyclopropane. This appears to be a generally useful method for the construction of substituted cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes.

Convenient access to readily soluble symmetrical dialkyl-substituted α-oligofurans.

An expedient approach to the synthesis of well soluble symmetrical dialkyl-substituted α-oligofurans containing up to 8 π-conjugated furan heterocycles is reported. An ultimate symmetry and high solubility of these α-oligofurans were guaranteed using the 3,3'-diheptyl-2,2'-bifuran core and its symmetrical elongation through Suzuki-Miyaura or Stille cross-couplings. 3,3'-Diheptyl-2,2'-bifuran wa...

Psoriatic arthritis criteria evaluation: CASPAR and Modified CASPAR.

Sirs, Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has been evaluated as a separate disease since 1964 by the American College of RheumatologyACR (1). The first and the simpliest Moll & Wright criteria (2) were followed by a number of classification criteria, but none of them survived enough to be widely used. CASPAR criteria (CIASsification criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis), are derived from a large internationa...

A Platform for Universal Access to Applications

This paper gives an insight on the services that are necessary for a system capable of supporting one practical application of the concept of Ubiquitous Computing. The applied scenario is an academic campus and it is pretended that students may access typical computer applications ubiquitously, i. e., anywhere and using any computer. We call it Universal Access to Applications. In this scenario...
