Correct nomenclature for stereo isomers

Attitudinally correct nomenclature.

A suggested new nomenclature for the isomers of isocitric acid.

The destrorotatory enantiomorph of isocitric acid is found in substantial amounts in the leaves of plants of the family Crassulaceae. As a member of the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle, it is also presumably present, although doubtless in only trace amounts, in all living cells in which this biochemical mechanism for respiration occurs. It is, accordingly, a substance of considerable importance ...

Assessment of dronabinol and its stereo-isomers

F. WHO Review History: Dronabinol was included in Schedule I of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances at the time of its adoption as Delta-9tetrahydrocannabinol together with several other isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol. At its 26 meeting, ECDD recommended that dronabinol, which is the (-)-trans isomer of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, be moved to Schedule II, while keeping the other s...

A new nomenclature for fungi

Important changes brought about by the Melbourne International Code of Nomenclature for Algae,FungiandPlantsare briefly reviewed concerning a clarification of the spelling and typification of sanctioned fungal names, the recognition of electronic publication for the validity of nomenclatural novelties, permission to use English diagnoses or descriptions for their valid publication, and the requ...

Variational approach to interpolate and correct biases in stereo correlation

It’s well known that DEMs (Digital Elevation Models) obtained by stereo correletion techniques suffer from adhesion phenomenon, which is a distortion of the model that appears near strong discontinuties or borders of the image. This phenomenon is directly related to the correlation process, and the magnitudes of the artifacts cannot be neglected when trying to obtain sub-pixel accuracies. The w...
