introduction: cochlear implantation (ci) improves language skills among children with hearing loss. however, children with cis still fall short of fulfilling some other needs, including musical perception. this is often attributed to the biological, technological, and acoustic limitations of cis. emotions play a key role in the understanding and enjoyment of music. the present study aimed to in...

the synthesis of the title compound is described. deprotection of cis(n-trityl-3-azido-4-styryl)-2-azetidinone to cis-(3-azido-4-styryl)-2-azetidinone was found to be accelerated by the special salt effect under acidic condition

Cis-regulatory DNAs control the timing and sites of gene expression during metazoan development. Changes in gene expression are responsible for the morphological diversification of metazoan body plans. However, traditional methods for the identification and characterization of cis-regulatory DNAs are tedious. During the past year, computational methods have been used to identify novel cis-DNAs ...

The bis-carbonyl Fe(II) complex trans-[Fe(PNP-iPr)(CO)2Cl]+ reacts with Zn as reducing agent under a dihydrogen atmosphere to give the Fe(II) hydride complex cis-[Fe(PNP-iPr)(CO)2H]+ in 97% isolated yield. A crucial step in this reaction seems to be the reduction of the acidic NH protons of the PNP-iPr ligand to afford H2 and the coordinatively unsaturated intermediate [Fe(PNPH-iPr)(CO)2]+ bear...

the synthesis of cis-n-[a-carbobenzyloxy-b-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-3-phthalimido-4-styryl-2-azetidinone is described. we have found that the electron-rich schiff bases can afford the cis-b-lactam ring even in the presence of the free hydroxyl functions. the mechanisms of cis and trans-b-lactam ring formation are discussed. the discussions are consistent with the recent publications.

BACKGROUND Fatigue is a common symptom both in diseases status and in healthy subjects. Various supplements and nutraceuticals for relieving of fatigue have been used. However, there are a few studies to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the drug for fatigue alleviation, we conducted using URSA Complex to evaluate the efficacy on physical fatigue via score changes in the checklist individ...

The role of Ti(Oi-Pr)(4) Lewis acid (LA) in the cooperative N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/LA catalyzed addition of enals to enones to yield cis-cyclopentenes has been investigated using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G** computational level. Ti(IV) effectively catalyzes the reaction by formation of a complex with cinnamaldehyde 1, which favors the nucleophilic attack of NHC 5 on 1, and the subsequ...

Cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) chaperones 11-cis-retinal to convert opsin receptor molecules into photosensitive retinoid pigments of the eye. We report a thermal secondary isomerase activity of CRALBP when bound to 9-cis-retinal. UV/vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopy were used to characterize the product as 9,13-dicis-retinal. The X-ray structure of the CRALBP mutant R234W:9-cis-re...

The kinetics of CO2 uptake by the cis-[Cr(C2O4)(BaraNH2)(OH2)2] complex cation and the acid hydrolysis of the cis-[Cr(C2O4)(BaraNH2)OCO2] complex anion (where BaraNH2 denotes methyl 3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-β-D-arabino-hexopyranoside) were studied using the stopped-flow technique. The reactions under study were investigated in aqueous solution in the 288–308 K temperature range. In the case of the r...
