Forty-one chiral sulfoxides and sulfinate esters were separated using sulfated beta-cyclodextrin and carboxymethyl beta-cyclodextrin as chiral selectors. Binding constants of some analytes to both chiral selectors were measured in order to examine and help explain the observed migration behavior and enantioselectivity trends. Overall, sulfated beta-cyclodextrin separated a greater number of com...

Transductive methods are useful in prediction problems when the training dataset is composed of a large number of unlabeled observations and a smaller number of labeled observations. In this paper, we propose an approach for developing transductive prediction procedures that are able to take advantage of the sparsity in the high dimensional linear regression. More precisely, we define transduct...

ReRAM has been considered as a promising candidate to overcome scaling limits of the conventional FLASH memory due to its superior performance. To realize the high density memory, 3D cross-point array or vertical ReRAM are necessary [1]. To integrate cross-point (4F) ReRAM device array, we need to develop bi-directional selector device to suppress the sneak current path through the unselected d...

A chiral selector of cellulose-2,3-bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CBDMPC) was synthesized by reacting 3,5-dimethylphenyl isocyanate with microcrystalline cellulose dissolved in an ionic liquid of 1-allyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride (AMIMCl). The obtained chiral selector was effectively characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and 1H NMR. The selector was reacted with 3-am...

A common approach in resolving enantiomers of chiral basic drugs by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is to use cyclodextrins (especially their anionic derivatives) as chiral selector in the acidic buffer (pH ≤ 3) in normal or reversed (carrier) mode. Then, some organic modifiers are added to the buffer solution if the resolution is not satisfactory. In case of cetirizine (CTN), applying the same ...

Two chimpanzees were trained to select among 2 different amounts of candy (1-6 items). The task was designed so that selection of either array by the active (selector) chimpanzee resulted in that array being given to the passive (observer) animal, with the remaining (nonselected) array going to the selector. Neither animal was able to select consistently the smaller array, which would reap the ...
