Lescuraea morrisonensis (Takaki) Nog. fo. sichuanensis Wang, Hu & Redfearn reported from mainland China is synonymized to Actinothuidium hookeri (Mitt.) Broth. Filiform branched paraphyllia and triangular stemleaves which characterize A. hookeri are distinguishable from unbranched foliose paraphyllia and ovate-lanceolate stem-leaves of Lescuraea morrisonensis.

Eu(II) -based contrast agents offer physiologically relevant, metal-based redox sensing that is unachievable with Gd(III) -based contrast agents. To evaluate the in vivo contrast enhancement of Eu(II) as a function of injection type, we performed intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous injections in mice. Our data reveal a correlation between reported oxygen content and expected rates of...

Abstract Catalytic/initiated cracking of endothermic hydrocarbon fuels is an effective technology for cooling a hypersonic aircraft with high Mach number (over 5). Catalysts and initiators can promote fuel at low temperatures, increase conversion the heat sink capacity, suppress coke deposition, thereby reducing waste heat. mainly include metal oxide catalysts, noble catalysts nanoparticles, ze...

To modify the surface properties of inorganic materials, we successfully covalently attached a stable monolayer, with high grafting density, of N,N(diethyl)dithiocarbamoylbenzyl(trimethoxy)silane on the surface of silicon wafers and glass substrates, thereby creating a surface-grafted photoinitiator for “living” free radical photopolymerization. The surface-grafted initiators were utilized for ...

Abstract Most national level referendums in Europe since 1793 are initiated either by political elites or citizens. It remains unclear why these two types of initiators call for referendums. This article aims to explain under what circumstances and citizens on domestic policies. The analysis is conducted at country using an original data set that covers 461 between 2019. tests the influence fou...

Two very rapid yttrium initiators for lactide polymerisation are reported; the nuclearity (monomer vs. dimer) of the initiator controls the stereochemistry of the polylactide produced.

(Diamine)Pd(0)(dichlone)/NaBPh 4 systems have been revealed to be effective initiators for diazoacetate polymerization, yielding moderately syndiotactic polymers in moderate yields.

Quantum-chemical calculations and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that polysaccharides are able to adsorb mononucleotides due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. The subsequent dehydration of polysaccharide-nucleotide complexes in the physiologically acceptable temperature range results in the creation of “correct” DNA polymers that are “recognized” by the specific DNA-polymerases. DNA f...

Quinones are a class of compounds which have widespread importance in chemistry, biology and medicine. Because of their appropriate performance in electron transferring rate, quinones are among the most applicable mediators in biosensors. Recently, the effects of different non-metal substitutions on redox potential of quinone have been investigated to design suitable mediators for different ele...

Maximizing lines speeds on coating/drying equipment is an obvious approach to improving manufacturing economics. Insufficient dryer capacity is often an impediment to taking advantage of the mechanical speed limit for an existing line, but adding additional dryer capacity can be prohibitive due to return on investment and/or space limitations. Optimizing oven settings becomes a critical path to...
