1 Abstract DEC 4000 AXP systems demonstrate the highest performance and functionality for Digital's 4000 series of departmental server systems. DEC 4000 AXP systems are based on Digital's Alpha AXP architecture and the IEEE's Futurebus+ profile B standard. They provide symmetric multiprocessing performance for OpenVMS AXP and DEC OSF/1 AXP operating systems in an office environment. The DEC 400...

Reaction of thionyl chloride with 2-acetyl-1- benzenesulfonylpyrrole semicarbazone (6 c) gave 4 - (1- benzenesulfonyl-2 - pyrrolyl) - 1, 2, 3 -thiadiazole (lc). Selenium dioxide oxidation of 2-acetylpyrazine semicarbazone (10) in acetic acid afforded 4- (2-pyrazinyl) - 1, 2, 3- selenadiazole (4). Reaction of thionyl chloride with compound 10 gave 4- (2-pyrazinyl) - 1, 2, 3- thiadiazole (3)....
