A new family of single-pocket metal complexes bearing O,N,O-tridentate and O,N-bidentate chelating members {Cu, 1b (P21/n); Ni, 1c (C2/c); Mn, 1d (I2/a); Cu, 2b; 2c (both P21/c)}, starting from synthesized fully characterized Zn(II) (1a; I2/a) Cu(II) (2a; C2) precursors, were conveniently prepared via cation-induced solvent-assisted ligand-induced transformations. Herein, we show multistep tran...

For many applications (e.g., disaster management, precision farming), it is required to monitor events using multi-date satellite imagery acquired over the same area. This requirement can be best met with a set of satellites whose radiometric characteristics are fully modelled. Even though there is a gamut of satellites with identical or near-identical radiometric characteristics, systematic di...

We have previously isolated the human FGF-1 gene in order to elucidate the molecular basis of its gene expression. The gene spans over 100 kbp and encodes multiple transcripts expressed in a tissue- and cell-specific manner. Two variants of FGF-1 mRNA (designated FGF-1.A and 1.B), which differ in their 5' untranslated region, were identified in our laboratory. Recently, two novel variants of FG...

Nowadays, One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem (1D-CSP) is used in many industrial processes and re-cently has been considered as one of the most important research topic. In this paper, a metaheuristic algo-rithm based on the Simulated Annealing (SA) method is represented to minimize the trim loss and also to fo-cus the trim loss on the minimum number of large objects. In this method, the 1D-...
