Serum highand low-density lipoproteins were spread between heptane and phosphate buffer. The cholesterol from both protein films became completely soluble in the heptane phase. Other neutral lipids were also found in the heptane, but phospholipids could not be detected. Shaking of whole serum or isolated lipoproteins with heptane resulted in only slight extraction of cholesterol by the fat solv...

7-Aza-bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptane (7-aza-norbornane) is a bridged heterocyclic nucleus found in epibatidine, the alkaloid isolated from the skin of the tropical poison frog Epipedobates tricolor. Since epibatidine is known as one of the most potent acetyl-choline nicotinic receptor agonists, a plethora of literature has been devoted to this alkaloid. However, there are no structural data on the unsu...

The title compound, C(12)H(17)N(5)O, was obtained by cyclo-condensation of 2,4-diamino-pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile with cyclo-hepta-none. The tetra-hydro-pyrimidine ring has a dis-torted boat conformation and the cyclo-heptane ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds generating a three-dimensional network.

Two distinct uniform hybrid particles, with similar hydrodynamic diameters and comparable zeta potentials, were prepared by copolymerizing N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and styrene. These particles differed in their styrene to NIPAM (S/N) mass ratios of 1 and 8 and are referred to as S/N 1 and S/N 8, respectively. Particle S/N 1 exhibited a typical behavior of soft particles; that is, the parti...

We apply to the primary reference fuels n-heptane and iso-octane the chemistry-guided reduction (CGR) formalism for generating kinetic hydrocarbon oxidation models. The approach is based on chemical lumping and species removal with the necessity analysis method. We demonstrate that the lumping technique can be applied to the branched peroxy radical isomers formed by iso-octane oxidation with mi...
