The newly measured ionization potential of atomic astatine is discussed and compared with that the recently determined value for polonium other halogens. Regularities in these values are applied to understanding energetics diatomic Some surprises remain.

Various aldoximes and ketoximes were selectively reduced to the corresponding amines by catalytic transfer hydrogenation employing low cost magnesium powder and ammonium formate at room temperature. Many other functionalities such as halogens, –OH, –OCH3, –COOH and –CH3 remained unaffected. The hydrogenation is fast, mild, clean, cost effective and high yielding.

This paper presents a transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) with bowtie-antenna silicon lens for gas spectroscopy at 222-270 GHz, which are fabricated in IHP’s 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The TX RX use two integrated local oscillators 222 – 256 GHz 250 270 switched dual-band operation. Due to its directivity of about 27 dBi, the single enables an EIRP 25 dBm TX, therefore considerably higher 2...

The Greek coastal waters are subjected to harmful algal bloom (HAB) phenomena due to the occurrence of species characterized as toxic (TX), potentially toxic (PT), and non-toxic, high biomass (HB) producers causing harm at multiple levels. The total number of (TX), (PT) and (HB) algae reported in this work are 61, but only 16 species have been associated with the occurrence of important HABs ca...

Work has continued on the "analysis-by-synthesis" programs (1, 2) for the TX-0 computer, with an emphasis on gaining greater precision in the matching of vowel and consonant spectra, greater ease in manipulating test spectra, and a better understanding of various error criteria. Collaterally with the automatic resolution of spectra leading to the development of speech-recognition systems, atten...

The goal of this project is to comprehensively model the activity-travel patterns of workers as well as non-workers in a household. The activity-travel system will take as input various land use, socio-demographic, activity system, and transportation level-of-service attributes. It will provide as output the complete daily activity-travel patterns for each individual in the household. In additi...

Stem cells are extensively used for regenerative purposes as they unspecialized capable of renewal and differentiation. Growth factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) play a crucial role in enhancing the potential stem cells. The present study was designed to elucidate effects VEGF preconditioning accelerating adipose-derived (ADSCs) wound healing. In vivo carried out using femal...
