in this research at the first, captopril drug (ca) and its fullerene connected form (fca) wereoptimized. natural bond orbital (nbo) calculations for these compounds were carried out at theb3lyp/6-31g quantum chemistry level, in the gas phase and the liquid phase. these calculations canbe performed at different accuracy levels depending on the aim of the theoretical study [1]. forinstance, densi...

In this article, we develop the Sinc-Galerkin method based on double exponential transformation for solving a class of weakly singular nonlinear two-point boundary value problems with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. Also several examples are solved to show the accuracy efficiency of the presented method. We compare the obtained numerical results with results of the other existing methods in...

A new Schulz-type method to compute the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix is proposed. Every iteration of the method involves four matrix multiplications. It is proved that this method converge with fourth-order. A wide set of numerical comparisons shows that the average number of matrix multiplications and the average CPU time of our method are considerably less than those of other methods.

In this paper, we introduce the new class of implicit L-stable generalized hybrid methods for the numerical solution of first order initial value problems. We generalize the hybrid methods with utilize ynv directly in the right hand side of classical hybrid methods. The numerical experimentation showed that our method is considerably more efficient compared to well known methods used for the n...

In the last 25 years, the scientific and public attention paid to bunyaviruses has increased considerably.[...].

The purpose of this study was to compare the concentration of trace elements in the plasma of sea turtles that inhabited the suburban (Okinawa Main Island, n=8) and the rural coast (Yaeyama Island, n=57) in Okinawa, Japan. Particle induced X-ray emission allowed detection of 20 trace and major elements. The wild sea turtles in the suburban coast in Okinawa were found to have high concentrations...

Recently, we have proposed a redox molecular hypothesis about the natural biophysical substrate of visual perception and imagery [1,6]. Namely, the retina transforms external photon signals into electrical signals that are carried to the V1 (striatecortex). Then, V1 retinotopic electrical signals (spike-related electrical signals along classical axonal-dendritic pathways) can be converted into ...

In this study, 12 different native or LNA, carba-LNA-modified dinucleoside phosphates were designed as simple chemical models to study how carba-LNA modifications improve the 3'-exonuclease (SVPDE in this study) resistance of internucleotidic phosphate compared to those exhibited by LNA-modified and the native counterparts. Michaelis-Menten kinetic studies for dimers 3 - 7, in which the LNA or ...

BACKGROUND Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is an important, yet often neglected public health issue. The existence of gender norms imbalance expressed by men's and women's attitudes in relation to power and decision-making in intimate relationships may influence the magnitude of IPV. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and potential risk factors of physical, se...

It has been suggested that fish have more genes than humans. Whether most of these additional genes originated through a complete (fish-specific) genome duplication or through many lineage-specific tandem gene or smaller block duplications and family expansions continues to be debated. We analyzed the complete genome of the pufferfish Takifugu rubripes (Fugu) and compared it with the paranome o...
