Independent set games are cooperative defined on graphs, where players edges and the value of a coalition is maximum cardinality independent sets in subgraph by coalition. In this paper, we investigate convexity games, as convex possess many nice properties both economically computationally. For introduced Deng et al. [5], provide necessary sufficient characterization for convexity, i.e., every...

[structure: see text] DFT and MMFF force field calculations for 2 (R = H) predict that two conformers dominate in water (>/=95%) and both sustain a geometry in which the C-F and H-N dipoles align oppositely in a near-planar arrangement. The (1)H NMR spectra (D(2)O and DMSO-d(6)) and X-ray structure for 2 (R = SO(2)NHEt) confirm the predictions in all essentials. A novel single-conformer system ...

In the title compound, C(21)H(18)O(4), tthe dihedral angle between the chromene ring system and the pendant phenyl ring is 6.1 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intermolecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the title compound, C(24)H(21)NO(2), the pendant benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 86.66 (18)° with respect to the adjacent aromatic ring of the carbozole unit. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Helical polymer brushes with a preferred-handed helix-sense composed of a poly(phenylacetylene) backbone and poly(phenyl isocyanate) pendants are synthesized. The helix-sense of the backbone is effectively controlled by the helical chirality of the pendants, which is triggered by an optically active group introduced at the pendant terminal.

AIM This paper investigates the acceptance of in-home telehealth by frail older adults and carers of the Transition Care Program (TCP), and evaluates telehealth acceptance as a predictor for usage compliance. METHOD A STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE OF PARTICIPANTS WAS ALLOCATED TO ONE OF FIVE GROUPS: either a control group or to receive telehealth monitoring of their vital signs for a period of 12 ...

The novel 4'-(ammoniummethylene)benzo-18-crown-6 cation was synthesized as a hexafluorophosphate salt and found to exist as a cyclophane-like dimer in the solid state, gas phase and in acetonitrile solution.

Two types of polycations with pendant active groups were synthesized: one is polymethacrylate containing pendant biguanide units, and the other is poly(vinylbenzyl ammonium chloride). The two polycations were found to exhibit higher bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus than the corresponding monomers. Fractionation of the polycations was successfully performed on gel filtration c...

The synthesis of new vicinal diamines based on aziridine and azetidine cores as well as the comparison of their catalytic activities as ligand in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction are described in this communication. The synthesis of threeand four-membered ring heterocycles substituted by a methylamine pendant arm is detailed from the parent nitrile derivatives. Complexation to palladium und...
