As is well known, operations on one particle of an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair cannot influence the marginal statistics of measurements on the other particle. We characterize the set of states accessible from an initial EPR state by one-particle operations and show that in a sense they allow two bits to be encoded reliably in one spin2 particle: One party, "Alice, " prepares an EPR pair ...

Ferrous hemeproteins and inorganic heme complexes react with nitric oxide to form six-coordinate paramagnetic complexes. These complexes exhibit strong EPR signals centered near g = 2.0 which are easily observed in frozen solution. We have obtained EPR spectra of the nitrosyl adducts of Fe(II) protoporphyrin IX-imidazole in dimethylsulfoxide and in dimethylformamide, and of myoglobin, cytochrom...

Um novo ligante macrocíclico binucleador, N,N-bis(2,6-diiminometil-1hidroxifenil)malonoildicarboxamida, foi preparado. Seus complexos metálicos foram preparados pelo método da moldagem por metal, através das reações de 2,6-diformil-4-metilfenol, malonoil diidrazida com os cloretos metálicos de Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Zn(II) e Hg(II), em methanol, que levaram à formação de uma série de c...

We numerically calculate Perelman’s entropy for a variety of canonical metrics on CP-bundles over products of Fano Kähler-Einstein manifolds. The metrics investigated are Einstein metrics, Kähler-Ricci solitons and quasi-Einstein metrics. The calculation of the entropy allows a rough picture of how the Ricci flow behaves on each of the manifolds in question.

Background: Forecasting of air pollutants has become a popular topic of environmental research today. For this purpose, the artificial neural network (AAN) technique is widely used as a reliable method for forecasting air pollutants in urban areas. On the other hand, the evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) model has recently been used as a forecasting tool in some environmental issues. In ...

The biochemical sequelae to chloroethyl mustard exposure correspond very well to toxic processes initiated by free radicals. Additionally, mustard solutions contain spontaneously formed cyclic onium ions which produce carbon free radicals when reduced electrochemically. Therefore, we hypothesized that the onium ions of sulfur or nitrogen mustards might produce carbon free radicals upon being re...

The R2 dimer of mouse ribonucleotide reductase contains a dinuclear iron-oxygen cluster and tyrosyl radical/subunit. The dinuclear diferrous form reacts with dioxygen to generate the tyrosyl radical essential for the catalytic reaction that occurs at the R1 dimer. It is important to understand how the reactivity toward oxygen is related to the crystal structure of the dinuclear cluster. For the...

Peptide-based materials provide a versatile platform for sensing and ion sequestration since peptides are endowed with stimuli-responsive properties. The mechanism of molecular is often based on peptide structural changes (or switching), caused by the binding target molecule. One scope applications selection specific analyte, which may be achieved adjusting structure site. Therefore, exact know...

Recent reports indicate that oxidized cobalamin, Cbl(III), can interfere with the biological effects of nitric oxide (NO) on vascular and visceral smooth muscle and in other systems. In attempting to elucidate the mechanism of these effects of Cbl(III), we reported that a Cbl(III)NO complex could be detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, but not by ultraviolet/visible s...
