A simple formulation of a stable high internal phase emulsion of dicyclopentadiene which is cured by using properly selected ring opening metathesis polymerization initiators yields highly porous monolithic materials with paramount mechanical properties and the possibility of easy functionalisation.

Due to some important applications of guanine electrode in scientific and technology research such as electro-chemical DNA based biosensors, and a problem of high redox potential of guanine (0.81 V), our research study concentrates on reducing guanine redox potential by substituting Cu, Ag, Au, CH3, C2H5 and Cl on sites of 1, 2 and 9 of guanine. A 5.0% reduction...

The investigation of copper-iodide cubane derivatives as new co-initiators for the free radical polymerization (FRP) acrylate monomers under mild irradiation conditions is described here first time.

OBJECTIVE To estimate adherence and persistence with etanercept plus methotrexate (ETN-MTX) combination therapy and MTX, hydroxychloroquine, and sulfasalazine triple therapy at 1 year following treatment initiation in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS This retrospective analysis used data from the Truven Health MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental databases from Januar...

polymerization of styrene in presence of two monofunctional initiators is studied kinetically in an ampoule scale. polymerizations were ceased at different conversions for each ampoule while the temperature was increased almost linearly during the reaction. three different initiator mixtures were used. the first mixtures were composed of benzoil peroxide (bpo) and t-butyl perbenzoate (tbpb) wit...

Consider a 0–1 observation matrix M , where rows correspond to entities and columns correspond to signals; a value of 1 (or 0) in cell (i, j) of M indicates that signal j has been observed (or not observed) in entity i. Given such a matrix we study the problem of inferring the underlying directed links between entities (rows) and finding which entries in the matrix are initiators. We formally d...

Initiation of the DNA replication checkpoint in yeast is mainly mediated by Mec1 protein kinase, the ortholog of human ATR, while its homolog Tel1, the ortholog of human ATM, has a minor replication checkpoint function. Checkpoint initiation requires stimulation of Mec1 kinase activity by specific activators. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dna2, a nuclease-helicase that is essential for Okazaki fragm...
