Fatty acid nitration by nitric oxide-derived species yields electrophilic products that adduct protein thiols, inducing changes in protein function and distribution. Nitro-fatty acid adducts of protein and reduced glutathione (GSH) are detected in healthy human blood. Kinetic and mass spectrometric analyses reveal that nitroalkene derivatives of oleic acid (OA-NO2) and linoleic acid (LNO2) rapi...

reaction of aryl methyl ketone with isatin in the presence of a base afforded 2- arylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (3). reaction of diazomethane with compound 3 yielded the ester 4. compound 5 was prepared from the reaction of n, n'-dialkylethyl (or propyl) arnine with 4. addition of hydrazine hydrate to compound 4a gave 2- (2- pyridyl) quinoline-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide (6). reaction of ...

In this paper we introduce and investigate similarity measures for convex polyhedra based on Minkowski addition and inequalities for the mixed volume, volume and surface area related to the Brunn-Minkowski theory. All measures considered are invariant under translations; furthermore, they may also be invariant under subgroups of the aane transformation group. For the case of rotation and scale ...

Driven by both technology and market, telecom industry is becoming a part of several converged industries in information society gradually from an independent industry which provides telecom products like voice or data. Under such background, this paper introduces a new value chain model of telecom value-added services in the new environment, providing theoretic support for transformation of te...

Additive Number Theory can be best described as the study of sums of sets of integers. A simple example is given two subsets A and B of a set of integers, what facts can we determine about A + B where A + B := {a + b | a ∈ A and b ∈ B}? We will state a result regarding this example shortly. We note that a very familiar problem in Number Theory, namely Lagrange’s theorem that every nonnegative i...

By using 193 nm laser photolysis and cavity ring-down spectroscopy to produce and monitor the propargyl radical (CH2CCH), the self-reaction and oxygen termolecular association rate coefficients for the propargyl radical were measured at 295 K between total pressures of 300 Pa and 13300 Pa (2.25 and 100 Torr) in Ar, He, and N2 buffer gases. The rate coefficients obtained by simple second-order f...
