[reaction: see text] The pH-controlled Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation (AA) of styrenes provides 1-aryl-2-amino ethanols (regioisomer B) with high enantio-, chemo-, and regioselectivity. As existing AA protocols typically give regioisomer A as the major reaction product when using carbamate nitrogen sources, this method is a convenient alternative for the selective production of regiois...

Asymmetric periflexural exanthem (APE) is a distinctive exanthem, probably viral in origin. It is largely a disease of childhood and is uncommon in adults. We report an adult man presenting with the typical clinical findings of APE.

According to the wide application of segmental lining in mechanized tunneling, recognizing the behavior of segmental lining joints is important in tunnels designing. In the structural analysis of the tunnel segmental lining, segmental joints can be considered as elastic joints, and their stiffness characteristics are affected by the rotational, shear, and axial stiffness. The purpose of this wo...

This work investigates the performance of an electromagnetic vibration harvester for two-dimensional vibrations with variable magnetic stiffness and damping. The device consists a free-to-move cylindrical structure set bearings located on top bottom, couple coils bottom finally fixed system disk-shaped magnets placed inside ring holder. number in holder can be varied to change system. is charac...

CONTEXT Greater musculotendinous stiffness may enhance spinal stretch reflex sensitivity by improving mechanical coupling of the muscle spindle and the stretch stimulus. This heightened sensitivity would correspond with a shorter latency and higher-amplitude reflex response, potentially enhancing joint stability. OBJECTIVE To compare spinal stretch reflex latency and amplitude across groups t...

BACKGROUND In addition to its role in glucose metabolism, insulin has shown to exert numerous vascular effects, and an impaired vascular function of insulin is assumed to be a major contributor in the development of vascular complications. Arterial augmentation (AP) and the augmentation index (Aix) are surrogate parameters of arterial stiffness and are commonly used as predictors for cardiovasc...

Some patients with rotator cuff tear have shoulder stiffness preoperatively. Concomitant preoperative shoulder stiffness may affect postoperative outcomes of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) for rotator cuff tear. The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes for ASD between rotator cuff tear patients with and without preoperative shoulder stiffness and to analyze ...

Leg stiffness is a predictor of athletic performance and injury and typically evaluated during bilateral hopping. The contribution of each limb to bilateral leg stiffness, however, is not well understood. This study investigated leg stiffness during unilateral and bilateral hopping to address the following research questions: (1) does the magnitude and variability of leg stiffness differ betwee...
