A duty to protect exists in this age great losses plant animal life, but public communities are not always agreement regarding what deserve protection. Using a case study,...

Reaction of a nucleobase with nitrosonium ion leads to its diazotization. Due to the instability,the nucleobase-diazonium assumingly falls in dediazotization and successive ring openingreactions. The resulting intermediate of the ring opening reaction is able to covalently cross-linkthe opposite strands of DNA. To examine this assumption for cytosine, some 4-amino-5-cyanopyrimidines were synthe...

The peer-to-peer (P2P) network of blockchain used to transport its transactions and blocks has a high impact on the efficiency security system. P2P topologies popular blockchains such as Bitcoin Ethereum, therefore, deserve our highest attention. current Ethereum explorers (e.g., Etherscan) focus tracking block transaction records but omit characterization underlying network. This work presents...
