The Z-selective cross metathesis of allylic-substituted olefins is explored with recently developed ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts. The reaction proceeds with excellent stereoselectivity for the Zisomer (typically >95%) and yields of up to 88% for a variety of allylic substituents. This includes the first synthesis of Z-a,b-unsaturated acetals by cross metathesis and their elaboration to ...

Problem 1 [30 points]: Consider a ring network with nodes 1,2,...,K. In this network, a customer that completes service at node i exits the network with probability p, or it is routed to node i+1 with probability 1-p, for i = 1,2,...,K-1. Customers that complete service at node K, either exit the network, or are routed to node 1, with respective probabilities p and 1-p. At each node, external c...

Aperture Uncertainty One of the key concerns when performing IF sampling is that of aperture jitter or aperture uncertainty. The terms aperture jitter and aperture uncertainty are frequently interchanged in text. In this application, they have the same meaning. Aperture uncertainty is the sample-tosample variation in the encode process. Aperture uncertainty has three residual effects: the first...

Biological vesicles are composed of a phospholipid membrane bi-layer, which has folded on itself to form a spherical structure with an aqueous cavity. We propose that synthetic vesicles, termed liposomes, composed of speciic species of phospholipids might provide a useful architecture for the execution of some existing algorithms for DNA based computation. In this model, the liposomes would ser...

The role of CTL tolerance in tumor immunity to SV40 large T antigen (T ag)-induced tumors was studied using T ag transgenic mice of the line 501 (H2b). 501 mice express SV40 T ag under the influence of the alpha-amylase promoter, which leads to the development of osteogenic osteosarcomas late in life and eventual death between 12 and 17 months of age. We determined the ability of 501 mice to re...

Complementary neuronal recordings and functional neuroimaging in human subjects show that the primary taste cortex in the anterior insula provides separate and combined representations of the taste, temperature and texture (including fat texture) of food in the mouth independently of hunger and thus of reward value and pleasantness. One synapse on, in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), these senso...
