For simplicity, we adopt the following convention: i, i1, i2, i3, j, a, b, x denote integers, d, e, n denote natural numbers, f , f ′ denote finite sequences of elements of Z, g, g1, g2 denote finite sequences of ...

The spectroscopy and dissociation dynamics of I3 2 were investigated using fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. The photofragment yield of I3 2 from 420 to 240 nm was measured, yielding two broadbands at the same energies as in the absorption spectrum of I3 2 in solution. Photodissociation dynamics measurements performed with two-particle time-and-position sensitive detection rev...

The XeI anion and the corresponding neutral X1/2, I3/2, and II1/2 electronic states have been studied by means of zero electron kinetic energy ~ZEKE! and photoelectron spectroscopy. The ZEKE spectra show rich and well-resolved progressions in the low-frequency vibrations of the anion and the neutral van der Waals complexes. From our spectroscopic data we construct model potentials for the anion...

The M1-muscarinic cholinergic receptor (M1AChR) stimulates the release of inositol phosphates (IPs) but does not activate adenylyl cyclase. The beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) stimulates adenylyl cyclase but has no effect on IP release. Amino acid sequences corresponding to the second (I2) and third (I3) intracellular loops of the turkey erythrocyte beta-AR and a 12-amino acid segment near t...

MCM-D has been the solution for integrated high density packaging due to its superior line resolution and higher I/O density compared to MCM-C and MCM-L technologies. However, the consumer demand for high performance products at reduced costs is ever increasing, and this trend is expected to continue in the 21st Century. In order to find a low-cost solution for future MCM-D packaging, a novel p...

We demonstrated the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Ni nanoparticles (NiNPs) on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Our study revealed that NiNPs in a conventional I(-)/I3(-) electrolyte (NiNPs@I(-)/I3(-)) increased the net optical absorption of a N719 dye over a broad wavelength range by LSPR, and concurrently improved the power conversion efficiency (PC...

hDlg, a human homologue of the Drosophila Dig tumor suppressor, contains two binding sites for protein 4.1, one within a domain containing three PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) repeats and another within the alternatively spliced I3 domain. Here, we further define the PDZ-protein 4.1 interaction in vitro and show the functional role of both 4.1 binding sites in situ. A single protease-resistant structure...

We determine the mean number of 3-torsion elements in the class groups of quadratic orders, where the quadratic orders are ordered by their absolute discriminants. Moreover, for a quadratic order O we distinguish between the two groups: Cl3(O), the group of ideal classes of order 3; and I3(O), the group of ideals of order 3. We determine the mean values of both |Cl3(O)| and |I3(O)|, as O ranges...
