Two noninterpenetrated MOFs with strikingly different structures, NU-108-Cu and NU-108-Zn, were prepared from a single hexa-carboxylated ligand. NU-108-Cu contains paddlewheel-coordinated copper ions as nodes and is based on a 3,24 network associated with an inherently noncatenating rht-topology. Modifications introduced in the hexa-carboxylated struts (uniquely placed phenyl spacers) lead to s...

A brief description of effective Navier-Stokes (NS) numerical technique for high temperature gas flows simulation (HIGHTEMP) is given. The NS codes have been developed for various gas-phase models from perfect gas to thermally and chemically nonequilibrium multicomponent and multitemperature gas medium. Slip effects, finite rate energy exchanges, surface catalysis and ablation can be taken into...

To recognize prohibition traffic sign, this paper proposes a novel method that is trained by small number of samples and uses the feature histogram oriented gradient (HOG) support vector machine (SVM) network. The recognition mainly divided into three stages. first stage image preprocessing, which includes interception based on ellipse detection, resizing, Gamma correction. In part interception...

Use of preformed metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) as supermolecular building blocks (SBBs) for the synthesis frameworks (MOFs) remains underexplored due to lack robust functionalized MOPs. Herein we report use polycarboxylate cuboctahedral RhII-MOPs constructing highly-connected MOFs. Cuboctahedral MOPs were with carboxylic acid groups on their 12 vertices or 24 edges through coordinative covalen...

The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) contain the major pacemaker for mammalian circadian rhythms. The SCN receive photic input both directly, via the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT), and indirectly, via the geniculohypothalamic tract (GHT), which originates in cells in the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) and anterior portions of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN). We tested whether electric...

Gibberellic acid (GA(3)) sensitivity (measured as alpha-amylase production) of the isolated aleurone tissue/deembryonated seed of two wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var Kite and var Aroona) varieties each containing either one of the dwarfing genes, Rht1 and Rht2, was increased significantly as a result of low temperature treatment. The magnitude of the low temperature-induced increase occurred wi...
