The fluorescence spectrum of aqueous phenazine (PZ), an N-heterocyclic compound, shows some interesting features that indicate the formation of PZ-water complex in the excited state. Two types of complexes are postulated; Type I, formed by the association of water molecule with one of the nitrogen of PZ and Type II, formed by the association of water molecules with both the nitrogen of PZ. In a...

ed actuation: Inflation by force in normal direction Actuation location: applied to membrane Actuation type: PZ (force in local z-direction) Support condition: 1 x Fixed support (YP = PX + PZ) 1 x Pinned support (PP = PX + PY + PZ)

We consider the families of finite Abelian groups Z/pZ × Z/pZ, Z/pZ and Z/pZ×Z/qZ for p, q two distinct prime numbers. For the two first families we give a simple characterization of all functions whose support has cardinality k while the size of the spectrum satisfies a minimality condition. We do it for a large number of values of k in the third case. Such equality cases were previously known...

Metalation of 3-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (HPz, 1) with alkyllithium and -zinc compounds in tetrahydrofuran (thf) yields dinuclear products [(thf)Li(Pz)]2 (2) and [MeZn(Pz)]2 (3), respectively. Magnesiation of 1 with diethylmagnesium in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of 1,4-dioxane leads to cocrystallization of mononuclear [(thf)2Mg(Pz)2] (4a) and [(diox)2Mg(Pz)2] (4b). Metalation of 1 with...

Monometallic complexes of the tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate ligand [ML(2){B(pz)(4)}] {M = Rh, Ir; L(2) = eta-cod, eta-nbd, (CO)(2), (CO)(PPh(3))} have two free pyrazolyl rings which can be coordinated to a second ML(2) unit to give the dimeric compounds [L(2)M{mu-B(pz)(4)}ML(2)](+), and to a metal halide to give heterobimetallic species [L(2)M{mu-B(pz)(4)}M'Cl(2)]. (1)H NMR spectroscopy shows that ...

An extended range of novel ruthenium phosphaalkene complexes of the type [Ru{η-N:η-P,C-P(pz)=CH(SiMe2R)}(CO)(PPh3)2] (R = Tol, C6H4CF3-p; pz = pzMe2, pzCF3, pzMe,CF3; R = Me, C6H4CF3-p; pz = pzPh) have been prepared from the respective ruthenaphosphaalkenyls [Ru{P=CH(SiMe2R)}Cl(CO)(PPh3)2] upon treatment with Lipz. Where R = C6H4CF3-p and pz = pzMe2 the complex is characterized by single crysta...

It is well known that small amount Piperazine (PZ) enhance the CO2 absorption properties of tertiary amine aqueous solution. Because the tert-amine has the lower heat of reaction, the blended amine solution, tert-amine with PZ, is attractive for low energy absorbent. There are some reports about the investigation of the mechanism of the blended amine solution, however, there still a difficulty ...

Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent factor identified in human plasma in 1984 but it has no enzymatic activity. It is a cofactor of a serpin, the protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI), and the complex PZ/ZPI inhibits activated factor X on phospholipid surfaces. In mice, the disruption of PZ or ZPI gene is asymptomatic, but enhances the thrombotic phenotype and mortality of other thro...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that there are four zones of distinct venous patterns around the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ); i.e. truncal, perforating, palisade (PZ) and gastric zones. Using the distal end of PZ as a marker for GEJ, this study was done to assess the length and patterns of PZ in Koreans, and to assess the prevalence of endoscopic Barrett's esophagus (E-BE) and hiatal hernia...

This study was designed to investigate the different involvements of prostatic stromal cells from the normal transitional zone (TZ) or peripheral zone (PZ) in the carcinogenesis of prostate cancer (PCa) epithelial cells (PC-3) in vitro and in vivo co-culture models. Ultra-structures and gene expression profiles of primary cultures of human prostatic stromal cells from the normal TZ or PZ were a...
