The photodissociation dynamics of NCO have been examined using fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. Excitation of the 10 , 30 , and 10 30 2 transitions of the B̃ 2P←X̃ P band produces N(S)1CO photofragments exclusively, while excitation of the 10 30 3 transition yields primarily N(D)1CO photoproducts. The translational energy @P(ET)# distributions yield D0~N–CO!52.3460.03 eV, and D...

Competencies of Future Commanders in Network Centric Operations The continuing developments in information and communication technology transform traditional military operations in more network centric operations (NCO). Implementation of NCO not only concerns technology, but involves a transformation of almost all aspects of the military organization: doctrine, material, organization, training,...

Aims. Methyl isocyanate (CH 3 NCO) and glycolonitrile (HOCH 2 CN) are isomers prebiotic molecules that involved in the formation of peptide structures nucleobase adenine, respectively. These two species investigated to study interstellar chemistry cyanides (CN) isocyanates (NCO) gain insight into reservoir molecules. Methods. ALMA observations intermediate-mass Class 0 protostar Serpens SMM1-a ...

The cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus strain PCC7942 and Synechococcus sp. strain UTEX625 decomposed exogenously supplied cyanate (NCO-) to CO2 and NH3 through the action of a cytosolic cyanase which required HCO3- as a second substrate. The ability to metabolize NCO- relied on three essential elements: proteins encoded by the cynABDS operon, the biophysical activity of the CO2-concentratin...

There are several areas in the South African sugar industry where the ubiquitous variety, NCo 376, is beingsuperseded by newer varieties. Growers have a choice of varieties which have outyielded NCo 376 in trials under a wide range of conditions. There are others which have yielded more than NCo 376 in certain conditions. It is opportune to report the results of trials that have been conducted ...

Inverse spinel oxide NiCo2O4 (NCO) is known to exhibit ferrimagnetic characteristics and electrical conductivity. First-principles calculations predict NCO be a half-metal with negative polarization of −100%. In this study, we fabricated epitaxial NCO/MgO/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions by reactive molecular beam epitaxy observed an inverse magnetoresistance (TMR) effect −19.1% at 14 K, indicating...

The contributions of the Sgs1, Mph1, and Srs2 DNA helicases during mitotic double-strand break (DSB) repair in yeast were investigated using a gap-repair assay. A diverged chromosomal substrate was used as a repair template for the gapped plasmid, allowing mismatch-containing heteroduplex DNA (hDNA) formed during recombination to be monitored. Overall DSB repair efficiencies and the proportions...

Nicotine metabolism is decreased in smokers compared with nonsmokers, but the mechanism(s) responsible for the slower metabolism are unknown. Nicotine is inactivated to cotinine by CYP2A6 in human liver [nicotine C-oxidation (NCO)]. CYP2B6 also metabolizes nicotine to cotinine but with lower affinity than CYP2A6. To evaluate the effects of long-term nicotine treatment on hepatic levels of CYP2A...

In the clusters [Ru3(micro(3)-NPPh(3))(micro(3)-OSiMe(3))(micro-X)(micro(C,O)-OC[double bond]NPPh(3))(micro-CO)(CO)6] (X = NCO, 2; X = Cl, 3), which were prepared by a pyrolytic reaction of Ph(3)PNSiMe(3) with Ru(3)(CO)12, the ligands result from a cluster-mediated pseudo-Hofmann rearrangement involving the micro-NCO, micro(C,O)-Ph(3)P[double bond]N-CO and micro(3)-NPPh(3) fragments.
