This document proposes a framework for security in ANSA. A major concern of ANSA is support for systems that are not part of a common management hierarchy, but which nevertheless need to cooperate. The ANSA security framework shows how security may be provided, both within and between such systems. ANSA has adopted an object-based model to support the requirements of distribution. The ANSA secu...

Alkali metal complexes of two types of ansa-tris(allyl) ligand are reported; a monoanionic ansa-tris(allyl) ligand containing tin(II) is formally valence isoelectronic to the cyclopentadienyl ligand and a trianionic ansa-tris(allyl) ligand containing silicon(IV) is formally valence isoelectronic to an ansa-metallocene ligand; the potential wider use of these tripodal ligands in coordination che...

Noteworthy, both European agencies most recently have started a discussion toward strategic planning including the tools and ways safety assessments should be done. This represents a major change from their former more receiving and executing roles. It is not clear how much of this change is harmonized and coordinated, e.g., by the Agency Network Scientific Advice54 (ANSA), but they appear rath...

A new titanocenyl amide containing flavone as pendant group has been synthesized by reaction of titanocenyl carboxylic acid chloride and 7-Aminoflavone and structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods. This species and eight previously synthesized titanocenyl amide complexes have been tested in breast adenocarcinoma cancer cell line, MCF-7. The functionalization of titanocene dichloride ...

Prior to the first reported synthesis of the titanium analogue of ferrocene, bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)Ti, there was theoretical speculation as to the electronic structure of what would become known as “titanocene”. In time, the original report of a successful synthesis was apparently shown to be incorrect, and a dimeric form of the substance was postulated as the correct structure. In the presen...

This paper describes the ANSA work-in-progress on an open distributed real-time systems architecture. It examines the problem space and technology bases of open distributed real-time processing. An integrated system architecture is suggested and the benefits of the architecture are presented. It then goes on to outline the important progress of the ANSA phase 3 project to extend the ANSA archit...

Metals and metal compounds have been used in medicine for several thousands of years. In this review we summarized the anti-cancer activities of the ten most active metals: arsenic, antimony, bismuth, gold, vanadium, iron, rhodium, titanium, gallium and platinum. The first reviewed metal, arsenic, presents the anomaly of displaying anti-cancer and oncogenic properties simultaneously. Some antim...

It can be difficult to determine the number of active atoms accessible to the fluid phase in mixed oxide catalysts, as required for obtaining true turnover frequencies (TOF). Here, we utilize the selective titration of surface Ti atoms with phenylphosphonic acid (PPA) on TiO2–SiO2 materials to estimate the number of reactant-accessible sites. TiO2–SiO2 composites were synthesized over a range o...

Upper airway (UA) muscle activity is stimulated by changes in UA transmural pressure and by asphyxia. These responses are reduced by muscle relaxation. We hypothesized that this is due to a change in afferent feedback in the ansa hypoglossi and/or superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). We examined 1) the glossopharyngeal motor responses to UA transmural pressure and asphyxia and 2) how these responses...
