Two new monobasic tridentate O?N?N donor ligands, HL1 (I) and HL2 (II) have been obtained in two steps by reacting phenylhydrazine salicylaldehyde or 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde then the resulting compounds with 2-chloromethylbenzimidazole presence of triethylamine. The reaction [VIVO(acac)2] these ligands a 1:1 molar ratio dry methanol led to formation homogeneous oxidovanadium(IV) comple...

New platinum(II) complexes [PtCl(O,O'-acac)(L)] (1) and [Pt(O,O'-acac)(γ-acac)(L)] (2) (L = DMSO, a; DMS, b) containing a single chelated (O,O'-acac) (1), or one chelated and one σ-bonded (γ-acac) acetylacetonate (2) have been synthesized. The new Pt(II) complexes exhibited high in vitro cytotoxicity on cisplatin sensitive and resistant cell lines and showed negligible reactivity with nucleobas...

At the level of the cochlear nucleus (CN), the auditory pathway divides into several parallel circuits, each of which provides a different representation of the acoustic signal. Here, the representation of the power spectrum of an acoustic signal is analyzed for two CN principal cells-chopper neurons of the ventral CN and type IV neurons of the dorsal CN. The analysis is based on a weighting fu...

The central labile Al(III) core of a star-shaped tetra-nuclear metal complex, [{Delta-Ru(III)(acac)(2)(taet)}(3)Al(III)] (acac = acetylacetonato; taet = tetraacetylethanato), which was synthesized by reacting Delta-[Ru(III)(acac)(2)(taetH)] (taetH = singly protonated taet) with an Al(III) ion in solution, was found to be locked as a Lambda-form in the solid state.

Flying capacitor multi-level converters use charged capacitors as a critical element. For proper operation, the voltages must be known and regulated. Direct measurement is straightforward, but when number of required measurements high, this complicated approach. This paper introduces an estimation method for n voltages. The scheme based on system ( + 1 ) equations, which defined in way that it ...

We report a theoretical analysis of a series of heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes (dox)(2)Ir(acac) [dox = 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazolato-N,C(2), acac = acetylacetonate] (1a), (fox)(2)Ir(acac) [fox = 2,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolato-N,C(2)] (1b), (fox)(2)Ir(Et(2)dtc) [Et(2)dtc = N,N'-diethyldithiocarbamate] (2), (fox)(2)Ir(Et(2)dtp) [Et(2)dtp = O,O'-diethyldithiophosphate] (3), (pyp...

Metal-containing ionic liquids comprising cationic Pd(II) chelate complexes and the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (Tf2N) anion were prepared: [Pd(acac)(Me4en)]Tf2N (1), [Pd(acac)(BuMe3en)]Tf2N (2), and [Pd(C8-acac)(Me4en)]Tf2N (3) (acac = 2,4-pentanedionate, C8-acac = 3-octyl-2,4-pentanedionate, Me4en = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, BuMe3en = N-butyl-N,N',N'-trimethylethylenediamin...

BACKGROUND The intracellular domain (ICD) of the neurotrophin receptor, p75NTR, exhibits variably pro- and antiapoptotic activity and has been implicated in neurodegenerative and neurodestructive disease. The molecular determinants of these cellular effects are not completely understood. The "Chopper" domain of p75ICD has been shown to be proapoptotic in in vitro systems in which p75ICD is proa...

WREN d-e signals are to be amplified, the usual approach is to use a direct-coupled circuit. The difficulty of maintaining sufficiently low drift in a direct-coupled configu ration led to the development of chopper and chopper-stabilized circuits, where a mechanical chopper reduces drift to low values. Unfortunately, other shortcomings arise, and in most applications the direct-coupled d-e ampl...

Neutron choppers at spallation-neutron facilities are rotating devices that are precisely phased to chop a neutron beam. Depending on the mass, moment-ofinertia, and velocity of rotation, a chopper can have a large amount of stored kinetic energy. For example, the PHAROS T-zero chopper at the LANSCE facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory has a rotating kinetic energy of over 1 MJ. When ener...
