background torque teno virus (ttv) belongs to the circoviridae family and was separated from japanese patients with elevated levels of serum alanine transferase for the first time. following this, extensive studies have been carried out around the world. objectives the present study was designed to investigate and determine the frequency of ttv genotypes in patients with chronic hepatitis b and...

AMBER (Assisted Model Building through Energy Refinement) is a molecular dynamics package that is widely used to simulate the motion of large biological molecules such as proteins and DNA. The version of AMBER investigated here is 4.1, the latest in a series jointly developed over many years by the research groups of Peter Kollman at the University of California, San Francisco, and David Case o...

In the title compound, C7H5BrN2, fused six-membered pyridine and five-membered pyrrole rings form the essentially planar aza-indole skeleton (r.m.s. deviation = 0.017 Å). In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into inversion dimers.

Feminists and other proponents of engineering diversity often encounter resistance to initiatives and programs intended to increase diversity in engineering. Supporters of diversity often suggest both strategies for attracting underrepresented group members and changes to engineering itself. It is less common for proponents of diversity to directly address the stubborn resistance to diversity t...

Problem 7.8. (a) Let ω ∈ Ω(V ). Show that there is a basis φ1, . . . , φn of V ∗ such that ω = (φ1 ∧ φ2) + · · ·+ (φ2r−1 ∧ φ2r). (b) Show that the r-fold wedge product ω∧· · ·∧ω is non-zero and decomposable, and that the (r + 1)-fold wedge product is 0. Thus r is well-determined; it is called the rank of ω. (c) If ω = ∑ i<j aijψi ∧ ψj, and A is the upper triangular matrix with Aij = aij for i <...

The title compound, C(18)H(14)N(2), was prepared by twofold Pd-catalyzed aryl-amination of a cyclic pyrido-benzo-iodo-lium salt. In the crystal, two mol-ecules of 9-benzyl-δ-carboline form centrosymmetrical dimers with distances of 3.651 (2) Å between the centroids of the pyridine rings and 3.961 (2) Å between the centroids of the pyrrole and pyridine rings. The phenyl rings point to the other ...
