Cathodic hydroxylation of organoboron compounds was successfully performed under an oxygen atmosphere, producing the corresponding phenol derivatives with high selectivity and efficiency.

Cytokines are subdivided in 12 sub-families and are described as multi-functional molecules that play an important biological activity in host defense system against pathogens, in homeostasis, tissue repair, cell growth and development. CytokineDB is an annotated database that collects biological information regarding the cytokines family in human and will be periodically updated by including n...

We report the results of experiments designed to test the impact of social status on learning in a coordination game. JEL codes: C92, C7, Z13 *Thanks to the participants in the Coordination Success Conference in Honor of Raymond Battalio for insightful suggestions. Chuck Manski and Thomas Schelling provided valuable comments on an earlier draft. Research assistance was provided by Christy Aroop...

Comparative analysis of metabolic pathways in different genomes yields important information on their evolution, on pharmacological targets and on biotechnological applications. In this study on glycolysis, three alternative ways of comparing biochemical pathways are combined: (1) analysis and comparison of biochemical data, (2) pathway analysis based on the concept of elementary modes, and (3)...

We propose a new way of using geometric transitions to study metastable vacua in string theory and certain confining gauge theories. The gauge theories in question are N = 2 supersymmetric theories deformed to N = 1 by superpotential terms. We first geometrically engineer supersymmetry-breaking vacua by wrapping D5 branes on rigid 2-cycles in noncompact Calabi-Yau geometries, such that the cent...

Existing thermal-aware 3D placement methods assume that the temperature of 3D ICs can be optimized by properly distributing the power dissipations, and ignoring the heat conductivity of though-silicon-vias (TSVs). However, our study indicates that this is not exactly correct. While considering the thermal effect of TSVs during placement appears to be quite complicated, we are able to prove that...
