Two cyclic alkyl(aryl)boranes, a 1-bora-indane derivative 1, and a tricyclic derivative 4, containing the boron atom in a six-membered ring, were structurally characterized by NMR techniques in solution. The solid-state structure of the 1-bora-indane 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography. The reactivity of these cyclic alkyl(aryl)boranes towards monoalkynyltin compounds, Me3Sn–C≡C–Me and Me...

DNA nanotechnology is a rapidly developing research area in nanoscience. It includes the development of DNA machines, tailoring of DNA nanostructures, application of DNA nanostructures for computing, and more. Different DNA machines were reported in the past and DNA-guided assembly of nanoparticles represents an active research effort in DNA nanotechnology. Several DNA-dictated nanoparticle str...

This study introduces a reversible optical fulladder. Also optical NOT and NOR gates are implemented through Electro-Absorption-Modulator / Photo Detector (EAM/PD) pairs, were utilized for fulfilling reversible R gate. Then, reversible fulladder was designed based on the proposed reversible optical R gate. The operation of the suggested fulladder was simulated using Optispice and it was fou...

Recently, several light receptors have been identified in non-phototrophic bacteria, but their physiological roles still remain rather elusive. Here we show that colonies of the saprophytic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes undergo synchronized multicellular behaviour on agar plates, in response to oscillating light/dark conditions, giving rise to alternating ring formation (opaque and transluce...

The effects of local anesthetics were examined on a family of transiently expressed neuronal calcium channels. Fomocaine, a local anesthetic containing a morpholine ring, preferentially blocked (Y,~ channels (Ki = 100 PM), and had a lower affinity (3to 15fold) for (Y,~, (Y,~, and cz,c channels. Block was incompletely reversible, followed I:1 kinetics, and did not affect steady-state inactivatio...

We show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. Hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. As aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. This generalizes and simplifies a result of  Dung and   Smith. As another consequen...

AIM To investigate a possible association between the biomechanical load and unload behaviour and the elastin content of the sclera canal ring (SCR) and a superiorly localized sclera ring (SPS) in the porcine eye. METHODS Two sclera rings were trephined from each of 40 porcine eyes, one containing the SCR and the other an SPS. The load and the unload curves were measured in the extension rang...

Connexin43 (Cx43) is a major gap junction protein present in the Fischer-344 rat aorta. Previous studies have identified conditions under which selective disruption of intercellular communication with heptanol caused a significant, readily reversible and time-dependent diminution in the magnitude of alpha1-adrenergic contractions in isolated rat aorta. These observations have indentified a sign...
