Polymer-particle interactions can be effectively utilized to produce composites that possess physicochemical properties superior to that of neat polymer. The incorporation of fillers with dimensions comparable to polymer chain size produces composites with extra-ordinary properties owing to very high surface to volume ratio. The dispersion of nanoparticles is achieved by inducing steric repulsi...

In the title mol-ecule, C16H12Cl2O2Se, the C-Se-C angle is 100.05 (14)°, with the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings being 69.92 (17)°. The average endocyclic angles (Se-Car-Car; ar = aromatic) facing the Se atom are 120.0 (3) and 119.4 (3)°. The Se atom is essentially coplanar with the benzene rings, with Se-Car-Car-Car torsion angles of -179.2 (3) and -179.7 (3)°. In the c...

The title compound, C12H14N6O, consists of three pyrazole rings bound via nitro-gen to the distal ethane carbon of meth-oxy ethane. The dihedral angles between the three pyrazole rings are 67.62 (14), 73.74 (14), and 78.92 (12)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by bifurcated C-H,H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming double-stranded chains along [001]. The chains are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds,...

In the title compound, C22H23FO2S, the cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.013 (2) Å] of the benzo-furan ring system and the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 (2) Å] of the 3-fluoro-phenyl ring is 24.80 (4)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [10-1]. These chains are...

In the title hydrazone compound, C(15)H(12)Cl(2)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 12.2 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming forming C(4) chains propagating in [001].

In the title compound, C20H16N2O4, the mol-ecule adopts an E conformation about the N=C bond. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. The nitro-benzene and benz-yloxy rings are inclined to the central benzene ring by 4.34 (10) and 27.66 (11)°, respectively, and to one another by 31.40 (12)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, form...

It is widely agreed that the interaction possibilities in interactive narrative are limited by the current approach to dialog creation, which typically relies on teams of scriptwriters. This paper reports on experiments testing whether authorial leverage can be increased by methods for natural language generation of dialog in a story world called Heart of Shadows. Our experiments show that (1) ...

The search for new stationary phases has been one of the predominant concerns in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in order to achieve better resolutions, longer column lives, and reduce the time of analysis. A chromatographic packing for separation of underivatized amino acids (AAs) were prepared by dynamically coating 2-amino tetraphenyl prophyrin (atpp) on a C-18 reversed-pha...
