Two membrane-bound, reductive dehalogenases that constitute a novel pathway for complete dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene [PCE]) to ethene were partially purified from an anaerobic microbial enrichment culture containing Dehalococcoides ethenogenes 195. When titanium (III) citrate and methyl viologen were used as reductants, PCE-reductive dehalogenase (PCE-RDase) (51 kDa) ...

In this paper I examine a paradigm case of allegedly successful reductive explanation, viz. the explanation of the fact that water boils at 100°C based on facts about H2O. The case figures prominently in Joseph Levine’s explanatory gap argument against physicalism. I will study the way the argument evolved in the writings of Levine, focusing especially on the question how the reductive explanat...

The Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations is a project in representation theory of real reductive groups. The main goal of the atlas computer software, currently under development, is to compute the unitary dual of any real reductive Lie group G. As a step in this direction it currently computes the admissible representations of G. The underlying mathematics of the software is described in Al...

In this article, new metal-mediated cyclization and reductive coupling reactions of bicyclic olefins with alkynes are described. Oxabicyclic alkenes undergo cyclization with alkyl propiolates at 80 °C catalyzed by nickel complexes to give benzocoumarin derivatives in high yields. The reaction of bicyclic alkenes (oxaand azacyclic alkenes) with alkyl propiolates at room temperature in the presen...

A simple method has been developed for the reductive deoxygenation of aromatic ketones and benzylic alcohols in the presence of polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS). The reductive deoxygenation of aromatic ketones and benzylic alcohols, including secondary alcohols, to the corresponding methylene hydrocarbons has been achieved in good to excellent yields using palladium chloride (PdCl2) as catalyst a...

From the time immemorial, sodium borohydride has been used for the reagent of choice for reducing various carbonyl compounds and acid chlorides in protic solvents. Over the past decades the utility of sodium borohydride has been greatly expanded and various modifications have been developed. Reductive dechlorination of aromatic halo nitro compounds have a great significance in the field of orga...

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Assume that p is good for G. In this note we consider particular classes of connected reductive subgroups H of G and show that the cocharacters of H that are associated to a given nilpotent element e in the Lie algebra of H are precisely the cocharacters of G associated to e tha...

Consider a Hilbert space obtained as the completion of the polynomials C[z ] in m-variables for which the monomials are orthogonal. If the commuting weighted shifts defined by the coordinate functions are essentially normal, then the same is true for their restrictions to invariant subspaces spanned by monomials. This generalizes the result of Arveson [4] in which the Hilbert space is the m-shi...
