A pillar[5]arene-fused cryptand with two different cavities was synthesized successfully. It was found that the novel tricyclic host could associate with two different guest species in an orthogonal manner. And based on this orthogonal self-assembly of two host-guest interactions, a novel type of supramolecular polymer was constructed easily and conveniently.

In this work we will combine two important notions for the argumentation community into Abstract Argumentation Frameworks (AFs). These notions correspond to Toulmin’s backings and Pollock’s undercutting defeaters. We will define Backing-Undercutting Argumentation Frameworks (BUAFs), an extension of AFs that includes a specialized support relation, a distinction between different attack types, a...

An N-fused BDOPV derivative, NBDOPV, was designed and synthesized. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of NBDOPV were systematically investigated. The NBDOPV-based conjugated polymer PITET shows a large hole mobility of 1.92 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).

INTRODUCTION Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the Gow-Gates and Vazirani-Akinosi techniques in patients presenting with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of the Gow-Gates and Vazirani-Akinosi techniques using 3.6 mL 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in mandibular posterior ...

The effects of supplemental potassium were studied on growth, ion concentration and anatomical parameters in one year old olive trees, Olea europaea L., grown in sand culture in greenhouse at different levels of NaCl for 80 days. The experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design as a factorial. Factor one was salinity (0, 40 or 80 mM NaCl) and the second factor was potassium leve...

Introduction: Odontogenic malformations of teeth can be frequently encountered affecting both the primary and permanent dentition. The co-occurrence talon cusp in a fused tooth, however, is an uncommon developmental dental aberration that necessitates variety prophylactic procedures to minimize potential consequences. Often, presence talon's result pulpal necrosis due its deep extension, which ...

to investigate the effect of supplemental irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer on kernel weight, test weight and wheat grain yield under dryland conditions, a two-year field experiment was conducted in the research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university during 2004-2005. five irrigation regime including dryland conditions, irrigation at stem elongation, booting, flowering and grain fil...

Periodontal diseases are bacterial infections that occur at or below the gum line. In contrast to gingivitis, which affects only the gums, periodontitis (severe periodontal disease) may involve the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth. An estimated 70 percent of the adult U.S. population is affected by these infections. This includes 20–30 percent who have periodontitis that threatens the ...
