Abstract: Olefin metathesis using ruthenium carbene complexes is a useful method in synthetic organic chemistry. Enyne metathesis is also catalyzed by these complexes and various carboand heterocycles could be synthesized from the corresponding enynes. Dienyne metathesis, cross enyne metathesis and ring-opening enyne metathesis have been further developed. Various complicated compounds, such as...

This paper ties up some loose ends in finite-state Optimality Theory. First, it discusses how to perform comprehension under Optimality Theory grammars consisting of finite-state constraints. Comprehension has not been much studied in OT; we show that unlike production, it does not always yield a regular set, making finite-state methods inapplicable. However, after giving a suitably flexible pr...

The catalytic performance of NHC-ligated Ru-indenylidene or benzylidene complexes bearing a tricyclohexylphosphine or a pyridine ligand in ring closing metathesis (RCM), cross metathesis, and ring closing enyne metathesis (RCEYM) reactions is compared. While the PCy₃ complexes perform significantly better in RCM and RCEYM reactions than the pyridine complex, all catalysts show similar activity ...

A concise and expeditious approach to the total synthesis of broussonone A, a p-quinol natural compound, has been developed. The key features of the synthesis include the Grubbs II catalyst mediated cross metathesis of two aromatic subunits, and a chemoselective oxidative dearomatizationin the presence of two phenol moieties. Especially, optimization associated with the CM reaction of ortho-alk...

this study presents an overview of the different strategies that persian learners of english employ to deal with initial clusters. while vowel epenthesis appears to be the most widespread repair strategy to conform such clusters to persian phonotactics, the location of the epenthetic vowel varies. in this paper, we investigate two approaches that seek to explain the epenthetic site. the first o...

economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers actively collaborated with economists on economic stability and feedback mechanisms. the theory of optimal control resulting from the contributio...

Alkyne metathesis (AM), the cousin of ‘noble' alkene metathesis, has attracted rapidly growing attention within past 20 years and been widely used in synthesis natural products, functional polymers, shape-persistent molecular architectures. Given some excellent reviews recent years, this article will not provide a comprehensive review catalyst development wide applications AM, but rather focus ...

Bayesian optimality criteria provide a robust design strategy to parameter misspecification. We develop an approximate design theory for Bayesian D-optimality for nonlinear regression models with covariates subject to measurement errors. Both maximum likelihood and least squares estimation are studied and explicit characterisations of the Bayesian D-optimal saturated designs for the Michaelis-M...

Abstract: Problem statement: We studied the inventory-production system with two-parameter Weibull distributed deterioration items. Approach: The inventory model was developed as linear optimal control problem and by the Pontryagin maximum principle, the optimal control problem was solved analytically to obtain the optimal solution of the problem. Results: It was then illustrated with the help ...
