Pot-shaped fluorescent aggregates of 6,6-dicyanopentafulvene derivative serve as reactors and stabilizers for the preparation of luminescent ZnO nanoparticles, which exhibit high catalytic efficiency in one-pot multicomponent synthesis of tetrahydropyridines.

A tandem electrosynthesis of homoallylic alcohols from alcohols in one-pot was realized. In virtue of this one-pot electrosynthesis, the traditional reaction substrates of allylation were broadened from carbonyl compounds to alcohols.

We consider a model of dynamic price competition to analyze the impact of consumer inertia on the ability of firms to sustain high prices. Three main consequences are identified: (i) maintaining high prices does not require punishment strategies when firms are sufficiently myopic, (ii) if buyers are sufficiently inert, then high prices can be sustained for all discount factors, and (iii) the ab...

We aimed to develop alternative fishing gear for catching the common octopus, to decrease the use of bait and operating costs in comparison to commercial net pots. A tubular-type pot was designed, and behavioral responses of the common octopus were experimentally monitored in tank and replicated 10 times to compare fishing performances between 300 experimental and 300 commercial net pots in the...

The effect of ball-milling on physicochemical properties of maize starch was evaluated. Results found that the cold water solubility (CWS) of maize starch was positively correlated with the time of milling up to 3 h. There was no significant influence of using a ceramic pot versus a stainless steel pot on CWS. However, following 5 h of ball-milling CWS increased quite dramatically in the cerami...

The goal of this study is to prospectively assess the additional value of oblique reformatted images for localizing POT, having surgery as a reference standard. Materials and Methods. 102 consecutive patients with suspected small bowel obstruction (SBO) underwent 64-slice multidetector row CT (MDCT) using surgical findings as reference standard. Two independent GI radiologists reviewed the CT s...

Worldwide, the number of professional and sports divers is increasing. Most of them breathe diving gases with a raised partial pressure of oxygen (PO2 ). However, if the PO2 is between 50 and 300 kPa (375-2250 mmHg) (hyperoxia), pathological pulmonary changes can develop, known as pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT). Although in its acute phase, POT is reversible, it can ultimately lead to non-reve...

The physico-chemical characteristics as well as chemical composition of Arachis hypogaea shell (AHS) ash were evaluated by different techniques such as X-Ray fluorescence, X-Ray diffraction and thermo-gravimetry. The material, which is considered a by-product obtained from Groundnut shelling, was investigated as a potential fertilizer, energy source and as animal feeds. And this will provide a ...
