Taxonomic review of the New World spider genus Elaver O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1898 (Araneae, Clubionidae).

Elaver O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1898 is characterized and redescribed, including 49 species occurring from the United States to Argentina. Thirty seven previously known species are redescribed: Elaver achuca (Roddy, 1966) revalidated, E. balboae (Chickering, 1937), E. barroana (Chickering, 1937), E. calcarata (Kraus, 1955), E. carlota (Bryant, 1940), E. chisosa (Roddy, 1966), E. crinophora (Franga...

C1py00484k 1890..1898

End-functionalized polyethylene oxides containing cleavable acetal and clickable azide terminal groups (PEO-acetal-N3 and N3-acetal-PEO-acetal-N3) were obtained by the reaction between commercially available PEOs and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether using pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate. This results in acetal-linkages which can be further functionalized by nucleophilic displacement with sodium azide. B...

Boris Ephrussi (1901-1979)

Boris Ephrussi studied fruit flies, yeast, and mouse [3] genetics and development while working in France and the US during the twentieth century. In yeast, Ephrussi studied how mutations in the cytoplasm persisted across generations. In mice he studied the genetics of hybrids and the development of cancer. Working with George Wells Beadle [4] on the causes of different eye colors in fruit flie...

CHAPTER FOUR PROTACTINIUM Boris

Protactinium, element 91, is one of the most rare of the naturally occurring elements and may well be the most difficult of all to extract from natural sources. Protactinium is, formally, the third element of the actinide series and the first having a 5f electron. The superconducting properties of protactinium metal provide clear evidence that Pa is a true actinide element (Smith et al., 1979)....
