Chemistry Counts!

Controversy in chemistry: what counts as evidence?--Two studies in molecular structure.

Chirality counts?

Baclofen is the P-chlorophenyl derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) derivative with an antispasmodic action and is used as a central acting muscle relaxant. GABA is a suppressive neurotransmitter widely distributed in the peripheral and central nervous systems (1). Baclofen [3-(p-Chlorophenyl)4-aminobutanoic acid], is a GABA B agonist. Baclofen has both presynaptic and post synaptic act...

Concurrency Counts

One of the natural examples to the power of concurrency is the ability to count to n with log n concurrent processes. In this work we study the cost of counting within weaker types of concurrency, where no cooperation takes place between the concurrent processes, except when time comes to decide whether the input should be accepted. We first study the number of states required for deterministic...

Counts count

Based on the 2006 edition of the Model Size Metrics workshop, we believe that counts are undervalued as useful model metrics. In this position paper, we provide arguments from the literature so as to consider counts as important metrics for the model measurement. We then state associated issues and sketch a model-driven framework to raise the abstraction level of the implementation of model met...

CHROMOSOME COUNTS IN SOME MOSSES OF IRAN

Cytological information is absolutely lacking for the Iranian moss flora (Bryophytes). The present research, dealing with cytological studies on the following five species (including two expressions and one variety) of Iranian mosses, namely, Amblystegium riparium (Hedw.) B.S.G. “brevipes” expression(n=20), A. riparium (Hedw.) B.S.G. “pennellii” expression (n=9, 9+m, 9+2m), A. serpens (Hedw.) B...
