The tetra-nuclear title compound, [Sn4(CH3)8(C3H7O)2O2(C3H4N3S)2], lies about a center of inversion; the mol-ecule features a three-rung-staircase Sn4O4 core in which two Sn(IV) atoms are bridged by the 4-methyl-5-sulfanyl-idene-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ide group. The negatively charged N atom of the group binds to the terminal Sn(IV) atom at a shorter distance [Sn-N = 2.236 (2) Å] compar...

About 500d after explosion the light curve of the Type Ia SN 1998bu suddenly flattened and at the same time the spectrum changed from the typical nebular emission to a blue continuum with broad absorption and emission features reminiscent of the SN spectrum at early phases. We show that in analogy to SN 1991T (Schmidt et al. 1994), this can be explained by the emergence of a light echo from a f...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic mapping with sentinel lymphadenectomy (LM/SL) is an accurate and less morbid means of determining the tumor status of the axilla in breast cancer patients than standard level I and II axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). This review addresses the handling and pathologic examination of the sentinel node (SN), the clinical significance of tumor within the SN, and the risk f...

We report on our early photometric and spectroscopic observations of the extremely luminous Type II supernova (SN) 2008es. With an observed peak optical magnitude of mV = 17.8 and at a redshift z = 0.213, SN 2008es had a peak absolute magnitude of MV = −22.3, making it the second most luminous SN ever observed. The photometric evolution of SN 2008es exhibits a fast decline rate (∼0.042 mag d), ...

In this paper, we prove that the full automorphism group of the derangement graph Γn (n ≥ 3) is equal to (R(Sn) ⋊ Inn(Sn)) ⋊ Z2, where R(Sn) and Inn(Sn) are the right regular representation and the inner automorphism group of Sn respectively, and Z2 = 〈φ〉 with the mapping φ : σ φ = σ−1, ∀σ ∈ Sn. Moreover, all orbits on the edge set of Γn (n ≥ 3) are determined.

Euphorbia macrostegia or Persian wood spurge is one of the seventeen endemic plants of this genus in Iran. Three triterpenoids: 24-methylenecycloartan-3β-ol (1), butyrospermol (2) and cycloartenol (3) and three diglycerides: 1,2-di-O-α-linolenoyl-sn-glycerol (4), 1-O-linoleoyl-3-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (5) and 1-O-α-linolenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (6) were isolated from a hexane layer of m...

Irinotecan is one of the effective anticancer agents for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-campthothecin (SN-38) is an active metabolite of irinotecan. Gefitinib and imatinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors which have clinical activities in several malignancies and they are also potent inhibitors of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transporter, which confers the resista...

The Tribonacci-Lucas sequence {Sn}{Sn} is defined by the recurrence relation Sn+3=Sn+2+Sn+1+SnSn+3=Sn+2+Sn+1+Sn with S0=3, S1=1, S2=3.S0=3, S2=3. In this note, we show that 11 only perfect square in for n≢1(mod32)n≢1(mod32) and n≢17(mod96).n≢17(mod96).

Sialoadhesin (Sn, Siglec-1, CD169) is a member of the sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin (siglec) family expressed on macrophages. Its macrophage specific expression makes it an attractive target for delivering antigens to tissue macrophages via Sn-mediated endocytosis. Here we describe a novel approach for delivering antigens to macrophages using liposomal nanoparticles displaying high affinit...
