Ochroconis gallopava is an anamorphic mould characterized by slow growth rate and production of a maroon pigment, which has been isolated worldwide from soil, thermal springs, decaying vegetation, and chicken litter. It has been reported to cause localized, mostly pulmonary, and systemic infection in severely immunocompromised patients. We describe the case of a 76-year-old woman known for ulce...

are oppositely arranged with short petioles and are glossy green with a touch of roughness on the upper surface. In the Boston area its nodding flowers appear in mid to late spring. Appearances notwithstanding, the sepals and petals are not differentiated (therefore termed tepals): the outer tepals are a silky white with a tinge of pink and a diameter of two to three inches, while the inner tep...

Perylene-imide derivatives are industrially important pigments that exhibit a variety of shades from red via maroon to black. In the present investigation, we have synthesized novel perylene-imide derivatives with pyridyl rings in an attempt to apply them for H2 gas sensors based upon proton acceptors. The two N atoms of the pyridyl rings which work as proton acceptors are found to remain unbon...
