Combustion synthesis is a special thermophysico-chemical process applied for production of intermetallic compounds. In the present work, a reaction–diffusion numerical model was developed to analyze the combustion synthesis of aluminide intermetallics by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis process. In order to verify the reliability of the numerical model, an experimental setup was desi...

Sequential reactivity is creating various kinds of macromolecular compounds with distinct prochirality using an on-surface synthesis approach.

In a formalism of top-down design, we consider the decomposition of behavioral specications into interacting sequential components. The higher level of description speci es the operations to be performed in a major computation step. The goal is to incorporate a given interface speci cation in a lower-level speci cation that accounts for interactions with and among sequential components. This co...

Behavioral synthesis, which automatically synthesizes an RTL circuit from a sequential program, is one of promising technologies to improve the design productivity. This paper proposes a function call optimization method in behavioral synthesis from large sequential programs with a number of functions. We formulate the optimization problem using integer linear programming. Our experimental resu...

SuperCollider [5] is a computer music system based on an object-oriented real-time scripting language and a separate audio synthesis server. The synthesis server is programmed using a sequential programming model and is only able to use one CPU core for audio synthesis, so it does not make full use of today’s multi-core CPUs. In order to overcome this limitation we have implemented Supernova, a...

An efficient route for the synthesis of all four diastereomers of PMP-protected α-amino-γ-butyrolacton to access γ-hydroxynorvaline was established. The asymmetric key steps comprise an organocatalytic Mannich reaction and an enzymatic ketone reduction. Three reaction steps could be integrated in a one-pot process, using 2-PrOH both as solvent and as reducing agent. The sequential construction ...

Nonviable cells of Bacillus subtilis, when made permeable by treatment under controlled conditions with nonionic detergent, can be shown to replicate DNA normally and to repair certain regions of the chromosome. The former process is stimulated by ATP in the presence of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP. The product, a result of semiconservative replication, is biologically active; synthesis of the ne...
