We report the kinetic study of the substitution reaction of a cationic platinum(II) complex [Pt(dpma)Cl](+) (dpma identical with di(2-picolyl)amine) with thioacetate in room temperature ionic liquids {[C(4)C(1)im][NTf(2)], [C(4)C(1)py][NTf(2)], [C(4)C(1)py][OTf] and [(C(3)O)C(1)im][NTf(2)]} and molecular solvents (water, methanol and DMSO). The reaction was studied as a function of the nucleoph...

We consider insurance markets with adverse selection and propose a mechanism under which a separating Nash equilibrium always exists (even when a Rothschild-Stiglizt equilibrium does not). This equilibrium is unique and always (interim) incentive efficient. In our setting, the Rothschild-Stiglizt equilibrium exists and coincides with ours only if the former is incentive efficient. Otherwise, ou...

PURPOSE To evaluate the antiangiogenic potential of topical ophthalmic formulations of the novel angiostatic steroids AL-3789 and AL-4940, using a rabbit model of corneal neovascularization. METHODS Neovascularization was induced in the rabbit cornea by surgical implantation of a standard ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (Elvax-40) pellet containing 1 microg lipopolysaccharide. Coded formulat...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In the last decade, genomic studies using DNA markers have strongly influenced the current phylogeny of angiosperms. Genome size and ploidy level have contributed to this discussion, being considered important characters in biosystematics, ecology and population biology. Despite the recent increase in studies related to genome size evolution and polyploidy incidence, only a ...
