The effective equations of motion for low-frequency mean gauge fields in the Abelian Higgs model are investigated in the presence of a scalar condensate, near the high temperature equilibrium. We determine the current induced by an inhomogeneous background gauge field in the linear response approximation up to O(e), assuming adiabatic variation of the scalar fields. The physical degrees of free...

The stereoselective synthesis of cathepsin inhibitors from indoline type epoxyamides is described. The use of this type of epoxyamides permitted the preparation of E-64 and CA-074 related compounds depending on the order in which the key steps, the oxidation of indoline amides to indole amides and oxidative acetal cleavage were undertaken. By taking advantage of the facile substitution of the i...

We present CO (J = 1 → 0) and CO (J = 2 → 1) spectra for 19 bright, late–type galaxies (spirals) in the central region of the galaxy cluster Abell 1367 (z = 0.02) from observations made with the IRAM 30–m telescope. All 19 spirals were observed at the position of their optical center and for a subset, at multiple positions. For each spiral the integrated CO (J = 1 → 0) intensity from the centra...
