Tetraphenylethene (TPE) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior as a popular backbone is applied widely in the construction of functional supramolecular systems. In this work, a TPE-based linear molecule having amide and amine units is synthesized. Its ammonium template is used to construct the N-hetero crown ether-based [2]rotaxane by the template-directed clipping approach. Their str...

We consider the asymptotic behavior of radially symmetric solutions of the aggregation equation ut = ∇ · (u∇K ∗ u) in R , for homogeneous potentials K = |x| , γ > 0. For γ > 2, the aggregation happens in infinite time and exhibits a concentration of mass along a collapsing δ-ring. We develop an asymptotic theory for the approach to this singular solution. For γ < 2, the solution blows up in fin...

In this article we describe the re-embodiment of biological aggregation behavior of honeybees in Jasmine micro-robots. The observed insect behavior, in the context of the insect’s sensor–actor system, is formalized as behavioral and motion-sensing meta-models. These meta-models are transformed into a sensor–actor system of micro-robots by means of a sensors virtualization technique. This allows...

It has been well-recognized that markets can aggregate less-than-perfect information across market participants. With two differently designed securities, this work examines the impact of security design on the information aggregation ability of markets in laboratory experiments. Results show that markets with one security aggregate information significantly better than markets with the other s...

Abstract Introduction Platelet aggregation plays a significant role in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, treatments to inhibit platelet aggregation can reduce the risk of coronary thrombosis. Several studies indicated that garlic can inhibit platelet aggregation. This study aimed to determine the effect of garlic in comparison with Plavix on platelet aggregation. Materials ...

protein aggregation and precipitation is associated with many debilitating diseases including alzheimer's, parkinson's, and light-chain amyloidosis. β-casein, a member of the casein family, has been demonstrated to exhibit chaperone-like activity to protect protein form aggregation. hofmeister salts (lyotropice series) are a class of ions which have an effect on the solubility and also the stab...
