The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of isolated alterations in mineral content on mouse bone torsional properties. The femora and tibiae from 25 eight-week-old male A/J strain mice were divided into five groups and selectively decalcified from 5% to 20%. The right femora were then tested to failure in torsion while the tibiae were ashed to determine final mineral content of th...

[reaction: see text] The pH-controlled Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation (AA) of styrenes provides 1-aryl-2-amino ethanols (regioisomer B) with high enantio-, chemo-, and regioselectivity. As existing AA protocols typically give regioisomer A as the major reaction product when using carbamate nitrogen sources, this method is a convenient alternative for the selective production of regiois...

Asymmetric periflexural exanthem (APE) is a distinctive exanthem, probably viral in origin. It is largely a disease of childhood and is uncommon in adults. We report an adult man presenting with the typical clinical findings of APE.

Optically active -arylalkylamines are an important class of compounds that are widely used in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis, and much effort has been made to develop efficient asymmetric synthetic methods for them.[1] Asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation of enamides, initiated by Kagan et al. ,[2] provides a direct and convenient route to chiral amine derivatives. However, many well-known ...

We prove that the diffusion coefficient for the asymmetric exclusion process diverges at least as fast as t 1/4 in dimension d = 1 and (log t) 1/2 in d = 2. The method applies to nearest and non-nearest neighbor asymmetric exclusion processes.

In this paper, we rigorously prove the existence and stability of K-peaked asymmetric patterns for the Gierer-Meinhardt system in a two dimensional domain which are far from spatial homogeneity. We show that given any positive integers k1, k2 ≥ 1 with k1 + k2 = K, there are asymmetric patterns with k1 large peaks and k2 small peaks. Most of these asymmetric patterns are shown to be unstable. Ho...

The motion of a test particle in the vicinity of exterior resonances is examined in the context of the planar, circular, restricted three-body problem. The existence of asymmetric periodic orbits associated with the 1 : n resonances (where n = 2, 3, 4, 5) is confirmed; there is also evidence of asymmetric resonances associated with larger values of n. A detailed examination of the evolution of ...
