The blood-red plutonocene complex Pu(1,3-COT'')(1,4-COT'') (4; COT''=η8 -bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) has been synthesized by oxidation of the anionic sandwich complex Li[Pu(1,4-COT'')2 ] (3) with anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride. The first crystal structure determination of an organoplutonium(IV) complex revealed an asymmetric sandwich structure for 4 where one COT'' ring is 1,3-substit...

To enable ultrahigh capacity laser communications in future networks, CONSRT is developing all-optical buffers, high-speed lasers, broadband optical amplifiers and memory devices to replace the speed-limiting optical-electrical-optical (OEO) switching system currently used in optic fiber communication. To date, realization of an all-optical communication network has been stymied by the lack of ...

We characterized a Pinus radiata D. Don putative ortholog to the Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. SHORT-ROOT gene (AtSHR) and analyzed its expression in different organs during vegetative development and in response to exogenous auxin during adventitious rooting. The predicted protein sequence contained domains characteristic of the GRAS protein family and showed a strong similarity to the SHOR...

Mathematical Morphology is a theory that studies the decomposition of lattice operators in terms of some families of elementary lattice operators. When the lattices considered have a sup-generating family, the elementary operators can be characterized by structuring functions. The representation of structuring functions by neighborhood graphs is a powerful model for the construction of image op...
