An exceptionally low coordinate nickel imido complex, (IPr*)Ni═N(dmp) (2) (dmp = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl), has been prepared by the elimination of N2 from a bulky aryl azide in its reaction with (IPr*)Ni(η6-C7H8) (1). The solid-state structure of 2 features two-coordinate nickel with a linear C−Ni−N core and a short Ni−N distance, both indicative of multiple-bond character. Computational studies us...

This paper examines how intellectual property rights (IPR) protection affects innovation and foreign direct investment (FDI) using a North–South quality-ladder model incorporating the exogenous and costless imitation of technology and subsidy policies for both R&D and FDI. We show that for the interior steady state to be stable, either R&D or FDI subsidy rates must be positive. Our findings als...

As a result of external pressures and to meet its own economic objectives, China has been moving its intellectual property rights (IPR) regime closer to those found in many more developed nations. As China’s economy grows, its transition from manufacturingbased to knowledge-based production, more comprehensive laws, and more attention to enforcement have led to an increase in the number of IPR ...

We present a systematic representation of C++, called IPR, for complete semantic analysis and semantics-based transformations. We describe the ideas and design principles that shaped the IPR. In particular, we describe how general type-based unification is key to minimal compact representation, fast type-safe traversal, and scalability. The IPR is general enough to handle real-world programs in...

Changes in proliferative activity in epithelial cells of rat lenses maintained in organ culture for 24 hours have been characterized, and the effects of isoproterenol (IPR) and cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate(cAMP) derivatives added to the culture medium have been studied. Transient mitotic inhibition occurred within the first few hours of incubation with IPR as well as with monobutyryl an...

Let (S,+) be an infinite commutative semigroup with identity 0. Let u, v ∈ N and let A be a u×v matrix with nonnegative integer entries. If S is cancellative, let the entries of A come from Z. Then A is image partition regular over S (IPR/S) iff whenever S \{0} is finitely colored, there exists ~x ∈ (S \{0}) such that the entries of A~x are monochromatic. The matrix A is centrally image partiti...

This paper provides a broad-ranging review in a global context of many aspects of developing changes in intellectual property rights (IPR) in response to the currently rapidly changing technological and information industries. As such, it covers such matters as knowledge ownership, the IPR framework, TRIPS and WTO in relation to developing countries, technology transfer and balance in a world-w...

Nitrogenase enzymes mediate the six-electron reductive cleavage of cyanide to CH4 and NH3 . Herein we demonstrate for the first time the liberation of CH4 and NH3 from a well-defined iron cyanide coordination complex, [SiP(iPr) 3 ]Fe(CN) (where [SiP(iPr) 3 ] represents a tris(phosphine)silyl ligand), on exposure to proton and electron equivalents. [SiP(iPr) 3 ]Fe(CN) additionally serves as a us...
