The susceptibility of ring networks to disconnection as a result of one or two node/link failures has led to a number of proposals to increase the robustness of such networks. One class of proposals, discussed primarily in the networking and communication communities, but also advocated for use in parallel and distributed systems, involves the provision of a second ring to improve system throug...

Septins perform diverse functions through the formation of filaments and higher-order structures. However, the exact architecture of septin structures remains unclear. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, septins form an 'hourglass' at the mother-bud neck before cytokinesis, which is converted into a 'double ring' during cytokinesis. Here, using platinum-replica electron microscopy, w...

In the title compound, C25H19ClN2O5S, the phenyl ring forms dihedral angles of 79.62 (12) and 80.02 (13)° with the indole ring system and the benzene ring, respectively. The nitro group is twisted at an angle of 22.39 (11)° with respect to the attached benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules assemble into double layers in the ab plane via C-H⋯O inter-actions.

The title compound, C(23)H(19)FN(2)O(3)S, a fused-pyrimidine derivative, displays dihedral angles between the thia-zole ring and the benzene ring and substituted benzene ring of 7.10 (14) and 3.48 (12)°, respectively. The dihydro-pyrimidine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The olefinic double bond is in a Z configuration.
