Six new metal-organic frameworks based on 2,5-thiophendicarboxylate (tdc2–) and zinc(II) ions were prepared in different reaction conditions, and their crystal structures were determined by XRD analysis. The compound [Zn(tdc)(dabco)(H2O)]·DMF (1) is based on mononuclear Zn(II) ions connected by tdc2– and dabco linkers into square-grid layered nets. The compound [Zn3(tdc)3(dabco)2] (2) is a rare...

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) offer the ability to significantly reduce fuel consumptions and emission. Management of energy is one of essential elements in the implementation of HEV. The parameters of HEV control strategy are always optimized on some one standardized driving cycle, but the different city has its own driving cycle. So the great advantage of parallel HEV is limited. This paper ...

Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) of polypurine-polypyrimidine type motifs occur very frequently in the 5' flanks of genes in plants and have recently been implicated to have a role in regulation of gene expression. In this study, 2 accessions of Catharanthus roseus having (CT)8 and (CT)21 varying motifs in the 5'UTR of Tryptophan decarboxylase (Tdc) gene, were investigated for its role in regulat...

Prior studies have shown that performance on standardized measures of memory in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is substantially reduced in comparison to matched typically developing controls (TDC). Given reported deficits in face processing in autism, the current study compared performance on an immediate and delayed facial memory task for individuals with ASD and TDC. In addition...

Against a kind of parallel hybrid electric bus which is demonstrated in a city of China, a simulation model of the parallel hybrid powertrain system is established by referring to parameters of the demonstrating bus. Regarding the Chinese typical city bus driving cycle and the bus driving cycle of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province as the driving cycles for the simulation, the fuel economy of t...

Two series of Cd(II) coordination polymers (CPs), {[Cd(bimm)2(H2O)2][(3,4-tdc)2][H2O]2}n (1a), [Cd(3,4-tdc)(bimb)]n (2a), [Cd(3,4-tdc)(bimpy)(H2O)]n (3a) and [Cd(2,3-Htdc)2(bimm)2]n (1b), {[Cd(2,3-tdc)(bimb)](H2O)}n (2b), [Cd(2,3-tdc)(bimpy)(H2O)]n (3b) where H2tdc = thiophenedicarboxylic acid, bimm = 1,2-bis(imidazol-1'-yl)methane, bimb = 1,2-bis(imidazol-1'-yl)butane and bimpy = 3,5-bis(imida...

Enterococci are considered mainly responsible for the undesirable accumulation of the biogenic amines tyramine and putrescine in cheeses. The biosynthesis of tyramine and putrescine has been described as a species trait in Enterococcus faecalis. Tyramine is formed by the decarboxylation of the amino acid tyrosine, by the tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC) route encoded in the tdc cluster. Putrescine ...

Dendritic cells (DC) are present at low density in the thymus where they mediate negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes. Previous reports suggest that thymic DC (TDC) are a single population of lymphoid-related DC. In this study, we documented the presence in the adult mouse thymus of an additional population of TDC exhibiting a myeloid phenotype (CD11c(+) CD8alpha(-) CD11b(+)). This po...

conclusions this study showed that gender, education level, occupation, socioeconomic status, medical care, health condition, lifestyle, family conflict, drug abuse history, and religious attitudes are the major social factors of risky driving on the intercity roads of tehran province. background traffic accidents are the major cause of injuries that endanger the lives of many people annually. ...

conclusions as the results of this study show, different factors contribute to different driving behaviors and accidents. the broad scope of these factors links accidents to other social issues and damages. results the findings indicated that in the psychosocial model of driving behavior (including lapses, mistakes, and intentional violations) and accidents, psychological factors, depression (p...
