The H2 molecule has two nuclear spin isomers, the so-called ortho and para isomers. Nuclear conversion (NSC) between these states is forbidden in gas phase. energy difference lowest as large 14.7 meV, corresponding to ~170 K. Therefore, each state of differently affects not only chemistry but also macroscopic dynamics space, thus, ortho-to-para abundance ratio (OPR) significant impacts on vario...

INTRODUCTION There has been a constant struggle to define the role of opioids in medical therapy, due to their potential for misuse, overuse, and addiction since pain is a completely subjective sensation, not amenable to objective measurement, and is intimately tied to emotion and the patient’s psychological well-being. Thus the medical decision to administer an opioid analgesic is an attempt t...

Diamine bis(phenolate) ligand precursors 6,6'-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylazanediyl) bis(methylene)bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol) (H2L, 1) and (S)-6,6'-((1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl) methylazanediyl) bis(methylene)-bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol) (H2L, 2) were used to prepare titanium and vanadium complexes. The compounds, with formulas [VOL(OPr)] (3), [TiLCl(THF)] (4), [TiLCl]2(μ-O) (5), [TiL(OPr)2] (6) and ...

In order to explore the impact of endometrial thickness on hCG administration day on ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) in IVF-ET cycles, we retrospectively analyzed data from 10,406 patients undergoing their first IVF cycles with standard gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) long protocol. Firstly, patients were divided into poor (≤ 5 oocytes), medium (6-14 oocytes), and high (≥ 15 oocyt...

Leucine-enkephalin and methionine-enkephalin are two pentapeptides with morphine like properties, naturally present in mammalian brain. They were first characterized by Hughes et al. [ 1 ] as H-TyrGlyGlyPheLeu-OH and H-TyrGlyGlyPheMet-OH respectively and found to behave as potent, although short lived opiates in a variety of pharmacological tests in vivo [2]. They do interact with the so-called...

We find that crystallographically resolved Ti17O24(OPr(i))20 nanoparticles, functionalized by covalent attachment of 4-nitrophenyl-acetylacetonate or coumarin 343 adsorbates, exhibit hole injection into surface states when photoexcited with visible light (λ = 400-680 nm). Our findings are supported by photoelectrochemical measurements, EPR spectroscopy, and quantum dynamics simulations of inter...

A heterogeneous olefin epoxidation catalyst containing both V and Ti in the active site was prepared by sequential non-hydrolytic grafting. The silica was exposed first to VO(OPr)3 vapor followed by Ti(O Pr)4 vapor. Formation of propene is evidence for the creation of Ti-O-V linkages on the surface. Upon metathesis of the 2-propoxide ligands with BuOOH, the catalyst becomes active for the gas p...

In this review, we describe the outer membrane proteins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related strains from the Pseudomonas fluorescens rRNA homology group of the Pseudomonadaceae, with emphasis on the physiological function and biochemical characteristics of these proteins. The use of opr (for outer membrane protein) is proposed as the genetic designation for the P. aeruginosa outer membrane pr...

Two diphenylantimony(III) derivatives of dithiophosphorus ligands, i.e. Ph(2)SbS(2)PPh(2) and Ph(2)SbS(2)P(OPr-i)(2), which were previously found to exhibit antitumor properties, have been now investigated for potential mutagenic effects in healthy and Ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing mice. Two short-term tests, i.e. the micronucleus test and the cytogenetic analysis, were used as end-points for m...
