Standard ab initio and density functional calculations are carried out to determine the structure, stability, and reactivity of B(12)N(12) clusters with hydrogen doping. To lend additional support, conceptual DFT-based reactivity descriptors and the associated electronic structure principles are also used. Related cage aromaticity of this B(12)N(12) and nH(2)@B(12)N(12) are analyzed through the...

We construct the general N = 1 2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to massive chiral matter, and show that it is renormalisable at one loop. There has recently been much interest in theories defined on non-anticommutative su-perspace [1]–[4]. Such theories are non-hermitian and turn out to have only half the super-symmetry of the corresponding ordinary supersymmetric theory–hence the term " N...

The neurotoxicity of lead has been well established through numerous studies. However, the cellular processes of lead neurotoxicity, as well as techniques to prevent or reverse cellular damage after lead exposure, remain unknown. If oxidative stress plays a primary role in lead-induced neurotoxicity, antioxidants should assist in reviving lead-exposed cells. The present study explores N-acetylc...

1 2 supersymmetric gauge theory is renormalisable at one loop, but only after gauge invariance is restored in a non-trivial fashion.

A molecular graph M is a simple graph in which atoms and chemical bonds are the vertices and edges of M, respectively. The molecular graph M is called a fullerene graph, if M is the molecular graph of a fullerene molecule. It is well-known that such molecules exist for even integers n ≥ 24 or n = 20. The aim of this paper is to investigate the topological properties of a class of fullerene mole...

In this paper we study the small Na+N (N 12) cationic clusters fragmentation channels, with all electronic calculations performed at the B3LYP/6–311G+(d,p) DFT level of theory. For these cluster sizes, we obtain for all neutral, cationic, bi-cationic and anionic species the optimized geometries, total energies and electronic properties such as the adiabatic ionization potentials, electron affin...

It was recently demonstrated that, when coupled to N = 1 supergravity, the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action constructed from a single chiral superfield has the property that when the higher-derivative terms become important, the potential becomes negative. Thus, DBI inflation cannot occur in its most interesting, relativistic regime. In this paper, it is shown how to overcome this problem by coup...

N-PEP-12 is a derivative of cerebrolysin, a brain-derived neuropeptide compound that has been approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in more than 30 countries. N-PEP-12 is much less potent than cerebrolysin but it can be administered orally whereas the parent compound must be administered through multiple intravenous infusions. This study was undertaken to determine whether N-PE...
