By a Morse function on compact manifold with boundary we mean real-valued without critical points near the such that its as well of restriction to are all nondegenerate. For functions, Saeki and Yamamoto have previously defined certain notion cusp cobordism, computed unoriented cobordism group functions surfaces. In this paper, compute oriented groups manifolds any dimension by employing Levine...

A general probe designed to induce a cascading sequence of reactions on a target protein was efficiently synthesized. The cascading reaction sequence involved (i) ligand-directed azaelectrocyclization with lysine and (ii) the autooxidation-induced release of a fluorescence quencher from the labeled protein. The probe was linked to a cyclic RGDyK peptide to enable the selective visualization of ...

Rigid rod oligo(phenylene-ethynylene-butadiynylene)s (oPEBs), "half-rings" of two rigid rods connected via a molecular clamp unit, and shape-persistent macrocycles (cyclic "half-ring dimers") are synthesized and their self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the interface of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB)/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG)...

The comparative effects of sleep patterns and rates of cyclic alternating patterns (CAP rate) in a high quality innerspring mattress were compared to those on a unique foam support mattress in 10 normal subjects. Results showed no differences in sleep stages, number of wakes, or total sleep time between the two conditions. CAP rates were significantly reduced on the foam surface. CAP rate was s...

Ethylene glycol (EG) oxidation has been studied on Pt(111) and its vicinal surfaces in acidic media by cyclic voltammetry and infrared spectroscopy. Even at Pt(111) the C-C bond is readily broken and CO is formed at low potentials. Both types of steps catalyze the EG oxidation to CO2, being the {110} steps the most catalytic for the splitting of the C-C bond. Spectroscopic results show that gly...

The synthesis of five light absorbing triazolobithiophenic thiols, which were utilized for producing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces, is presented. The monolayer formation was monitored by cyclic voltammetry, indicating excellent surface coverage. The new triazolobithiophenic compounds exhibited an absorption maximum around 340 nm, which is close to the emission wavelength of ...

in this study, a researching program is conducted by cyclic triaxial test to determine the post-cyclic behavior of bushehr carbonate sand retrieved from the north of the persian gulf, under anisotropic consolidation at 200 kpa confining pressure. the article compares the post-cyclic monotonic strength and excess pore water pressures generated after the test with the pre-cyclic monotonic results...

Abstract This article aims to investigate the contact characteristics of mortise and tenon (M&T) joints in traditional timber structures. In particular, normal embedded compressive between surfaces M&T joint was investigated. Based on basic theory tenon, a elasto-plastic model, which can reflect real behavior wooden structures, proposed. Coulomb friction utilized describe tangential sli...

abstract: this paper presents the results of pullout tests on uniaxial geogrid embedded in silica sand under monotonic and cyclic pullout forces. the new testing device as a recently developed automated pullout test device for soil-geogrid strength and deformation behavior investigation is capable of applying load/displacement controlled monotonic/cyclic forces at different rates/frequencies an...
