Nowadays available by clean industrial processes, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) possesses properties of nontoxicity and biodegradability which make it a true green reagent/solvent to devise syntheses that prevent pollution at the source. In particular, the versatile reactivity of DMC allows both methylation and carboxymethylation protocols that can replace conventional and highly noxious reagents su...

Many studies discuss factors related to the decision-making capacity to consent to clinical research (DMC) of patients with schizophrenia. However, these studies rarely approached willingness to participate and the association between psychopharmacological properties (e.g., antipsychotic-induced side effects) and DMC. This study aimed to explore factors related to DMC and willingness to partici...

Global efforts are underway to biofortify cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) with provitamin A carotenoids to help combat dietary vitamin A deficiency afflicting the health of more than 500 million resource-poor people in Sub-Saharan Africa. To further the biofortification initiative in Uganda, a 6×6 diallel analysis was conducted to estimate combining ability of six provitamin A clones and gen...

Syzygium campanulatum Korth is an equatorial, evergreen, aboriginal shrub of Malaysia. Conventionally it has been used as a stomachic. However, in the currently conducted study dimethyl cardamonin or 2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3',5'-dimethylchalcone (DMC) was isolated from S. campanulatum Korth, leaf extract. The structural characterization of DMC was carried out by making use of various techni...

We report a theoretical study of self-interstitial defects in silicon using local density approximation (LDA), PW91 generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) methods. The formation energies of the stablest interstitial defects are about 3.3 eV within the LDA, 3.8 eV within the PW91-GGA, and 4.9 eV within DMC. The DMC results indicate a value fo...

Consider any discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with arbitrarily but finite input and output alphabets X , Y respectively. Then, for any capacity achieving input distribution all symbols occur less frequently than 1 − 1 e . That is, max x∈X P (x) < 1− 1 e where P ∗(x) is a capacity achieving input distribution. Also, we provide sufficient conditions for which a discrete distribution can be a cap...

Background: Dyggve Melchior Clausen syndrome (DMC) is a severe autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia associated with mental retardation. Direct sequencing of genomic DNA has identified causative mutations in the gene Dymeclin (chromosome 18q12–21), with the majority predicting the generation of a truncated protein product. Objective: To carry out molecular genetic studies in three DMC kindreds...

Dynamic Miss-Counting (DMC) algorithms are proposed, which nd all implication and similarity rules with conndence pruning but without support pruning. To handle data sets with a large number of columns, we propose dynamic pruning techniques that can be applied during data scanning. DMC counts the numbers of rows in which each pair of columns disagree instead of counting the number of hits. DMC ...
