The genus Genista L. (Family: Fabaceae) is a plant having several traditional uses for treating common ailments such as diabetes, ulcer, and respiratory diseases. In this current study, the composition of essential oil biological activities sagittalis (Fabaceae) from Kocaeli: Yuvacık Dam Basin have been studied. A total fourteen components were identified in oil. compounds belonged to straight-...

Based on the local Shannon entropy concept in information theory, a new measure of aromaticity is introduced. This index, which describes the probability of electronic charge distribution between atoms in a given ring, is called Shannon aromaticity (SA). Using B3LYP method and different basis sets (6-31G**, 6-31+G** and 6-311++G**), the SA values of some five-membered heterocycles, C(4)H(4)X, a...

A new formulation of a pose refinement technique using “active” models is described. An error term derived from the detection of image derivatives close to an initial object hypothesis is linearised and solved by least squares. The method is particularly well suited to problems involving external geometrical constraints (such as the ground-plane constraint). We show that the method is able to r...

Four fundamental physical parameters of series of benzene derivatives were studied to ascertain correlations with biological activity. These included octanol/water coefficient, vapor pressure, infrared absorption (out-of-plane C-H vibration), and the pi values. Each physicochemical constant exhibited a partial correlation with biological activity suggesting that each played a role. It was presu...

Measurement of organic compounds in KarahaTelaga Bodas and Coso fluid inclusions shows there are strong relationships between H2 concentrations and alkane/alkene ratios and benzene concentrations. Inclusion analyses that indicate H2 concentrations > 0.001 mol % typically have ethane > ethylene, propane > propylene, and butane > butylene. There are three end member fluid compositions: type 1 flu...

Acid-catalysed, '3+3' condensation of m-bispyrryl benzene derivatives with acetone afforded new non-aromatic macrocycles that can be converted to meso-alkylidenyl dibenzohexaphyrins carrying four exocyclic double bonds at meso-positions by DDQ oxidation.

alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. the ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. a. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. the first system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-b1and alk-b2) and the second system is  cytochrome p450....

We have measured the alkane and benzene-based molecules with aldehyde and carboxylic acid as anchoring groups by using the electrochemical jump-to-contact scanning tunneling microscopy break junction (ECSTM-BJ) approach. The results show that molecule with benzene backbone has better peak shape and intensity than those with alkane backbone. Typically, high junction formation probability for sam...

Using MP2, CCSD, and B3LYP methods of computational chemistry, we show length dependence in the intrinsic elastic properties of short alkane fragments. For isolated alkane fragments of finite length in the gas phase and zero temperature, the intrinsic elasticity constants are found to vary with the number of carbon atoms and its parity. From extrapolation of the elasticity constants calculation...
