Tetra-kis(2-methyl-prop-yl)thio-per-oxy-dicarbonic di-amide, or tetra-iso-butyl-thiuram di-sulfide, C18H36N2S4, crystallizes in a general position in the triclinic space group P-1 but shows pseudo-C2 symmetry about the di-sulfide bond. The C-S-S-C torsion angle [-85.81 (2)°] and the dihedral angle between the two NCS2 mean planes [85.91 (5)°] are within the range observed for this compound type...

The title zwitterion, C17H13NO2 (systematic name: 1-{(1E)-[(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)iminium-yl]meth-yl}naphthalen-2-olate), features an intra-molecular charge-assisted N+-H⋯O- hydrogen bond. A twist in the mol-ecule is evident around the N-C(hy-droxy-benzene) bond [C-N-C-C torsion angle = 39.42 (8)°] and is reflected in the dihedral angle of 39.42 (8)° formed between the aromatic regions of the mol-...

The title hydrate, C(26)H(21)NO·H(2)O, exhibits significant twists of the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 87.24 (6)°] and chalcone residue [C-C-C-C torsion angle = -94.46 (17)°] out of the plane through the quinoline ring system. The conformation about the C=C bond [1.341 (2) Å] is E. The solvent water mol-ecule forms hydrogen bonds to carbonyl O and quinoline N atoms derived from two mol-ecules...

In the title compound, C(24)H(14)BrClOS, the S-bound 4-chloro-phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the plane of the naphthofuran fragment [dihedral angle = 83.34 (3)°] and the phenyl ring in the 2-position is rotated out of the naphthofuran plane by a dihedral angle of 15.23 (5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the furan and the central benzene rings...

In order to provided a novel maximised approach to the generation of accurate, comprehensive, consensus sequences of the expressed human genome, we have developed and produced a system for a novel-representation, broad gene coverage, consensus database of expressed human gene fragments (ESTs). To perform clustering of ESTs, we have developed and employed D2-cluster, an algorithm based on the d2...

The title compound, C40H41NO8, is a product of the reduction of the cyclic carbonyl group of the γ-piperidone subunit of the aza-14-crown-4 ether with subsequent re-esterification of its dimethyl butenoate substituent into a monoethyl monomethyl group. The aza-crown macrocycle exhibits a bowl conformation with a dihedral angle of 70.82 (5)° between the benzene rings fused to it. The piperidine ...

The title compound, C(16)H(13)IO(3)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 5-iodo-2,7-dimethyl-3-phenyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 76.31 (8)° with the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π-π inter-actions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules, and between th...

In this paper, the influence of the gas exchange process on the diesel engine thermal overload is provided. Main components involved in the gas exchange process are discussed. The ambient conditions, the turbocharger performance, and the valve timing that affect the gas exchange process have been investigated. Experiments were conducted to simulate ambient conditions at different geographical l...

Embedded speciications in object-oriented (OO) languages such as Eiiel and Sather are based on a rigorous approach towards validation, compatibility and reusability of sequential programs. The underlying method of \design-by-contract" is based on Hoare logic for which concurrency extensions exist. However concurrent OO languages are still in their infancy. They have inherently imperative facets...
