The California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act, also called Proposition 71 [5], was a ballot initiative proposed by California voters in 2004 to allocate three billion dollars of state funds for stem cell research over ten years. Endorsed by California scientists and patient-advocates, Prop 71 passed on 2 November 2004, amending the state constitution to make stem cell research a constitutiona...

We will now consider TCFT’s or string backgrounds, or in other words, CFT’s with ghosts and total central charge c = 0. Consider the Segal PROP P = {Pm,n | m,n ≥ 0}, algebras over which defined CFT’s. Take the corresponding DG PROP of singular chains C•(P). The coefficients will always be complex when we talk about TCFT’s. We will give three definitions of a TCFT, gradually closer to what the p...

In the title compound, C17H16O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 21.22 (1)° and the mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group makes dihedral angles of 10.60 (1) and 11.28 (1)°, respectively, with those of the hy-droxy-phenyl and eth-oxy-phenyl rings. The eth-oxy substituent forms a dihedral angle of 88.79 (2)° with the the prop-2-en-1-one group, which is found to be slightly twist...

Humans live and interact within the real world but our current online world neglects this. This paper explores research into Personal Roving Presence (PRoP) devices that provide a physical mobile proxy, controllable over the Internet to provide tele-embodiment. Leveraging off of its physical presence in the remote space, PRoPs provide important human verbal and non-verbal communication cues. Th...

BACKGROUND One of the causes of combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is represented by Prophet of Pit-1 (PROP-1) gene inactivating mutations. This disorder is generally characterized by GH, TSH, prolactin (PRL), and gonadotropin deficiency, but recent papers have described a concomitant alteration of the corticotrope function. OBJECTIVE To make a detailed investigation of the hypothal...

Syntenin has crucial roles in cell adhesion, cell migration and synaptic transmission. Its closely linked postsynaptic density-95, discs large 1, zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) domains typically interact with C-terminal ligands. We profile syntenin PDZ1-2 through proteomic peptide phage display (ProP-PD) using a library that displays C-terminal regions of the human proteome. The protein recognizes a ...

In the title solvate, C29H21ClN2O2·C3H6O, a prop-2-en-1-one bridge links two quinolinyl residues; the latter are almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 78.27 (6)°]. The dihedral angle between the quinonyl ring system and its pendant phenyl group is 59.78 (8)°. A small twist in the bridging prop-2-en-1-one group is noted [O=C-C=C torsion angle = -10.6 (3)°]. In the crystal, a three-dimensional a...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C18H13NOS, is build up from two fused six-membered rings, with the heterocyclic component linked to a benzyl-idene group and to a prop-2-yn-1-yl chain. The six-membered heterocycle adopts a distorted screw-boat conformation. The prop-2-yn-1-yl chain is almost perpendicular to the mean plane through benzo-thia-zine as indicated by the C-N-C-C torsion angle of...

Two new phenylallylflavanones, (2R,3R)-6-[1-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-yl]pinobanksin (1) and (2R,3R)-6-[1-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-yl]pinobanksin 3-acetate (2) were isolated from a methanolic extract of Mexican propolis. Their structures were elucidated with spectroscopic analysis. Both compounds (1, 2) exhibited preferential cytotoxic activity against PANC-1 huma...
