The coupling of the breathing and rotational modes of the skyrmionskyrmion system leads to a nucleon-nucleon spin-orbit interaction of short range, as well as to spin-orbit potentials for the transitionsNN → N(1440)N , NN → NN(1440) and NN → N(1440)N(1440). The longest range behaviour of these spin-orbit potentials is calculated in closed form. Preprint HU-TFT-96-57

The title compound, C(15)H(16)N(2), contains two aromatic rings linked through an imino group. The mol-ecule exhibits an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 61.96 (1)°.

In the title compound, C(11)H(15)N(3)O(3), one of the methyl groups attached to the benzamide unit is slightly twisted with a C-N-C-C torsion angle of 4.04 (13)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds together with a weak C-H⋯π inter-action.

In the title compound, C12H12N2O2, synthesized by ammonolysis of 3-phenyl-isoxazole-5-carbonyl chloride in di-chloro-methane, the dihedral angle between the isoxazole ring and the phenyl ring is 14.05 (7)°. In the crystal, centrosym-metrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating rings of graph-set motif R 2 (2)(10).

In the title compound, C(15)H(16)N(2)O(4)S, there is a dihedral angle of 63.30 (8)° between the nitro-benzyl and benzene rings, which are separated by a sulfonamide unit The crystal packing is stabilized by a C-H⋯O inter-action.

BACKGROUND To explain observed differences during SPF determination using either an in vivo or in vitro method, we hypothesized on the presence of ingredients having anti-inflammatory properties. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To research our hypothesis, we studied the 21 UV filters both available on the market and authorized by European regulations and subjected these filters to the phorbol-...

PURPOSE Non-viral vectors have been widely proposed as safer alternatives to viral vectors, and cationic polymers have gained increasing attention because they can form self-assembly with DNA. Chitosan is also considered to be a good candidate for gene delivery systems, since it is already known as a biocompatible, biodegradable, and low toxic material with high cationic potential. However, low...

Many aminoazobenzene derivatives have been tested for carcinogenic activity in the rat (1-7). N,N-dimethyl-p-aminoazobenzene and N-methyl-paminoazobenzene have been found to be equally carcinogenic (4, 7). They produced cholangiomas and hepatomas in all animals tested in approximately the same period of time. N,N-dimethyl-3'methyl-4-aminoazobenzene was more carcinogenic than the parent compound...

The aggregation phenomena in aqueous solutions of hydrophobically modified (HM) chitosan, containing 4 mol % of n-dodecyl side chains, were studied by viscometry and fluorescence spectroscopy with pyrene as a probe. The results are compared with those for unmodified chitosan. Surprisingly, fluorescence data reveal the appearance of intermolecular hydrophobic aggregates both in chitosan and in H...
