Passing underground trains induce vibrations transmitted to the ground surface and the nearby structures. Ordinarily, these vibrations do not result in structural damage but can harm nonstructural elements and disturb the occupants. These effects are more pronounced when evaluating buildings like hospitals, laboratories, museums, etc., and their assessment is an important design need. To respon...

ft-raman spectra of saffron (crocus sativus l.) with a partial assignment is reported. based on the raman data, it is concluded that main pigments in saffron are crocins and crocetin. it is proposed that the quickly attainable ft-raman spectrum of solid saffron, may be used as a means of saffron standardization.

For two graphs $mathrm{G}$ and $mathrm{H}$ with $n$ and $m$ vertices, the corona $mathrm{G}circmathrm{H}$ of $mathrm{G}$ and $mathrm{H}$ is the graph obtained by taking one copy of $mathrm{G}$ and $n$ copies of $mathrm{H}$ and then joining the $i^{th}$ vertex of $mathrm{G}$ to every vertex in the $i^{th}$ copy of $mathrm{H}$. The neighborhood corona $mathrm{G}starmathrm{H}$ of $mathrm{G}$ and $...

The high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of three ompounds containing three nonequivalent spin 1/2 nuclei (H ) have been observed at several magnetic field strengths. The compounds studied were styrene, 2,4-dichloroaniline and 2,5-dichloroaniline. The spectra, which depart considerably from first order behavior, have been analyzed and it was found that the sam.e set of parameters ...

Alcoholato Complexes, Cobalt(II) Chlorides Alcoholato complexes of cobalt(II) chloride with the general formula, C0CI2 • x R O H (where R = Me, Et, Pr», Bu», Bu«, Bu* and Bu') have been synthesised by the reactions of anhydrous C0CI2 with an excess of the appropriate alcohols under reflux. Physicochemical studies such as electronic, infra-red spectra, magnetic and conductivity measurements have...

Genomes of higher eukaryotes are mosaics of segments with various structural, functional, and evolutionary properties. The availability of whole-genome sequences allows the investigation of their structure as "texts" using different statistical and computational methods. One such method, referred to as Compositional Spectra (CS) analysis, is based on scoring the occurrences of fixed-length olig...

The rational protein design algorithm DEZYMER was used to introduce the active site of nonheme iron superoxide dismutase (SOD) into the hydrophobic interior of the host protein, Escherichia coli thioredoxin (Trx), a protein that does not naturally contain a transition metal-binding site. Reconstitution of the designed protein, Trx-SOD, showed the incorporation of one high-affinity metal-binding...

We present photo-fragmentation electronic spectra of the simplest protonated aromatic molecules, protonated benzene and toluene, recorded under medium resolution conditions and compared with the photo-fragmentation spectrum of protonated pyridine. Despite the resolution and cold temperature achieved in the experiment, the electronic spectra of protonated benzene and toluene are structure-less, ...

Recently synthesized by the group of Sadler, the platinum(IV) diazido complexes [Pt(N(3))(2)(OH)(2)(L')(L'')] (L' and L'' are N-donor ligands) have potential to be used as photoactivatable metallodrugs in cancer chemotherapy. In the present study optimized structures and UV-Vis electronic spectra of trans,trans,trans- and cis,trans,cis-[Pt(N(3))(2)(OH)(2)(NH(3))(2)] (1t and 1c, respectively) as...
