The progresses over the last few years of digital technologies, the rapid development of the Internet and of other colnmunication means, have caused an ever increasing need for protecting Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). The problem of the IPR protection for multimedia works exchanged through telematic networks have promoted industrial and research projects for the development of Electronic...

Complexes [Pd{(S)-NHCMes,R}2] (R = Me, 2a; iPr, 2b; iBu, 2c) and [Pd{(R)-NHCMes,Me}2] (2a’) were prepared by reaction of the corresponding imidazolium precursor [ImMes,R] (namely (S)–2-alkyl(3-mesityl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate, 1a-c, (R)-2-methyl(3-mesityl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate, 1a’), with Ag2O subsequent interaction Pd(OAc)2, under appropriate conditions. Alternatively, complexes...

Coordination Chemistry. In their Research Article (e202205371), Peter Coburger, Hansjörg Grützmacher et al. report (IPr)2C2P2 as a flexible ligand to iron carbonyl fragments, giving access complexes of the general formula [Fe(CO)x{(IPr)2C2P2}]n+. Redox events involve either metal ion or C2P2 ligand. Graphic design: Dr. Christoph Selg and Luise Coburger.

This paper proposes a simple model of the trade-offs perceived by innovating firms when investing in countries with limited intellectual property rights (IPR). The model allows for a continuous treatment of technology transfer and production cost gains occurring through FDI. While it does not consider possible changes in rates of innovation caused by changes in intellectual property rights in d...

A new synthetic strategy was devised leading to the formation of complexes, such as [Au(IPr)(CH2 COCH3)]. The approach capitalizes on the formation of a decomposition product observed in the course of the synthesis of [Au(IPr)(Cl)]. A library of gold acetonyl complexes containing the most common N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has been synthesized. These acetonyl complexes are good synthon...

The fungicide iprodione (IPR) (3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl) N-isopropyl-2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-1-carboxamide) is a highly toxic compound. Although IPR has been restricted, it still being applied in many places around the world, constituting an environmental risk. biodegradation of attractive option for reducing its residues. In this study, we isolated thirteen IPR-tolerant bacteria from biopurificati...

Purpose: Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis (HKOA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide and pain the most common symptom for seeking health care due to its interference on daily living activities, social occupational participation. Although, internationally, literature suggests that outcomes current interventions are suboptimal in control people with OA, great proportion OA lives Inadequate Pain ...

This paper presents a background of a project undertaken at Sohar University to implement a web based plagiarism detection system for academic activities. Digital content in academic environments are created by academics and students. This Digital content is research publications and assessment submissions – assignments. Academic Digital content once created needs to be verified for non-violati...

The impact of patents and patent royalties are a major concern of standards setting organisations. Here we examine the patents filed in the UMTS 3rd generation mobile phone standard, governed by the ETSI IPR policy in response to patent issues faced during the earlier GSM standardization. We contrast firm strategies and policy effectiveness between the GSM and UTMS efforts, and review the poten...
