theoretically predictionq of the solvent effects of i - pentadecanoyl - 2 -docosahexaennyl - sn - glycerol3 - phosphocholin have been studied using 'jamey-lock quantiun chemical approximation and std - 30basis set within the onsager self-consistent reaction field (scrs') model all optimized conformers of i -pentadecanoyl - 2 -docosahexaenoyi - sn - glycerol 3 - phosphocholin as well as their to...

Building on the work of P.N. Norton, we give combinatorial formulae for two maximal decompositions of the identity into orthogonal idempotents in the 0-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group, CH0(SN ). This construction is compatible with the branching from H0(SN−1) to H0(SN ). Résumé. En s’appuyant sur le travail de P.N. Norton, nous donnons des formules combinatoires pour deux décompositions ma...

Let Sn be the set of all permutations on [n] := {1, 2, . . . , n}. We denote by κn the smallest cardinality of a subset A of Sn+1 that “covers” Sn, in the sense that each π ∈ Sn may be found as an order-isomorphic subsequence of some π′ in A. What are general upper bounds on κn? If we randomly select νn elements of Sn+1, when does the probability that they cover Sn transition from 0 to 1? Can w...

A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether silver nitrate (SN) is an effective means of pleurodesis. A total of 42 papers were identified using the reported search, of which 8 represented the best evidence to address the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relev...

Highly fluorescent and thermo-stable peptide nanoribbons (PNRs) were fabricated by solvothermal self-assembly of a single peptide (D,D-diphenyl alanine peptides) with Sn-porphyrin (trans-dihydroxo[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-tolyl)porphyrinato] Sn(IV) (SnTTP(OH)2)). The structural characterization of the as-prepared nanoribbons was performed by transmitting electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electro...

Secretoneurin (SN) is a functional secretogranin II (SgII)-derived peptide that stimulates luteinizing hormone (LH) production and its release in the goldfish. However, the effects of SN on the pituitary of mammalian species and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To study SN in mammals, we adopted the mouse LβT2 gonadotropin cell line that has characteristics consistent with no...

We assessed the ability of endothelial lipase (EL) to hydrolyze the sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acids (FAs) from HDL phosphatidylcholine. For this purpose, reconstituted discoidal HDLs (rHDLs) that contained free cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, and either 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine, 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoylphosphatidylcholine, or 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonylphosphatidylcholine were incubated ...

Planar slabs of pure Sn and Li were irradiated with 1064 nm, 9 ns Nd:YAG laser pulses. The resulting plasmas were evaluated with an absolutely calibrated extreme ultraviolet (EUV) power tool, a transmission grating spectrograph, a pinhole camera, and a Faraday cup. These diagnostic tools have allowed us to determine EUV conversion efficiency (CE), EUV spectral emission features, EUV-emitting pl...

The Sn(IV) atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(7)H(6)Cl)(3)(C(10)H(9)O(2))], exists in a tetra-hedral geometry [Σ C-Sn-C = 341.5 (4)°]. If the doubly bonded carbonyl O atom is taken into account for the coordination sphere of Sn [Sn⋯O = 2.808 (2) Å], the coordination geometry can be described as a cis-penta-gonal bipyramid.

Let ∆(Πn) denote the order complex of the partition lattice. The natural Sn-action on the set [n] induces an Sn-action on ∆(Πn). We show that the regular CW complex ∆(Πn)/Sn is collapsible. Even more, we show that ∆(Πn)/Sn is collapsible, where Π∆ is a suitable type selection of the partition lattice. This allows us to generalize and reprove in a conceptual way several previous results regardin...
