Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of sophisticated crystalline solids with well-defined coordination geometry and porosity. Rich selections of building blocks, long-range ordering in packing, and superior surface areas have promoted MOFs’ applications in gas adsorption, storage, and separation. While most studies utilized inner pores by regulating their interactions with small molecul...

In the past decades, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to the high energy densities, have become a dominant power source in portable electronics and have found applications in transportation, such as in hybrid electrical vehicles (HEVs) and electrical vehicles (EVs). Particularly, they have become indispensable energy storage devices for intermittent energy conversions, like in solar cells and ...

Since 1977, the International Online Information Meeting (IOLIM) in London has been the most important conference for users and producers of electronic information. The organiser of the conference is Learned Information Europe Ltd, a UK-based commercial organisation. In order to measure the impact of these conferences on the library and information science literature in general, a concept of co...

The ever growing volume of backplane communications pushes the data rate toward 20Gb/s for the next-generation transceivers. Over the years, chip designers have been seeking different data formats to overcome the loss of electrical channels. Among the existing solutions, duobinary signaling manifests itself in bandwidth efficiency as (1) its spectrum occupies only half as wide as that of NRZ da...

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has previously been shown to produce a positive conditioned place preference (CPP) among rats. Here the effects of doses of a specific 5-HT3 antagonist, MDL72222, on MDMA's ability to produce a CPP were assessed. A dose of MDL72222 (0.03 mg/kg) blocked the establishment of a MDMA CPP. These results support the suggestions that compounds affecting the 5-HT3 r...

We have recently reported that 2',3'dideoxy analogues of our exquisitely potent anti-VZV furanopyrimidine deoxynucleosides are shifted to selective anti-HCMV agents. We now find that the fully deoxygenated 2',3',5'-trideoxy analogue is fully antivirally active. This is taken as proof that these agents act by a novel non-nucleoside mechanism of action.

The biological versatility of aristeromycin (carbocyclic adenosine) is limited by accompanying cytotoxicity caused ostensibly by the intracellular formation of its 5'-nucleotide derivatives. Aristeromycin derivatives that offered steric interference to this transformation at the C-5' center were sought. This paper describes the facile stereospecific synthesis, where necessary, of such C-5'-meth...

The plasma enzymes, lactic dehydrogenase, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, and malic dehydrogenase, increased pro gressively in tumor-bearing rats. The amount of increase varied markedly with the type of tumor and the site of implantation. A lactic dehydrogenase agent could not be demonstrated in any of these animals. Isozyme patterns indicated the tumor was a significant contributor to the in...
