Most sparticle decay cascades envisaged at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) involve hadronic decays of intermediate particles. We use state-of-the art techniques based on the K⊥ jet algorithm to reconstruct the resulting hadronic final states for simulated LHC events in a number of benchmark supersymmetric scenarios. In particular, we show that a general method of selecting preferentially booste...

The sense of smell arises from the perception of odors from chemicals. However, the relationship between the impression of odor and the numerous physicochemical parameters has yet to be understood owing to its complexity. As such, there is no established general method for predicting the impression of odor of a chemical only from its physicochemical properties. In this study, we designed a nove...

Mass spectrometry is becoming an important tool in biological sciences. Tissue samples or easily obtained biological fluids (serum, plasma, urine) are analysed by a variety of mass spectrometry methods, producing spectra characterized by very high dimensionality and a high level of noise. Here we address a feature exraction method for mass spectra which consists of two main steps : In the first...

This review summarizes the basic rules for the interpretation of atmospheric pressure ionization (API) mass spectra of small molecules written with the style primarily intended for beginners and low-experienced researchers with the mass spectra interpretation. The first and basic step in any interpretation of mass spectra is always the determination of molecular weight, which is relatively easy...

calix(6)arene hydroxamic acids (iii) are synthesised for the first time by reactingcalix(6)arene acid chloride(ii) with substituted hydroxylamines at low temperature in the presence ofsodium bicarbonate. the p-carboxycalix(6)arene(i) is obtained by an acid catalysed condensationreaction of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and formaldehyde. these calixarenes are characterised by meltingpoint, uv, ir, 1h nm...

As a continuation of our efforts in developing new antimycobacterial agents, a series of new 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives were synthesized. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and Mass spectra. The analysis of theoretical toxicity risks,drug-likeness and drug-score for these series using Osiris program showed acceptable results.

Protein identification has been more helpful than before in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and HIV. Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for protein identification. In a typical experiment, proteins are broken into small amino acid oligomers called peptides. By determining the amino acid sequence of several peptides of a protein, its whole ami...

quinazolinones are interesting materials because of their valuable biological effects. in this study some new 2,3-disubstituted-4(3h)quinqzolinone derivatives were synthesized from anthranilic acid in six steps by introducing a new chiral center to the aliphatic side chain of the quinazolinone. in the last step, a single acylation on the hydrazine moiety afforded final compounds. the structures...
