The synthesis and photophysical characterization of two different series of electron donor-acceptor dyads containing Ru(II) and Os(II) bis-terpyridines (M(tpy)(2)(2+)) were prepared and studied in order to compare the oft-studied Ru(tpy)(2)(2+) chromophore with the less studied Os(tpy)(2)(2+) chromophore. The first series of dyads incorporates a benzoquinone (BQ) group as the electron acceptor,...

Conservative management has been the mainstay of treatment for simple extra-articular distal radius fractures. Several factors, such as quality of definitive casting, have been implicated in the risk of fracture re-displacement during follow-up. Objective assessments of the quality of casting using various indices have been documented in literature, although overall evidence remains scant, and ...

Studies on the rate-limiting factors of glycolysis in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells have indicated that orthophosphate is the major rate-limiting factor for glycolysis (l-5). Pi presumably influences the rate of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the only glycolytic enzyme known to require Pi. However, recent reports have indicated that Pi may have other important effects on glycolytic sys...

The wild-type strain (Cl-WT) of Clover yellow vein virus (ClYVV) systemically induces cell death in pea cv. Plant introduction (PI) 118501 but not in PI 226564. A single incompletely dominant gene, Cyn1, controls systemic cell death in PI 118501. Here, we show that activation of the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway enhances ClYVV virulence in susceptible pea cultivars. The kinetics of viru...

Fundamental mathematical constants like $e$ and $\pi$ are ubiquitous in diverse fields of science, from abstract mathematics to physics, biology chemistry. For centuries, new formulas relating fundamental have been scarce usually discovered sporadically. Here we propose a novel systematic approach that leverages algorithms for deriving help reveal their underlying structure. Our find dozens wel...
