Relativistic configuration interaction calculations have been performed for the 1s→np (n=4-8) photoabsorption transitions in Br I and Br II and transition energies and transition probabilities have been evaluated. These data are necessary to interpret the experiment photoabsorption spectra. The K edge energy of Br I and Br II have also been computed and compared to the existing values when avai...

quantitative determination of br?nsted acid sites in acidic mordenite samples with varying proton concentrations has been studied using aqueous conductometric titration method. conductometric titration of the ammonium form of mordenite with sodium hydroxide is feasible and the results indicate potential number of br?nsted acid sites. however, br?nsted acid sites concentration in acidic mordenit...

Six different bromide salts - tetraethylammonium bromide ([N2,2,2,2]Br, Br), 1-ethyl-1-methylpiperidinium bromide ([C2MPip]Br, Br), 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide ([C2MPyrr]Br, Br), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C2MIm]Br, Br), 1-ethylpyridinium bromide ([C2Py]Br, Br), and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridinium bromide ([C2OHPy]Br, Br) - were studied in regards to their capacity to form pol...

The title compound, C(14)H(12)Br(4), crystallizes with imposed inversion symmetry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack in layers parallel to (10). The layers involve two Br⋯Br and one H⋯Br contact. Between the layers, one contact each of types Br⋯Br, H⋯Br and Br⋯π is observed.

bacteriorhodopsin (br) is a retinal protein that is a light-driven proton pump and has an important role in photosynthesis in archaebacterium halobacterium salinarum. the br molecule absorbs light and photochemical changes occur in it, and different intermediates will be produced in its photochemical cycle that some of them like p and q intermediates have a long half-life. there have been many ...

Thin lipid (optically black) membranes were made from sheep red cell lipids dissolved in n-decane. The flux of Br across these membranes was measured by the use of tracer (82)Br. The unidirectional flux of Br (in 50-100 mM NaBr) was 1-3 x 10(-12) mole/cm(2)sec. This flux is more than 1000 times the flux predicted from the membrane electrical resistance (>10(8) ohm-cm(2)) and the transference nu...

Loss of Imprinting (LOI) of IGF2 and over-expressed IGF2 are associated with tumorigenesis. Our previous epidemiological study found a relatively high frequency of IGF2 LOI in healthy mid-gestation pregnant women. The aim of this study is to determine whether the expression of IGF2 is associated with its imprinting status in healthy Chinese pregnant women. The IGF2 imprinting status of 300 preg...

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that some polymorphisms in diff erent interleukin genes may increase the risk of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the IL-8 (rs4073) –251A/T gene polymorphism and the risk of gastric cancer (GC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on patients with noncardia gastric cancer. DNA was extracted from l...
