The orientals are the free strict ω-categories on simplices introduced by Street. aim of this paper is to show that they also weak same generating data. More precisely, we exhibit complicial nerves as fibrant replacements in Verity's model structure for sets.

A new monoterpene, platydiol (1), and three new diterpenes, platyclolactonic acid (2), 14,15-bisnor-8(17)-labdene-16,19-dioic acid (3), and 6,7-dehydrosandaracopimaric acid (4), were isolated from the pericarp of Platycladus orientalis. Their structures were elucidated by spectral and chemical methods.
