The title compound, C11H7NS2, was prepared in high yield (87%) using a solvent-free microwave-assisted synthesis. The structure shows whole-mol-ecule disorder with occupancies for two orientations (A and B) of 0.4884 (10) and 0.5116 (10), respectively. The thio-phene and benzo-thia-zole rings are almost planar and make dihedral angles of 10.02 (18) and 12.54 (19)° for orientations A and B, resp...

Coincident spikes have been implicated in vision-related processes such as feature binding, gain modulation, and long-distance communication. The source of these spike-time correlations is unknown. Although several studies have proposed that cortical spikes are correlated based on stimulus structure, others have suggested that spike-time correlations reflect ongoing cortical activity present ev...

One of the key behavioral effects of attractiveness is increased visual attention to attractive people. This effect is often explained in terms of evolutionary adaptations, such as attractiveness being an indicator of good health. Other factors could influence this effect. In the present study, we explored the modulating role of sexual orientation on the effects of attractiveness on exploratory...

Wurtzite AlN is widely used for deep ultraviolet optoelectronic devices (DUV), which are generally grown along the [0001]-direction of the wurtzite structure on currently available substrates. However, huge internal electrostatic fields are presented within the material along [0001] axis induced by piezoelectric and spontaneous polarization, which has limited the internal quantum efficiency of ...

Abstract This work is concerned with synthetic microstructure models of polycrystalline materials. Once a representation the generated, individual grains need to be furnished suitable crystal orientations, matching specific orientation distribution. We introduce novel method for this task, which permits prescribe orientations based on tensorial Fourier coefficients. compact gives rise texture c...

1. The early visual experience of nine cats was restricted to viewing horizontal or vertical lines inside opaque goggles. 2. When the kittens were 3-4 mo old, extracellular recordings were made in the primary visual cortex. To obtain a representative sample of cortical cells, units were studied at regularly spaced intervals along the course of electrode penetrations traveling oblique to the cor...

In the title compound, C(7)H(7)N(2) (+)·I(-), the cation is located on a site of 4mm symmetry and is thus disordered about the fourfold axis so that there are two perpendicular orientations of the six-membered ring and four rotational orientations of the {-NH(3) (+)} group. In the crystal, there are two layers perpendicular to the c axis, each containing iodide ions and the {-NH(3) (+)} portion...

We have studied by Monte Carlo simulations the thermal behaviour of a small (N = 13 particles) cluster described by a Heisenberg model, including nearestneighbour ferromagnetic interactions and radial surface anisotropy, in an applied magnetic field. We have studied three different lattice structures: hexagonal close packed, face centered cubic and icosahedral. We show that the zero-field therm...

9,90-(2,5-Dibromo-1,4-phenylene)bis[9H-carbazole] (1) crystallizes as a category I order–disorder (OD) structure composed of non-polar layers of one kind with B2/m(1)1 layer symmetry. The crystals are made up of the two polytypes with a maximum degree of order (MDO). The monoclinic MDO1 polytype (B21/d) possesses an orthorhombic B-centered lattice and appears in two orientations, which are rela...

We study the dynamics of electric field driven multiaxis electro-orientation of birefringent microsheets in both the isotropic and nematic phases of a liquid crystal. For a fixed direction of applied field in the isotropic phase, there are two critical fields above which the microsheets show two orientations. In the nematic phase, it shows three rotations in both planar and homeotropic cells. T...
