A novel anionic water-soluble pillar[5]arene (4C-WP5A) was synthesized via a convenient synthetic strategy of the direct cyclization of a functionalized hydroquinone monomer. The alkyl chain dependent affinities of ferrocenyl aminiums (FCn(+), n: carbon number) with 4C-WP5A are driven by hydrophobic interactions and desolvations with assisted C-H···π interactions and electrostatic interactions.

As a partner for the DOE Metal Hydride Center of Excellence (MHCoE), GE Global Research in Niskayuna, NY developed a robust approach for metal hydride discovery as schematically shown in Figure 1. The approach is used on a daily basis at GE and it has streamlined the metal hydride discovery process. Our research allows us to investigate large numbers of compositions simultaneously, quickly scre...

In this paper we present SPADES, an interactive graphics based software package for SPA tial mechanism DES ign. The program provides a platform for the synthesis of a mechanism that guides a body through either three or four prescribed positions in space. The purpose of this work is to assemble the current spatial 4C synthesis theory into a software package that is useful for spatial mechanism ...

The effect of cancer cachexia on the oxidative metabolism of lipids has been studied in mice transplanted either with the MAC16 adenocarcinoma, which induces profound loss of host body weight and depletion of lipid stores, or the MAC13 adenocarcinoma, which is of the same histological type, but which grows without an effect on host body weight or lipid stores. While oxidation of D-[U-'4C]glucos...

We improve Chen-Ricci inequalities for a Lagrangian submanifold Mn of dimension n (n 2) in a 2n -dimensional complex space form M̃2n(4c) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4c with a semi-symmetric metric connection and a Legendrian submanifold Mn in a Sasakian space form M̃2n+1(c) of constant φ -sectional curvature c with a semi-symmetric metric connection, respectively.

Genetic algorithms (GA) are used to optimize the Fast Neutron Source (FNS) core fuel loading maximize a multiobjective function. The FNS has 150 material locations that can be loaded with one of three different materials resulting in over 3E+71 combinations. individual designs evaluated computationally intensive calls MCNP. To speed up optimization, convolutional neural networks (CNN) trained a...

We determined the genome sequence of industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain NAM34-4C, which would be useful for bioethanol production. The approximately 11.5-Mb draft genome sequence of NAM34-4C will provide remarkable insights into metabolic engineering for effective production of bioethanol from biomass.

Prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) has been extended and validated to measure large irregularly shaped samples. The detailed sample geometry was implemented in the MCNP-model of setup accurate matrix-effect corrections were obtained.

BACKGROUND Total body volume (TBV), with the exclusion of internal air voids, is necessary to quantify body composition in Lohman's 4-compartment (4C) model. OBJECTIVE This investigation sought to derive a novel, TBV measure with the use of only dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) attenuation values for use in Lohman's 4C body composition model. DESIGN Pixel-specific masses and volumes w...
