Amphiphilic lipids and hydrophobic proteins are vaporized at atmospheric pressure using nonresonant 70 femtosecond (fs) laser pulses followed by electrospray post-ionization prior to being transferred into a time-of-flight mass spectrometer for mass analysis. Measurements of molecules on metal and transparent dielectric surfaces indicate that vaporization occurs through a nonthermal mechanism. ...

The title salt, (C6H14N)2[Sn(C2O4)Cl4], was obtained as a by-product from the reaction between 2C6H14N(+)·C2O4 (2-)·1.5H2O and SnCl2·2H2O. The cyclo-hexyl-ammonium cation has a chair conformation. The complex anion consists of an oxalate anion chelating the SnCl4 moiety, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere of the Sn(IV) atom with the O atoms in equatorial cis positions. In ...

This study is performed to detect changes of gene expression in substantia nigra (SN) and striatum in manganese (Mn)-exposed mice brain. The cDNA array is a recently developed molecular biological method that can detect the differential expression of several hundreds of genes simultaneously and is therefore advantageous in the study of trace metal intoxication effect at the genetic level. Using...

We report on some recent work on deformation of spaces, notably deformation of spheres, describing two classes of examples. The first class of examples consists of noncommutative manifolds associated with the so called θ-deformations which were introduced in [17] out of a simple analysis in terms of cycles in the (b,B)-complex of cyclic homology. These examples have non-trivial global features ...

A lot of ternary In-Sb-Q (Q = S, Se) chalcogenido-metalates with amines or complex cations have been recently reported for their diverse structures, however, such a type of In-Sn-Q chalcogenido-metalate has been rarely announced. Herein, we report a series of 2-D In-Sn-Q compounds prepared using a metal-phenanthroline cationic template, [M(Phen)3](In2Sn2Q8)·(amine)·nH2O (M = Ni(II), Fe(II) or C...

We obtain several new results for the complex generalized associated Lamé potential V (x) = a(a+ 1)m sn(y,m) + b(b+ 1)m sn(y +K(m),m) +f(f + 1)m sn(y +K(m) + iK ′(m),m) + g(g + 1)m sn(y + iK ′(m),m) , where y ≡ x− K(m) 2 − iK (m) 2 , sn(y,m) is a Jacobi elliptic function with modulus parameter m, and there are four real parameters a, b, f, g. First, we derive two new duality relations which, wh...

For any closed complex manifold X, we calculate the Poincaré and Hodge polynomials of the delocalized equivariant cohomology H(X, Sn) with a grading specified by physicists. As a consequence, we recover a special case of a formula for the elliptic genera of symmetric products in DijkgraafMoore-Verlinde-Verlinde [8]. For a projective surface X, our results matches with the corresponding formulas...

The crystal structure of the title compound, (C6H14N)3[Sn(C2O4)2Cl2]Cl·H2O, contains three cyclo-hexyl-ammonium cations, one stannate(IV) dianion, one isolated chloride anion and one lattice water mol-ecule. The cyclo-hexyl-ammonium cations adopt chair conformations. In the complex anion, two bidentate oxalate ligands and two chloride anions in cis positions coordinate octa-hedrally to the cent...

The title compound, (C6H14N)2[Sn(C6H5)2Cl4], contains cyclo-hexyl-ammonium cations in general positions and a stannate(IV) anion that is located on a twofold rotation axis. The Sn(IV) atom in the complex anion is surrounded by four Cl(-) ligands and two trans-phenyl groups in a distorted octa-hedral configuration. The anions are connected with the cations through N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Every ca...
