An approach for introducing twists in pyrene-fused azaacenes is reported. Depending on the volume and the rigidity of the silyl groups, different-sized twist angles, which oscillate between 4° and 24°, are induced along the longitudinal conjugated backbone.

Bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene-fused (BCOD-fused) bis(benzoborondipyrromethene)s (bisbenzoBODIPYs) bearing electron-withdrawing groups such as fluorine and cyano groups were prepared either by incorporating tetrafluoroisoindole moieties into BODIPY chromophores or by introducing cyano or ethoxycarbonyl groups at the 3,5-positions. The BCOD-fused bisbenzoBODIPYs were quantitatively converted to the cor...

results of the bromination and dehydrobromination of several angular methylated decalindiones are described. the key reaction, base-induced cyclization of the monobromo keto ester (3), and the dibromo ketone (4), leads to the formation of tricyclic systems (6) and (9) respectively.

Fused Deposition modelling (FDM) technology is based on decomposition of 3-D computer models into thin cross sectional layers, followed by physically forming the layer and stacking them up layer by layer. FDM provide freedom to add material in the desired area and we are also able to create hollow region in certain portion of layer. In this way low weight with good strength single ply raw mater...

A dual structural fused system consists of replaceable ductile elements (fuses) that sustain major seismic damage and leave the primary structure (PS) virtually undamaged. The seismic performance of a fused structural system is determined by the combined behavior of the individual PS and fuse components. In order to design a feasible and economic structural fuse concept, we need a procedure to ...

Oxidation of 2-amino-substituted BODIPYs afforded BODIPY trimers in a one-step operation. The trimer consists of a pyrazine-fused BODIPY dimer to which one BODIPY unit is connected through an NH linkage. Effective expansion of π-conjugation over the fused dimer was observed in optical and electrochemical measurements.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Merging multimodal images is a useful tool for accurate and efficient diagnosis and analysis in medical applications. The acquired data are a high-quality fused image that contains more information than an individual image. In this paper, we focus on the fusion of MRI gray scale images and PET color images. METHODS For the fusion of MRI gray scale images and PET color image...

The production of custom and specific tube end shapes by cold end forming using a die is generally limited to seamless tubular parts. Current research work in the field follows the same trend as that of industry and, therefore, there is no accumulated experience, no practical design rules, and no information available in the specialized literature concerning the utilization of tube end forming ...
