Consider a generalized linear model with a canonical link function, containing both fixed and random effects. In this paper, we consider inference about the fixed effects based on a conditional likelihood function. It is shown that this conditional likelihood function is valid for any distribution of the random effects and, hence, the resulting inferences about the fixed effects are insensitive...

Abstract The goal of this research is to further investigate NKT cell activation using sulfatide analogues. cells have been shown play a significant role in mediating inflammatory immune responses and because this, there has strong interest pharmacologically regulating compartment fight cancer. recognize lipids that are loaded on CD1d molecules the surface cells, it structural modifications the...

In the title compound, C(34)H(31)N(5), the observed molecular geometry suggests that anomeric effects are present in terms of short C-N bond lengths and reduced pyramidality of the N atoms.

The proportions of axial anomers of various glucosylamines (2) and their conjugate acids were determined by 1H NMR. The change upon N-protonation is small and can be accounted for by steric effects, without any "reverse anomeric effect." To test whether N-protonation changes the steric bulk of an imidazolyl group, ring-inversion equilibria of cis-N-(4-alkylcyclohexyl)imidazoles (3c, 4c) and of ...

Statistical models that include random effects are commonly used to analyze longitudinal and correlated data, often with strong and parametric assumptions about the random effects distribution. There is marked disagreement in the literature as to whether such parametric assumptions are important or innocuous. In the context of generalized linear mixed models used to analyze clustered or longitu...

The origin of the anomeric effect has remained an open question. After Mo demonstrated that hyperconjugation is not responsible for the anomeric effect [Y. Mo, Nature Chem., 2010, 2, 666.], electrostatic interactions and Pauli repulsions have been at the center of this debate. In this work, the total energies of the most stable rotamers of the equatorial and axial anomers of fluoro, hydroxyl, c...

Ab initio HF/6-31G* Methode was employed to calculate  the bond length in 2- phosphinanes  when electronegative groups was at C-2 tend axial and equatorial positions. The magnitude of  the anomeric effect depends on the nature of the substituent, the effect of the substituent can be seen by comparing the bond length in 2-chloro and 2-boromo substituented phosphinanes. The effect of anomeric eff...

The determination of the energetics of the temperature-dependent two-state N $ S pseudorotational equilibrium through 3JHH analysis in 36 nucleos(t)ides and 3 abasic sugars has allowed us for the first time to quantify the strength of various nucleobase-dependent anomeric and gauche effects, and how their interplay finally steers the sugar conformation. The plots of the pDdependent thermodynami...
