The iodine L3-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) of organic and inorganic iodine compounds with formal iodine oxidation states ranging from -1 to +7 shows edge energies spanning from 4560.8 eV to 4572.5 eV. These were used to calibrate the oxidation state of iodine in a unique iron complex of iodosylbenzene (PhIO), [Fe(tpena)OIPh]2+ (tpena- = N,N,N'-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylened...

We study singularity formation in nonlinear differential equations of order m 6 2, y(m) = A(x−1, y). We assume A is analytic at (0, 0) and ∂yA(0, 0) = λ 6= 0 (say, λ = (−1)m). If m = 1 we assume A(0, ·) is meromorphic and nonlinear. If m = 2, we assume A(0, ·) is analytic except for isolated singularities, and also that ∫ ∞ s0 |Φ(s)|−1/2d|s| < ∞ along some path avoiding the zeros and singularit...

acriflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) is an anticeptic drug developed in 1912. previous research has focused on investigation of the intercalating features of acriflavine, but little is known about its interaction with proteins. drug-receptor interaction is of major interest in clinical science. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of acriflavine to induce alterations in conform...

We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the parity-violating two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials at leading one-loop order. At a distance of r = m−1 π ≃ 1.4 fm they amount to about ±16% of the parity-violating 1π-exchange potential. We evaluate also the parity-violating effects arising from 2π-exchange with excitation of virtual ∆(1232)-isobars. These come out to be relatively small...

  Introduction : The innate immune system as the first line of defense against the pathogens recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs). Interaction of bacterial PAMPs by TLRs results in activation of innate and acquired immunity. FimH adhesin, a minor component of type 1 fimbriae encoded by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a PAMP of TLR4 tha...
