BACKGROUND Similar as in vascular endothelium the negatively charged glycocalyx of erythrocytes selectively buffers sodium. Loss of glycocalyx (i.e. loss of negative charges) leads to increased erythrocyte sodium sensitivity (ESS) quantified by a recently developed salt-blood-test (SBT). The hypothesis was tested whether a regular 4-hour hemodialysis (4h-HD) alters ESS. METHODS In 38 patients...

Title of Thesis: CHARACTERIZATION OF 4H-SiC MOSFETs USING FIRST PRINCIPLES COULOMB SCATTERING MOBILITY MODELING AND DEVICE SIMULATION Siddharth Potbhare Master of Science, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Neil Goldsman Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Detailed analysis of a 4H-SiC MOSFET has been carried out by numerically solving the steady state semiconductor Drift-Diffusio...

Gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS) has been used for the separation, detection, and identification of 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones (hydroxamic acids and lactams) and benzoxazolinones found in maize (Zea mays L.) extracts. Compounds of interest were partitioned into ethyl acetate from aqueous maize seedling extracts. For analysis by GLC-MS, trimethylsilyl derivatives were prepared, ch...

Diethyl bromomalonate (2) with an equimolar amount of 2-aminophenol (1) in the presence of sodium fluoride undergoes a cyclization reaction to form 2H,4H-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine (3). Furthermore, compound 3 undergoes a condensation reaction with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of methanol to yield 2H,4H-2-hydrazinocarbonyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine (4), whic...

A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) procedure is reported for the quantitation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of substituted 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-ones (2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[HBOA]; 2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[HMBOA];2,4- dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[DIBOA]; 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[DIMBOA]; and 2,4-dihy...

A catalytic asymmetric oxidative iminium-allenamine cascade allows the use of propargyl alcohols as stable substrates and yields valuable chiral bicyclic 4H-chromenes. A subsequent Michael addition-condensation domino reaction provides complex tricyclic 4H-chromenes in a highly enantioselective fashion.

The effect on mycelial growth of the fungus Botrytis cinerea of a set of structurally related tricyclic hydroquinones [9,10-dihydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-2,3,5,8-tetrahydroantracen-1(4H)-one and 9,10-dihydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,8-dihydroanthracen-1(4H)-one derivatives] and tricyclic quinones [4,4-dimethylanthracen-1,9,10(4H)-trione derivatives] was studied. In general, the anthraquinones presented higher...

A gametocidal chromosome, chromosome 2C derived from Aegilops cylindrica, was introduced into six wheat-barley addition lines to establish chromosome-mutationinducing lines. These lines, except the one for chromosome 4H, had a pair of respective barley chromosomes and one 2C chromosome (22”+1’); the line for 4H was doubly monosomic for chromosome 4H and chromosome 2C (21”+2’). In these lines, c...
