The bottom–up approach is considered a potential alternative for low cost manufacturing of nanostructured materials [1]. It is based on the concept of self–assembly of nanostructures on a substrate, and is emerging as an alternative paradigm for traditional top down fabrication used in the semiconductor industry. We demonstrate various strategies to control nanostructure assembly (both organic ...

[Friend] What kind of research do you do these days? [AL] I am initiating some work on program understanding. [F] What is that? [AL] Well.. you recover the design of a software system from its source code so you know how it does whatever it does. [F] You mean the design of a whole system? [AL] Yes. [AL] Interesting.. why would you want to do that? [M] So that you can understand the system when ...

Low-valent (MeBDI)Al and (MeBDI)Ga highly Lewis acidic cations in [(tBuBDI)M+⋅C6H6][(B(C6F5)4−] (M=Mg or Zn, MeBDI=HC[C(Me)N-DIPP]2, tBuBDI=HC[C(tBu)N-DIPP]2, DIPP=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) react to heterobimetallic [(tBuBDI)Mg–Al(MeBDI)+], [(tBuBDI)Mg–Ga(MeBDI)+] [(tBuBDI)Zn–Ga(MeBDI)+]. These feature long Mg–Al (or Ga) bonds while the Zn–Ga bond is short. The [(tBuBDI)Zn–Al(MeBDI)+] cation was n...

This condition is equivalent to stochastic mixability as well as the pseudoprobability convexity (PPC) condition, both defined by Van Erven et al. (2015). To be precise, for stochastic mixability, in Definition 4.1 of Van Erven et al. (2015), take their Fd and F both equal to our F , their P equal to {P}, and ψ(f) = f∗; then strong stochastic mixability holds. Likewise, for the PPC condition, i...

The structures of core-links Al(13) (C-Al(13)) and flat-Al(13) (F-Al(13)) complexes in aqueous solution have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) at the level of B3LYP/6-31G(d). The present work focuses on the following three aspects: (1) C-Al(13)(9+) was optimized with the consideration of solvent effect and the (27)Al NMR chemical shifts using Hartree Fock GIAO and B3LYP GI...

Protein farnesylation involves the covalent addition of a 15carbon isoprenoid lipid moiety to the cysteine residue of a Cterminal CAAX motif (reviewed by Sinensky, 2000; Crul et al., 2001). Farnesylated proteins include the Ras GTPase, prelamin A, lamin B, fungal pheromones and rhodopsin kinase. Although most farnesylated proteins are found associated with membranes, farnesylation may also medi...
