Novel quaternary logic circuits, designed in 2-u.m'CMOS technology, are presented. These include threshold detector circuits with an improved output voltage swing and a simple binary-to-quaternary encoder circuit. Based on these, the literal circuits, the quaternary-tobinary decoder, and the quaternary register designs are derived. A novel scheme for improving the power-delay product of pseudo-...

The Quaternary has been described as an important time for genetic diversification and speciation. This is based on the premise that Quaternary climatic conditions fostered the isolation of populations and, in some instances, allopatric speciation. However, the 'Quaternary Ice-Age speciation model' rests on two key assumptions: (i) that biotic responses to climate change during the Quaternary w...

An in situ IR technique was applied in the selective synthesis of the key intermediate for rapamycin derivatives, which made the reaction endpoint easily defined. This technology solved a bothersome problem in the preparation of rapamycin derivatives, and based on this technique, the 31-OH and 42-OH of rapamycin were chemically modified by a series of quaternary ammonium salts to generate 11 co...

In this paper, a new construction of quaternary bent functions from quaternary quadratic forms over Galois rings of characteristic 4 is proposed. Based on this construction, several new classes of quaternary bent functions are obtained, and as a consequence, several new classes of quadratic binary bent and semi-bent functions in polynomial forms are derived. This work generalizes the recent wor...

The periodicity of the genus sequences of the heaps of finite quaternary games are examined. While the truncated genus sequence of the heaps of finite quaternary games becomes periodic, this is not true for the genus sequence in general. This contrasts with the known result that the genus sequence of the heaps of all finite subtraction games, a subset of finite quaternary games, becomes periodic.

We report synthesis of surface-active quaternary amino polyfluorosiloxanes. Hydrosilation of silanic hydrogen containing polyfluorosiloxanes with olefinic epoxides, in the presence of a platinum–divinyltetramethyldisiloxane complex gave epoxy polyfluorosiloxanes. These, on further reaction with various amines followed by quaternization, gave quaternary amino polyfluorosiloxanes. The quaternary ...

In this paper, we propose two new construction methods for quaternary Hadamard matrices. By the first method, which is applicable for any positive integer n, we are able to construct a quaternary Hadamard matrix of order 2 from a binary sequence with ideal autocorrelation. The second method also gives us a quaternary Hadamard matrix of order 2 from a binary extended sequence of period 2 − 1, wh...

New amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymers have been designed and self-assembled into water-dispersible and biodegradable polymer micelles, which exhibit good antibacterial activities without quaternary ammonium moieties or the loading of any external antibiotics due to the increased local concentration of cationic charge in the polymer micelles compared to the un-self-assembled individual polymer...

The antibacterial effect of 11 new commercially manufactured disinfectants on clinical isolates of Salmonella typhimurium DT104, Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. The substances tested represented six pure quaternary ammonium substances (QAS) and five QAS combined with other ingredients. The antibacterial efficacy was characterized by influencing the growth of bacteria...

We show that a quaternary Jordan derivation on a quaternary Banach algebra associated with the equation f( x+ y + z 4 ) + f( 3x− y − 4z 4 ) + f( 4x+ 3z 4 ) = 2f(x) . is satisfied in generalized Hyers–Ulam stability.
