Magnesium amidoborane monoammoniate (Mg(NH(2)BH(3))(2) x NH(3)) which crystallizes in a monoclinic structure (space group P2(1)/a) has been synthesized by reacting MgNH with NH(3)BH(3). Dihydrogen bonds are established between coordinated NH(3) and BH(3) of [NH(2)BH(3)](-) in the structure, promoting stoichiometric conversion of NH(3) to H(2).

Anthocyanins are purple pigments that can be produced in virtually all parts of the maize plant. The spatial distribution of anthocyanin synthesis is dictated by the organ-specific expression of a few regulatory genes that control the transcription of the structural genes. The regulatory genes are grouped into families based on functional identity and DNA sequence similarity. The C1/Pl gene fam...

We perform hydrodynamical simulations of major galaxy mergers using new methods for calculating the growth of massive black holes (BH) in galactic nuclei and their impact on the surrounding galaxy. We model BH growth by including a subgrid model for accretion produced by angular momentum transport on unresolved scales. The impact of the BHs radiation on surrounding gas is approximated by deposi...

Reduced NO levels due to the deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) contribute to impaired vasodilation in pulmonary hypertension. Due to the chemically unstable nature of BH(4), it was hypothesised that oxidatively stable analogues of BH(4) would be able to support NO synthesis to improve endothelial dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension. Two analogues of BH(4), namely 6-hydroxymethyl pteri...

For h = 3 and h = 4 we prove the existence of infinite Bh sequences B with counting function B(x) = x √ (h−1)2+1−(h−1)+o(1). This result extends a construction of I. Ruzsa for B2 sequences.

A new statistical method for pinpointing the massive black hole (BH) in the Galactic Center on the IR grid is presented and applied to astrometric IR observations of stars close to the BH. This is of interest for measuring the IR emission from the BH, in order to constrain accretion models; for solving the orbits of stars near the BH, in order to measure the BH mass and to search for general re...

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) is an essential cofactor required for enzymatic activity of endothelial NO synthase. Recently, it has been shown that vascular protective effects of erythropoietin (EPO) are dependent on activation of endothelial NO synthase. Therefore, our objective was to characterize the effect of EPO on the biosynthesis of BH(4) in the vascular wall. Incubation of isolated C57BL/...

Ammonium borohydride, NH(4)BH(4), has a high hydrogen content of ρ(m) = 24.5 wt% H(2) and releases 18 wt% H(2) below T = 160 °C. However, the half-life of bulk NH(4)BH(4) at ambient temperatures and pressures, ~6 h, is insufficient for practical applications. The decomposition of NH(4)BH(4) (ABH(2)) was studied at variable hydrogen and argon back pressures to investigate possible pressure media...
