abstract: two new transition metal complexes, containing the acidic ligand 5-chlorosalicylic acid (h2l5), and 1,10-phenanthroline（phen） and 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) as secondary ligands are reported. they are formulated as {[pb(hl5)2(phen)(h2o)]·h2o}n(1), [zn2(hl5)4(bpp)2]n(2). all the complexes are characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffractions. compoud 1 crystallizes in the triclini...

Transition states are the balance point of catalysis. Bonds are partially made and/or broken at the transition state, and the energy of the extended system provides near-equal probability that the system forms products or reverts to reactants. Enzymatic catalytic sites provide dynamic electronic environments that increase the probability that the transition state will be formed. Alignment of re...

The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) radiation at the frequency of 940 MHz on the structure and function of human adult and fetal hemoglobin (HbA and HbF) were studied. After extraction and purification of HbA and HbF, the oxygen absorption values for exposed and unexposed HbA and HbF to EMF were compared. The slope of oxygen absorption curve for exposed HbA was increased while that for...

We report the results of observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of the black-hole candidate GX 339-4 during the state transition of 1998. We find that both the X-ray spectrum and the characteristic of the time variability after the transition are typical of a high/soft state. We cannot exclude that the source went through an Intermediate State before entering the high state. We discu...

b a c k g r o u n d & aim: multi-state models can help better understand the process of chronic diseases such as cancers.  these models  are influenced  by assumptions  like individual  homogeneity.  this study aimed to investigate the effect of lack of individual homogeneity  assumption  in multi-state models. methods & materials: to investigate the effect of lack of individual homogeneity ass...

In this research, a semi empirical approach has been suggested for calculating the activation energyof unimolecular thermal decomposition of vinyl ethers yielding saturated products. The calculationprocedure is based on the use of molecular mechanics (MM) methods. These methods which involvethe construction of the transition state for a molecule mainly consider the formation of a “HydrogenBridg...

This paper presents an approach of motion planning for a humanoid robot using a state transition method. In this method, motion planning is simplified by introducing a state-space to describe the whole motion series. And each state in the state-space corresponds to a contact state specified during the motion. The continuous motion is represented by a sequence of discrete states. The concept of ...

State transition diagrams are a graphic notation that has long been used to represent computing systems. Two basic models of state transition diagrams were introduced simultaneously by G.H. Mealy and E.F. Moore in the mid fifties, and have played a major role in hardware design for a long time. These basic models have been expanded significantly in the recent past to include such features as th...
