The in vitro activity of four 2-nitropropene derivatives, 1-(3-benzothienyl)-2-nitropropene (N1), 1-(3-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N2), 1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N3) and 1-(4-bromo-2-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N4), were tested against cultures of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Cytotoxicity studies were performed using Vero cells. The blood trypomastigotes, amastigotes and epimastigotes ...

Photochemically-induced ligand rearrangements for the N2 and N4 coordination isomers of the complex [Ru(bpy)(2)(Hpztr)](2+) and its deprotonated analogue [Ru(bpy)(2)(pztr)](+), where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridyl and Hpztr is pyrazine-1,2,4-triazole ligand, are reported. (1)H NMR spectroscopic and HPLC studies indicate that in acetone and acetonitrile the complexes are photostable when the triazole rin...

Using density functional theory, we investigate the structure of mixed (3)He(N3)-(4)He(N4) droplets with an embedded impurity (Xe atom or HCN molecule) which pins a quantized vortex line. We find that the dopant+vortex+(4)He(N4) complex, which in a previous work [F. Dalfovo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1028 (2000)] was found to be energetically stable below a critical size N(cr), is robust agai...

To obtain complete genome sequences of turkey rotavirus A strains Ty-1 and Ty-3, we sequenced the gene segments that had not been decoded previously. The genotype constellations of the respective strains were determined to be G17-P[38]-I4-R4-C4-M4-A16-N4-T4-E4-H4 and G7-P[35]-I4-R4-C4-M4-A16-N4-T4-E11-H14. Notably, their VP4 and NSP5 genes were classified into novel genotypes.

Let P+(n) denote the largest prime factor of the integer n and Φ12(n) = n4 − n2 + 1. We prove that for X large enough we have : P μ Y X X with c = 10−26531. Résumé. On note P+(n) le plus grand facteur premier de l’entier n et Φ12(n) = n4 − n2 + 1. Nous montrons pour X assez grand la minoration : P μ Y X X avec c = 10−26531. Sommaire

Nitrosylation of the chelate-thiolate-containing dinitrosyliron complex (DNIC) [(S(CH(2))(3)S)Fe(NO)(2)](-) triggers nitric oxide (NO) activation to generate the homoleptic nitrosyl {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) DNIC [Fe(NO)(4)](-) (1) made up of two nitroxyls (or two NO anions) attached to a delocalized {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) motif. The significantly longer N3-O3/N4-O4 [1.380(12) and 1.280(12) Å] and Fe1-N3/Fe1-N4 [...

Cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Brunex) were grown under controlled conditions in an experimental greenhouse and treated with four rates of N in the form of KNO3 (N1, 5 g/m ; N2, 10 g/m; N3, 20 g/m; and N4, 40 g/m). The intermediate N rates (N2 and N3) gave higher utilization of NO3 ÿ in the leaves (highest NR activities) than treatment N1 (inadequate) and N4 (excessive). This latter ra...

We studied the elimination of sulfisoxazole in eight renal transplant patients. The patients received sulfisoxazole prophylactically for urinary tract infection commencing 7 days postoperatively. The renal elimination of sulfisoxazole (unbound renal clearance) was decreased in this patient population and was highly correlated with creatinine clearance. The unbound metabolic clearance and appare...

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the fatigue life of an airplane wing with laminated composite skin, subjected to variable mechanical and thermal loads. To achieve this aim,at first, the three-dimensional model of airplane wing was drawn in CATIA software. Then, by transferring the model to the ABAQUS software, the finite element model of the wing wascreated. H...

N4-lattices are the algebraic semantics of paraconsistent Nelson logic, which was introduced in [1] as an inconsistency-tolerant counterpart of the better-known logic of Nelson [7, 13]. Paraconsistent Nelson logic combines interesting features of intuitionistic, classical and many-valued logics (e.g., Belnap-Dunn four-valued logic); recent work has shown that it can also be seen as one member o...
