Oor N-arylated aminophenol products constitute a common structural motif in various potentially useful therapeutic agents and/or drug candidates. We have developed a complementary set of Cuand Pd-based catalyst systems for the selective Oand N-arylation of unprotected aminophenols using aryl halides. Selective O-arylation of 3and 4-aminophenols is achieved with copper-catalyzed methods employin...

In this work we have studied the dynamic scaling behavior of two scaling functions and we have shown that scaling functions obey the dynamic finite size scaling rules. Dynamic finite size scaling of scaling functions opens possibilities for a wide range of applications. As an application we have calculated the dynamic critical exponent (z) of Wolff’s cluster algorithm for 2-, 3and 4-dimensional...

Two factors were experimentally varied in order to study their effects on silent interval and segment duration at NP-VP boundaries in Swedish sentences. These factors, the syntactic complexity of the NP and VP portions as well as the length of the words in the sentence both had significant effects on silent interval duration. Concerning word length, the general trend was an increase in silent i...

More recently, Deprez and Pierce (1993) offered an explanation for Klima and Bellugi’s stages based on a parameter-setting model of Universal Grammar (UG) (Chomsky 1981). Deprez and Pierce proposed that the subject raising parameter is initially set to allow the subject to remain inside VP. According to Deprez and Pierce, sentences containing “external negation” result when the subject fails to...

Introduction Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) and Vibrio vulnificus (Vv) are human pathogens commonly associated with bivalve shellfish. These Vibrios cause infections to humans when patients consume raw or undercooked shellfish or when it’s in free-living form in estuarine environments. There are three clinical manifestations of disease caused by Vp and Vv; most common for Vp is gastroenteritis an...

Compressional wave velocities (Vp) in quartz aggregate were measured to quantify the effect of pore fluid (H2O) on Vp at high pressure-temperature (P-T). Ultrasonic measurements were conducted on dry and wet quartz aggregate from room temperature to 500°C at 0.5 GPa using a piston cylinder apparatus. The experiment showed a 4% decrease in measured Vp in quartz aggregate with increasing H2O cont...

The Dimensional Change Card Sort task measures the development of executive function. Children must switch from sorting cards based on shape or color to sorting by the other dimension. While 4-year-olds can switch rules, 3-year-olds perseverate. Moriguchi and Hiraki (2009) used Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure changes in PFC activation (F7/F8) in this task: 3and 5-year-olds who swit...

BACKGROUND During neurocardiogenic reaction provoked by tilt testing (TT), different arrhythmias such as sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, atrioventricular block or junctional rhythm or beats (JR) may occur. The characteristics of the JR during neurocardiogenic reaction have not yet been systematically assessed. It is not known whether the presence of JR during neurocardiogenic reaction is relat...

The vasopressin (VP)-containing projections from the cells of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis to the lateral septum (LS) are sexually dimorphic and dependent on gonadal steroids. Recently, the difference in VP distribution found among both sexes was also demonstrated in male mice genetically selected for different levels of intermale aggression. In the present study we examined whether ...
