Both theoretical and experimental studies are briefly discussed to shed lights on crystal shape, FT-IR, electronic, non-linear opto-response (NLO) characteristics of ethyl4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (MTTHPC). Theoretical FT_IR results in a proper concord with recorded measurements. MTTHPC has TDM (4.78 Debye) doublet spins that splits ori...

We present the results from a large near-infrared spectroscopic survey with Subaru/FMOS (FastSound) consisting of ∼ 4,000 galaxies at z ∼ 1.4 with significant Hα detection. We measure the gas-phase metallicity from the [N II]λ6583/Hα emission line ratio of the composite spectra in various stellar mass and star-formation rate bins. The resulting mass-metallicity relation generally agrees with pr...

The ubiquitous ATP synthase uses an electrochemical gradient to synthesize cellular energy in the form of ATP. The production of this electrochemical gradient relies on liposoluble proton carriers like ubiquinone (UQ), which is used in the respiratory chains of eukaryotes and proteobacteria. The biosynthesis of UQ requires three hydroxylation reactions on contiguous positions of an aromatic rin...

The flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) are important for xenobiotic metabolism. FMO3, the predominant FMO enzyme in human adult liver, exhibits significant interindividual variation that is poorly understood. This study was designed to identify common FMO3 genetic variants and determine their potential for contributing to interindividual differences in FMO3 expression. FMO3 single nucleoti...

The dual diene/1,3-dipolar character of 1-H-imidazole 3-oxide, HIO 1, allows this compound toparticipate in a competitive Diels-Alder (DA)/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction toward C=Sdouble bond of the electro-deficient sulfonyl methane SFM 2. The B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculatedrelative Gibbs free energies indicate that among the studied 13DC and DA reactions, former iscompletely preferr...
