Pairs of pyrene-modified deoxyadenosine ((Py)A) units induce a stable interstrand i-motif structure, which can be characterized by a change in the fluorescence λ(max), with an exciplex emission that is not observable in its single-strand structure.

A kinetically stable self-assembled redox-active triangle is isolated. The resulting electron-donating cavity, which incorporates three BPTTF units, exhibits a remarkable binding ability for electron-deficient C(60), supported by a favorable combination of structural and electronic features.

Neutral, stable and luminescent metallacycles decorated with furan units, a 2D rectangle with four furans and a 3D trigonal prism with six furans, were synthesized from readily accessible starting materials through a fac-Re(CO)(3)-directed approach.

DNA replication occurs in mammalian cells at so-called replication foci occupying defined nuclear sites at specific times during S phase. It is an unresolved problem how this specific spatiotemporal organization of replication foci is determined. Another unresolved question remains as to what extent DNA is redistributed during S phase. To investigate these problems, we visualized the replicatin...

A novel synthetic method to create gold based metallo-oligomers/polymers via the combination of inorganic click (iClick) with intermolecular aurophilic interactions is demonstrated. Complexes [PEt3Au]4(μ-N3C2C6H5) (1) and [PPhMe2Au]4(μ-N3C2C6H5) (2) and {[PEt3Au]4[(μ-N3C2)2-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene]}n (8) have been synthesized via iClick. The tetranuclear structures of 1 and 2, induced by auroph...

There has been a lot of interest in the use of discrete-time recurrent neural nets (DTRNN) to learn finite-state tasks, with interesting results regarding the induction of simple finite-state machines from input-output strings. Parallel work has studied the computational power of DTRNN in connection with finite-state computation. This article describes a simple strategy to devise stable encodin...

Dickey AS, Suminski A, Amit Y, Hatsopoulos NG. Single-unit stability using chronically implanted multielectrode arrays. J Neurophysiol 102: 1331–1339, 2009. First published June 17, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.90920.2008. The use of chronic intracortical multielectrode arrays has become increasingly prevalent in neurophysiological experiments. However, it is not obvious whether neuronal signals obtain...

Abstract The aim of the present study is to explore strategies in enumerating units three dimensional (3D) arrays. We analyse enumeration students grade 3 (ages 8 9) situations cubical and spherical representations 3D By exploring students’ these two situations, we find that difficulties arrays can be traced units-locating, with consequence applying double triple counting. Our results also indi...
