In this paper we study an open problem: Is it true that each homotopy domination of a polyhedron over itself is equivalence? Since every ANR has the type polyhedron, question related in obvious way to longstanding Borsuk's problem (1967) two ANR's dominating other have same type? The answer positive for all polyhedra (or ANR's) with polycyclic-by-finite fundamental groups, manifolds, and clearl...

The title compound, C(18)H(23)NO(3), the adamantane derivative of norcantharidin, which is itself derived from cantharidin, crystallized with three independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, leading to the formation of a supra-molecular two-dimensional network.

It is believed that the quantum coherence itself cannot explain the very high excitation energy transfer (EET) efficiency in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex. In this paper, we show that this is not the case if the inter-site couplings take complex values. By phenomenologically introducing phases into the inter-site couplings, we obtain the EET efficiency as high as 0.8972 in contrast to ...
