The title compound, C22H29NO4, a stemona alkaloid, is composed of two lactone rings (A and E), a six-membered ring (B), a pyrrole ring (C) and a seven-membered ring (D). The five-membered rings A and E exhibit envelope conformations (C atoms as flaps) while ring C is planar. Ring B exhibits a twist-chair conformation due to fusion with pyrrole ring C while ring D adopts a chair conformation. Th...

Mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of the medicinal plant Duguetia furfuracea were assessed using SMART/wing and ring-X-loss tests. For the ring-X-loss test, 2- to 3-day-old Drosophila melanogaster ring-X-lineage males and virgin ywsn³ females received D. furfuracea infusion at doses of 0.085, 0.042, or 0.014 g/mL for 24 h. We found that D. furfuracea did not produce any mutagenic effects i...

In this paper we propose an efficient method to compress a high dimensional function into tensor ring format, based on alternating least squares (ALS). Since the has size exponential in $d$, where $d$ is number of dimensions, sampling scheme obtain $O(d)$ important samples order learn ring. Furthermore, devise initialization for ALS that allows fast convergence practice. Numerical examples show...

ÐWe study four augmentations of ring networks which are intended to enhance a ring's efficiency as a communication medium significantly, while increasing its structural complexity only modestly. Chordal rings add ashortcuto edges, which can be viewed as chords, to the ring. Express rings are chordal rings whose chords are routed outside the ring. Multirings append subsidiary rings to edges of a...

Proper control of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) signaling is critical for normal development and regulated cell behaviors. Abnormal EGFR signaling is associated with tumorigenic process of various cancers. Complicated feedback networks control EGFR signaling through ligand production, and internalization-mediated destruction of ligand-receptor complexes. Previously, we found that two ...

The spectroscopic properties of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radicalderivatives of the fullerene (C60) were theoretically investigated. The ground state optimizedstructures of the radical adducts of the fullerene were calculated by using DFT (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d) level. It was concluded that a 6-6 ring junction of C60 moiety generally covalently links to thepiperidine ring ...

The title compound, C(29)H(27)NO(4)S(2), was synthesized by reaction of trans-rac-4-(hydroxy-meth-yl)-2-phenethyl-3-(thio-phen-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-isoquinolin-1(2H)-one and 4-methyl-benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride in the presence of Et(3)N in CH(2)Cl(2). The relative orientations of the benzene ring (A) of the 3,4-dihydro-isoquinolinone ring system, the thio-phene ring (B), the benzene ring (C) of th...
