The homoleptic organocerium complex Ce{C(SiHMe2 )3 }3 (1) reacts with B(C6 F5 )3 to produce the zwitterionic bis(alkyl) hydridoborato Ce{C(SiHMe2 )3 }2 HB(C6 F5 )3 (2). NMR and IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography indicate that each alkyl ligand contains two bridging Ce↼H-Si interactions in both 1 and 2. Compound 2 serves as a precatalyst for the hydrosilylation of acrylates to give α-sily...

Self-dual codes over F5 exist for all even lengths. The smallest length for which the largest minimum weight among self-dual codes has not been determined is 24, and the largest minimum weight is either 9 or 10. In this note, we show that there exists no self-dual [24, 12, 10] code over F5, using the classification of 24-dimensional odd unimodular lattices due to Borcherds.

Objects grasped by an agent have a value not only for the acting agent, but also for an individual observing the grasping act. The value that the observer attributes to the object that is grasped can be pivotal for selecting a possible behavioral response. Mirror neurons in area F5 of the monkey premotor cortex have been suggested to play a crucial role in the understanding of action goals. How...

Results 79% of patients had specific IgE to Can f1, 19% to Can f2, 12% to Can f3, and 35% to Can f5. 44% were monosensitized to Can f 1, 19.5% to Can f5 and 0.6% to Can f3. Can f1 was associated with persistent rhinitis (p 0.01), Can f3 with severity of rhinitis and asthma (p <0.01, p 0.01, respectively), and Can f5 to both persistence and severity of rhinitis (p 0.02, p >0.001, respectively). ...

The mature T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is shaped by positive- and negative-selection events taking place during T cell development. These events are regulated by interactions between the TCR and major histocompatibility complex molecules presenting self-peptides. It has been shown that many antagonist peptides are efficient at mediating positive selection. In this study we analyzed the eff...

The first Gröbner basis algorithm was constructed by Buchberger in 1965; thus it bears his name to this day – Buchberger’s algorithm.[9] Though Buchberger’s algorithm looks relatively simple, it can take a very large amount of time. The step that creates 0 h via a normal form calculation is computationally very difficult. This is particularly frustrating (and wasteful) if the normal form calcul...

Orally disintegrating tablets are a solid dosage form compromising medicinal substances which disintegrate rapidly, generally within matter of seconds, when placed on the tongue. In this study, paracetamol orally was formulated and evaluated. Direct compression used to prepare 350 mg five formulations (F1- F5) by using single punch manual tableting machine. Pre-formulation studies were performe...

In this paper, we present an improved approach to the “breaking the F5 algorithm”. The key idea is to search for an “optimal” value of β (the probability that a non-zero AC coefficient will be modified) for the image under consideration. Rather than averaging the values of β for 64 shifting steps worked on an image, an optimal β is determined that corresponds to the shift having minimal distanc...

Despite recent advances in decoding cortical activity for motor control, the development of hand prosthetics remains a major challenge. To reduce the complexity of such applications, higher cortical areas that also represent motor plans rather than just the individual movements might be advantageous. We investigated the decoding of many grip types using spiking activity from the anterior intrap...
