The use of cationic polymers in gene therapy aims at improving the circulation, protection and delivery nucleic acids. modification poly(L-lysine) (PLL), including insertion hydrophobic moieties, is an efficient strategy to enhance transfection efficiency this synthetic system. PLL usually modified through either extremities polymer chains or amino groups present on side chains. Herein synthesi...

A series of phosphanes with imidazolyl substituents were prepared as hemilabile PN ligands. The corresponding gold(I) complexes were tested as bifunctional catalysts in the Markovnikov hydration of 1-octyne, as well as in the synthesis of propargylamines by the three component coupling reaction of piperidine, benzaldehyde, and phenylacetylene. While the activity in the hydration of 1-octyne was...

phenylazo and benzothiazolylazo derivatives of trifluoroacetylacetone andhexafluoroacetylacetone have been synthesized and characterized. analytical and spectral datarevealed the existence of phenylazo derivatives in the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded ketohydrazoneform while the benzothiazolylazo derivatives in the azo-enol form. the monobasicbidentate coordination of the phenylazo derivative...

Fast and reliable estimation of image derivatives is among the most fundamental tasks of low level image processing. Implicit finite differences offer much higher spectral resolving efficiency compared to explicit finite differences while the computational effort increases only slightly. Although implicit finite differences had become known to a general audience of numerical mathematicians and ...

An efficient protocol for post-functionalization of organo-imido polyoxometalates is developed via creating a remote tertiary “N” atom over the surface of organo-imido hexamolybdates and subsequently post-functionalizing it with the help of allyl or alkyl halides to afford stoichiometric, “in situ” crystalline products at moderate temperatures. The parent organo-imido product 2 and post-functio...

Microbial protein synthesis in the rumen would be optimized when dietary carbohydrates and proteins have synchronized rates and extent of degradation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of varying ruminal degradation rate of energy and nitrogen sources on intake, nitrogen balance, microbial protein yield, and kinetics of nutrients in the rumen of growing kids. Eight Boer goats (38...

above. For example, does each carbon atom of the ring in phenol lack one electron of filling its eight "possible electron positions" or do three of the carbon atoms lack two electrons each while the remaining three carbon atoms have all their "possible electron positions" filled, or is there some other combination? In conclusion, the main purpose of presenting this detailed scale model of the b...

We present a method for estimating intrinsic images from a fixed-viewpoint image sequence captured under changing illumination directions. Previous work on this problem reduces the influence of shadows on reflectance images, but does not address shading effects which can significantly degrade reflectance image estimation under the typically biased sampling of illumination directions. In this pa...
