Safe- and convenient-to-handle surrogates of hazardous chemicals are always in demand. Recently introduced cyclohexa-1,4-dienes with adequate substitution fulfil this role as El+/H- equivalents in B(C6F5)3-catalysed transfer reactions of El-H to π- and σ-donors (C 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000...

the relationships between the safavids and the shirvānshāhs and the situation of the shirvān province during the safavid’s reign comprise one of the important chapters in safavid history from the politico-military dimension and on the internal and regional level. the appearance of shah ismā‘īl i in the scene of political challenge and his attack on shirvān in 906/1500, destabilized the power of...

We study continued logarithms as introduced by Bill Gosper and studied by J. Borwein et. al.. After providing an overview of the type I and type II generalizations of binary continued logarithms introduced by Borwein et. al., we focus on a new generalization to an arbitrary integer base b. We show that all of our so-called type III continued logarithms converge and all rational numbers have fin...

increasing incidence as a result of the longer lifespan, the increasing prevalence of degenerative diseases as well as the increase in injuries and stress associated with industrialized lifestyles. Both medical and surgical treatment modalities are available for treating sexual dysfunction. However, despite the increasing availability of effective conventional medical treatments, plant-derived ...

Guaranteed Annuity Options (GAOs) are options available to holders of certain pension policies. Under these contracts, policyholders contribute premiums into a fund managed by the insurer. At retirement, the policyholders buy life annuities at a guaranteed rate provided by the original insurer, or annuitize with another insurer. If the guaranteed annuity rates are better than the prevailing rat...

Freezing the price of Medicare benefits will be more effective than the ill fated copayment A n amendment to our constitution after the 1946 referendum (s51 [xxiiiA]) gave the Australian Government the power to set prices for medical services. 1 This amendment has often been incorrectly interpreted as the power to set doctors' fees. It is frustrating to see old misunderstandings distorting curr...

It was already observed by Euler [Eul1773] that the method of continued fractions occasionally requires a lot of tedious calculations, and even Fermat knew – as can be seen from the examples he chose to challenge the English mathematicians – a few examples with large solutions. To save work, Euler suggested a completely different method, which allows to compute even very large solutions of cert...

In this talk I discuss possibilities of probing the CP violation (CPV) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), at the LHC as well as its effects on the LHC SUSY phenomenology. In the latter case I mainly discuss its effect on the Higgs-sector and hence on Higgs Phenomenology at the LHC. After outlining the possibilities that a study of the χ̃±1 χ̃ 0 2 production at the LHC might offe...
