Tailoring cocrystal and salt formation and controlling the crystal habit of diflunisal
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-26)Crystal habit modification of the drug diflunisal that normally grows into extremely thin, long needles has been achieved by breaking the stacking effect with the help of coformers. Eight new cocrystals are reported, along ... -
Tandem reactions via Barton Esters with intermolecular addition and vinyl radical substitution onto indole
(American Chemical Society, 2014-05-16)A one-pot initiator-free Barton ester decomposition with tandem radical addition onto alkyl propiolates or phenylacetylene with aromatic substitution of the resultant vinyl radical allows convenient access to new 9-substituted ... -
Tate's and Yoshida's theorems on control of transfer for fusion systems
(2010-03)We prove analogues of results of Tate and Yoshida on control of transfer for fusion systems. This requires the notions of p-group residuals and transfer maps in cohomology for fusion systems. As a corollary, we obtain a ... -
Teaming up synthetic chemistry and histochemistry for activity screening in galectin-directed inhibitor design
(Springer, 2016-06-24)A hallmark of endogenous lectins is their ability to select a few distinct glycoconjugates as counterreceptors for functional pairing from the natural abundance of cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids. As a consequence, ... -
Tectonic structure and permeability in the Taupô Rift: new insights from analysis of LiDAR derived dems
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2017-11-22)The location of permeable zones, and preliminary quantification of a geothermal well’s production or injection capacity are routinely interpreted from well pressure, temperature, and flow measurements made at ... -
Temperature effects on brain tissue in compression
(2012)Extensive research has been carried out for at least 50 years to understand the mechanical properties of brain tissue in order to understand the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The observed large variability ... -
Temperature-dependent phenotypic variation of Campylobacter jejuni lipooligosaccharides
(2010-11)Background:Campylobacter jejuni is a major bacterial cause of food-borne enteritis, and its lipooligosaccharide (LOS) plays an initiating role in the development of the autoimmune neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, by ... -
Tension lines of the skin
(Springer, Cham, 2019-05-29)Skin tension lines are natural lines of tension that occur within the skin as a result of growth and remodeling mechanisms. Researchers have been aware of their existence and their surgical implications for over 150 years. ... -
Testing the validity of a mechanism describing the oxidation of binary n-heptane/toluene mixtures at engine operating conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-02)The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of the n-heptane/toluene ratio on the reactivity of binary toluene reference fuels (TRFs), through a combined experimental and numerical work. Novel experimental ignition ... -
TeV and Multi-wavelength Observations of Mrk 421 in 2006-2008
(2011)We report on TeV gamma-ray observations of the blazar Mrk 421 (redshift of 0.031) with the VERITAS observatory and the Whipple 10m Cherenkov telescope. The excellent sensitivity of VERITAS allowed us to sample the TeV ... -
TeV Gamma-Ray Observations of the Perseus and Abell 2029 Galaxy Clusters
(2006)Galaxy clusters might be sources of TeV gamma rays emitted by high-energy protons and electrons accelerated by large scale structure formation shocks, galactic winds, or active galactic nuclei. Furthermore, gamma rays may ... -
Theoretical and kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of esters with HO2 radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2013-10-31)This work details an ab initio and chemical kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions by the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2) on the following esters: methyl ethanoate, methyl propanoate, methyl butanoate, methyl ... -
Theoretical chemical kinetic study of the h-atom abstraction reactions from aldehydes and acids by Ḣ Atoms and ȮH, HȮ2, and ĊH3 radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-11-11)We have performed a systematic, theoretical chemical kinetic investigation of H atom abstraction by H atoms and OH, HO2, and CH3 radicals from aldehydes (methanal, ethanal, propanal, and isobutanal) and acids (methanoic ... -
Theoretical kinetics analysis for Ḣ atom addition to 1,3-Butadiene and related reactions on the Ċ4H7 potential energy surface
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09-08)The oxidation chemistry of the simplest conjugated hydrocarbon, 1,3-butadiene, can provide a first step in understanding the role of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons in combustion and, in particular, an understanding of their ... -
A theoretical study of cyclic ether formation reactions
(Elsevier, 2016-06-09)Cyclisation reactions of hydroperoxyl-alkyl radicals forming cyclic ethers and hydroxyl radicals play an important role in low temperature oxidation chemistry. These reactions contribute to the competition be-tween radical ... -
Theoretical study of the rate constants for the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of esters with •OH radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-05-30)A systematic investigation of the rate constants for hydrogen atom abstraction reactions by hydroxyl radicals on esters has been performed. The geometry optimizations and frequency calculations were obtained using the ... -
A thermodynamic model of auto-regulated protein assembly by a supramolecular scaffold
(Wiley, 2019-03-12)Ligand-mediated regulation of protein assembly occurs frequently in different cellular contexts. Auto-regulated assembly, where a ligand acts as its own competitive inhibitor, provides a mechanism for exquisite control of ... -
Thermodynamics of linear and star polymers at fluid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Performing molecular dynamics simulations on model systems we study the structural changes and thermodynamic stability of polymers of varying topology (linear and star-shaped) at interface between two liquids. We find that ... -
