A series of Z-scheme CdS-RGO-BiVO4 catalysts were prepared and their photocatalytic activities of hydrogen production were measured in visible light region. The results indicated that the Z-scheme system CdS-RGO-BiVO4 prepared by evaporation & photo-reduction method possessed the highest photoca...

Dy doped SmCo magnets with the nominal composition of Sm1−xDyx (Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)z were prepared by powder metallurgy method. The influence of Dy content on the remanence temperature coefficient and microstructure of magnets was investigated. XRD and TEM analysis showed that the magnets with diffe...

A comprehensive review on the synthesis, reactions and applications centered on the highly stable and sterically hindered cobalt sandwich compound (η5-Cp)Co(η4-C4Ph4) is presented. The derivatization of the cyclopentadienyl and cyclobutadiene rings, reactions, structural properties and applica...

The CP violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe YB in the “flavoured” leptogenesis scenario, based on the simplest type I see-saw model of ν-mass generation, can arise from the “low energy” neutrino mixing matrix U and/or from the “high energy” part o...

The ligand [2-chloro-3-(3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolyl)quinoxaline] (L) have been prepared from 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline and 3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole. The reaction of N,N′-bidentate chelating ligand (L) and the corresponding metal precursors [(arene)Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 {arene = p-cymene, benzene, hexamethylb...

Spectral editing with CP and INEPT in 13C MAS NMR enables identification of rigid and mobile molecular segments in concentrated assemblies of surfactants, lipids, and/or proteins. In order to get stricter definitions of the terms “rigid” and “mobile”, as well as resolving some ambiguities in...

We construct phenomenologically viable supersymmetric models where CP is an approximate symmetry. The full high energy theory has exact CP and horizontal symmetries that are spontaneously broken with a naturally induced hierarchy of scales, ΛCP ⪡ ΛH. Consequently, the effective low energy theo...

We propose a realistic theory based on the SU(3)c⊗SU(3)L⊗SU(3)R⊗U(1)X gauge group which requires the number of families to match the number of colors. In the simplest realization neutrino masses arise from the canonical seesaw mechanism and their smallness correlates with the observed V-A nature...

Food quality and safety has been a great public concern all over the globe and reliable sensors or monitoring systems has become a prerequisite to affirm quality of various food commodities, especially highly perishable foods, such as seafood, pork, beef, lamb and chicken. Food freshness chemose...

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokine production, leading to airway epithelial injury. However, the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of PM2.5 have not been clarified. Here, we show ...

We present an analysis on the production of two same-sign lepton pairs at the LHC, mediated by bileptons in the SU(3)c×SU(3)L×U(1)X theory, the so-called 331 model. Compared to other 331 scenarios, in this model the embedding of the hypercharge is obtained with the addition of 3 exotic quarks ...

We discuss the prospects for observing CP violation in the MSSM with six CP-violating phases, using a geometric approach to maximise CP-violating observables subject to the experimental upper bounds on electric dipole moments. We consider constraints from Higgs physics, flavour physics, the dark...

Sarsasapogenin, a kind of mainly effective component of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge, possesses good antitumor properties. Two series of new sarsasapogenin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicities against three human cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549, MCF-7) using the ...

Magnetite nanoparticle conjugated with pyrrolidinyl peptide nucleic acid ([email protected]) was synthesized for use as both a magnetic nano-support and a probe for specific adsorption with complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). [email protected] with the size ranging between 120 and 170 nm ...

Structure-based evolution of the original fragment leads resulted in the identification of 4-[2-hydroxyethyl(1-naphthylmethyl)amino]-6-[(2S)-2-methylmorpholin-4-yl]-1H-pyrimidin-2-one, (S)-21, a potent, selective phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) p110β isoform inhibitor with favourable in vivo ...

The enzymatic inhibition of histone deacetylase activity has come out as a novel and effectual means for the treatment of cancer. Two novel series of 2-[5-(4-substitutedphenyl)-[1,3,4]-oxadiazol/thiadiazol-2-ylamino]-pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-amides were designed an...

Based on structure–activity relationship studies of the benzoic acid part of diphenylamine-based retinoids, the potent RXR agonist 4 was derivatized to obtain retinoid agonists, synergists, and an antagonist. Cinnamic acid derivatives 5 and phenylpropionic acid derivatives 6 showed retinoid ago...

Enantiomerically pure α-amino acids (α-AAs) are, for a long time, considered as a major class of chiral pools. Their employment in the enantioselective synthesis of natural products has made enormous impact in the general organic synthesis. This review is an effort to discuss the state of the ...

Present work describes the in vitro antibacterial evaluation of some new amino acid conjugated antimicrobial drugs. Structural modification was attempted on the three existing antimicrobial pharmaceuticals namely trimethoprim, metronidazole, isoniazid. Twenty one compounds from seven series of c...
